I don’t know about you, but I’ve always found some aspects of the body positivity movement to be impossible to apply to my real life. From reciting affirmations in the mirror to feeling this daunting pressure to radically love every inch of myself, I just couldn’t get on board - it never felt realistic or achievable to me. But then I discovered Gabi Fresh’s content on Instagram and learned about the concept of body neutrality: which leaves room for the times we find it hardest to love ourselves ...

This week’s Live From Bed is a little different, we’re LIVE from my office where Catherine and I sat down (together, in person for the very first time on tape) - and went deeper than we ever have. Starting with an absolutely humiliating story, I answered tons of questions you submitted on my latest AMA and shared things I never have before. Like details about my parents divorce, all my tattoos, and how to make friends as an adult. We discussed fighting with your in-laws and how to navigate that ...

things i’d rather not live without: - Hanni - Dr.PawPaw Tinted Balm - Thinx Underwear - Tower 28 SOS Spray - Lioness Low-Rise Pants (These are just things I love, not sponsored!) Today TikTok sensation Victoria Paris is on the show, and she blew my mind. She so articulately walked me through her messy past, and the dark side of the “fuck-you-success” she’s acquired, seemingly overnight. Just 23, Victoria amassed over 1.7 million followers and counting across TikTok and Instagram. After losing he...

This week’s Live From Bed is extra spicy. I’ve decided that because there are no secrets between us – and because I’m hardcore PMS-ing – I should let you all in on my pet peeves, controversial opinions, and things I just LOATHE entirely. All the thoughts I’m normally too afraid to actually admit out loud. We talk about our sex dreams, how we feel about exes, and what really qualifies as a red flag versus an intrusive thought (or our anxiety). Catherine and I deep dive on this week’s “Enemy #1” a...

I sort of have a vulnerability hangover from this episode but, alas, I think you’ll really love it so that’s all that matters, right? Catherine and I took a magnifying glass to my past, as I described in crazy detail how I survived a hellish, dark period in my twenties. One I was convinced I’d never be able to talk about in retrospect…until now. We also talked about: Our 10 best tips for any of you that find yourself attending a wedding alone (or any party, for that matter). My ‘Depression Folde...

WE’RE BACK BABY!!! After three long and crazy weeks we’re officially reunited and back with a brand new season! This week we have TWO guests for the price of one: legends and best friends Rayna Greenberg and Ashley Hesseltine who you probably know as the co-hosts of comedy/dating/sex/relatiobnships podcast Girls Gotta Eat and now are the founders of sex-toy company Vibes Only. We dove head first into dating, being single in your thirties, not wanting children, what *admittedly* makes us bad frie...

Catherine and I were admittedly unhinged this week on our Live From Bed episode. We had a lot on our minds before we leave each other for two weeks and had some urgent things we had to discuss with you: We talked about… Sex is great but have you ever cancelled a plan? The scary truth about being a bridesmaid Accidental emasculation Jade teaches Catherine everything she knows about plastic surgery…from experience And, why you should always go to bed angry We had the time of our lives recording th...

This week I got to talk to fellow asshole Morgan Absher who hosts the very popular podcast “Two Hot Takes”. Accompanied by her team of co-hosts and celebrity guests, each week Morgan delivers hot takes on some of the internet's craziest questions, relationship dramas and problems, while simultaneously tackling deeper topics including mental health, self-love, and the importance of forming healthy relationships in all areas of listeners' lives. On her podcast she has a segment called “Am I The As...

Hunter McGrady is such a dreamboat. This conversation was expansive, honest, so funny… and truly nothing was off limits. We talked about the challenges and shame that can come with finding a wedding or bridesmaids dress for a curvy figure. We talked about 2020, during which Hunter not only welcomed her first child but was a time when her life came to a crashing halt with the unexpected loss of her younger brother. She shares how she straddled the most devastating and crippling grief with the exc...

This week Catherine and I got INTO it. We laughed, we cried, and we talked about the do's and don'ts of the most recent source of friendship-breakups: Venmo. How long can/should you wait to Venmo someone? What exactly IS that soul-crushing feeling of getting an unexpected Venmo request. Are you allowed to decline a Venmo request if you feel it was unwarranted? THESE are the things that are keeping me up at night! I confessed to Catherine the ways in which I'm a bad friend who WON'T pick you up f...

