About this listen

The author of the runaway hit Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies shares honest and practical lessons for healing your past and owning your future so you can radiate strength, bravery, and joy when life gets dark.

“A revealing and powerful book that lit me up from the inside out.”—GLENNON DOYLE, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed

Tara Schuster thought she was on stable ground. For years, she’d worked like hell to repair the emotional wounds inflicted during what she refers to as her “mess-wreck disaster” of a childhood. She’d brought radical healing rituals and self-love into her life. On most days, she was a happy, stable adult. She even wrote a book about it!

But then she lost her job, the one on which she had staked her entire identity. Cue a panic-attack-doom-spiral that brought her harshest childhood traumas to the surface. Isolated at home during a global pandemic, she felt piercing loneliness and a lack of purpose like she had never known. Finally, after experiencing a terrifying dissociative episode while driving down the highway, she realized that enough was enough; she needed to slow down and pull over—literally. It was time for Tara to stop the hustling and to reclaim her essential, free, and loving self.

Glow in the F*cking Dark is a guide to healing your deepest wounds, getting off your “good enough” plateau, and creating the spectacular life that you most desire. Tara clawed her way out of the darkness and recovered her shine, and in this book, she shows how to

• recognize trauma reactions and choose new ways to respond

• find what’s really under your anxiety

• repair your relationship with your body

• find solace and purpose in something bigger than yourself

Full of practical, achievable baby steps that we can take today, this book is for anyone ready to liberate themselves from their emotional suffering, discover their purpose, and finally sit in the driver’s seat of their life. It’s for anyone who is tired, hurting, and feeling like their essential brightness has dimmed. It’s for people who are ready to glow, even when sh*t gets grim.

Critic reviews

“Tara Schuster is a phenomenal storyteller—a woman who insisted on reclaiming her agency to shine in bleak circumstances. Glow in the F*cking Dark is a revealing and powerful book that lit me up from the inside out.” —Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed, founder of Together Rising, and host of We Can Do Hard Things

“Healing takes effort—and we can’t do it alone. In Glow in the F*cking Dark, Tara Schuster guides us along as she finds her way through her own pain and offers honest, often funny, and actionable advice for taking charge of your emotional health.” —Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone and co-host of the podcast Dear Therapists

“Tara Schuster has done something remarkable: She’s written a guide to facing the slings and arrows of life that’s both delightfully irreverent and disarmingly earnest. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you might just come away stronger and better.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife

Loved her story, loved the practical tips. My only wish is that there would be a companion download with all the writing prompts and the “little something that helps” sections so I can remember it all.

I was a big fan of Buy Yourself the F*ing Lillies, but this follow up is so raw, honest and inspiring! Anyone in therapy, who wants to heal and be a better version of themselves will benefit from this book. The author reading it herself is an honest and amazing connection and this is definitely worth a listen. Highly recommend!!!

I loved the honesty and genuineness of Tara Schuster. I think her book has and will help anyone who reads it, including me.

Really great life advice

As someone who’s been on their own healing journey for a while, most of these tips were not new. However, it feels so much different coming from someone who has a story similar to your own. I love how vulnerable and raw Tara was while sharing her story. I finally felt like I could relate the author of a “self help” book and find ways to finally incorporate the advice in my own life.

A reminder to never stop glowing.
