Tiny Pep Talks: Bite-Size Encouragement for Life's Annoying, Stressful, and Flat-Out Lousy Moments

By Paula Skaggs & Josh Linden

Why should you need to be doing something important or impressive to get a pep talk? Two comedians offer hilarious encouragement for your most mundane struggles.

Anybody can tell you “You can do it!” before the big job interview, or before you walk down the aisle, or before you head out onto the field to make the game-winning kick at the Super Bowl. But what about the other 99.99% of stuff you do? Who’s going to gas you up for all those low-stakes situations where you need an extra push?

That’s where Tiny Pep Talks comes in. Comedians Paula Skaggs and Josh Linden are rooting for you, and they’re here to cheerlead you through your everyday challenges. You’ll find specific, constructive, and—most of all—very funny motivation for:

• Parallel parking (cars just weren't meant to go sideways!)
• Sending a scary email (if you died and came back as a ghost, wouldn't it suck if this was your unfinished business?)
• Making a doctor’s appointment (think how good you'll feel when you're finished—like a runner's high without the chafing!)
• Doing your taxes (just round to the nearest dollar! The IRS could never be mad at you—not with a face like that)
• Getting through a breakup (did you know the grocery store will sell you a cake on any day for any reason?)
• Remembering that all your friends are not secretly mad at you (they're busy worrying all their friends are secretly mad at them)
• ...and many more!

If you’re going through it, have ever gone through it, or will maybe go through it in the future, let Tiny Pep Talks give you the boost you need.
