In today's Dating Detectives episode, Hannah and Mackenzie are joined by two sisters, Tessa and Lena, who share the heartbreaking story of their mom and the dangerous “healer” who charmed his way into her life. What starts as a new spiritual interest turns into something far darker: a charismatic grifter who peddles bogus “energy readings,” pushes conspiracy-fueled medical misinformation, and steadily isolates their mother from her family, right as serious illness enters the picture. As their mothers health deteriorates and a cancer diagnosis becomes impossible to ignore, the sisters watch in horror as her husband discourages treatment, undermines doctors, and replaces real care with reckless “natural” remedies, leaving them scrambling to protect their mom and regain control of her medical decisions. This is part two of a two-part story about spiritual manipulation, medical abuse, and what it feels like to fight for someone you love when they've been convinced the danger is actually the cure.Click here to join our Patreon!

This week, Kate reflects on 2025 for feeling depleting yet not defining, exhausting and sometimes forgettable; a year of endless micro-trends, political chaos, and moment sludge that somehow left very little to hold onto. Fun! She dives into "viral death cycle" and why nothing sticks anymore, explores the three stages of aging out of culture, explores why many of us feel our brains are broken, and processes the weird grief of realizing you're no longer "becoming" someone but existing deep in a routine, all while she grapples with her uncool taste in apples. TLDR: a contemplative, honest, sometimes vulnerable year-end reflection about culture, the internet, our interests, and Kate's job at the intersection, and how this is the first year she felt like she's officially getting old.

Do you need to be fully healed before you can have a healthy relationship? In episode 3 of 4 in the Clarity Series, Sabrina dismantles one of the biggest myths in dating and personal growth: that you must be perfect, secure, or “done healing” before you're worthy of love. Drawing from attachment theory, nervous system regulation, and real-life dating dynamics, she explains why so many people feel fine when they're single but get triggered the moment they start dating and why that doesn't mean you've failed your healing journey . This episode explores the difference between awareness and real change, healing alone versus healing in relationships, and how avoidance can masquerade as self-work. You'll learn what “being ready to date” actually looks like, how to stop hiding behind healing, and how to build self-trust by responding differently when you're triggered. If you struggle with anxious attachment, dating anxiety, relationship patterns, or feeling stuck despite therapy and self-work, this conversation will reframe how you approach dating, growth, and emotional safety moving forward. If you're ready to slow down, trust your instincts, and break your old dating patterns, the Healthy Relationship Foundations Course walks you through it step-by-step  HERE!

Charlotte Palermino is a licensed esthetician, co-founder of Dieux Skin, writer and self proclaimed skincare freak. She joins the show for an honest, no-nonsense conversation around beauty standards, treatments, what actually matters in skincare and what absolutely doesn't. We get into the first skincare brand she ever fell in love with, the beauty products she thinks are totally overrated and the weirdest treatment she's ever tried. Charlotte shares her go-to approach for treating hyperpigmentation, her laser recommendations, the number one thing everyone should be doing for better skin and why so many of us still get duped by clever marketing. We also unpack the realities of perioral dermatitis, why lawsuits ironically protect the beauty industry, how U.S. and EU regulations really differ and why Europe is often idealized for all the wrong reasons. Plus: the percentages that actually matter when reading ingredient lists, the future of skincare through her skeptical lens and the affordable brands she genuinely recommends.This episode is brought to you by:Go to justthrivehealth.com and use code WELL for 20% off your first 90 day bottle of Just Thrive probiotic.

What better way to deliver three concealers than with a singing telegram? It's another ‘late night' recording (aka 5pm). Episodes after dark bring extra-silly (but apparently NOT spicy) anecdotes and seven looooong blasts of bits we absolutely beat into the ground! Yes, it's the holiday season, and YES, the PR gets a little out of control. We're fresh off a football-packed weekend with the boys (GO DAWGS!!), two red carpets, and a sequel to the bathroom line saga (IYKYK)!! What starts as an innocent conversation about holiday traditions and gift-giving quickly takes a sharp turn into toilet preferences, bathroom literature, and full-blown face blindness.

