55 分钟People would expect to see post divorce, like, you gotta get back out there and date.
And I thought, date.
I need to figure out who I am, and I need to like myself first and then maybe love myself.
It's one thing to have your personal life fall apart in private, where you can deal with it in the way that you need to deal with it.
It's an entirely different thing to have that exact same thing happen when you're a well known broadcast journalist and the anchor of television news station in New York City.
This week's guest, Tanzan Vidal, went through that exact thing when her marriage largely exploded in a very public way.
How she handled that, how she handled something that was one of the most hurtful and challenging things that anybody could go through in a personal life.
But how she handled that when she was in the public eye is something that we go into in this week's episode.
But we don't just explore that.
We also really take a step back and explore her journey, how she moved into journalism, what lights her up about it.
We talked about the field of journalism and broadcast media now, and how it's evolving at a breakneck pace, and how there's this really kind of fascinating dance or struggle between entertainment and education and information, and how you handle trying to be neutral and letting your opinion and your personality play a role, but also try and be the voice of neutrality.
It's a really challenging thing.
Really excited to share this conversation with somebody who has an incredible amount to share about a lot of parts of life.
I'm Jonathan Fields.
This is good life project.
So there's so much I want to explore with you, and I kind of want to jump back, and that's fine.
Take you from the time that you were two years old all the way up through the years.
Okay, I can do it.
But there's actually something I want to jump in with you first before we go there.
And it's come up a number of times with me and with what we're doing here.
