LIVE FROM BED with Jade Iovine

Taylor Strecker joined us in bed this week!! The podcast and radio host and ‘everyone’s best friend they’ve never met’ took us behind the scenes of her divorce, thinking she was straight when she wasn’t, and her decision to tell the world she’s on Ozempic. She spilled her initial (very hot) take on the Bethenny/Raquel (Rachel?) interview, the celebrity she says is a total asshole in person, and the juicy details about her and her wife’s baby-making journey!

This week my ADHD brain and I take you for a wiiiiild ride. From the legend of blue balls and Jade’s Introvert Recuperation Program (JIRP), to the impossible maybe-baby questions so many of us are tormented by: When should I have a baby? Do I even want kids? When will I feel ready? Is anyone ever ‘ready’? Am I too young? Am I too old? Will my life be over? How can I know what I may or may not be missing out on if I’ve never had it? Will it ruin my relationship with my partner? Blah blah blah… I also share tips on how to handle when someone you love is feeling depressed/going through a depressive episode, “Choice Moms”, and the one question not to ask when you’re invited somewhere. Buckle up baby, and welcome to the inside of my brain… For more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/ Executive Producers Jade Iovine + Catherine Law Audio Engineer Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

This week, for the very first time on LFB I invited two of my best friends to answer some of your burning friendship questions. A couple weeks ago I asked you guys to send me your modern friendship problems (they were SO juicy so thank you…) and Nicole and Alexa a.k.a Pete and Don entered the group chat to help us out. How to deal with: The friend that copies everything from your hobbies to clothes. The bridesmaid who has fallen off the grid The ex-best friend you’re going to run into The childhood best friend who has a cheating boyfriend The friend that never pays you back Friendship vs. Facetune How to make friends in a new city (how to handle the second date…) For more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/ Executive Producers Jade Iovine + Catherine Law Audio Engineer Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

Live from NEW YORK, it’s…me!! Hi, all my favorite people. This week I’m commiserating from my hotel room in the big city. It’s just me and you this week and truly, I’ve never needed to vent so badly: I finally talked to a pet psychic. And, well… I’ll never be the same. Wondering: will I ever stop missing my best friends? It seems like it’s only getting worse. Reminiscing on a catastrophic miscommunication with my therapist. And you guys, I need to tell you about the absolutely humiliating, mortifying moment I cannot stop thinking (and cringing) about. Send help - I’m never leaving my house again.

SO I have Covid. Which I’m going to blame for the eclectic nature of this episode… I had so many things I wanted to vent to you about while we were OOO, so I hope you enjoy bouncing around from topic to topic as I try to cram it all into this catch-up sesh. Drinking & Flying The two ways to think about vacation sex My thoughts on Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) Being the problematic person on a family vacation Ozempic opinions: Do you think someone who’s on Ozempic should tell people (family, friends, fans) they’re on it? Your Mom Jokes How I feel about social media PDA… Why are we terrified of couples therapy? Would you be mad if your significant other didn’t post on your birthday? AND last but not least we take a hard left as I share the inner child meditation that saved me from my last menty b. Enter at your own risk… Hosted on Acast.

This week we discussed something I’ve been DYING to talk to you guys about: the ins and outs of FRIENDS with BENEFITS… What questions should you ask before you begin a friends with benefits situationship? How long do they usually last? Are you being “benched”? Will a friendship end after we’ve made things sexual? Is it possible to make it out of FWB unscathed? And how many people secretly wish it would turn into a relationship? We share anecdotes from our own hellish experiences and how we got out of these situationships in very different ways… We also covered: Being kept a secret What constitutes as 3rd/4th base when hooking up Dylan’s first text to me The #1 rule I live by that Oprah taught me How to be there for a long distance friend who’s going through something For more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/ Executive Producers Jade Iovine + Catherine Law Audio Engineer Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

Every year, Pornhub releases their top kink searches by state, and all I can say is…you’re about to learn about fetishes you never even knew existed. Catherine and I also talked about sex lives in long term relationships, how to tell if someone wants to have sex with you, and uncovered a darkly hilarious lost memory of when my parents told me they were getting divorced. I also had the WORST hangxiety of my life last weekend and needed to vent to you guys about it. I go through the stages of hangxiety, and wonder: was I actually as bad as I think?

It’s just you and me this week, baby! A solo-solo…one-on-one…up close and personal…a tête-à-tête…mano a mano episode. Crawl in bed with me as I lay it all out there–as uncensored and unhinged as humanly possible. We’ll get into: my unfiltered feelings as we enter ‘bikini season’... the foolproof way to really tell if you’ve outgrown a friendship… how I’m handling the gray area of friendship that no one warned me about… how to deal with hearing someone is mad at you… the curse of vacation outfits… And best of all, my latest LIST OF FAVORITES: Tower 28 Rescue Spray Air Doctor Makeup By Mario SurrealSkin Liquid Foundation Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil in shade: honesty EB Denim The Row Wesler Cotton Jersey T-Shirt Chanel Retractable Kabuki Brush Éterne Linen Robe Safely Laundry Detergent Amazon Powder Triangles Executive Producers Jade Iovine + Catherine Law Audio Engineer Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

