The better half of Toni and Ryan podcast comes the memoir of Toni Lodge. This book made me laugh as she runs naked on a treadmill. Cry, my heartbreaking as she retells her grief making her voice break and everything in between as she recaps all the crazy stuff that happens to her. I truly felt Toni was talking to me like a friend, telling me her story.
I’ve been through grief after losing the one who helped, loved, and raised me. Hearing Toni talk about her mom was a blessing and a curse for me, but well worth feeling those feels. Time does not heal grief. You learn to deal and recognize those emotions for what they are. You cherish the memories.

Toni Lodge is known as one half of the “Toni & Ryan” podcast, one of the funniest podcasts I’ve ever listened to. In her book “I Need Therapy (and Other Lies I’ve Told Myself)” she talks about all the lies she has told herself during her life, for the small things and the big things.
Toni Lodge is one of the funniest women I follow online. Together with Ryan Jon, she talks about everyday stuff, which makes all their topics relatable. I don’t read a lot of non-fiction books, but couldn’t wait to dive into Lodge’s memoir.
Lodge talks about all the lies she has told herself throughout the years. Everyone tells a little white lie every ones in a while, but sometimes you do it for the bug stuff too. And like the podcasts she has, a lot of the things she talks about are very relatable.
Lodge is very open about everything that happened in her life. From her massive “Twilight” obsession, to her mental health issues, and that time is her thing making her always be way too early to every location and her meeting with the Dalai Lama. How she talks about her mother, who passed away way too soon, and how she choose to not be a parent.
Lodge tells her life’s story exactly like we know her from the podcast. The book made me smile and laugh out loud, but also touched me and made me cry (also out loud). I could relate to many things in the book and it felt like a friend telling me about her life. Especially the part about deciding not to become a parent really stuck with me. How, many people still think it’s an odd choice, to not follow the route that is deemed to be more traditional one by society. I struggle with this myself and I felt like Lodge understood this exactly.
“I Don’t Need Therapy (and Other Lies I’ve Told Myself)” is inspiring, heartwarming and funny, a book I recommend to everyone who loves listening to the “Toni & Ryan” podcast.

Normally biographies or non-fiction aren't my genre of reading, but I stumbled across the audiobook in my Libby app and thought, oh hey, I know Toni from Instagram - she's funny and I love that she narrates her book herself. So I listened to what Toni had to say. Her stories are funny and so honest that I laughed with her, but also had tears in my eyes at some points because she spoke from my soul at not just one point. Thanks Toni and I think it's great that you've become famous.
