Let’s be real — periods are a huge part of life for millions of us, but we’re still taught to suffer through the pain, stay quiet about the discomfort, and not ask too many questions. In today’s episode, I'm joined by Kate Helen Downey, host of the incredible podcast CRAMPED, who is on a mission to change that. We’re getting into everything you should have been taught about your body but probably weren’t –– the truth about hormones, the reality of living with endometriosis (endo) and PCOS, why the system isn’t built for menstruating bodies, and how period pain is affecting our wallets, careers, and overall health.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your pain is "normal" (hint: if it’s wrecking your day, it’s not!), or felt dismissed by doctors when you tried to get answers, this conversation will make you feel seen. We’re breaking down the phases of your hormonal cycle, what debilitating period symptoms might be telling you, and why advocating for your health — even when the system is stacked against you — is an act of radical self-care.

We spend so much time stressing over budgets, investments, credit scores—basically, all the numbers. But what if I told you the biggest financial decision you’ll ever make isn’t about money at all? In today’s episode, I’m getting real about the one life choice that will shape every part of your financial future—and yet, almost nobody talks about it. This isn’t another investing episode (though those are important too). This is about who you choose to build a life with, and why that decision matters more than almost anything else when it comes to your long-term wealth, career growth, and personal freedom.
Whether you're single and dating, in a committed relationship, or reevaluating your partnership, I’m breaking down what a healthy, equitable financial relationship actually looks like—and the red flags you cannot ignore. If you're ready to make smarter decisions about your love life and your financial life, this is your episode. Let’s dig into the conversation that could save your money—and maybe even your peace.

You know that little voice in your head that says, “What will they think?” The one that’s held you back from hitting publish, setting a boundary, or even just being yourself? Yeah, we’re done with that. In this episode, I sit down with the iconic Mel Robbins to talk about how to finally stop caring what other people think—and start living for yourself. This isn’t your typical self-help chat. It’s real, unfiltered, and hands down one of the most vulnerable conversations we’ve had on the show.
We’re not just talking about why it’s time to let go of other people’s opinions—we’re unpacking how to do it, especially when it’s your parents, your boss, or your internet trolls. Mel shares how she navigates criticism, the emotional toll of success, and why it’s not your job to manage other people’s feelings. If you’ve ever felt held back by fear of judgment, or struggled to show up as your full self—this episode will change the way you see your life, your relationships, and your ambition.

Ever wondered what it’s like behind the scenes at Saturday Night Live? Well, you’re in for a treat because today I’m sitting down with SNL writer and comedian Ceara O’Sullivan—the brilliant mind behind the viral Domingo sketch. Ceara takes us inside the fast-paced world of late-night comedy, sharing what it’s like to write and pitch sketches for one of the most iconic TV shows of all time. From the grueling weekly schedule at SNL to what actually happens when a sketch bombs, Ceara gives us an inside look at a dream job that’s equal parts exhilarating and exhausting.
But this episode isn’t just about SNL—it’s about the hustle, the rejection, and the financial realities of being a creative. Ceara opens up about her journey from improv in Boston to TikTok during the pandemic, to finally landing SNL (on her second attempt!). We also get into the economics of being a comedian—how she manages money in a field with unpredictable income, when she knew it was time to become an S Corp, and how much it actually costs to build a career in entertainment. If you’ve ever been curious about what it takes to break into comedy, or you just want to hear some wild behind-the-scenes stories from SNL’s 50th season, this episode is for you.
