I became so much happier in that process because I found myself and I, you know, I took up new hobbies, and it sounds so stupid, you know, but I felt I was in a great place and as a result we were in a great place.
Ever wondered how to navigate the ups and downs of midlife? Tova Leigh, a writer and performer with a global following, joins Helen Russell on 'How To Be Sad' to share her journey through the so-called crisis years. Tova, who started her career as a lawyer in Israel before moving to the UK to pursue acting, has become a relatable voice for many through her candid discussions on parenthood, marriage, body confidence, and sex.
In this episode, she opens up about losing her identity, overcoming fear, and the importance of having difficult conversations—sometimes more than once. Tova also touches on the pressures of social media and its impact on mental health, the myths surrounding monogamy, and the challenges of being sexual in your 40s. Her frankness about secrets, confessions, and shame offers a refreshing perspective on the normal sadness that comes with being human.
For anyone feeling lost or overwhelmed by the demands of modern life, Tova’s story is a beacon of hope. She discusses how she found herself again and learned to embrace happiness despite the setbacks. Whether you're struggling with societal expectations or just looking for some honest advice on how to be your true self, this episode is a must-listen.
Tova's insights are both comforting and empowering, reminding us all that it's okay to be sad sometimes—and that joy can be found in the most unexpected places.
