I'M MARRIED!! Today, my husband Jake joins me to recap our wedding weekend—from the nerves and hiccups to the sweetest moments and tears of joy. We spill all the tea about our rehearsal dinner speeches, the heartfelt moments from our ceremony, the joyous celebrations at our reception, and the epic after-party that kept the festivities going. Plus, we reflect on how each of these moments brought us closer together and share the highlights and challenges of our wedding day.
Thank you to our incredible vendors who made this day possible. We couldn’t recommend each of them more highly.

I'm joined by Danielle, a 31-year-old woman living in LA, who opens up about the trauma she went through due to her alcoholic father. She shares how she believed nobody would want to be with her because of what her family was like, and as a result, she closed herself off to finding love. We hear how she moved to Los Angeles to get a fresh start and how she hit rock bottom before creating a life for herself that brought her true happiness. Now, she fears that she's too fiercely independent and successful to find someone.

My friends Sammy and Glenn met as coworkers and became close “friends with nonsexual benefits.” Sammy and Glenn share how they’ve helped each other naviate dating situations by providing the perspective of the opposite gender, talking one another off the ledge when they’re spiraling, and hyping each other up IRL. We hear how they’ve grown as daters, if they’ve ever argued or disagreed on how to approach a dating situation, how they’ve found the confidence to go to singles events & more.

I’m joined by a 30 year old woman who opens up about spending a year and a half in a tumultuous on again, off again situationship with someone she met at work. She shares how things went from being blissful to confusing overnight, and how she never knew which version of him she would get when she would walk into work or spend time with him. We hear how her friends expressed their concern, how he ruined her 28th birthday, and how she found out he was seeing someone else while they were together. She shares what her healing journey has looked like, the difficulties of trying to move forward while having to see the person everyday, and what she’d learned from going through this experience.

To celebrate the release of her new novel, “This Summer Will Be Different,” my favorite author Carley Fortune joins the podcast today! Carley and I chat about what we’ve learned about love and relationships from the characters and love stories in her three novels. We discuss how her childhood experiences shaped the characters and settings in her books, how female friendships play a major role in relationships, and if “right person, wrong time” holds true. Carley tells us her transformation from award winning journalist to NYT best selling author, and we hear how she met her husband and how he’s supported her through various life changes.

I'm joined by a woman who opens up about how her nine-year relationship with her high school boyfriend that was filled with infidelity and emotional abuse finally came to an end. She shares how she held onto the idea of what the person she wanted him to be vs the person he was, along with how she became stronger because of what she went through. We discuss dating after a breakup of this magnitude, what she learned from working with a life coach, and what she's looking for now. Plus, we chat about how we're all guilty of accepting less than we deserve and that you're never alone no matter how isolated you feel in what you're going through.
