Joining Chelsea 5 minutes in, Sam Varnerin pulls the curtain back on a day in the life of a professional cuddler. She shares a few of her client’s motivations for hiring her, the need to be seen and appreciated for what you do within a relationship, trusting your partner’s words and then letting go of worry, and how laying everything out on a Saturday brunch table is a ritual keeping her boyfriend and her grounded and thriving in love.

Writer, Yoga Teacher, and Communications Consultant Sonya Matejko joins Chelsea 5 minutes in to talk about the romantic she used to be. Always on the end of being broken up, Sonya realized what she didn’t have was bigger and more concerning than a lasting relationship. By intentionally prolonging her singleness, Sonya began to see that what she'd really been without all along was self-awareness and that this was the lack that was turning her into a surface level romantic. A few gems to look forward to are, how to be effectively curious post-breakup, why true love exists within logic and romance, prioritizing a partner who will teach as well as allow themselves to be taught, learning to value what sex means to us within a relationship rather than only what it means for our partner, how the best of friends keep a single person’s sanity in check, and bouncing back and to new heights after manifesting a layoff.

Founder of KHL Consulting, Kaylie Hanson Long joins Chelsea 13:30 minutes in to reflect on the tragic and unexpected accident that took her husband’s life. The first guest to claim there is no upside, Kaylie shares her trauma in hopes of normalizing a topic that really should be normalized. Grieving as a young woman and dating as a young widow begs the question: What are you going to do with yourself now that you have these experiences?

A few gems contained within this conversation are, turning grief into advocacy, the value of focusing on nothing while you are going through something, settling the pingpong balls—aka the mental noise—by being in your body, struggling with religion post-accident, the importance of having friends in different time zones, how new romantic interests teach us just how big our hearts can grow and the poignant reality that just because Kaylie’s husband has passed doesn’t mean she can’t still call upon him for guidance, asking her usual question: What would Jeff do?

Comedian Mike Bramante gets honest about recovering from a breakup he wished would have never happened. What transpires in the wake of his heartbreak is a healing that very much goes against the grain of modern dating, in that, rather than rushing to replace, he takes the scenic route back to love and along the way approaches “moving on" as a choice to either forget the relationship (both its wins and losses) or honor the person he’s become in thanks to the relationship. As Mike explains, “Heartbreak is a sad thing but the relationship is the happy thing.” His choice has been to accept the ending in order to appreciate the relationship—a brave move that almost seems instinctual. He also opens up about the importance of bending your absolutes, managing clinical OCD, the tension between the fear of death and the fear of dying before you’ve lived, accepting uncertainty, and how his breakup motivated him to go all-in with comedy.

Joining Chelsea 8 minutes in, Lori Villafane, author of The Other Gloria, opens up about the heartbreaking experience of having dissociative identity disorder, specifically not being able to access both the good and bad memories of her children's childhood. Today she reflects on the unconditional love she has in her second marriage (a bond she never thought she deserved), what it feels like to develop a friendship with her adult daughters, how forgiveness has helped her overcome the abuse of her past, and why a phobia of being photographed is something she's ready to tackle.

Harvard-educated researcher on food addictions and the author of 38 children's books as well as the memoir Searching for God in the Garbage, Bracha Goetz talks about the thread she found after reading through 20 years of her journals and diaries: an eating disorder was inevitable. The biggest revelation of all, however, was what she discovered nourishes our starved souls. In conversation with Chelsea, she reflects on withdrawing from medical school, telling her family she wasn't coming back from Israel, and meeting the man she would marry who joined her in discovering that the biggest pleasure of all isn't food or the absence of it after all.