Casey is a dream TMAI guest. First of all, she, like me, is fluent in Real Housewives and dropped the most shocking Housewives truth bomb in this episode that absolutely shook me to my core. Secondly, she wrote one of my favorite books, The Wreckage of My Presence , in which she generously details ALL of her cringiest moments and bad feelings. She also shines a light on a formative childhood experience that she and I both went through and commiserated about extensively. We talked about getting f...

After spending millions and having her life and career nearly destroyed, Michelle shares her first-person experience escaping the world of Scientology after decades of devotion and abuse. Listening to Michelle's story I found each turn more shocking than the last and I am sure your jaw will be on the floor, as mine was, hearing each harrowing detail. She has survived and endured so much and I feel so strongly that this story is an important one to tell. The shame she feels, the abuse she endured...

Trigger Warning: This episode is about abortion. As most of us recently learned, the Supreme Court is threatening to overturn Roe v. Wade. This news is heavy and jarring and, as someone who has had an abortion, I know firsthand how triggering this very public debate can be. I needed to get my thoughts out and vent to you guys about what this decision really means, just in case any of you feel the same. You might be curious about abortions, have had an abortion yourself, or love someone who's had...

How much sex is enough sex? Are my s/o and I doing it often enough? What if we went on vacation and forgot to have hotel-room sex? …is that bad? This week I sat down with my producer Catherine and spilled all the stuff I'm too embarrassed to talk to my friends and fiancé about. Like being the best friend of someone falling in love and how annoying it can be when suddenly all plans revolve around the new fling, my reasons behind swearing off red wine, our uses for the IG “close friends” list, and...

This week we called in icon, legend and neuropsychiatrist Dr. Louann Brizendine to help us understand why we do the things we do: How a woman remembers fights that a man insists never happened Why thoughts about sex actually enter a woman's mind less often than they enter a man's Why women use more forms of communication per day than men How a woman over fifty is more likely to initiate divorce than a man Dr. Brizendine was among the first to explain why women think, communicate, and feel differ...

I'm convinced Laura Clery was sent from above to make sure no woman felt alone in a shitty feeling ever again. We talked for over an hour about everything from chronic people pleasing, redefining “rock bottom” with addiction, ADHD, to abusive relationships and being brutally honest with ourselves. Speaking of honesty, this episode is a refreshingly truthful and vulnerable one–you'll laugh, you might cry, but I know for sure you'll relate to something in our conversation. Laura reminded me that n...

My guest this week needs absolutely no introduction. She is none other than the icon, the legend herself, PARIS HILTON. This week, Paris and I peeled back the pink curtain and got very real about what it's actually like to be, well, Paris Hilton. I got a rapid-fire, deep dive with her of pure honesty and a level of openness we've rarely heard from her in other interviews. We talked about the abuse she experienced many years ago and how the character “Paris Hilton” actually came to be–and if we'l...

This week my producer Catherine and I had a lot to catch up on amidst brutal jet lag and PMS. I complained to her about social anxiety and how hard in-person conversations are. We talked about our biggest physical insecurities and how we handle it (or break down) when someone points them out. We dissected the versions of our past selves we wish we could forget, and how much time we waste talking shit about ourselves. And finally, we did the thing of all things and finally bridged the gap between...

After two long weeks, we are back!! To kick off our NEW SEASON, TikTok sensation and Coral Gables QUEEN Tefi stopped by to commiserate with me. We talked about being depressed (duh), breaking off an engagement (hers, not mine - don’t worry Mom), and Tefi’s experience with disordered eating. We talked about being mean to others, most of the time because we’re mean to ourselves…oh and we talked about nose jobs, too! Estefanía Pessoa, AKA Tefi, is an entertainer and expert as it relates to all thin...

We have another spicy LIVE From Bed for you this week! Come hang while my producer Catherine and I Zoom from our beds and untangle my messy list of life events since we last spoke. We talk about Plan B, fitting my “modern family” into a “traditional family” wedding, my first ~clubbing~ experience since COVID, and some things that have been fueling my anxiety. We also talk about an inspiring run-in with Courtney Love, and debrief all about my trip to New York. I complained to Catherine about brid...

