Its got action, romance, suspense, and plenty of nail-biting drama.
Me and Cleo are both very fearless, Grant tells SELF.
We go after what we want, and were protective of our loved ones and friends.

I was really kind of uncomfortable with the idea of therapy.
At first, I was like, No, I dont think thats for me.
It doesnt work, she explains.

I was like, Im so broken, so you know what?
Let me try it, Grant says.
And it was one of the best decisions Ive ever made.
This interview has been edited and condensed for length and clarity.
Its okay to speak up for yourself, even if it feels uncomfortable at first.
It wasnt a place where I could say, Actually, I dont want to eat that.
I want to eat something else now.
That wasnt the environment for that.
For a long time, I didnt know how to comfortably share what I needed.
It was almost as if I didnt have an equal voice in the house.
Setting boundaries can be intimidatingbut writing what I want to say beforehand helps me organize my thoughts.
If Im nervous, Ill write down what I want to say beforehand in my notes app.
I also have ajournal, where I’ll jot the raw deal, banana peel of how Im feeling.
Then, Ill go back and keep editing it.
Enforcing boundaries isnt mean or selfish.
Boundarieswere another big priority for meand learning how to implement them too.
I felt like setting these limits meant I was being mean or not doing what everyone expected of me.
But by doing that, I also wasnt taking care of myself.
So when I decide to set one, I think about my why.
For example,Why do you should probably take Friday off?
It may seem like youre letting other people down.
It may upset others that youre not able to work that day.
But are you healthier for yourself when youtake that time off?
That was just a random example.
Its all still a work in progress for me, to be completely honest.
Sometimes, I feel really, reallybad and guilty.
Getting professional help can be intimidating, but finding the right therapist makes it all worth it.
Its okay if youhave a bad first experience.
But the first step is trying it.
Just make that first appointment and show up, and dont judge what happens.
But dont be scared.
