In her witty and thought-provoking talk, Negin Farsad delivers a refreshingly candid take on three universal topics — parenting, happiness, and sex — all through the lens of humor and honesty. Known for blending comedy with cultural insight, Farsad unpacks the messy realities of modern life, where self-care, love, and family rarely align with the picture-perfect expectations we’re taught to chase.

Drawing on her own experiences as a mother, partner, and first-generation Iranian-American, Farsad examines how our ideas of success and intimacy are shaped by social pressure and outdated narratives. Her signature blend of sharp humor and heartfelt reflection challenges audiences to embrace imperfection — to see joy not as something we chase, but something we create in the chaos.

Farsad’s storytelling isn’t just funny; it’s deeply relatable. She reminds us that laughter is a form of resilience, that vulnerability can be strength, and that being “spicy” — bold, curious, unapologetically human — might just be the key to happiness.

Through humor and cultural truth-telling, “A Spicy Take on Parenting, Happiness and Sex” shows that while life rarely follows a script, it can still be wildly meaningful — and hilarious — when we stop pretending it should.
