Ep. 153 Reflections + Gratitude for Recovering From Reality

Today’s episode is icon, influencer, and confidence queen Serena Fucking Kerrigan — otherwise known as SFK. After graduating from Duke University, Serena was hired as a producer at Refinery29. In February 2020, she quit her job to launch her own company that would empower women to live their lives unapologetically and authentically. Since then, she has hosted the first ever Instagram Live reality show, Let’s Fucking Date, launched a hugely successful line of card games, and amassed a huge following on social media—bringing her followers along on her dating escapades and adventures, all for the plot!(bio adapted from letsfuckingdate.com) In this episode, we discuss how Serena manifested her dream life, exactly how you should be approaching dating apps (prompts, banter, getting on the first date, etc), hyping yourself up, making yourself unavailable at the beginning of a relationship, leaning into your devine feminine when dating, and so much more! We answer so many of your questions and give advice on everything from confidence to dating to boundaries and more!

Ep. 151 Bekah Martinez on Becoming Pro-Choice, Politics + Parenting, and Performative Activism

This week’s episode is my last solo episode on the podcast. I’m choosing to listen to the signals my body is sending me and take a step back and slow down.   In this episode, I dive into the Roe v. Wade reversal, the trauma of Covid, and answer your questions about what I wish I saw in the wellness community, my favorite workouts, getting in the mood when you’re not feeling it, my boyfriend, summer plans, if I regretted opening my marriage, letting go of relationships, and what’s to come in the next few weeks of RFR!
