Coming at you live from Iceland to encourage you to book that friend vacation in 2025. Or better yet ask your husband to give it to you as a Christmas gift.

We spend so much time planning our kids play dates and their activities that we forget to do these things for ourselves. No more. We cannot be our best selves without taking time for ourselves. Let's talk about the joys of me time, of friend vacations and doing absolutely nothing in a new place while I soak in a hot spring on a black lava beach.

Today we're taking a deep dive into the world of a 16-year-old TikTok star who wants to change the industry as we know it and ensure that the next 20 billionaires are females under 25. Sloane Price is wildly ambitious in ways I couldn't have imagined possible when I was a teenager. And today we're talking about her business plans, the ways that brands and agencies take advantage of teen girl influencers (plus how she wants to fix it) and why the teenage influencers today are the future of celebrity marketing.

It's way too easy for social media to make us feel like crap. But the things that shame us or guilt us, or make us want to throw our phones across the room often say more about our own demons and trauma than they do about the influencers themselves.

Today we're joined by journalist Fortesa Latifi who went down a rabbit hole of jealousy looking at one influencer's birth pics.

We're also diving into the exquisite stupidity of push presents and whether or not you should feel guilty about wanting to go right back to work after giving birth.

Who lands the cover of the far-right version of Cosmo, a profile in Glamour magazine and another in The New York Times within days of each other? Ballerina Farm does. I'll bet you thought it was Cher. Let's dive inside the Ballerina Farm media blitz with Glamour reporter Stephanie McNeal who spoke to Hannah Neeleman for her rebranding "I AM NOT A #TRADWIFE" press tour. We're asking questions about whether or not a social media brand can appeal to everyone in our polarized world and whether rebranding herself as an entrepreneur instead of a housewife is the ultimate flex.

Behind every powerful woman… are more powerful women taking justice into their own hands. That is currently more true than ever. When I saw Suffs the musical the other day I found myself sobbing in the bathroom with complete strangers and I simply had to talk about it with the magical Nikki James who portrays the inimitable Ida B. Wells in this Broadway masterpiece.

SUFFS brings to life a complicated chapter in the ongoing battle for the right to vote: the American women’s suffrage movement. In the seven years leading up to the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, an impassioned group of suffragists—“Suffs” as they called themselves—took to the streets, pioneering protest tactics that transformed the country. They risked their lives as they clashed with the president, the public, and each other. A thrilling story of brilliant, flawed women working against and across generational, racial, and class divides, SUFFS boldly explores the victories and failures of a fight for equality that is still far from over.

This week Hannah Neeleman, the founder and CEO of the brand Ballerina Farm appeared on the cover of Evie magazine, the MAGA-friendly lady magazine that claims to be an alternative to traditional media’s abject feminism. If we had any questions about the Neeleman family’s political leanings (I didn’t) then this answers them for us. On the cover Hannah is posed seductively in a prairie field whilst milking a cow in a pristine linen dress.

The magazine, which is cleverly designed to looks exactly like other recognizable women’s brands like Vogue and Elle, touts MAGA-friendly headlines like THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING SEXY: Why Society Needs Aspirational Beauty. 

Here to talk about all of it is NYT bestselling author of A Well-Trained Wife, Tia Levings.