This week, Kate investigates Elf on the Shelf: cute Christmas tradition or late-capitalist nightmare? After a simple Instagram question turned into hundreds of responses about surveillance capitalism, invisible labor, and performative parenting, she started to unpack what this manufactured tradition reveals about millennial parenting, Christmas magic, and the mental load of the holidays. Can it just be holly-jolly casual for those of us who like light whimsy labor, or does it have to match its corresponding oppressive, mischievous Christmas elf canon? Plus, the suspicious origin story of Christopher Pop-in-kins and whether Elf on the Shelf's biggest crime isn't the ziplining across the kitchen on dental floss, but intellectual property theft.

Happy Thanksgiving!! This holiday season, the internet splits between overpriced hair extensions, a luxury grocery store, and…wait for it…skin care for kids. Of course we have opinions AND a little inside scoop. (Sorry, Chrissy, Danielle refuses to be a victim.) While the internet melts down, we battle a few personal issues of our own, slightly TMI, obviously!! But it's the hot girls who have stomach problems, right? We give you a full Disney recap, including a brand-new bit that, yes, we WILL beat into the ground, plus a slightly controversial drink convo. Curious to know your thoughts?! And let's be real, after all her running, Brooke definitely has a turkey trot in her future, while Danielle probably never retires from Blackout Wednesday. Look, maybe this is the episode to play for the fam while you're prepping that turkey!Please support the show by checking out our sponsors!Baked by Melissa: Right now, Baked by Melissa is running a site-wide up to 25% off sale for Black Friday at Bakedbymelissa.com/GALSONTHEGO Function Health: Our first 1000 listeners get a $100 credit toward their membership.

This week I'm joined by Sheena Zadeh, founder of Kosas, to talk about the real story behind building a massive beauty brand while trusting your intuition through every twist. She opens up about young marriage and divorce, losing her home in a fire, and deprogramming the belief that women are only valuable if they're partnered. We also explore how confidence, self-knowledge, and true self-possession come from surviving what was meant to break you. We get into the reality of growing a brand (yes, even when you see celebrities using your products), her beauty philosophy and current trends she's loving, unhinged beauty purchases, thoughts on aging, and the gifts that come from hardship as we navigate our 30s, step into our 40s, and fully own who we are.This episode is brought to you by:Go to ProLonLife.com/BLONDE for 15% off plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-day program.Get up to 25% off your order at Bakedbymelissa.com/BLONDE.Go to fromourplace.com/BLONDE and use code BLONDE for 10% off sitewide.

This week, Kate's peer pressuring you to listen to an episode about the DARE program in the 90s and how it made every fifth grader in America incredibly wary of adults wearing trench coats. From winning essay contests and meeting Darren the Lion to interpretive dance performances and questionable field trips, listeners' stories did not disappoint. This episode also explores the program's history, why DARE may have worked to spook many of us but was statistically ineffective, the surprisingly dark surveillance tactics involving kids as informants, and the wild MLM-adjacent structures behind the program's expansion.

In this week's episode, Sabrina breaks down how attachment wounds can disguise themselves as “gut feelings” and why instinct often gets drowned out by anxious urgency. Sabrina walks through real examples as she uncovers how familiar patterns can trick your nervous system into calling danger “love,” and unpacks how old trauma keeps you choosing pain over safety. Sabrina shares the tools she uses to slow the spiral, track the truth, and retrain her intuition so it actually protects her instead of sabotaging her. If you keep finding yourself in relationships that start fast and end the same way, you're not broken. Your body just learned that fast feels safe. The Art of Going Slow is my new 4-week live program starting November 20. Together, we'll build the tools that help you stay calm, grounded, and connected while dating, without losing yourself in the process. Doors close November 18.

