We are a mother-daughter duo, and on this episode, we’re joined by a father-daughter duo—Dr. Drew Pinsky and his daughter, Paulina.

Dr. Drew is a practicing internist and addiction medicine specialist, as well as a New York Times bestselling author. You probably know him as a trusted voice in medicine, mental health, and relationships from his decades of TV, radio, and podcast appearances, including Loveline, Celebrity Rehab, and Dr. Drew on Call. His expertise has made him a go-to resource for navigating the complexities of human behavior, addiction, and personal growth.

Joining him is his daughter, Paulina Pinsky, a writer and educator with a unique perspective on relationships, identity, and consent. Together, they’ve co-authored the insightful and much-needed book, It Doesn’t Have to Be Awkward: Dealing with Relationships, Consent, and Other Hard-to-Talk-About Stuff, which aims to help young people and their parents have open, meaningful conversations about life’s most important topics.

Today, they join us to discuss the power of honest communication, the evolving landscape of relationships, and how to foster healthy connections in an ever-changing world.
