It's a secret power.
It can benefit our love lives, our careers, our friendships.
And the only catch is that we have to be vulnerable.
The book is called Revealing the Underrated Power of Oversharing by Leslie Johns.
So Leslie says that you need to start sharing more in basically all situations.
She says at work, great.
Dating, definitely.
People who are married, you have to keep talking about your feelings, which every straight man loves to hear.
So she has four steps for sharing more, especially for very private people.
But before I get to the four steps...
I want to know what each of you feel about TMI.
Are you over-sharers?
Claire, let's start with you.
It depends on the context, right?
Like I think at work, and Jessie and I know each other primarily through work, I would say the bar for what is TMI at work is fairly low.
Meaning that anything to do with your toilet habits, perhaps if your stomach is a little bit in a difficult spot right now, you had a fight with your partner.
I think all of these things may be not typically what you want to be sharing with people at work.
No, sex I think in general is considered over show at work.
I mean, you're British.
Like, I assume that overshare for you is like how you take your tea.
