Thanks for tawking with me this season. For our final episode, I wanted to introduce you to one of my best friends. As an adult, it’s difficult to balance a career, kids, relationship, and social life. Add long distance to that list and the situation becomes harder to maintain. True friendships go through ups and downs yet still stand the test of time. What kind of friends are there and what purpose do they serve? How do you know when your friendship is worth the effort? Mary Sierra-Cordes and I...

Red flags – we’ve all seen them and ignored them. They creep into every part of our lives from our mental health to our relationships to our jobs. I’m guilty of not taking my own advice by letting things go unaddressed rather than facing my problems and having those hard but necessary conversations. What is this avoidance crisis leading to? What are common red flags? And what are some signs you might be dismissing them? Let’s tawk. Let’s Tawk contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for...

I’ve been hearing a lot of economic scare talk lately. And frankly, I struggle to understand half the words that come out of people’s mouths like recession, inflation and interest rates. It’s time to get financially literate so we can prepare for whatever comes our way. Are we really headed toward a recession or is the media just playing this up? How can I improve my money habits so I can save more and splurge less? Let’s tawk. Let’s Tawk contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all...

I was the face of a reality TV show that was unlike anything we see on Bravo nowadays. There was no cheating, dramatic arguments or face-slapping. In fact, this was a wholesome show about a Jersey girl navigating love in the South. My dear friend and Bravo executive Leslie Farrell was with me through the entire journey. How did I manage to get my pitch picked up by one of the top TV networks? What made this show a “fish out of water” idea? And why wasn’t it enough to bring the show back? Leslie ...

For decades, I have struggled with accepting certain parts of my body. I worry that as soon as I walk into a room, the first thing people notice about me is what I feel most vulnerable about. As women, we aren’t used to talking about our intimate body parts because those conversations aren’t normalized – they don't feel safe or relatable. Although we have similar anatomy, it all looks very different. And these differences are nothing to be ashamed about. So where do these insecurities stem from?...

I still have so many tender but challenging memories of my early teenage years. The teasing from classmates. The body changes that everyone seemed to notice. The life-changing conversations that at first felt fleeting but have stuck with me since. And now as a parent, I’m realizing that I play a significant role in how my own children experience this formative period in their lives. I can help guide them through the murky waters of middle school, but are they actually going to want that? Am I eq...

Ann Wilson is undeniably talented. When I was a teenager, I would wait by the radio for her songs to be played and was just constantly blown away by the sheer power of this woman. Her voice alone allowed her to breakthrough as a female rockstar in a time that was dominated by men. With her newest album, Fierce Bliss, that power is coming through as strong as ever. Did she ever doubt herself? Where did she get all of her confidence? Ann Wilson and I tawk. Let’s Tawk contains mature themes and may...

I’d like to start out with the caveat that I recorded this episode during the height of having COVID. It was so challenging to collect my thoughts and feel in control of anything. Which, oddly enough, is exactly how I feel going into this summer. It’s the first summer where I’ve planned almost nothing for my kids and where they are more autonomous than ever and I’m having a hard time with that. Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to provide the perfect summers for our kids? Let’s tawk. L...

When you’re a creator – whether a movie producer like me or a famous pop singer/songwriter like Belinda Carlisle from the Go-Go’s – the pressure to constantly make award-winning content starts to weigh you down. If you make a #1 song or a box office hit...it only gets worse. How can we actually regain control of our lives and creativity? How do we reteach ourselves where our value really comes from?

I think shame is something everybody experiences and carries. For me, it’s very different from embarrassment or guilt, even though guilt is oftentimes a byproduct of that shame. Some of us have found ourselves in uncomfortable or traumatic situations that have led to years of negative thoughts and feelings that later manifest themselves in unhealthy ways. But can we move past it all and live in the present for our own sake? To heal? Let’s tawk. Please be advised that this episode features conver...

The second I feel like I’ve been hurt by someone my instinct is to just move away, and that has cost me so many relationships in my life. I’ve learned it’s far better to set boundaries.

But how do you set fresh boundaries with the people you’ve known for a long time? Let’s tawk. Let’s Tawk contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners. Keep up with Ja...

I think our desire to know every detail about the personal lives of celebrities is a sickness. Leaked pictures. Stolen birth certificates. Private videos. There’s no end!

Just in time for the holidays, we’re revisiting one of our all-time favorite episodes of Tell Me What to Do – Fighting Over Faith. At its very core, religion is about shared beliefs.

Either way, disagreements over religion can be some of the hardest issues to resolve. In this episode, Jaime opens up about her religious journey from Judaism to Catholicism. Then, she answers que...

Wrinkles. Sagging boobs. Chin hairs. Let’s be honest, aging isn’t fun.
