This week I got to sit down with a woman whose music was such an important part of my adolescence (and probably yours, too). To this day, I know every word to Baby It’s You, Too Little Too Late, and Leave (Get Out). She starred in Aquamarine -- how much did I love Aquamarine? -- and has the voice of an angel. Yes, no other than JoJo. The ORIGINAL JoJo, that is. JoJo let me in on why we didn’t hear from her for nearly ten years while she endured a legal battle with her record label that silenced ...

You are cordially invited to… LIVE FROM BED PT 2! If you’ve listened to this show before, you know that bed is my safe place, my happy place, and the place where I get all my best ideas--and have my most iconic shame spirals. Today’s episode is a peek inside my psyche -- I talk to my wonderful producer Catherine Law (@cathalizabeth) about the things that've been on my mind this week, the stuff I’m working hard on in therapy, my (many) thoughts on friendship, and go over some important life updat...

***Trigger Warning: In this episode we talk about miscarriage, surgery, and fertility issues.*** Over the past few months I’ve received countless requests to talk more about fertility and have a fertility-focused episode. I don’t know if it’s something in the air right now, the fact that I’m now (vomit) in my late twenties, or what but it seems like I can’t go anywhere with other women lately without talking about fertility. Freezing eggs, AMH levels, IUI procedures... it’s enough to make your h...

This week we’re going to take another listen to one of my all time favorite episodes of the show thus far. This episode is a true embodiment of why I wanted to create this show in the first place. A heart to heart with one of my favorite women and friends, Stephanie Shepherd - or as she’s known on the internet, Steph Shep. You probably know Steph most notably from her connection to the Kardashians (she was Kim’s assistant for years and is now a permanent part of their world). Which is kind of wh...

The one word to describe this episode is: raw. Marta has been through a lot and had her world turned upside down in her early twenties, a time where most of us are already adrift in the choppy seas of self-doubt. After a benign tumor required surgical removal of part of her lung at 21, Marta lost her mom just a couple years later, at 23. For obvious reasons, going through both of those things affected nearly every aspect of her life, from her psyche to her friendships and romantic relationships....

I’ve admittedly been a die-hard fan of Vanderpump Rules since the first episode in 2013, so getting to interview Lala Kent was a dreammmmm come true. She’s known as the spitfire, no bullshit, realest of the real, and someone you can’t help but relate to and love. She is a self-titled pop-off and can go toe-to-toe with the best of them but beyond her tough exterior she is extremely sensitive, empathetic, deep, and loving. We got into some very real stuff and I’m even more obsessed with her than I...

Lately I’ve been thinking about this show and the incredible guests we’ve had thus far. My goal with TMAI is to have such a wide range of experiences, issues and stories from our guests, that everyone is able to find comfort and validation and even some empathy in at least one other woman’s story. I want to start with a trigger warning. This episode will touch on sex work, human trafficking, sex-trafficking, domestic violence, stalking, and abuse. A friend recently sent me an article from Elle f...

Let me start by saying...I LOVE this episode--am I allowed to say that? I’m a loyal follower of the patron saint of pop-culture Amanda Hirsch, more commonly known as @NotSkinnyButNotFat, and I may have actually shrieked with excitement when she agreed to come on the show. We commiserated about anxiety and depression, starting antidepressants, and the rocky road of denial we both experienced. I asked Amanda allllll about Instagram etiquette and got all her do’s and don'ts. We dove into transition...

This week I sat down with...or Zoomed with... AMRIT. AMRIT has ditched her surname and is taking over the sex and dating world with her show Unhinged on NTWRK. Amrit is a contagious ball of energy.

We talked about the VERY odd jobs she took when s...

Hiiiiiii!! We’re shaking things up over here and this week’s episode is JUST ME (and my incredible producer Catherine Law).

It’s impossible to talk about the world of beauty writing without mentioning Rio Viera-Newton. While it may seem the stuff of NYC legend, a viral Google Doc in 2017 outlining her skincare regimen, and passed among friends, catapulted her to a career as a beauty columnist for New York Magazine. This week, she and Jade discuss the link between acne and depression, wrestling with disordered eating, the pain of friendship breakups and how to save yourself from a lifetime of people-pleasing.