If you’re in a long-term relationship, have you ever secretly asked yourself any of these questions? Am I as in love as I SHOULD be with my significant other? Are we having enough sex? Am I settling? Is it wrong that I have doubts about our relationship? What if I’m ignoring red flags? What if we breakup 10 years from now? And what is the healthy amount of doubts I should have?! What is this intrusive voice in my head that second guesses my healthy commitment? Is it my gut or anxiety? Do I trust...

Catherine and I talked about open relationships, social media anxiety, and the magical world of mushrooms. Sit back and feel seen as we commiserate about therapist breakups, cohabitating with a significant other, PCOS, and love/hating ourselves. Uh oh…the TMAI production team has COVID! SO, we’ll be back with a new episode next week and THIS WEEK we’re airing one of my favorite past episodes with comedian Catherine Cohen. Cat is a comedian, a writer, a podcast host, a poet… a 21st century renais...

This week’s episode couldn’t have come at a better time. My depression decided to rear its ugly head a couple weeks ago, and no matter how many times I’ve been through this, I have to admit it always scares the sh*t out of me. In this episode, you’ll hear all about my rut… and I hope all my depressed and anxious friends out there can relate… My guest this week and I talk all about OCD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, Zoloft, Adderall, and Ketamine infusions. I’ve been dying to have an episode that la...

Dylan is out of town and this week I’m hanging out with my friends…. and this week’s episode is coincidentally all about friendships. If you’re in your twenties, or thirties (or have ever been in your twenties or thirties), chances are you’ve dealt with friendship drama. Friendship breakups, toxic friendships, trying to maintain long-distance friendships — the friendship topic is one everyone’s hungry to talk about. It can feel so lonely when a friendship you’ve had since you were 3 no longer fe...

Well this is probably the weirdest description I’ve ever had to write. Releasing this episode was just as hard as you can imagine. I went back and forth several times, and even now, I have a lump in my throat and am wrestling with the reality of letting everyone in on this super-intimate experience. But what’s harder is imagining another woman having to go through this, someone who can’t find a similar story to reference. This is for you. It’s just my story. I spared no details, we left things r...

It’s a weird feeling to some days be your own biggest fan and other days your own harshest critic. It can feel like a maddening perspective shift and walking the fine line between self awareness and complete self annihilation can be an impossible task. If you’ve ever felt this way, look no further. Your fellow overthinkers (Morgan Stewart McGraw and I) are here to let you know you are far from alone… Morgan (@MorganStewartMcGraw) came on the show and gave us a heavy dose of realness. We talked a...

Today we have a dynamic duo on the show. One half of that duo is a woman who was a HUGE part of most of our childhoods – a peer we grew up watching on TV– Raven Symoné, aka Raven Baxter of That’s So Raven, aka Olivia on The Cosby Show! The other half of this couple is Miranda Pearman-Maday, a doula (we love a doula around here) who stars alongside her wife Raven in their new Youtube series 8pm ! 8pm gives you a sneak peek into their lives, and each episode is different - from conversations about...

Let’s be real, the universe has been kicking all of our asses over the past two years. Between brutal mercury retrogrades, Saturn returns, and full moons I’ve been asked more than ever about astrology. I’m a Sagittarius with a Capricorn moon and Cancer rising (woop woop). I love astrology and growing up in LA astrology was just as common recess conversation as what your mom packed you for lunch. BUT astrology is definitely having a moment right now. Recently a friend of mine called me asking if ...

After five long weeks, we are *finally* back! I was so hesitant to take this break, but we’ve been recording like crazy and with the holidays, I'm surprised to admit: it flew by. BUT I am so happy to be back, truly I’m lost without you guys, so happy new year and let’s get back to business. I turned a year older since we last spoke and I have a million other updates but I’ll save that for a solo episode when we can really get into it… I’ve been looking forward to this episode for months. We reco...

After months of hearing me tell countless stories about him and letting me embarrass him on this show, we thought it was time to invite my fiancé Dylan to hang out with us this week. Dylan is my better half in nearly every way and I think you’ll agree and love him as much as I do -- well hopefully not quite that much, that’d be weird, but you know what I mean… We go over all the details of Dylan’s proposal (in the least cringey way, as aforementioned), talk a little about our history, argue abou...