This week I vented to Catherine about my thoughts on a modern phenomenon I've decided to call "Toxic Relatability". In an era dominated by online (omni)presence, we've witnessed a shift from aspirational girlbosses to the emergence of self-proclaimed relatable advice-givers. While this change initially seemed refreshing and beneficial, I’m now finding that I've never felt so judged. From the ever-looming fear of "the ick" and our incessant pursuit of spotting "red flags" to the rampant overuse and misuse of terms like ‘gaslighting’ and ‘boundaries’, we find ourselves adrift in a sea of misguided counsel and these one-size-fits-all rules. How do we know whose advice to listen to and when does advice turn toxic? I also shared the common mistake we all unwittingly make when we get into a relationship, the art of “looking ugly”, the truth about snooping in your significant other’s phone, my theory about sad girls, and the five psychological tricks I’m obsessed with.

I can’t believe I finally get to say this… Welcome, welcome, welcome to the very first episode of LIVE FROM BED!!!! I’m so excited I can’t handle it, but at long last we are breathing new life into our podcast baby and with that comes a name change. The artist formerly known as Tell Me About It is now LFB! This show has grown so much since we first started and you and I have changed so much in all the worst and best ways so, to reflect that, I thought it was time we shake things up around here. This show will be more of the same things you know and love and so. much. more. We’re getting more raw, giving more behind the scenes, more of my secrets will be told, and best of all we’ll be able to continue the conversation past the episodes each week with exciting extra episodes, live shows, etc. (more on that later…) BUT as you all know, bed is the higher power I believe in. It’s my center of gravity: the place where I hide from the world, where my friends and I gossip, where my husband and I…hang out…, where I dream, dread, and dine. So I’m inviting you guys, my cherished pajama friends, into bed with me. So we can continue to commiserate, laugh and cry, evolve and regress together all from a horizontal position. Welcome to the new and improved. I’m so grateful. AND I LOVE YOU. Produced by Catherine Law Edited and Engineered by Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

This week Tinx joined the LfB group chat to talk VERY openly about the rollercoaster year she’s had. We talked about the theories she grew famous for, the tweets that got her canceled, and the book she wrote about it all: ‘The Shift’. You may think you know her, or that you’ve made your mind up about her controversies, and hear me when I say all opinions are valid and welcome. What she reveals in this conversation is her firsthand, very personal account of what that experience was actually like to go through-–judgment and morality aside. To rise and fall, to have the internet and people you thought were your friends turn against you, to have to own the worst things you’ve done, and resist the urge to abandon yourself when everyone else is running for the hills…when the love and fame suddenly turns into public hate. You’ll hear her talk about all of it in this episode, like never before. The first half of our conversation is about everything from what would happen if people were honest about their relationships, choosing whether or not to sleep with someone you started dating, the tightrope-walk of living with the Big Three (Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD), to the failproof sex position Tinx swears by. Then, we take a deep dive into the darker side of Tinx’s story. As always, I want to know what you guys think - so DM me and we’ll talk allllll about it. And stay tuned for our big show announcement next Tuesday… Get a copy of Tinx’s Book ‘The Shift’ here! Produced by Catherine Law Edited and Engineered by Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

I hate to be this girl BUT…we have a crazy exciting announcement for you next week so while we get ready for that I thought it’d be fun to revisit one of my favorite episodes. Fun fact: I grew up next door to the Playboy Mansion. So, to me, the girls next door really were the Girls Next Door. It added another layer to my already colorful childhood, with parties and peacocks that kept me up for all hours of the night. But one incredible day in 2005, E! Released a brand new show called…THE GIRLS NEXT DOOR, and the lives of every millennial girl changed forever. The Girls Next Door was a reality show about The Playboy Mansion, Hugh Hefner and his three girlfriends Holly, Bridget and Kendra. These dynamic women quickly became the stars of the show, and captured the hearts of families and young women nationwide. The show gave us a look inside the wild lifestyle of three very different women with one common interest: their boyfriend. It showed their extravagant costumes, the parties they’d host, vacations and day trips all over the world, their butlers, lavish lifestyle, and many, many dogs. But, as with most things, their lives weren’t quite what they seemed. In addition to all the fun and playfulness the show captured, there was jealousy, manipulation, body issues, infighting, and a dark side to the boyfriend they were basically employed by. And damn, did we GO THERE… Holly and Bridget joined me on this week’s episode, and didn’t hold back about the years they lived at the mansion, dated Hef, and starred in (in my opinion !!!) one of the best reality shows of all time. Not only did we reminisce on the years we spent as neighbors, but they let me in on the secrets of the mansion, Hef’s world, the parts they’d rather forget, and everrrrryyything in between. We explored Holly’s neurodivergence, some of the sexual aspects of the girls’ relationships with Hef, how they feel about his death, and how it impacts the way they think about him now. They told me all about the drama inside the mansion, the excuses they’d use to get out of going out or sex, diet culture within the house, the rules they were expected to follow, and answered ALL our burning, behind-the-scenes questions we’ve spent the last decade dying to know. Don’t quote me on this, but this might be one of the juiciest TMAI episodes of all time. Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

