This episode could NOT have come at a better time. Brilliant poet Cleo Wade joins us under the covers and she BLEW. MY. MIND.  I don’t know about you guys, but when I hear the term self-love, I roll my eyes. Not because it’s not the most valuable thing in the world, but because until I talked to Cleo, it felt like a battle we either win or lose… and it always felt hard to grasp.  Cleo and I talk about wrestling with change and romanticizing or hating the person we used to be. We also dive into how hard it is to love yourself when you don’t feel like yourself and how to stop waiting for permission.  Click to purchase a copy of Cleo’s book Remember Love  Wanna hang out more?

This week, get comfy… because I am sick and tired of all these people telling me what to do! We are LIVE from my highschool bed…where all my questionable life choices began. Being in here, of course, reminded me of allllll the mistakes I’ve made, and where I’d be if I hadn’t failed a million times.  It feels like everyone has it all figured out and that there are so many “right” ways to do everything… from your morning routine (ew) to your relationships. The more we scroll to find someone as imperfect as we are, the more wrong we feel. It got me wondering: what part of ‘doing it wrong’ are we all so afraid of? Then we get into what I call the ‘Friendship Awkward Phase’ that no one is talking enough about. I’m talking to all of us in our mid/late twenties and early thirties who are trying to navigate friendships that used to be so easy, and now require so much more of us. When all our friends are hurtling in different directions and turning into different people, how do we know if we’re being a bad friend, or even if it’s time to let the friendship go?  Oh! And! Come hang as I explain The fun game I play to decide if I really love someone or not…  This episode is sponsored by/brought to you by BetterHelp.

This week my huuuusband, my spouse, my beloved Dylan jumped in bed to grace us with his presence - and set the record straight on all the things I exaggerate about on this show.  Come listen as I get absolutely roasted… and immediately regret my decision to give him a microphone ;).

I don’t say this often, but this is one of my favorite LFB conversations ever. Ali Kolbert crawled in bed with us this week, and we complained about how unrequited love is the WORST, being solely attracted to unavailable people, orgasms, the myth of scissoring, and why women are sick of their boyfriends. Oh! And why neither of us can relate to Miley Cyrus’s new song Used to Be Young… spoiler: it’s tragic.  For more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/  Executive Producers Jade Iovine + Catherine Law Audio Engineer Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

Your girl just came from therapy and she is vennnnnntttinnng! This week I lament about the Shitty Summer we all seem to be having, my volatile relationship with “trying” and “hustling”, and how to tell when the judgements others make of us are valid - and when we should say “fuck the haters” (or some other lame phrase). Then there was the terrifying meltdown I had before the Taylor Swift concert, and why I’m genuinely shocked my husband still loves me.  For more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/  Executive Producers Jade Iovine + Catherine Law Audio Engineer Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

Taylor Strecker joined us in bed this week!! The podcast and radio host and ‘everyone’s best friend they’ve never met’ took us behind the scenes of her divorce, thinking she was straight when she wasn’t, and her decision to tell the world she’s on Ozempic. She spilled her initial (very hot) take on the Bethenny/Raquel (Rachel?) interview, the celebrity she says is a total asshole in person, and the juicy details about her and her wife’s baby-making journey!

This week my ADHD brain and I take you for a wiiiiild ride. From the legend of blue balls and Jade’s Introvert Recuperation Program (JIRP), to the impossible maybe-baby questions so many of us are tormented by: When should I have a baby? Do I even want kids? When will I feel ready? Is anyone ever ‘ready’? Am I too young? Am I too old? Will my life be over? How can I know what I may or may not be missing out on if I’ve never had it? Will it ruin my relationship with my partner? Blah blah blah… I also share tips on how to handle when someone you love is feeling depressed/going through a depressive episode, “Choice Moms”, and the one question not to ask when you’re invited somewhere. Buckle up baby, and welcome to the inside of my brain… For more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/  Executive Producers Jade Iovine + Catherine Law Audio Engineer Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.

This week, for the very first time on LFB I invited two of my best friends to answer some of your burning friendship questions.

The bridesmaid who has fallen off the grid The ex-best friend you’re going to run into  The childhood best friend who has a cheating boyfriend The friend that never pays you back  Friendship vs. Facetune  How to make friends in a new city (how to handle the second date…) For more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/  Executive Producers Jade Iovine + Catherine Law Audio Engineer Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.
