If you’re in a long-term relationship, have you ever secretly asked yourself any of these questions? Am I as in love as I SHOULD be with my significant other? Are we having enough sex? Am I settling?  Is it wrong that I have doubts about our relationship? What if I’m ignoring red flags? What if we breakup 10 years from now? And what is the healthy amount of doubts I should have?! What is this intrusive voice in my head that second guesses my healthy commitment? Is it my gut or anxiety? Do I trust it or dismiss it? A lot of people are under the assumption that if you have concerns or doubts, or compare your relationship with other relationships you see online then your relationship is “bad” and therefore you should leave–when in reality, it might just be a natural part of any long-term relationship.  There is so much advice and relatable content for single people and dating but very little for those of us who are in long term relationships. Even in the best relationships, there are inevitable doubts or worries. But those doubts and worries can freak you out… or make you feel lonely and ashamed for having those thoughts in the first place.  BUT YOU’RE NOT ALONE. LEAVE IT TO TIKTOK TO UNCOVER A WHOLE WORLD OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO FEEL AS SH**Y AS WE DO! ;)  I was scrolling the other day and happened upon Relationship Anxiety Coach Sarah Yudkin’s viral videos.  Sarah Yudkin is a Trauma-Informed Relationship Anxiety Coach whose mission is to help women feel more confident in their relationships and normalize the ‘not so glamorous’ parts of relationships that often lead to anxiety. It’s important to note that Sarah’s advice is for people stressing about generally healthy relationships - her content does not apply to people that are being abused or mistreated. In those cases, an exit strategy is always the best option.  Trust me, you’ll relate to so much Sarah said and I can’t wait to talk to you guys about it when you finish listening… xxx To continue the conversation and for more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/  Executive Producer Nick Stumpf Produced by Catherine Law Edited and Engineered by Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

Catherine and I talked about open relationships, social media anxiety, and the magical world of mushrooms. Sit back and feel seen as we commiserate about therapist breakups, cohabitating with a significant other, PCOS, and love/hating ourselves.  Uh oh…the TMAI production team has COVID! SO, we’ll be back with a new episode next week and THIS WEEK we’re airing one of my favorite past episodes with comedian Catherine Cohen.  Cat is a comedian, a writer, a podcast host, a poet… a 21st century renaissance woman whose jaw-dropping openness about sex, drugs, and millenial quandaries has captured audiences far and wide. Cat announced last week that her Netflix special “The Twist…? She’s Gorgeous!” will premiere on March 15th–it’s going to be incredible so we all definitely have to mark it in the Google cal and watch together.  To listen to Cat’s podcast, Seek Treatment: https://tinyurl.com/2zh84nck  Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

This week’s episode couldn’t have come at a better time. My depression decided to rear its ugly head a couple weeks ago, and no matter how many times I’ve been through this, I have to admit it always scares the sh*t out of me. In this episode, you’ll hear all about my rut… and I hope all my depressed and anxious friends out there can relate… My guest this week and I talk all about OCD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, Zoloft, Adderall, and Ketamine infusions.  I’ve been dying to have an episode that largely focuses on the conversation about the meds we’re prescribed, and the stigmas & side effects involved, and I knew Katie Nehra was the girl to call.  Katie is so open about her own mental illnesses and how she has been on a journey to find the right treatments since she was five years old. She talked to me about how she navigated/managed her mental illnesses differently in each decade of her life, and what she has found most effective.  We commiserate about having to take pillzzzz every day, finding the right medication and how hard that process can be, and how we each ultimately decided to allow ourselves to get the help we needed.  Sidenote: I’ve always been so curious about the world of ketamine infusions for depression, so I was excited to learn that Katie has tried it… and pick her brain about the experience.  Katie’s an actress, designer, writer and most recently, podcast host of “Been Better…hbU?”, a podcast focused on mental health. I was on her show recently, so you can check out that episode - if you love the mental health camaraderie you get from this podcast, you’ll love Katie’s too.  Katie’s Book Rec: Unwinding Anxiety by Judson Brewer To continue the conversation and for more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/  Executive Producer Nick Stumpf Produced by Catherine Law Edited and Engineered by Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

Dylan is out of town and this week I’m hanging out with my friends…. and this week’s episode is coincidentally all about friendships. If you’re in your twenties, or thirties (or have ever been in your twenties or thirties), chances are you’ve dealt with friendship drama. Friendship breakups, toxic friendships, trying to maintain long-distance friendships — the friendship topic is one everyone’s hungry to talk about. It can feel so lonely when a friendship you’ve had since you were 3 no longer feels fun or healthy, or when you come to terms with the reality that most of your friends move away, get into relationships, or become busy with work and can no longer answer your 911 call as quickly.  This week we have Host of Nightly Pop on E! Nina Parker on the show and we got into the good stuff.  As I said we talked A LOT about our friendships and how to navigate the aforementioned shittiness. We talked about moving to a new city and feeling lonely, the deliciousness of canceling plans, and how to know if your job is the root of your unhappiness.  Aside from her work as a co-host on E!, Nina created the first Black- woman-owned brand to design a plus-size line exclusively for Macy's, The Nina Parker Collection. Parker has made numerous television appearances as a pop culture expert on popular shows like Wendy Williams and The Talk, and as an occasional host for Access Live on NBC.  To continue the conversation and for more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/  Executive Producer Nick Stumpf Produced by Catherine Law Edited and Engineered by Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