This week I invited best-selling author, 15-year veteran of the beauty and fashion industry, Succession devotee, and secret hand model DANIELLE PRESCOD to hang with me. In October of 2022, Danielle released “Token Black Girl” - a refreshingly honest memoir about racial identity, pop culture, and delusions of perfection. This hour-long heart-to-heart is filled to the brim. We talked about everything from fibroids and egg-freezing, to growing up as one of the only Black girls in her school in Connecticut, and how that influenced (and maybe even catalyzed) her disordered eating. We dove into how she and her family are coping with her sister’s new role on Bravo’s hit show Summer House, and explored the concept of making peace with the idea of starting a family without a partner… and how that might radically change the experience of everyone desperately “searching” for their other half. I can’t recommend this book enough… Order ‘Token Black Girl’ here. xo For more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/ Executive Producer Catherine Law Audio Engineer Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

HOW are we already at 100 episodes!? It feels like this show started just yesterday, but at the same time, it’s hard to imagine what my life was ever like without it. Most importantly, I have to give the biggest thank you to you guys. My pajama friends. Those of you who have been here since episode one, those of you who are just starting to listen today…it’s not lost on me what a privilege it is to be in your ear and get to tell you all my secrets, to commiserate and laugh with you each week. You guys are the coolest – the most emotionally intelligent, and strong, and getting to know you through our DMs has been the most fulfilling thing - I'm so damn grateful for it every day. I’m crazy about you guys, and I’ll save the rest of the mush for the episode. Now onto the good stuff… This week I roped Catherine into uncovering a childhood memory most of us experienced… and maybe even would rather forget. We uncover the truth behind “playing house”, the suppressed memories, cringey experiences, and what the role we played says about us as adults. Additionally we chatted about bad Venmo behavior, texting etiquette, and the universally terrible experience of being told you look like (or act like) someone else… YOU ARE MY PEOPLE AND I ADORE YOU. Thank you for 100 episodes.

After two looooong and hellish weeks, I have risen from the depressive hole I’ve been stuck in. Weeks of endless rumination, causeless exhaustion, an unfamiliar flavor of hopelessness, an inability to access my real personality or a genuine laugh, and what felt like failing at everything - from my personal relationships to my job and everything in between. When you’re in a depressive episode, it can feel like time stands still… and you wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. Basics like showering feel next to impossible, and the distance between your bed and the front door feels miles long. And even though the fog has temporarily lifted, and I’m so gratefull to feel like me again, I know my depression will kick in again one day - maybe soon, maybe not - and that truth is hard to accept. Coming back to life after a depressive episode can feel defeating – to put it lightly. There’s the endless unanswered emails, piles of laundry, missed calls, text messages you haven't responded to, plans you’ve canceled, and friendships you haven’t tended to in weeks… or months. You feel inescapably behind on, well, everything… and the mountain of catch-up you have to climb feels steep as hell. How do you explain to people why you’ve avoided them? How do you make it up to your family members? And beyond that, how do you try to act like yourself when you don’t feel like yourself? So since I’m freshly on the other side…for now…I thought we should talk about it.

Look who’s back!!! By *very* popular demand, my sister and best friend Jessica Iovine is back on the pod and ready to call me out. Our favorite therapist (and big sister) offered some very insightful advice… while I offered some very questionable advice… while Catherine played referee. We sat in the shit together and compared notes on everything that’s been going ~not great~ recently… We talked *argued* about big sister vs. little sister struggles. I got some advice about a recent drunk reconciliation, we shared our passionate beliefs about gift-opening etiquette, and we discussed the parts of our childhood we’re still working through in therapy. Fear not, Jess promised she’ll be back to record with us a lot more this season, so get ready for many more sister secrets in the near future!

This week I dumped all of my friendship drama into the TMAI group chat. It seems like maintaining friendships is harder than ever, so I called for an emergency meeting to discuss the main quandaries plaguing our fragile, modern relationships… Catherine and I dissect friendship love languages and talk about the question everyone seems to be asking: “is my friend mad at me or is it just a long-distance friendship?” Have you ever wondered: What do I do if I HATE my friend’s significant other? How do I tell an acquaintance that I don't want to take the next step and become friends? How do I know if the roles are reversed - and an acquaintance doesn’t want to be friends with me? What do I do if my best friend's crisis is starting to take up too much of my life? What if I’m jealous of my friend's relationship with another friend? We also discuss the art of shit-talking, and dealing with friends who are “lumpers”. Oh! And I buried the lead! This episode starts with my mom’s legendary “Bed Recipe” and what exactly you need to create the comfiest bed of all time.

