Jennifer Tilly: Self-Deprecating Humor

In this episode of Alec Mapa: Hot Mess with Matthew Dempsey Psychotherapist, Alec and Matthew are excited to welcome Oscar-nominated actress from Bullets Over Broadway, world-class poker player, and star of the new Chucky television show, Jennifer Tilly. Jennifer opens up about growing up in a dysfunctional family, how she started to play the airhead, and how her use of self-deprecating humor has both worked for her and been a disservice to her in her life. Alec and Matt share their own experiences of using humor as a defense, struggling with imposter syndrome and learning to tell the difference between what we feel and what the truth actually is. Stay tuned for Jennifer’s wild stories from her long career in show business and why as a queer icon, she says she often finds herself running from lesbians! https://twitter.com/jennifertilly https://www.instagram.com/jennifertilly/ https://www.instagram.com/alecmapa/ https://www.youtube.com/user/wapa710 https://twitter.com/alecmapa https://www.facebook.com/people/Alec-Mapa/100057653426944/ https://www.instagram.com/mjdempseypsych/ https://www.facebook.com/mjdempseypsych/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfgOmfPKTaarlwGmgIWzOaQ https://twitter.com/MJDempseyPsych   http://stage29.tv/  https://www.instagram.com/stage29podcasts  https://twitter.com/stage29podcasts  https://www.facebook.com/Stage29Podcasts  Learn more about your ad choices.
