“I Almost Let My Body Image Ruin Everything — Including My Wedding”

On this Unfiltered, an anonymous guest opens up about how body image struggles, weight gain, and health issues in her mid-to-late 20s held her back from enjoying life — and almost stopped her from celebrating her own wedding. From dreading engagement photos and dress shopping to nearly eloping, she shares the turning point that changed everything and how she finally embraced the love and celebration she deserves.

Recovering From Infidelity: Can Love Survive Betrayal?

What really happens after someone cheats—and is there ever a way back? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Monique Thompson, a licensed psychotherapist, bestselling author of the Infidelity Recovery Workbook for Couples. She reveals why “going back to the way it was” is never the goal, how to know if your discomfort is about your partner or your own unresolved past, and the science-backed number of minutes it actually takes to heal betrayal trauma (spoiler: it’s fewer than you think). Her no-nonsense, non-judgmental approach will completely change the way you think about cheating, trust, and what’s possible on the other side. Follow Dr. Monique on Instagram at @drmoniquethompson, learn more at drmoniquethompson.com, and grab her book Infidelity Recovery Workbook for Couples.

Trust Your Gut, Not Your Group Chat

On this episode of Unfiltered, Sagari takes us through her powerful transformation from a self-proclaimed serial monogamist stuck in toxic relationship patterns to someone confidently single and truly thriving. She opens up about her breakup horror stories (yes, including one during a Broadway intermission), what kept her in relationships she knew weren’t right, and how she finally healed and reconnected with herself.

What If You Don’t Want the Life Everyone Else Has?

This week, I’m joined by my run coach Victoria Sekely, DPT, for a candid conversation about living life on your own terms. We talk about the shocking way she met her husband, why she never wanted a traditional wedding, and her decision not to have kids. She shares how she navigates changing friendships as her friends become moms, finds fulfillment in other ways, and deals with people questioning her choices. We also get into letting go of grudges, protecting your peace, and the mental load of social media.

How the Jonas Brothers Were Our Matchmakers

This week on Cohosts for Life, we’re talking about how our relationship wouldn’t exist without the Jonas Brothers (seriously), and how they’ve been woven into so many of our favorite memories. We share whether we would’ve been open to dating someone with a fandom as intense as our own (JoBros & Jets), and Ilana gives her honest thoughts on Jake’s Jets obsession. Plus, a recap of a jam-packed week: Ilana hit the Jonas Brothers’ Today Show performance, we enjoyed a staycation at the gorgeous AKA Hotel in NoMad, and more.