Yes, I know, I’ve said it about other episodes in the past, sure, but I really mean it when I say this is one of my favorite episodes in Live From Bed history. Catherine and I reaaaallllyyy went there. We talked about the politics of friendship when it comes to staying friends with someone your best friend hates. And what about when your best friend maintains a friendship with someone who betrayed you? We discussed the fragile ties that bind us to those precious few for whom we choose to press the “follow back” button. I provided three scenarios and asked Catherine my favorite question: “would you follow them back?” We got deep into the weeds of cheating by identifying the five types of cheaters, as well as the five ways people cheat. We shared our own experiences and the (shock and awe at) our differing opinions on traditional sayings like, ‘once a cheater always a cheater’ or ‘how you get ‘em is how you lose ‘em’. We’re dying to hear which one of us you agree with ;). And in a future part two of this episode, we’ll share our cheating stories as well as *yours* - so if you have a juicy one, DM me and you might hear it on the show…anonymously, of course, because snitches get stitches.

Question for you: How do you react when you hear your significant other is going to a strip club? Is it harmless fun or something more? Do you feel you have a full understanding of what goes on at a strip club? Or even what the rules are if they choose to pay for a private room? Where do you draw the line? It’s a debate that has been happening for years and yet, we as the females of the world seem to be more divided on this topic than ever… I tell Catherine about the medium from hell, and we get deeeeeep into the scandal that has taken over all Bravo fans’ brains for the past two weeks…SCANDOVAL… And as a wise woman once said, ‘YOU KNOW THAT IT’S OUR TIME, THESE ARE THE BEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES….’ For more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/ Produced by Catherine Law Edited and Engineered by Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

I am officially in my introvert recoup era. After what feels like a month of talking to people nonstop, I’ve decided I only want to talk to you guys for the foreseeable future. AND YOUR GIRL HAS THINGS TO SAY. In this episode, I vented to Catherine about oh-so-many things. We gave advice and shared our missteps when trying to leave a conversation that has expired. We dissected my belief of what a good first date looks like and which common dating experience would be my personal version of hell. We compared notes on the statute of limitations for late birthday presents, unlocked the truth behind “good sides”, and examined my crippling fear of the dark. ALSO: this message goes out to my VPR fans and VPR fans only…we recorded this episode BEFORE the Scandoval so just know next week I will go IN on all my thoughts and feelings regarding the news that shook me to my core!!!

At long last, I’m back from my wedding weekend and honeymoon and I missed you guys palpably. Trust me, we’ll do a whole episode on alllll the details and drama of the wedding for those who want it but, in the meantime, Catherine and I couldn't resist and decided to give you guys the spark notes version in this episode. Plus: plenty of non-wedding-related stuff that’s been on my mind… We discussed the unexpected meltdown I had before the big day, things that really bug me about talking to people, the phonetic alphabet, and much much much more. We’re back and better than ever and I’M SO HAPPY to vent to you guys again.

Since I’m on my mini-moon and OOO, I thought we’d revisit my and Dylan’s first episode together and what was *hopefully* the least-cringey engagement announcement we could give you. I can’t wait to be back next week and tell you guys EVERYTHING about this past week!! Xo Jade * 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 about details of every story, and you’ll get a very telling sneak peek into our relationship along the way. And, before you all yell at me, I know I have a “talking-over-Dylan” problem. I’m working on it very hard in therapy, I swear..

My wedding was this past weekend but, last week, BEFORE I got married Catherine and I recorded this episode to EXCLUSIVELY discuss wedding disasters and planning horror stories. Most people think weddings are all aspirational and romantic. We see perfect families, the perfect dress, the best day of people’s lives, and what we see on Pinterest BUT if you’ve ever planned a wedding, you know the truth (and the tears) that go on behind the scenes of this magical day… Recently I complained to you guys about how the seating chart nearly made me call off my wedding and my DMs exploded. People related to my pain, big time and were almost too excited to share their worst wedding planning and day-of moments. To be honest, my heart sang because it was so relieving to know that other people agreed with me: behind the scenes, weddings aren't necessarily all sunshine and rainbows. SO because many of you were eager to share your humbling, annoying, painful, disastrous, wedding truths I thought I'd dedicate an entire episode to the dark side of weddings hoping that we could make each other feel better and commiserate–especially when we’ve yelled at a undeserving (or very deserving!!) family member, developed a stress-rash and are ready to cancel the whole thing and elope somewhere no one can ever find us.

We all know Heather Gay as our blunt, relatable best friend (with a mysterious black eye *eye roll*) on "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" and as the founder of Beauty Lab & Laser (with the legendary parking lot). But some of her actual friends, family and community see her as nothing but a “Bad Mormon”. If you watch Real Housewives of Salt Lake City you know that most of Heather’s storyline for her past three seasons on the show has revolved around her experience untangling herself and beliefs from that of the Mormon Church and exposing the brutal repercussions her vocalness about her departure has had on both her personal life and relationships. Heather was born into Mormonism and has spent most of her life wrestling with a gnawing feeling that she “didn’t fit” the mold of a “good” Mormon woman. In more recent years, while simultaneously accepting a starring role on Bravo’s hit show RHOSLC, Heather has officially filed to withdraw from the church, start her life anew, and…WRITE A BOOK detailing the secrets, darkness. With writing that is vulnerable, witty, and painfully truthful Heather details her innermost thoughts and internal tug-of-war between duty to self and duty to God. Exposing secrets she once held sacred, “Bad Mormon” is an unfiltered look at the religion that broke her heart.

*TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL ABUSE* This week Cheryl Burke joined us and we both did what we do best: we overshared. Cheryl and I discussed the whirlwind that has been the last few years of her life. Between leaving Dancing With The Stars, the show she was on for 26 seasons (!!), and navigating a public divorce, fighting her ex for custody of their dog, getting sober, maintaining her sobriety, and launching a brand new YouTube show called “Diving Deep”–Cheryl has conquered it all with grace and most importantly…with newfound peace. Cheryl bravely walked us through her “rock bottom” and the traumas of her childhood including suffering sexual abuse from a man her parents had hired to babysit her.

We’re cooking up something different for you guys this week on TMAI. This week I decided to let my wedding-stressed brain fly free and give you one of the most random episodes this show has ever seen. I’ve been collecting some of the greatest (and, arguably, weirdest) questions to ask people you're getting to know, meeting for the first time, or have known forever. Valentine's Day is coming up, maybe you have a couple first dates on the horizon, maybe your New Year's resolution was to make more friends and you’re looking for some ice-breakers to have on hand in case there’s one too many awkward silences? If any of these things apply to you…LOOK NO FURTHER my fellow socially anxious friends, I have a solution! We also talk about emotional metabolisms, the best documentaries I’ve ever seen, and why I suck at starting new things.

Catherine and I are back (in bed) and ready to commiserate like the good lord intended! Over the holidays I made a list of everything I wanted to vent to you guys about and we almost couldn’t fit it all in one episode. The juice is loose, the tea is spilled, and Catherine and I covered everything from what’s definitely “out” in 2023 how to deal with cheating rumors, going through people’s phones, friendship disappointment, and SO SO much more. I’m so excited for you to hear this one, it’s filled to the brim with the most brutal kind of honesty, the kind I know only you guys will understand….

She’s a mogul, a model and best of all she’s a mom. If you get that reference from Kimora: Life in The Fab Lane, then we can be best friends because that show was, and is, everything to me. Kimora, whether she likes it or not, is made for reality TV. And as a Housewives fanatic, I had to beg her one last time to see if there is any chance she would ever agree to be on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills… and on this episode, we’ll finally get an answer. We talked about female friendships and romantic relationships, and Kimora gives us alllllll the lessons that she, as she put it, had to learn “the hard way”. We discussed the concept of emasculating a partner, shrinking behind the power and control of someone you love, knowing when enough is enough, and how to maintain your independence by any and all means necessary. As most of us know, Kimora gives it to you straight, no chaser - and she brought that same iconically blunt energy into our conversation. In this episode she gives us the pump-up pep talk of our dreams, and explains how she took her childhood growing up with a single mom, where she felt inherently “different”, and spun it into becoming the strong, unshakable force of nature we see when we look at Kimora today.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to our last episode until 2023!!! I invited Catherine to shoot the sh*t with me one last time before this year ends and well, we came ready and rageful. We talked about our experiences confronting friends, family, and even strangers, betraying ourselves, nostalgia about the way our holidays used to be, how an argument I had made me feel weird for a week straight, why having an avoidant attachment style impacts all our relationships, and my theory about responding to text messages. I’ll miss you but fear not, we’ll be reunited and back with brand spankin’ new episodes on January 10th! Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

This title really speaks to my vibe this month, hanging on for dear life through the holiday season, just doin’ my damn best… BUT I’m so insanely excited for you guys to hear today’s episode with country pop sensation Kelsea Ballerini! She’s my people-pleasing, perfectionist, anxious 29-year-old soul-sister who struggles in ways I know we can all relate to. We had an incredibly honest and real conversation, so much so that I think we both forgot we were recording a podcast for thousands of people to hear. We talked about her whirlwind of a year, releasing a chart-topping album (go listen to it, it's amazing…) and announcing her divorce shortly thereafter. She confessed how she’s really feeling these days and how she’s navigating this transition in real time. She is a hero for being so open and I know her honesty about this tricky topic is going to set so many other women free of the shame and stigma of divorce at 29 or at any age, quite frankly. We analyzed our chronic people pleasing, female friendships and how her friendships with other famous people have changed in recent years. We talked about the absolute worst moment she’s had online, the various types of hate she gets today, and of course why being an empath can royally suck sometimes. Kelsea is giving a voice to people who have to make this objectively hard decision to choose themselves at an age when we’re conditioned to believe we should have it “all figured out”–I’m forever grateful to her and I loved every second of our conversation.

