LIVE FROM BED with Jade Iovine

After spending millions and having her life and career nearly destroyed, Michelle shares her first-person experience escaping the world of Scientology after decades of devotion and abuse.    Listening to Michelle's story I found each turn more shocking than the last and I am sure your jaw will be on the floor, as mine was, hearing each harrowing detail.    She has survived and endured so much and I feel so strongly that this story is an important one to tell. The shame she feels, the abuse she endured, and the times she hit rock bottom will leave you in awe and will open your eyes to something that is, quite frankly, happening right now to someone else.    Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

Trigger Warning: This episode is about abortion.   As most of us recently learned, the Supreme Court is threatening to overturn Roe v. Wade.    This news is heavy and jarring and, as someone who has had an abortion, I know firsthand how triggering this very public debate can be.    I needed to get my thoughts out and vent to you guys about what this decision really means, just in case any of you feel the same. You might be curious about abortions, have had an abortion yourself, or love someone who's had (or will need) one, so this story is from me to you. When I was going through it, I couldn't find a single first-person abortion story, despite scouring the internet relentlessly for one. While all abortion experiences are different, I just need to offer my experience to anyone who wants to know that someone else has, well, been there.    I love you guys for letting me share this part of my story. Connecting with you all about this has been the greatest gift and has provided me with so much comfort – I'm forever grateful and am always here if you want to talk about it.  Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

How much sex is enough sex?    Are my s/o and I doing it often enough? What if we went on vacation and forgot to have hotel-room sex? …is that bad?    This week I sat down with my producer Catherine and spilled all the stuff I'm too embarrassed to talk to my friends and fiancé about. Like being the best friend of someone falling in love and how annoying it can be when suddenly all plans revolve around the new fling, my reasons behind swearing off red wine, our uses for the IG “close friends” list, and answer the age old question: can three people be friends without someone getting their feelings hurt?    Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

This week we called in icon, legend and neuropsychiatrist Dr. Louann Brizendine to help us understand why we do the things we do:    How a woman remembers fights that a man insists never happened Why thoughts about sex actually enter a woman's mind less often than they enter a man's  Why women use more forms of communication per day than men How a woman over fifty is more likely to initiate divorce than a man    Dr. Brizendine was among the first to explain why women think, communicate, and feel differently than men. She wrote the book The Female Brain (which was later turned into a movie starring Whitney Cummings) which absolutely changed my life and everyone's who read it. It was revolutionary and was the first time someone actually studied the fundamental ways in which women's brains and hormones are so different from men's. Her book is snarky, sassy and easy to understand but your mind will be absolutely blown.    She explained: Orgasms and Antidepressants The differences between the male and female brain and how they can cause misunderstandings or tension Our moods and our cycle and how we can and should build our life around it Why we should actually be excited for menopause…?   Yes, you read that last sentence correctly…I was shocked too. Dr.Brizendine's new book The Upgrade focuses on why post-menopausal life is actually much better than our youth. She details how to hack menopause and why it isn't the end of our life but rather the beginning…   Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

I'm convinced Laura Clery was sent from above to make sure no woman felt alone in a shitty feeling ever again. We talked for over an hour about everything from chronic people pleasing, redefining “rock bottom” with addiction, ADHD, to abusive relationships and being brutally honest with ourselves. Speaking of honesty, this episode is a refreshingly truthful and vulnerable one–you'll laugh, you might cry, but I know for sure you'll relate to something in our conversation.    Laura reminded me that no one is more scared of our truth than ourselves, and she's one of the most generous people when it comes to sharing her story. We talked about going through your significant other's phone, hiding the shitty parts of relationships, and birthing surprises that were left out of our sex-ed class. Laura shared her son's recent diagnosis of autism and how she chooses to look at it. All in all, this is a no-filter, no-bullshit episode and I can't wait for you to hear it.   Laura Clery, internet influencer and New York Times bestselling author of Idiot, is back with her new book IDIOTS: Marriage, Motherhood, Milk & Mistakes. In her first book, Idiot, Laura gave us mind-blowingly personal life stories about addiction, toxic relationships, and recovery. Here she is two kids later asking, “How did we get here?” Sex. Sex is how we got here.    Purchase IDIOTS: Marriage, Motherhood, Milk & Mistakes here.    Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

My guest this week needs absolutely no introduction. She is none other than the icon, the legend herself, PARIS HILTON.   This week, Paris and I peeled back the pink curtain and got very real about what it's actually like to be, well, Paris Hilton. I got a rapid-fire, deep dive with her of pure honesty and a level of openness we've rarely heard from her in other interviews. We talked about the abuse she experienced many years ago and how the character “Paris Hilton” actually came to be–and if we'll ever hear from her again. As we all witnessed in the early 2000's, Paris is no stranger to friendship drama, so, of course, we also had to unpack how she handled those infamous friendship breakups. I hope you love hanging with her in this heart-to-heart as much as I did. Xxx   Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

This week my producer Catherine and I had a lot to catch up on amidst brutal jet lag and PMS. I complained to her about social anxiety and how hard in-person conversations are. We talked about our biggest physical insecurities and how we handle it (or break down) when someone points them out. We dissected the versions of our past selves we wish we could forget, and how much time we waste talking shit about ourselves. And finally, we did the thing of all things and finally bridged the gap between those of us with big boobs and those of us with small boobs–I speak on behalf of the latter team while Catherine represents the former, and together we compare notes on the best and worst parts of both worlds.    Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

After two long weeks, we are back!! To kick off our NEW SEASON, TikTok sensation and Coral Gables QUEEN Tefi stopped by to commiserate with me. We talked about being depressed (duh), breaking off an engagement (hers, not mine - don’t worry Mom), and Tefi’s experience with disordered eating. We talked about being mean to others, most of the time because we’re mean to ourselves…oh and we talked about nose jobs, too! Estefanía Pessoa, AKA Tefi, is an entertainer and expert as it relates to all things pop culture. Her on-air work (as correspondent for TikTok & InStyle) and digital content creation are both captivating and infectious, all while remaining authentic to her Latina-Miami roots. Tefi’s authentic, witty personality, raw vulnerability, and wise advice have all cemented her as one of today’s most sought-after social media mavericks, boasting a combined following of 1.5M+ followers and counting. As she continues to grow, her focus transcends beyond comedy by highlighting approachable confidence, advocating mental health, and spreading kindness.

We have another spicy LIVE From Bed for you this week! Come hang while my producer Catherine and I Zoom from our beds and untangle my messy list of life events since we last spoke. We talk about Plan B, fitting my “modern family” into a “traditional family” wedding, my first ~clubbing~ experience since COVID, and some things that have been fueling my anxiety. We also talk about an inspiring run-in with Courtney Love, and debrief all about my trip to New York. I complained to Catherine about bridesmaids, PMS, being around people for too long without the necessary ugly-me-time afterward, and confessed my latest secret obsession… We’re taking a two-week season break (💔) but have no fear - we’ll be back with a brand spanking new season on March 29th! Don’t be a stranger, you can always DM me (@jadeiovine) about anything as always.  Quote at the beginning of this ep ℅ @MariAndrew  Download this episode of Tell Me About It with Jade Iovine wherever you get your podcasts!

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.
