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.   Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

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.   LOVE U xx   Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

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.    LOVE U xx   Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

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.    Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

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.     Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

This week I got to talk to fellow asshole Morgan Absher who hosts the very popular podcast “Two Hot Takes”. Accompanied by her team of co-hosts and celebrity guests, each week Morgan delivers hot takes on some of the internet's craziest questions, relationship dramas and problems, while simultaneously tackling deeper topics including mental health, self-love, and the importance of forming healthy relationships in all areas of listeners' lives.   On her podcast she has a segment called “Am I The Asshole” where Morgan reads from the crevices of Reddit and weighs in on how morally corrupt the submitter of the story really is. I told Morgan a few stories I thought I'd take to the grave and asked her, “Am I the asshole?”.   In addition to her podcast Morgan is also an occupational therapist and sex therapist so you know the two of us reaaalllllyyyy got into the good stuff.    We talked about having a hard time making friends, what sex positions we're taking off the table in 2022, breaking generational chains and forgiving our parents, and being tested for Autism.    Trigger warning: we also talked about self-harm in this episode.   Things mentioned in this episode: Loom  Executive Producer Nick Stumpf Produced by Catherine Law Edited and Engineered by Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

Hunter McGrady is such a dreamboat. This conversation was expansive, honest, so funny… and truly nothing was off limits. We talked about the challenges and shame that can come with finding a wedding or bridesmaids dress for a curvy figure. We talked about 2020, during which Hunter not only welcomed her first child but was a time when her life came to a crashing halt with the unexpected loss of her younger brother. She shares how she straddled the most devastating and crippling grief with the excitement and joy of her new baby boy.    Hunter and I both come from blended, modern families and we talked about both having a stepmom and BEING one, as Hunter became a stepmom in her early twenties. We even covered finding gray hair, death doulas, and what bitches girls are in high school (and how much we still blame the moms who bred that horrible species of female).   Growing up in Los Angeles as an aspiring model, Hunter McGrady is breaking down cultural beauty barriers as the first plus size woman to appear on the cover of The Knot. She's the curviest model to appear in ‘Sports Illustrated' and was named their 2018 rookie of the year. Hunter was one of the first curve models to walk NYFW runways in September 2017, and has worked with top brands such as Olay, Revlon, Nordstrom, and Lane Bryant. Hunter is a dedicated advocate for body positivity and mental health, and works closely with the JED foundation for suicide prevention.   Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

This week Catherine and I got INTO it. We laughed, we cried, and we talked about the do's and don'ts of the most recent source of friendship-breakups: Venmo. How long can/should you wait to Venmo someone? What exactly IS that soul-crushing feeling of getting an unexpected Venmo request. Are you allowed to decline a Venmo request if you feel it was unwarranted? THESE are the things that are keeping me up at night!   I confessed to Catherine the ways in which I'm a bad friend who WON'T pick you up from the airport. We discussed how Playboy played a prominent role in my childhood, and what it actually takes to break off an engagement.    This episode is a good one, Catherine's “favorite solo ep so far”. So listen in and let me know if it's your favorite too!   Love you guys.     Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!
