Parvati Shallow
Jul 10, 2025 • 7:00 pm ET
At twenty-five years old, Parvati Shallow was plunged into fame and fortune after winning the reality TV series, “Survivor.” But despite her success, the ghosts of her traumatic past, coupled with the harsh glare of the public eye, kept her locked in a cycle of fear and shame that sabotaged her self-confidence and eroded her self-trust. It wasn’t until a series of painful life events, including the death of her younger brother and a divorce, that she found herself on a path of healing that would awaken her true power and reset the course of her life.
In Nice Girls Don’t Win: How I Burned It All Down to Claim My Power, Shallow—a five-time competitor on “Survivor” and breakout star of “The Traitors”—shares the stories that allowed her to transform her most difficult moments into catalysts for empowerment. From her childhood growing up in a Florida commune to the L.A. casting rooms that would drop her in the lush but brutal landscapes of “Survivor,” Shallow shows what it took to survive and reveals how she rebuilt herself into something much greater.

Sea, I'm jealous about the Joan Baez interview.
Many years ago, I took my mother and aunt to a concert at the small theater near my town. I live in such a snooty area. She had her son playing in the back up band. We three were the only ones hooting, cheering and clapping wildly for them and singing along. Everyone else in the theater acted like they were at the opera and were stone silent. I felt really bad for the band, because they were great and weren't getting any feedback.
The women sitting next to us told us to be quiet. My mother was old, she was the biggest Bob Dylan and Baez fan, and this was a once in a lifetime event. I was enraged, but stayed quiet.
During the intermission, I ran into her and her friends in the bathroom. I apologized d to them and told them that my mother has breast cancer and this was her dying wish to come to this concert. That shut them up and they apologized to me. When I went back to my seat, I told my mother I took care of it and to make all the noise you want. We had a grand time.
And it was a half truth I told. She did have it, but was declared it was all gone. But, I knew the chances were against her about it coming back and I was going to make sure she enjoyed herself. Don't piss off a daughter.
I sometimes wonder if I'm waiting on those old biddies at my job.

Depending on the year...
In the sixties when I saw Joan at Berkeley Community Theatre, she wanted dead silence and if there was noise during a song, she would stop singing. This was obviously before she had a son.
Also she was highly dissociative, so that could have changed her demeanor.
I saw her again at Universal Amphitheater in the early 80s with Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie and Ronnie Gilbert of the Weavers.. Amazing. By then Joan was so much more relaxed and her fans were young and old, bikers in leather and there was hooting and hollering.
On her Instagram she is seen happy and dancing.
Your mother would love it.
