There’s more than one way to get there, by Tig Notaro

<p>The many highs of Tig Notaro’s comedy career (Emmy and Grammy nominations, creating TV shows, and hosting the “Don’t Ask Tig” podcast) may seem predestined. Yet these are all things that seem beyond the realm of possibility for young Tig. In the early 2000s she’s told that because she’s a woman, and she’s gay, and she’s low-key and deadpan, she’ll never make it. Today, she shares the story of how she learns to keep going, no matter how impossible the road may seem, and to remember that there’s no one way to get somewhere.</p><p>Listen to Michael Imperioli's Meditative Story, "The courage to trust, the courage to create": <a href="https://listen.meditativestory.com/MichaelImperioliPIO" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://listen.meditativestory.com/MichaelImperioliPIO</a></p><p>Find Tig’s tour dates, including her upcoming appearance in Las Vegas on June 2nd: <a href="http://tignotaro.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tignotaro.com</a></p><p>Listen to Tig’s podcast, <em>Don’t Ask Tig</em>: <a href="https://www.dontasktig.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">dontasktig.org</a> and</p><p>Listen to Tig's podcast <em>True Story</em>: <a href="https://headgum.com/tig-and-cheryl-true-story" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">headgum.com/tig-and-cheryl-true-story</a></p><p>Follow Tig on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/TigNotaro" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/TigNotaro</a></p><p>Follow Tig on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/therealfluffnotaro/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/therealfluffnotaro/</a></p><p>Follow Tig on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tignotarocomedy/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/tignotarocomedy/</a></p><p>If this story resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you.