I don’t know how we got here so quickly, but it’s officially December, and we’re knee-deep in the holidays. While the holidays are a time for celebrating and festive feelings, for most, it’s impossible to think of the holidays without missing someone. This time of year can remind us of people who aren’t in our lives any more and those who have passed away and it can be daunting to try to balance Christmas cheer with the emotions that accompany crippling grief. SO, I thought this was the perfect time for us to talk to grief advocate Marisa Renee Lee. But let me preface this by saying...This episode is definitely not just for someone who’s in the midst of their own grief, it's JUST as much for those of us who love someone going through it. We always want so desperately to say or do the right thing by them, but it’s easy to feel that anything we might say or do falls short. And in this episode, Marisa gives us concrete advice on how to comfort a friend, as well as what not to do. Marisa Renee Lee is a called-upon grief advocate, entrepreneur, and bestselling author of "Grief is Love: Living with Loss." If you ask me, I think this book should be read by absolutely everyone. Dubbed "the friend we all wish we had in times of need", Marisa uses research-based wisdom to help us navigate the complicated and dark emotions we face when experiencing loss. In addition to her work in the grief space, Lee is a former appointee in the Obama White House and CEO of Beacon Advisors, a mission-driven consulting firm primarily focused on racial equity, former managing director of My Brother's Keeper Alliance; co-founder of the digital platform Supportal; and founder of The Pink Agenda, a national organization dedicated to raising money for breast cancer care, research, and awareness. In this episode Marisa explains: What different flavors of grief actually feel like How to support a grieving friend and, most importantly, what NOT to say/do… Anticipatory grief Why you should continue the relationship with a person who has passed - how to do it The differences between grieving someone who died unexpectedly/suddenly and someone dying from a long illness Check out Marisa’s book here.

This episode is a little different than what we’re usually cooking up over here on TMAI. As some of you know I had my bachelorette party recently and because I, myself, remember a solid 20% of it, I thought I’d have a more reliable narrator (Catherine) swoop in and help me spill all the juicy details of that wild, wild night. From celebrity guests to penis cakes, this episode has it all (wrapped up in a minisode package)! Can’t wait to get back to our regularly scheduled programming next week, but I miss you extra during the holidays, so I wanted to pop in and tell you alllll about it.

Buckle up for a willlllld ride. My gorgeous, gorgeous producer Catherine and I were on one this week, and we talked about it ALL. From dissecting an unhinged email from my mom, to some behind-the-scenes moments from the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, and our new lazy approach to sex. We felt like laughing this week, so I hope you do too because this episode is filled with… probably TOO MUCH honesty, quite frankly.

This week I got to sit down with everyone’s favorite pop-culture expert, podcast host, and author: KATE KENNEDY!! Kate is known for her deep dives about things like American Girl Dolls, Gilmore Girls, Britney Spears and Abercombie and Fitch, but in our conversation we dove deep into the shi**y things that are keeping us 20- and 30-somethings up at night… It seems like my friends and I are all in VERY different places in life, and sure, we’re all happy for each other. But is it getting harder to relate to the people we once called our pajama friends? Career shifts: the unedited version. We hear all the time about glorified professional pivots, but Kate gave us her unfiltered truth about the identity crisis and financial terror of starting over in your twenties and thirties. What if you realize the career you’ve been working toward for the past eight years is no longer your dream? What if you left a secure desk job for your side hustle, but as fate would have it, you don’t like where you’re headed? Kate has been there, and gives us the best advice I’ve ever heard regarding this terrifying crossroad. And of course, the mysterious, often confusing world of fertility and baby-making. Kate joined us a few days after her egg retrieval, and we had real time conversation about what it was actually like. Over the past few years, Kate went from not being sure if she even wanted kids, to getting pregnant, having a miscarriage, an unwanted but medically necessary “abortion”, two rounds of egg/embryo freezing, and some very hard conversations. Unlike most of the conversations surrounding fertility, I promise this one won’t scare you. Instead you’ll leave inspired and empowered by her very real story, and the revolutionary way she looks at our reproductive options.

Ram Dass once said “if you think you’re enlightened, spend a week with your family” and quite frankly, truer words have never been spoken. No matter how much you like or dislike your relatives, NOTHING can test your sanity and strength quite like spending time with them. We’re approaching the holidays (hallelujah…) which means a lottttt of family time is coming our way and we’re the first to admit that no amount of self-work can prepare us. Fights, breakdowns, slamming doors and emergency therapy sessions might be as synonymous with this season as twinkly lights and turkey…BUT NOT THIS YEAR. Catherine and I sat down to discuss the tips and tricks we’ve learned to survive our families. We talk about the trickiness of our immediate family relationships, modern family 101, and run-ins with in-laws, as well as commiserate that despite how certain we are that we can keep our wits about us, our family has the unique super power to turn us back into our angsty 13-year-old selves.

