This week’s guest is Cheryl Strayed.
We dig deep into the author and advice columnist’s thoughts on love, life and creativity, plus there’s some juicy intel on her involvement in a new Janis Joplin project. Add to that, she reveals the best and worst advice her grandmother ever gave her, her best memories and her worst fears.
Back in 2012, Strayed published her memoir Wild, which then became an Oscar-nominated film starring Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern. Now all three have banded together as EPs, with showrunner Liz Tigerlaar (Little fires Everywhere), to adapt Strayed’s book Tiny Beautiful Things into a Hulu series.
For many years, Strayed has been an advice columnist called Dear Sugar, and her book Tiny Beautiful Things is a collection of those columns. The new Hulu series takes those columns and adds a modern-day narrative, starring Kathryn Hahn as Claire, a reluctant advice columnist whose own life is crumbling around her ears.

Tiny Beautiful Things ended on a bit of a cliffhanger!
Charna Flam In preparation for her latest production, “Tiny Beautiful Things,” costume designer Alana Morshead “stalked every book [Cheryl Strayed] wrote and everything [she] ever said, and put it into this show.” Hulu’s newest limited series “Tiny Beautiful Things” released all eight episodes on April 8, andis based on Strayed’s best-selling collection of her “Dear Sugar” advice column, “Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar.” Kathryn Hahn stars as Clare, a mother and wife whose world begins to crumble — just in time for her to become an advice columnist. Morshead immersed herself in the author’s previous work, diving into “Wild” and “Brave Enough,” in an effort to bring Strayed’s story to life through costuming nods and references to the author’s personal history. “It’s such a personal story,” Morshead told Variety.
Hunter Ingram SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers from “Love,” the finale of the limited series “Tiny Beautiful Things,” now streaming on Hulu. Hulu’s “Tiny Beautiful Things” ends on a serene note, with a hospital bed in the middle of a horse pasture and a single spoken word: “love.” The moment is one of the few shared between Kathryn Hahn and Merritt Wever in the limited series, which is based on author Cheryl Strayed’s life and her time writing an advice column called “Dear Sugar.” Wever plays Frankie, the free-spirited mother of Hahn’s character Clare, who (like Strayed’s mother) dies suddenly of lung cancer at the age of 45. The story primarily takes place in the present day as a grown-up Clare (played by Hahn) grapples with the trauma of having lost her mother, while Wever’s character exists in flashbacks to the 1990s when Clare was in her 20s and played by Sarah Pidgeon.
Emily Longeretta Kathryn Hahn hadn’t read Cheryl Strayed’s book “Tiny Beautiful Things” before signing on to the Hulu limited series. But she knew from the moment she got to know the lead character that she wanted the role. Clare is a writer whose life is in shambles — her marriage isn’t in a good place, she’s still grieving the death of her mother and she’s struggling to connect with her teenage daughter. When a former colleague offers her to be come Sugar, a popular, anonymous advice columnist, she reluctantly takes a chance. “Clare doesn’t know all the answers and is a work in progress herself, like we all are. It’s through her shame, and grief and depths of self unworthiness, she finds this shockingly awake and honest voice that she doesn’t know that she has. But I think it’s so pure and hilarious,” says Hahn. “It was impossible to say no to.”
