LA-based and Wisconsin-raised comic, actress, and author Brittany Schmitt needs everyone to get out of her way. Joining Chelsea 11:15 minutes in, she opens up about walking away from dependencies, starting with alcohol and her funny drunk chick persona to most recently her marriage. Where is she heading now? Toward the freest version of herself. 

We discuss humor being a defense mechanism, the usefulness of being taken down a notch, and drinking being a performance art piece, how there’s no right time to quit but rather you stop when you want your life back, the universal concern that we are too much for others, 2020 being the year that relieved us of compare and despair, the channels that open up energetically when you move through a mighty depression, confronting the bully, criticism as preparation for living a life out loud, the consequences of falling in love when you’re not in love with yourself, and how it’s never too late to give yourself the chance you couldn’t give yourself before.

In this bonus episode, you'll hear me on Kind of an Expert, a podcast by Corey Tindall, where I land myself smack dab in the hot seat, sharing stories and my expertise on all things dating, relationships, and heartbreak. I loved every moment of it!

You can hear both of us on Season 2, Episode 8 of The Queen of Hearts Podcast with Host Jujubee, a blind dating game show... that's fun, sexy, revealing, and quite entertaining. So dim the lights and grab the popcorn.

Standup Comedian, Host of the podcast Kind of an Expert and the weekly comedy show “Ope!” in NYC, Corey Tindall joins Chelsea 15 minutes in after meeting and matching on Queen of Hearts, a dating gameshow podcast hosted by the one and only Jujuebee. 

Together they get deep on dating women with anxiety and depression, the consequences of not commanding emotional space within a relationship, clocking behavior rather than calling a person out, the natural tendency toward becoming jaded, demonstrating soft support in a relationship, no one is ever the perfect person, reaching a new baseline of happiness, the downside of being the stoic partner, when men take the team mentality of a relationship too fear and treat girlfriends like projects, leading by example instead of telling someone how to change their life, leaning into the 50% chance that we have no idea what and who will actually make us happy, and more gems of genius.

Listen to Corey and Chelsea's racy meeting on the dating gameshow, Queen of Hearts Season 2 | Episode 8 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Wondery, and everywhere else you stream.

Heartbreak Coach, Inner Power Queen, and Author of Breakups, Healing, and Self-Love, Ohouo Goa joins Chelsea 10:30 minutes in for the most personal, vulnerable, and healing conversation yet.

Together they discuss becoming that which pains us (for instance, the cheater), where the fear of intimacy originates from, cultivating body acceptance when your body carries the history of trauma, and empowering yourself to live beyond society’s boxes and embody your entire range of self-expression.

This episode is a lesson on teaching yourself to stay in the emotions, honoring where you stand in your journey, unlocking repressed experiences and pulling down all the walls on the road to self-intimacy.

* I cried, I laughed, and I changed. Thank you, Ohouo.

At the end of March, in the midst of heartbreak and what felt like a personal falling out with myself, I set my Hinge to Los Angeles, a city I never spent one happy day in, where I lived out the most heartbreaking years and relationship of my life, a city that also just so happens to be the only place I’d ever consider leaving New York for — for the next chapter and stage and… for love. 

Maybe I was falling back on my oldest and truest pattern of all — pursue a long-distance relationship — or maybe my heart wanted to take me somewhere and, under the weight of heartbreak, I was desperate enough to listen and follow... a brave, new possibility... for the podcast, that is. ;) Or, like the guest I’m learning from today, maybe I, too, am full of contradictions. 

Joining me 11 minutes in, Santa Barbara native, Tucker Atterbury aka Mr. Logic, is the first Hinge connection I got to meet and record with in-person. Together, over the course of 2+ hours in May, I began fulfilling my original intention from back in March — in the midst of heartbreak, to let my creative passion lead me, to pause dating and heal... away from men, in front of men, and in thanks to men, to listen and learn from Cali guys, and slowly to begin to open my heart again... because I always take the scenic route... and maybe LA is the way or along it. 

In this episode, you'll hear us discuss the many crossroads of life and love… and, with Tucker’s signature touch, philosophy will be woven throughout his perspective. 

I hope you learn with me... and that, just by listening to us, you'll begin to ask yourself new questions that liberate you, too.

PS: As I release this, I'm wondering whether there aren't two types of online daters: those who are looking for their answer and those who are still asking the questions. If you had to choose, which are you?

KEY TOPICS: the freedom in winging it and the romantic irony of settling down, being cheated on and not being a player, the anxiety of intimacy and exploring non-monogamy, the discomfort of being seen and drifting apart when you're loving on cruise control, manning up with stoicism and numbing oneself from the spectrum of vulnerability, trauma comes from two places and the quest to motivate oneself, the slippery slope of substance abuse and the shame of recognizing your own dependency, the dance between honoring one another's sovereign independence and inevitably objectifying each other, being bullied and gravitating toward female friendships, the fine line between friendship and romantic love, the problem of free will and the experience of choice, ADHD medication and cannabis use, not over identifying with our own consumptions and the pursuit of moderation, betting on yourself and the standstill of privilege, the ego is necessary and othering it for your own well-being. 

Some References: Jean-Paul Sartre, objectification, anguish, being for itself vs. being for others; absurdism; free will vs determinism; Daniel Dennett, user-illusion; Albert Camus, An Absurd Reasoning; virtue ethics; Seneca, Stoic philosophy; Elizabeth Gilbert, Your Elusive Creative Genius, Socrates, the gadfly

Founder, Innovation Consultant, Data Scientist, and Executive and Career Coach, Yash Tekriwal went on 63 first dates in NYC, until determining dating apps leave a lot to be desired. Joining Chelsea 9:20 minutes in, he opens up about his controversial Tweet and dating journey, unpacking people’s most common assumption: if you’re still single, what went wrong? This episode is about how life and (self) love can actually go right.

Topics explored within: love at first sight vs the X-Factor, intellectualizing our stories vs feeling our stories, fake vulnerability, the upside of meeting in community vs one-on-one with the expectations of online dating, swiping for validation while in a committed relationship, the difficulty of letting oneself be loved, the cruel side effect of projection, the fine China analogy of trauma, the little you vs big you in family systems theory, the lonely reality that life moves on with or without you, opening to love when you’re healing vs healed, the moving target of success, leaning into strengths, and how aspirations and our own high standards can prevent us from letting love in today.

Transformational Speaker and National Best-Selling Author of You.Are.The.One. and, most recently, The Magic of Surrender, Kute Blackson has been recognized as the mindfulness guru that billionaires go to for advice. Joining Chelsea 15 minutes in, Kute shines a light on surrendering, a topic that both rules and limits our lives but, with better understanding, can actually liberate us to our next level.

We discuss surrendering to whatever life is currently trying to express through you, the evolutionary nature of goals, attracting our mirror manifestation in romance, understanding the protective intention of the ego, living with the impulse to impact, and relinquishing the master addiction better known as control in favor of magic.
