TW: discussion of sudden death and grief. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Katie Sullivan to talk about the sudden loss of her husband, Hudson, and what life has looked like since while parenting through grief. Katie opens up about the identity crisis that comes with losing a spouse, the strange duality of feeling joy and grief at the same time,  and the outpouring of support she received right after her loss (plus, the reality once everyone goes back to their own lives). She shares what has helped her through it all and what she'd want anyone supporting a grieving friend, or grieving themselves, to know.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• How Katie met her husband and the life they built together

• What happened the day of the accident

• The different phases of grief

• What to do for support of someone grieving instead of "let me know what you need"

• The identity crisis that comes with losing a spouse

• Learning to hold joy and grief in the same moment

• Giving yourself grace as a solo parent grieving in real time

• What she wants anyone who has lost a partner to know

  
  

10 Ways To Support Someone Who Has Lost A Spouse:

1. In the early days, focus on essentials. 

2. Make specific offers, not open-ended ones.

3. Send the text. 

4. When in doubt, ask. 

5. Fill the quiet hours.

6. If you want to help long term, find a job to “own”. 

7. Make concrete plans. 

8. Remember the kids on big days.

9. Anticipate hard days that often go unnoticed.

10. Keep showing up.

We are officially in the home stretch! In this episode, I break down my pregnancy symptoms from weeks 32-35. I get into the brutal pregnancy insomnia, my growth scan and the 3D images that had me freaking out over how much this baby already looks like my second, and the sacrum clicking that nearly sent me into another orbit. I also defend the belly-out pregnant girls, share my very unsolicited thoughts on ideal due-date timing, and admit I am nesting like an absolute psychopath.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• Why pregnancy sleep is worse than sleep with a newborn

• Having to pee constantly and feeling so uncomfortable in my body

• Belly talk: lifting it to function, excited for a squishy belly, and the relief of someone holding its weight for you

• Sacrum clicking, my chiropractic care, and why pelvic floor PT has been a game changer

• My honest opinion on due-date timing for first babies versus everyone after that

In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Gill to talk about To Be Magnetic’s science-backed approach to manifestation & the practices that have genuinely changed my life over the last two years!

Plus, how you can actually use manifestation to take aligned action and become your most authentic self.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• How To Be Magnetic works and its three pillars: expansion, unblocking, and aligned action

• The wildest things I've manifested off my vision boards since starting TBM

• What "authentic self" really means and the exercises to help find it

• Expanders explained: how to spot the specific essence you're drawn to in someone instead of copying their whole life

• Why jealousy is actually useful data and a nudge from the universe

• The difference between mini and major manifestations

In this episode, I sit down with Joe Gonzales, founder of the Brooklyn Stroll Club, for a candid conversation about fatherhood. Joe talks about his experience with new fatherhood, realizing he needed community, and how he created it for himself and other first-time dads. Joe opens up about becoming more vulnerable as a dad, why men get praised for doing the bare minimum, and what it really looks like to support your partner through pregnancy and postpartum. We also get into millennial dads changing the narrative around fatherhood, the mental health crisis men are facing, and why every parent should be able to leave the house without leaving a single note for their partner.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• How his call out to social media asking "where do the dads hang out?" turned into creating the Brooklyn Stroll Club 

• Why the zero to one transition feels harder for many dads

• The double standard of dads being praised for the bare minimum

• How fatherhood forces men to be more vulnerable

• Why men need safe spaces and why it's not women's responsibility to create them

• Millennial dads changing the stereotypes

In this friendship series episode, I sit down with one of my oldest friends, Katie DeLuca Arundel, to talk about our friendship over the years and how we’ve supported one another through it all. She clears the air about why so little of what she filmed for Bravo’s In The City made it to air, her friendship with Amanda, & what it felt like to be torn apart online before viewers had ever heard her speak. Katie also shares honestly about what she was navigating behind the scenes: two missed miscarriages, the physical and emotional toll it’s taken on her, and how she's holding grief and genuine happiness for her friends at the same time. 

Key Takeaways / Points:

• Our friendship origin story

• Being a "friend of" vs. full-time cast member for In The City

• Why her In the City scenes didn't air, and why she wasn't at the reunion

• Honest friendship conversations she had with Amanda that we didn’t see on air

• Navigating a miscarriage the same week the Summer House reunion audio leaked

• What a missed miscarriage is, and why she had no idea it was possible

• How two things can be true: grieving your own losses AND showing up for your pregnant friends

In this episode, I unpack my pregnancy symptoms and emotions from weeks 28-31 and the whiplash of being so ready to not be pregnant anymore while simultaneously freaking out that there's about to be another human in this house!! I get into nesting in the middle of a house renovation, the Braxton Hicks and charley horses I’ve been experiencing, and how food noise has crept back in during pregnancy. I also open up about my heightened emotions right now and how toxically I miss the way my body used to look.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• Nesting while renovating: purging, hunting down baby gear, and feeling logistically unprepared for the third

• Braxton Hicks, charley horses, alien-style kicks, and the sounds I now make just getting out of a chair

• Food noise returning during pregnancy and why it feels different this time

• Lack of sleep, heightened emotions, and my honest feelings about not finding out the sex

In this episode, I sit down with Madison Utendahl, founder, CMO, & writer of Burnt on Substack, for her second time on the show. Madison walks us through why she shut down her agency at the height of its success and what it actually took to separate her identity from her work. She opens up about the guilt and shame that shaped her need to succeed, her 70/30 rule for keeping part of her life untouched by monetizing, and the ketamine therapy experience that helped her heal. Plus, why she believes burnout recovery is bullshit and prevention is the only real strategy.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• Why she closed her profitable agency and the offer she walked away from

• The 70/30 rule: letting a job just be a job so 30% of your life holds no financial expectation

• Why "quit your job and follow your passion" doesn't work anymore, and what burnout prevention looks like instead

• Moving from guilt and shame around financial privilege into responsibility

• How she grew her following on social media in 60 days

• Her non-negotiable 15 minutes every morning to prevent burnout, plus ketamine therapy, phone-free mornings, and finding gratitude in the smallest moments

In this episode, I sit down with Tamsen Fadal, longtime news anchor turned menopause advocate, to talk about the hormone conversation nobody prepared us for. She shares her story of the on-air hot flash that stopped her mid-broadcast, how she found out she was in menopause from a four-word patient portal note, and her experience being dismissed by doctors. Tamsen breaks down the differences between perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, the early symptoms women in their 30s and 40s should have on their radar, and what hormone therapy actually looks like. Plus, we get into the mental health side of it all and how to support the women in our lives going through it right now.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• The live TV hot flash that ended her broadcast early and her menopause diagnosis

• Why so many women are dismissed when they seek help for hormone-related symptoms

• Perimenopause vs. menopause vs. post-menopause: what each stage actually means

• The surprising symptoms women miss: brain fog, joint pain, frozen shoulder, and rage

• Hormone therapy explained: patches, progesterone, testosterone, and vaginal estrogen

• Why your mid-30s is exactly the right time to have this on your radar and not to be scared, but prepared

• How to support the women going through menopause in your life
