Apparently I'm going to fall in love next month, and that's all you really need to know. But in case that's not enough, here's a recap of the last 3 weeks, including my trip to Charlotte, my recent surgery, and some things I've learned about myself lately (like what a controlling bitch I am).
A bunch of random shit I rambled on about for 65 minutes. Socializing, my decision to have/not have kids, body building, dating in your 30s vs dating in your 20s, people who can't be alone, and a trip to Charlotte.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and I'm sharing my thoughts on sex (or lack thereof) and the link to mental health... And a bunch of other shit I rambled on about for 52 minutes through a stuffed nose. Is my Instagram content appropriate if I want to find a man? To be a wife and mom? Is it fair to talk about my partner on a podcast if I'm in a committed relationship? I talk about the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial. And I shared the results from the poll and my personal opinion to the question: "If you're in a relationship, how many times a week do you want/expect sex?"
Happy Easter! Tonight I'm joined by my sister, Ivy. Ivy is 25 and a stay at home mom with 3 beautiful baby girls in a small mid-western town in southern Indiana.

Tonight I'm joined by medical expert and doctor of internal medicine and gastroenterology- Dr. Lukasz Kwapisz... Or as I like to call him, K-Wap. Dr. Kwap is based in the Houston area and is a former soccer player. We discuss using sports to create discipline in our lives and sharpen our minds. He shares how he made the decision to choose a career as a physician in the medical field over professional sports, and how he navigates relationships with a demanding career today. We both weighed in on how the relationships we saw amongst our parents have affected the relationships we pursue today (modeling our parents' behaviors vs breaking generational curses). He talks about the qualities he's most attracted to in a woman, and how to weed out the real from the phony. He's hot. He's intelligent. He's stylish. He's a great conversationalist, and a lot of fun. Check him out on instagram @drkwap!

Oh, and we cover the importance of liking your partner's friends.