Disclaimer: you don’t have to know or like anything about basketball to enjoy this interview ;) Jeanie Buss is the controlling owner and president of the LA Lakers - and quite frankly, the road she took to get there could be a season of ‘Succession’. As the owner and president of the Lakers, she’s one of the most powerful people in professional sports — and the true story of the Lakers is her origin story as well. Her father, Jerry Buss, was the majority owner of the Lakers from when he bought the team in 1979 until he died in 2013. His 66% controlling ownership was eventually distributed amongst his six children through a trust, with each of them being granted an equal vote, and installing Jeanie as the Lakers’ governor and the team representative at NBA Board of Governors meetings. Per her father’s succession plan, Jeanie was chosen to take over as president and controlling owner and later became the first female controlling owner to guide her team to an NBA championship.[4] We spoke about the ways Jeanie has steadfastly paved the way for herself in a male-dominated industry, specifically how she unapologetically embraced her femininity by doing things like posing in Playboy the same year as becoming president of The Forum…*chefs kiss*. She shot her pictorial in the stadium the Lakers played - where her father worked – and well, I just live for that kind of ballsiness. We talked about her relationship with the former head coach of the Lakers, Phil Jackson, as well as their breakup, her decision not to have children, about the last memory she has of Kobe Bryant and how that tremendous loss impacted her. She opened up about the parts of her childhood she had to heal from, the surprise of gaining a full-blood sibling she didn’t know existed until a couple years ago, and the impossible aspects of working for the family business. Needless to say, working so intimately with your family leaves room for conflicts, and the Buss family has definitely had their fair share. Many of you are probably familiar with a specific conflict between Jeanie and her brother Jim that resulted in her firing him, because, in short, she was worried he'd make trades the Lakers couldn't recover from. In response Jeanie’s older brothers sued her and mounted a campaign to remove Jeanie from her position. We talked about making that decision and where she and her brother stand today.

Fun fact: I grew up next door (like actually next door) to the Playboy Mansion. So, to me, the girls next door really were the Girls Next Door. It added another layer to my already colorful childhood, with parties and peacocks that kept me up for all hours of the night. Then, one incredible day in 2005 E! Released a brand new show called…THE GIRLS NEXT DOOR, and the lives of every millennial girl changed forever. If you lived under a rock and have never seen this show (stop what you’re doing and go watch immediately), The Girls Next Door was a reality show about The Playboy Mansion, Hugh Hefner and his three girlfriends Holly, Bridget and Kendra. These dynamic women quickly became the stars of the show, and captured the hearts of families and young women nationwide. The show gave us a look inside the wild lifestyle of three very different women with one common interest: their boyfriend. It showed their extravagant costumes, the parties they’d host, vacations and day trips all over the world, their butlers, lavish lifestyle, and many, many dogs. But, as with most things, their lives weren’t quite what they seemed. In addition to all the fun and playfulness the show captured, there was jealousy, manipulation, body issues, infighting, and a dark side to the boyfriend they were basically employed by. And damn, did we GO THERE… Holly and Bridget joined me on this week’s episode, and were so honest and real about the years they lived at the mansion, dated Hef, and starred in (in my opinion !!!) one of the best reality shows of all time. Not only did we reminisce on the years we spent as neighbors, but they let me in on the secrets of the mansion, Hef’s world, the parts they’d rather forget, and everrrrryyything in between. We explored Holly’s neurodivergence, some of the sexual aspects of the girls’ relationships with Hef, how they feel about his death, and how it impacts the way they think about him now. They told me all about the drama inside the mansion, the excuses they’d use to get out of going out or sex, diet culture within the house, the rules they were expected to follow, and answered ALL our burning, behind-the-scenes questions we’ve spent the last decade dying to know. Don’t quote me on this, but this might be one of the juiciest TMAI episodes of all time. Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

*Trigger Warning* This episode contains extensive conversation about sexual abuse. After two long weeks we (you and I) are finally back together, and I’m not going to spoil it, but we have an unnnnnreeeallll season coming your way… Our guest this week is Jeannie Mai Jenkins, who you probably recognize from her eight seasons on The Real, Dancing with the Stars, or her new show Holey Moley! This episode is extremely special because of how honest Jeannie was, and I know there is so much shared healing that will happen as a result of her openness. To give you a little background: when Jeannie was nine years old, a family member that would frequently babysit her and her siblings began to sexually abuse her. The abuse lasted for years and ultimately, when Jeannie mustered up the courage to tell her mom what this man was doing to her, her mom doubted Jeannie’s described experience. This interaction caused an eight-year-long rift between Jeannie, and her mom and they didn’t reconcile until years later. In an extremely raw and ground-breaking episode of Jeannie’s YouTube show Hello Hunnay, Jeannie invited her mom on the show to discuss, for what would be her first time in front of a camera, what had happened between them. The healing that happened in that episode was nothing short of inspiring, and something that I think all mothers and daughters should watch. Jeannie and I talked about breaking traumatic chains and how to avoid passing your traumatic past on to a new generation. We discussed the difficult and complex task of healing mother daughter relationships, with or without going to therapy, how to know if you’re people-pleasing and how to stop it, depression and anxiety both pre- and post-partum, and the truth about how her traumatic childhood memories still affect her today. Jeannie is remarkable, and I swear I had chills during this entire interview so, as always, let me know what you think and how you relate to what we talked about!

After many requests from you guys. I finally convinced Dylan, my fiancé, my forever roommate, the old ball & chain, to return for a second episode!! We talked about our biggest fears, what counts as cheating, how to deal with your significant other’s mental illness, and how we met. There is so much oversharing to be enjoyed in this episode, as well as some major TMI insight into our relationship… After this episode we’ll be taking a two week break to cook up some incredible new episodes for you!

