    Jake Shane 'always feels vulnerable' as he continues to host Therapuss and prepares for tour

    TikTok star Jake Shane lives out loud online, often sharing much of himself on social media.

    He’s now going to spill all the team in front of an in-person audience as the influencer will be hosting a live version of his Therapuss podcast . Beginning in October, Jake, who has 3.2 million TikTok followers and 834K Instagram followers, will be going on his Therapuss Live Tour until November 22. Jake is traveling across the country as he’ll bring The Therapuss Tour to locations spanning from California to New York. The internet personality is looking forward to stopping in Fayetteville, Arkansas the most since it is the first location he did "anything live" in.

    "They just really showed up for me and I'm excited to show back up for them," Jake told People.

    Jake teased during an interview with the news outlet that the Therapuss Tour will be an "unhinged” in-person version of his online podcast. Every show in the tour will be different, feature surprise guests, and also interactive elements with audiences.

    "I'm so excited to be in front of a live audience," he told the news outlet. "It's truly my favorite part of this. Sometimes when I'm recording a podcast or I put a podcast out, it's rewarding, but when you don't hear the laughs in real-time, you get a little more insecure about it or a little more in your head. So I am excited to hopefully feel a bit more confident after being able to make people laugh in person."

    Jake has been transparent about his experiences with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder since he began posting content on TikTok three years ago. Through his platform, he advocates for mental health, often using humor to get his point across and connect with his followers.

    The TikToker admitted that he "always feels vulnerable" sharing his life online, but he usually tries to brush off any insecurities. "I'm always kind of like whatever ... it'll be fine," Jake said.

    Jake added that when he was on the red carpet for the 2024 MTV VMAs, he realized how important it was to make people feel comfortable during interviews. He understood from his own experience that it was necessary to create a positive atmosphere.

    "The hardest part was trying to make someone feel comfortable in three minutes or less," Jake admitted. "And then the most rewarding experience was because if I'm interviewing or talking to someone, I don't want it to just be like, I'm shooting you a question, you answer. I want it to feel like a conversation. So that was a challenge, but I think the rewarding part is that people received it really well."