Well this is probably the weirdest description I’ve ever had to write. Releasing this episode was just as hard as you can imagine. I went back and forth several times, and even now, I have a lump in my throat and am wrestling with the reality of letting everyone in on this super-intimate experience.  But what’s harder is imagining another woman having to go through this, someone who can’t find a similar story to reference. This is for you. It’s just my story. I spared no details, we left things raw. It’s my hope that someone else out there will see themselves in my story… or won’t, that’s great too. It’s here for anyone who needs it. You can take from it what you will but my goal is simple: I want to tell my truth so it’ll reach someone else out there when she needs it most.  There are plenty of stories out there–not enough in my opinion–but this is just one person’s (my) experience. I’m white, privileged, educated, and I still found my experience hellish. I won’t get into politics, but right now all of us, those of us who have ever needed - or will ever need - an abortion, are being threatened. I ask that you believe me when I tell you there is absolutely no reason to make this decision or experience any harder.  Thank you for listening, and thank you so much to those of you who have already reached out and continue to DM me with your own story. I said it in this episode and I’ll say it again. It truly never gets old to hear another woman has “been there”. Whether it’s the first time you hear that or the hundredth, there’s nothing like the relief you feel from hearing someone else has felt what you felt–thank you for making me brave enough to share this.

TV personality and influencer Morgan Stewart McGraw joins the show. They discuss overthinking, friendships, heartbreaks, therapy, childhoods, and mean-girl-moms. They also touch on reality TV experiences, female friendships, struggles with comparison, and personal growth.

Today we have a dynamic duo on the show.  One half of that duo is a woman who was a HUGE part of most of our childhoods – a peer we grew up watching on TV– Raven Symoné, aka Raven Baxter of That’s So Raven, aka Olivia on The Cosby Show! The other half of this couple is Miranda Pearman-Maday, a doula (we love a doula around here) who stars alongside her wife Raven in their new Youtube series 8pm! 8pm gives you a sneak peek into their lives, and each episode is different - from conversations about mental health issues and relationships to cooking fried chicken. Flash back a few (many) years: when I was 10, I got to go to a That’s So Raven taping, and my god, it was the best day of my life… but for Raven, growing up in front of the world is not the dream everyone thinks it is. Being told what to do, who you are supposed to be, what you’re supposed to look like, who you’re supposed to love – it takes strength and courage to break out of the bubble you’re put in and finally put your happiness above all else. Miranda and Raven are a great example of how far your willingness to look inward and evolve can get you.  We covered A LOT in this interview. The two of them are extremely honest about the trials and tribulations of their marriage, and the work they do both together and separately to make the relationship and their lives together thrive. We talked about friendship breakups, why some people choose to ghost, and how each of us feel about the friendship breakups in our own lives. We talked about trauma, body stuff, childhoods, mental illness, and more!

Let’s be real, the universe has been kicking all of our asses over the past two years.  Between brutal mercury retrogrades, Saturn returns, and full moons I’ve been asked more than ever about astrology.  I’m a Sagittarius with a Capricorn moon and Cancer rising (woop woop). I love astrology and growing up in LA astrology was just as common recess conversation as what your mom packed you for lunch. BUT astrology is definitely having a moment right now. Recently a friend of mine called me asking if I could explain her chart to her. Quite frankly, I barely understand my own so of course I told her to hang up the phone and download the CHANI APP immediately. WHICH I think you all should open now before this episode. Before you start listening, grab your birth certificate, find out what time you were born, and download Chani’s app. Oh! And definitely get a paper and pen or your notes app out in case you want to write any of it down.  Chani broke down astrology in a way I’d absolutely never heard before. It was simple and direct, two adjectives very rarely associated with astrology. Oh and I promise, I didn’t have her read my chart on this episode…I'm not that self-indulgent.  She tells us what our rising sign really means, what our moon tells us about ourselves, what to do when mercury retrograde(s?), where to look in your chart to find out about relationships and even divorce, how to unlock your purpose, and you know we had to get into my favorite topic which is the infamous Saturn Return. So many of us are in our Saturn Return right now but don’t fully understand what it means. Trust me you’ll become an astrology expert after 50 minutes of listening to this episode and I'm so grateful we have the legend herself CHANI NICHOLAS to teach us! https://chaninicholas.com/chani-app/ For more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/  Executive Producer Nick Stumpf Produced by Catherine Law Edited and Engineered by Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

After five long weeks, we are *finally* back! I was so hesitant to take this break, but we’ve been recording like crazy and with the holidays, I'm surprised to admit: it flew by. BUT I am so happy to be back, truly I’m lost without you guys, so happy new year and let’s get back to business.   I turned a year older since we last spoke and I have a million other updates but I’ll save that for a solo episode when we can really get into it… I’ve been looking forward to this episode for months. We recorded this episode on November 29th, and today is the day we get to finally release the Amanda Knox episode.  The morning of our interview Amanda woke up to her name splashed all over the headlines…again. And in this interview you’ll hear her immediate thoughts about having to relive the nightmare, yet again.  What you’ll hear in this interview is a woman who has been inarguably traumatized and is steadfastly, impressively and bravely trying to create a life for herself after spending the majority of her twenties tossed around by this nightmarish trial, or in an Italian prison. Her name and reputation were dragged through the mud, in her early 20s, before she fully knew who she was. Whether it’s a rumor going around about you within a small friend group or a complete media attack on your character, what I want you to take away from this interview is how universal these feelings are. Pain is subjective. Your situation might not be like Amanda's, but I want you to really hear the woman behind the headlines: a mother, trying desperately to start over. And I’m certain there is a part of her story that will resonate with you.  For more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/  Executive Producer Nick Stumpf Produced by Catherine Law Edited and Engineered by Brandon Dickert Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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..