I’ve been dying to talk to you guys about something… In this episode, we talk about “Reparenting”: a concept I’ve been steadily working on for a few years now. And, not to be dramatic, but it saved my life. We talk about getting in touch with our inner child, what the process of reparenting actually looks like, and concrete ways for you to try it yourself. Here are a couple questions to ask yourself: - Do you feel like you’re a victim of the childhood you had, and what it lacked? - Are you self-critical and overly harsh with yourself? - Are you too permissive with yourself – do you have trouble setting limits, or consistently allow yourself to do things that are unhealthy or unsafe? - Do you ignore your feelings, have trouble expressing your needs, or regulating your emotions? - Do you find it hard to treat yourself with love and compassion? We also talked about why we should avoid putting people on pedestals, and why seeing someone else post that they “have such an exciting announcement coming up…” is up there with the worst feelings ever.

Life update: My brother just got married!!! I ugly cried my way through his wedding weekend and it was truly one of the most special weekends of my life. SO, I thought this week we’d stick with the wedding theme, and listen back to one of my all-time favorite episodes with none other than icon, legend, and crop-top queen GWEN STEFANI. We recorded this episode last summer, a week after Gwen married Blake Shelton - and we were the first people she talked to after the wedding. I’ve known Gwen my entire life, and seeing her so happy and getting to capture her elation after such a huge occasion was incredible. This episode is responsible for putting TMAI on the map and we’ve come far since then! Not to be emo but…If you’ve been listening to this show since the Gwen episode, thank you! I’ll never be able to express my gratitude or love, you’re my favorite. PS We’ll be back with a brand new episode next week!

What’s worse: feeling shitty when everything in your life is going badly, or feeling shitty when nothing is seemingly wrong but you’re still unhappy? Or when you’re “supposed to be happy”... but aren’t! This week we dove head first into all the reasons I’m Sick and Tired: Hot weather and sweating through my depression: Why tank tops and depression don’t mix. Long Distance Friendships: feeling like I have too many friends, and no friends, all at the same time. And why these hour-long catch ups with my friends might be the death of me. Hiding my period from full grown men (and children). Are we seriously still doing this? Using birth control: What kind of birth control method are we all actually using? Condoms? The pill? Spray and Pray? We also talked about saying goodbye to the women we’ll never be, and how to start hating yourself for who you actually are instead.

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 and our physical body, rather than feeling like we have to be obsessed with the way we look 100% of the time. I knew after watching a few of Gabi’s videos, I had to have her on the show to commiserate about the days we just hate ourselves–to put it bluntly–and how to navigate our often-tumultuous relationship with our body, brain, and being. Gabi Gregg AKA @gabifresh, to her almost-a-million Instagram followers is a creative director, writer, former blogger, designer, and the self-titled ‘OG Fat Girl’. Not only has she been posting her glam outfits for over a decade, she’s also, interestingly, one of the very first influencers to ever get into the brand collaboration space. From designing revolutionary swimsuits to creating stylish and highly-coveted plus-size clothing collections, there are very few things Gabi hasn’t done. Gabi and I talked about the moments from our childhood when we first became aware of our body’s supposed shortcomings, and why we still remember those comments so sharply. I asked her if she feels Facetune and body neutrality are mutually exclusive, and how to confront people in your life, from your mom to your neighbor, that still insist on commenting on your body. We talked about feeling jealous when your friend loses weight, dating and being fetishized, reclaiming words like fat, and feeling like rejections are all rooted in people’s judgment of your body. Gabi shared her experience with both chronic illness and mental illness, how those impact her physical health, and why some people feel very strongly about her weight.

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 shitty experience, when we lost our virginities/what it’s meant for our sex lives as adults, and dove into Jade’s latest obsession: the enneagram.

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 her job and ending a relationship, Victoria moved to New York City in the middle of the pandemic and started her TikTok account to promote her Depop store, but found her passion in making videos. With content dedicated to fashion, fitness, and NYC lifestyle simultaneously, her dedicated fan base (dubbed “The Victorians”), look to her every move as she displays her intimate connections - including coming out as bisexual. She posts dozens of times a day, drawing viewers in with her stream-of-consciousness relatability, vlog-like filming style, and “cool girl” factor. A minor note: Victoria is in the process of moving to LA, (a great decision…), so for her privacy, her neighborhood will be bleeped out in our conversation.

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” and how our body talk has actually changed this summer. Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

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 Folder’ and how to use it. A couple quotes I love and live by. What bras we’re wearing (and have been for the past ten years…). And we discuss “friendship-freeloaders” and whether we should dump ‘em or keep ‘em.

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 friends, and sex sex sex and more sex. Rayna, Ashley and I talked about orgasms, masturbation habits, and how their sex lives have evolved since their twenties.

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 this so I hope you have fun hanging with us. After this episode we’re taking a two week season break and we’ll be back on July 12th with a brand spankin’ new season! Love you guys.
