Maria Bamford Didn't Wait For It To Be Perfect

The comedian talks with me about what mental illness has taught her about managing money and allowing herself to be loved. 

Maria's new comedy special is called Weakness Is The Brand. Listen to This American Life episode 261 to hear more about the Gottmans, the husband and wife psychologists Maria has turned to for marriage advice.
