Everything is the Best

Hi! This episode is a big one. I talk about my trip to Mexico with Carmela for stem cells (yes, I get emotional), plus questions about protecting myself, why I think the internet has gotten way too parasocial, weight, and so much more. xx

Solo episode today! I’m answering your questions and giving a little life update as I head to Mexico with Carmela for her stem cell treatment, what I’m hoping for, and why I’m choosing to approach the trip with gratitude instead of fear.

I’m also getting into my advice for starting a brand in your 20s (hint: get some life experience first), why the best brands are built around a real point of view, and everything I learned from my years at Reformation. Then we talk weddings—why yours should feel personal instead of like a content shoot, the details that made mine so special, and why your guests’ experience matters more than getting the perfect photo.

Plus, friendship breakups, anxiety, social media, sadness, gratitude, and the question I ask myself when I start spiraling: Is this real? Life is going to have hard moments, but I’m learning to stop future tripping, focus on what’s actually in front of me, and let myself enjoy the life I’ve worked so hard to build.

Davide is back on the pod for a very special al fresco episode! We’re recapping our summer in Sicily- from Taormina / Davide's hometown to beach clubs, long lunches, late-night gelato, traveling with two kids and the places we’ll always return to. We reminisce about the restaurant where Davide asked my dad for permission to propose, his past life as a Sicilian beach boy, Italian friendship and family culture, and why traveling with our kids has become so meaningful to us.

We also get into parenting anxiety, making room for intimacy after kids, ignoring judgment, and why I refuse to let fear of something being uncomfortable stop us from making memories as a family. Plus, Davide reflects on turning 38, the personal growth that’s gotten him here, and what it means to finally feel like it’s time to “be your own hero.”

This week I'm unpacking the conversation that's been taking over the internet after the viral "No Influencers" sign in Nantucket—but it's really about something much bigger. I share why our recent trip to Sicily made me rethink my relationship with content creation, the pressure to perform online, and why authenticity feels harder than ever in the algorithm era. We talk about influencer culture, creativity, community, comparison, and why I still believe the internet can be one of the most beautiful tools we have when we use it thoughtfully. Plus, I open up about my own insecurities around social media, being Type B in a Type A online world, and why your unique perspective is the only thing worth protecting.

This week I sat down with Annie Meyers-Shyer, the woman behind This Oak House, the Instagram account documenting her family's historic home renovation in Los Angeles that has completely taken over my algorithm and my heart. Annie grew up surrounded by design and storytelling as the daughter of Nancy Meyers, known for movies such as Something's Gotta Give and The Holiday, and her father, Charles Shyer, who worked alongside Nancy as a writer and director on many of those same films. But her own path took a different shape entirely, from working as an accessories editor at Harper's Bazaar in New York to a five year run as West Coast PR for Chanel, before eventually landing back in Los Angeles as a wife, mother, and, as she puts it herself, "the absolute accidental influencer."

We get into what it actually looks like to take on a major renovation with two kids underfoot, how she thinks about pace and patience when nothing is moving fast enough, the design instincts she absorbed from watching her mother obsess over every detail of a set, right down to matching paint to Lindsay Lohan's hair color, and how she's built a genuinely joyful online community around something as unglamorous as knob hardware and paint swatches. we also talk about grief, family, and legacy, since this conversation comes not long after the loss of her father.

This one is warm, honest, and full of the kind of small, specific details that make a house actually feel like home. Grab your coffee for this one.

Eric Buterbaugh has the best stories of anyone I know. This week on Everything Is The Best, we sit down with the man they call the King of Roses, LA's florist to the stars turned founder of EB Florals, and honestly I could have listened to him for five more hours.

He's worked for Gianni Versace, he's done the flowers for Madonna's Oscar parties and Demi Moore's dinners, and at one point in this conversation he tells the story of eating fried chicken on the floor with Elizabeth Taylor, which is exactly the kind of unhinged glamour I live for. We get into what it actually takes to build a life around beauty, the emotional labor of working the most intimate days in people's lives (he's basically a therapist with shears), and how decades of floral obsession turned into a perfume line that made Saks and Bergdorf Goodman pay attention.

Eric is fucking fabulous. Funny, unfiltered, zero interest in being precious about any of it. I love him, and I think you will too.

This week I'm answering one of the questions I get asked most: how do you actually balance work, motherhood, ambition, and everything in between? The honest answer is... I'm still figuring it out.

I share why I've been feeling disconnected lately, my complicated relationship with networking, and the unexpected loneliness that can come with building a career while raising a family. I also open up about taking Carmela to an incredible five-day therapy intensive, the progress we saw, and why it left me feeling more hopeful than I have in a long time.

Plus, I finally recap one of the greatest nights of my life: watching Saturday Night Live from inside Studio 8H, seeing Will Ferrell host, Paul McCartney surprise the audience, and witnessing a behind-the-scenes moment I'll never forget.

This week, I’m sitting down with Jordan Harper, founder of Barefaced and one of the smartest voices in skincare. We talk about how a teenage struggle with acne led her from the ICU to building one of the fastest-growing skincare brands in the country, all while raising four kids and navigating over $500,000 in student debt.

Jordan shares the skincare advice everyone should know, the products that actually matter, why most routines are far too complicated, and the surprising reason consistency beats every quick fix. We also get into motherhood, time management, building a business without investors, and the mindset shifts that helped her turn a garage startup into a thriving company.

Whether you're looking for better skin, better habits, or inspiration to finally start the thing you've been dreaming about, this conversation is packed with practical takeaways.
