Lindsay Goldwert is a writer and podcaster and she's this week's guest because we're going to talk about money. We're going to talk about dominatrixes, quarantine habits, and bike shorts too, but mostly we're going to talk about money. Lindsay is answering audience questions that came in via the Facebook group, and we're basically just going to spend an hour and fifteen minutes becoming new friends during a scary time. Get in here.

Kara Loewentheil of Unf*ck Your Brain is back on the podcast because quite frankly, your host misses her. Kara is a Master Certified Coach with a B.A. from Yale and J.D. from Harvard Law. In the last three years after pivoting from a legal career, she has grown her life coaching business from 0 to 7 figures. She's the host of the top-rated self-help podcast Unf*ck Your Brain, and she has been featured in  Marie Claire, Mind Body Green, MSN.com, and The Huffington Post. She joins the podcast today to discuss what venting actually is, and what it does (and doesn't do) for us. She's also discussing how to process relationships ending without adopting the thought process that makes you feel like you'll be alone forever. Because you won't be.

This is an excellent listen for anyone currently unhappy in their work, or who's noticed a pattern of dissatisfaction throughout their careers.

Kimmy Foskett and Liza Renzulli are the hosts of 51 First Dates and also just two human beings your podcast host enjoys hanging out with. We'll of course use the term "hanging out" loosely because...pandemic. Through the magic of technology and Liza helping your host record three people at the same time, this week's episode covers a lot of quarantined ground. If you're feeling isolated, frustrated, or it's just too quiet in the house, press play and hang out with us. Let's be concerned, freaked out, mildly productive, and somehow optimistic together.

Jess Wilkins is a friend of the podcast. She's also a friend of your host that's been keeping her company from afar during a global pandemic. Never more than a "hey friend" text away, Jess joins the podcast as its first-ever recurring guest to discuss topics that have been coming up for us during this socially distant time. We dive deep into quarantine beauty, self care, street harassment, and underpants. There's a lot happening, get in here. 

Post-recording update from Jess re: Static Nails: "Nail review: Press on nails are great for now but they will never be as perfect a fit as professionally done acrylics. There are nail sites that allow you to measure your nail bed and get more of a custom fit, but as kind of a lazy bitch who is in quarantine, I shan't be doing all that mess. With that being said, Static Nails are perfectly fine if you like a more subdued nail design and length. Tres She nails were a better fit, again not perfect, but better and they have more fun tacky bitch long nails which I enjoy. So as a matter of tacky preference, I'm rocking with Tres She."

TV writer and author Gina Fattore joins the podcast this week, while we're all socially distant and craving entertainment, to discuss her new book, The Spinster Diaries. We'll also get into Dawson's Creek, but you'll have to listen to find out why. In this episode we'll discuss societal structures around single adulthood, eighteenth-century novelist Frances Burney, and how television actually gets made. We'll also discuss who our society choses to tell stories about, and why. This is a great listen for single women of all ages, especially those who are fans of female-led novels, 1970s feminism, and anyone who's ever wondered why our heroes never seem to have anxiety.

Jen Gotch, founder of ban.do, mental health advocate, and champion of optimism, just wrote a book. The Upside Of Being Down was released last week. A book is a big deal, one that usually comes with a big tour, and lots of events, but then Coronavirus happened, and here we are. A longtime professional and personal inspiration to your host, this episode with Jen is a powerful reminder that truly, no matter what happens, it's important—and comforting—to find the upside.
