LIVE FROM BED with Jade Iovine

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.

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…

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

A couple weeks ago I asked you guys to send me your modern friendship problems (they were SO juicy so thank you…) and Nicole and Alexa a.k.a Pete and Don entered the group chat to help us out. 

How to deal with:

The friend that copies everything from your hobbies to clothes.

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…)

Live from NEW YORK, it’s…me!! Hi, all my favorite people. This week I’m commiserating from my hotel room in the big city. It’s just me and you this week and truly, I’ve never needed to vent so badly:

• I finally talked to a pet psychic. And, well… I’ll never be the same.

• Wondering: will I ever stop missing my best friends? It seems like it’s only getting worse.

• Reminiscing on a catastrophic miscommunication with my therapist.

And you guys, I need to tell you about the absolutely humiliating, mortifying moment I cannot stop thinking (and cringing) about. Send help - I’m never leaving my house again.

SO I have Covid. Which I’m going to blame for the eclectic nature of this episode…

I had so many things I wanted to vent to you about while we were OOO, so I hope you enjoy bouncing around from topic to topic as I try to cram it all into this catch-up sesh.

• Drinking & Flying
• The two ways to think about vacation sex
• My thoughts on Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) 
• Being the problematic person on a family vacation
• Ozempic opinions: Do you think someone who’s on Ozempic should tell people (family, friends, fans) they’re on it? 
• Your Mom Jokes
• How I feel about social media PDA…
• Why are we terrified of couples therapy?
• Would you be mad if your significant other didn’t post on your birthday?
• AND last but not least we take a hard left as I share the inner child meditation that saved me from my last menty b. 

Enter at your own risk…

This week we discussed something I’ve been DYING to talk to you guys about: the ins and outs of FRIENDS with BENEFITS…

What questions should you ask before you begin a friends with benefits situationship?  

How long do they usually last?

Are you being “benched”?

Will a friendship end after we’ve made things sexual?

Is it possible to make it out of FWB unscathed? 

And how many people secretly wish it would turn into a relationship?

We share anecdotes from our own hellish experiences and how we got out of these situationships in very different ways…

We also covered:

• Being kept a secret
• What constitutes as 3rd/4th base when hooking up
• Dylan’s first text to me
• The #1 rule I live by that Oprah taught me
• How to be there for a long distance friend who’s going through something

Every year, Pornhub releases their top kink searches by state, and all I can say is…you’re about to learn about fetishes you never even knew existed.

Catherine and I also talked about sex lives in long term relationships, how to tell if someone wants to have sex with you, and uncovered a darkly hilarious lost memory of when my parents told me they were getting divorced.

I also had the WORST hangxiety of my life last weekend and needed to vent to you guys about it. I go through the stages of hangxiety, and wonder: was I actually as bad as I think?

This week I vented to Catherine about my thoughts on a modern phenomenon I've decided to call "Toxic Relatability".  In an era dominated by online (omni)presence, we've witnessed a shift from aspirational girlbosses to the emergence of self-proclaimed relatable advice-givers. While this change initially seemed refreshing and beneficial, I’m now finding that I've never felt so judged.

From the ever-looming fear of "the ick" and our incessant pursuit of spotting "red flags" to the rampant overuse and misuse of terms like ‘gaslighting’ and ‘boundaries’, we find ourselves adrift in a sea of misguided counsel and these one-size-fits-all rules. How do we know whose advice to listen to and when does advice turn toxic?

I also shared the common mistake we all unwittingly make when we get into a relationship, the art of “looking ugly”, the truth about snooping in your significant other’s phone, my theory about sad girls, and the five psychological tricks I’m obsessed with.
