  • It Begins With You: Jillian Tureki on Breaking the Cycle and Building Real Love
    Apr 23 2025

    Are you tired of asking, ‘Why do I keep ending up in the same kind of relationship?’ or ‘How do I find someone who’s actually right for me?’ The truth? It starts with you. In this honest episode, we explore the powerful idea that the common denominator in all your relationships is you—not because you're the problem, but because you are the starting point for real change. Through deep insights and relatable stories, we unpack everything from immature vs. mature love, how to spot love bombing, and when to have hard conversations, to how to protect your heart, recognize red flags, and most importantly—how to choose yourself first without losing the ability to love deeply. Because no relationship will save you from yourself—but the right one will walk with you as you grow.

  • Anna Kai is Back: BDE, Cringe Moments, and Reading Emails to Our Exes
    Apr 16 2025

    Anna Kai is back, and we wasted no time jumping into all the things — including digging up old emails we actually sent to our exes (yes, we read them out loud). We get into everything from Big Dick Energy (BDE) and the truth about dating confidence, to awkward hookups and what really matters in relationships. It’s the kind of convo you’d have with your best girlfriend: funny, a little chaotic, and surprisingly therapeutic. Plus, Anna drops a gem about why being enough has nothing to do with anyone else — and everything to do with you.

    Apr 9 2025

    Vanessa & Xander are back to break down the sex stuff nobody ever teaches you—but everyone should know. We’re talking scheduling sex without feeling like you’re booking a dentist appointment, why wetness isn’t a performance review, and yes… the great queef debate (because we all need to stop acting like it’s a tragedy). We also get into why soap should never go near your vulva (seriously, please stop), how to figure out your sexual values, and why your body usually knows what it wants before your brain does. Oh, and spoiler alert: sex isn’t supposed to get boring—it’s supposed to get better. Whether you’re looking to spice things up or just feel less weird about your own experiences, this one’s a juicy, hilarious, no-holds-barred guide to better sex and real intimacy.

  • Peyote in Costa Rica & a Casual, Totally NBD Crush/LOML
    Mar 26 2025

    This week, I’m taking you inside my Costa Rica adventure, where I said yes to Peyote and ended up laughing, crying, and questioning all my life choices—sometimes all at once. After a recent Ketamine therapy session cracked my heart wide open (in a good way), I found myself craving a deeper spiritual connection and little space from it all… so apparently, that meant hopping on a plane and trying a new plant medicine. My experience was… well, you’ll find out. Somewhere between the jungle bugs and spiritual breakthroughs, I also may have caught feelings for someone new. But it’s fine. No big deal. I’m totally not spiraling.
