Parenting doesn't get easier because life gets calmer — it gets easier when you get calmer inside the chaos.

In today's episode, Jennifer and Britney sit down with Bette Alkazian, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and parenting coach known for her grounded, practical tools that help parents move through hard moments with more calm, clarity, and connection.

They talk about why we can't prevent every parenting "crisis," how to shift from reactive to proactive parenting, and why what we often call "bad behavior" is usually a child communicating an unmet need. Bette also breaks down the difference between punishment vs. natural consequences, how to build emotional intelligence at home, and how screens impact kids' brains and regulation. Plus: how to stay close to your kids as they grow into teens and adults — without being overbearing.

• How to be more proactive (without trying to predict every crisis)

• Why kids need to feel safe, seen, and soothed

• How to use natural consequences vs punishment

• Why follow-through matters (and what happens when we don't)

• How screen time affects dopamine + regulation — and what to do instead

• How to maintain connection through the teen years + adulthood

In this episode of What She's Having, Jennifer and Britney sit down with Sheri Levy, a functional medicine genetic nutrition specialist and creator of SexyStrongLife®, to talk about what it actually means to "eat for your biology."

Sherry breaks down the "why" behind symptoms—and how personalized lab testing can reveal your authentic diet, gut and microbiome balance, nutrient gaps, and hidden triggers like inflammation, food sensitivities, chemicals, and mold. The conversation goes deep (and stays practical): MTHFR gene "snips," methylated B vitamins, parasites vs. internet trends, smarter sushi habits (yes, the wasabi + ginger thing), detox that actually supports your body daily, and why hydration only works if you're adding minerals.

They also get into big questions your group chat is already asking: alcohol, GLP-1s and the importance of an exit strategy, and what "better food" really means in a processed world. Plus, Sheri shares her personal story of healing after a breast cancer diagnosis and how it reshaped her approach to nutrition, testing, and long-term health.

Dating apps made meeting people easier — but meaningful connection harder. In this episode, we're joined by April Beyer, Founder & CEO of LEVEL Connections, and one of the most respected matchmakers in the country. With 25+ years in the industry, April shares what actually works when it comes to finding real love — especially for smart, successful, busy people who don't have 20–30 hours a week to "DIY" their dating life.

We get into how LEVEL blends human expertise with tech (without replacing the matchmaker), why "ready to date" is often a myth, and how to stop interpreting silence as rejection. April breaks down what makes someone truly relationship-ready, the biggest red flags she watches for in clients, and why mystery is not a strategy for people who want something real.

Plus: her best advice for younger daters stuck in the "two weeks of texting" epidemic — and how women can set standards with grace (and still keep it feminine).

• 12:35 – 15:50 Rejection fears: what it actually means if you don't get called

• 15:50 – 18:42 Why you should say yes to dates + "one photo isn't a decision"

They say life slows down after 40… we say it's just getting started. This week, we're joined by our friend (and board-certified "boob whisperer") Dr. Michael R. Schwartz, founder of Schwartz Aesthetic Institute in Westlake Village.

We're getting into the real questions you actually ask your group chat:

• Saline vs. silicone (and why "gummy bear" implants changed the game)

• Under vs. over the muscle + what's trending now

• The truth about lifts vs. implants (and why skipping the lift can backfire)

• Can an implant "pop"? What rupture/deflation really looks like today

• The modern approach to "mommy makeovers" (and why Dr. Schwartz wants a new name for it)

• Tummy tucks without drains + what recovery really looks like

• Fat transfer: breast, face, and where it works best (and where he won't do it)

• Facelifts in your 40s and 50s: how techniques evolved + how long results can last

• The med-spa side: Botox/filler/laser maintenance + the growing longevity conversation (GLP-1s, peptides, hormone optimization)

If you've ever wondered what's worth doing, what's not, and how to choose a doctor who's equal parts artist + scientist—this is your episode.
