You guys, manifestation works, and I can prove it...my guest today is JAY SHETTY!  I love all my guests but Jay has been someone I visualized having on the pod even before I recorded my first episode.  We talk through love, dating, meditating, and even get into Jay's "guilty pleasures".

I am giving you a mixed bag today a bit of the low brow, and a bit of the high brow.  I first get you all caught up with my thoughts on the first two episodes of this seasons "Summer House", then discuss a great article I just read.  "Should Our Partner Really Be Our Best Friend?" by Catherine Pearson is the main topic for today.   Link to article: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/well/family/husband-wife-best-friend.html

I start off the show discussing friendships in the "splinter era" and apparently that struck a chord in everyone listening out there, as you called in with your takes on friendship dynamics through the years.  Advice is doled out to someone whose boyfriend threw up in her bed, and then proceeded to yell at her.  We need to be better, especially to ourselves, and that starts with choosing the right partner.  Finally weight loss and better self esteem are NOT mutually exclusive, as I talk to a caller who can't stop the negative self talk

Today I want to use a very recent “controversy” to help illustrate how we need to be better to one another as women.  I speak it, I preach it, I practice it…women on women crime is at an all time high, and we need to do better.