On this Mackenzie Undercover special, we hit Orlando's CityWalk—heels on, cameras rolling—and team up with Griff Stark-Ennis from the true-crime-comedy podcast Petty Crimes to work a “guys' weekend” that isn't what it seems. Our client is a sharp attorney and mom with a bad feeling. Our subject is her construction-worker husband who conveniently “forgot” his ring. What unfolds is a wild surveillance mission that takes us straight into a nightclub, through an all-night stakeout to catch the “walk of shame,” and into a post-case twist involving encrypted chat apps and years of hidden secrets. It's proof that sometimes the trail to the truth starts under neon lights—and ends with receipts no one saw coming.Check out Petty Crimes with Griff Stark-Ennis wherever you get your podcasts, or click here to listen now!

This week, I'm joined by Dr. Felice Chan, a Chinese medicine doctor who bridges Eastern and Western approaches to healing after years studying allopathic medicine including shadowing an oncology neurosurgeon and working at Boston Children's Hospital. We dive into the fascinating contrasts between healthcare in Hong Kong and the U.S., the 5,000-year misunderstanding around acupuncture, and how our gut health connects to anxiety, depression, and even our skin. Dr. Chan shares practical, science-backed tips to reduce bloating, support digestion, curb sugar cravings, and shift your mindset around food—plus her honest takes on popular health trends like intermittent fasting and cold plunging. We also get into cosmetic acupuncture, what not to do on your period, how emotions manifest physically, and how to “eat your skincare” by nourishing your blood and creating a vibrant, resilient body from the inside out.This episode is brought to you by:Get 20% off your order at Bakedbymelissa.com/BLONDE.Go to ProLonLife.com/BLONDE for 15% off plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-day program.Visit Hungryroot.com/blonde and use code blonde for 40% off your first box.Go to fromourplace.com/BLONDE and use code BLONDE for 10% off sitewide.Get $10 off your first month's subscription and enjoy free shipping when you visit Nutrafol.com and use promo code BLONDE.Go to Quince.com/blonde for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order.Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this episode, Sabrina Zohar sits down with Dr. Sara Szal to uncover the hidden physical roots of anxiety. From hormones and gut health to mold, blood sugar, and cortisol, they break down how your body can fuel emotional chaos even when your life feels “fine.” Sabrina opens up about her own misdiagnosis journey, being told her anxiety was just mental before discovering deeper physiological causes. Together, they explore how the nervous system, hormones, and environment intertwine, and how healing often starts in the body, not the mind. If you've ever asked yourself, “Why do I feel anxious when nothing's wrong?”, this episode will change the way you understand yourself.

Part Two of Claudia's saga is a tangle of exes, receipts, and survival. As she builds a new life with Amber, a DM from Melissa's ex, Taylor, detonates everything—revealing a secret alliance with Amber's ex Kayla, alleged surveillance, financial doxxing, and the chilling photo of Claudia's child sleeping on a mattress in a closet. We follow Claudia into court, through “defensive parenting,” and onto TikTok where a web of past partners surfaces a pattern of control; veganism-as-control, forced tattoos, baby pressure, and love-bombing wrapped in “toxic positivity.” Trigger warning: child endangerment and abuse are discussed.Click here to join our Patreon!

With so many changes happening across the digital marketing landscape, sometimes the best strategy is to have no strategy at all — at least when it comes to social media, according Melissa Ben-Ishay, co-founder and CEO of dessert company Baked By Melissa. Instead, Ben-Ishay props her phone up on her kitchen counter at least once a week, where she walks her TikTok followers through everything from how to make crispy rice to gnocchi, and, of course, a catalog of desserts. Ben-Ishay is one of many founders-turned-influencers who are navigating the booming influencer marketing space and putting a face to their brands to more authentically connect with followers. The founder-influencer pipeline is standard at this point, and perhaps the trend is most commonplace in the small- to medium-sized business and direct-to-consumer brand spaces, where founders are cranking out content to keep up with the likes of influencers who are launching their own brands. In this episode of the Digiday Podcast, Ben-Ishay talks about being a founder-influencer, and shares her thoughts on the ever-looming TikTok ban and why Baked by Melissa's social strategy is no strategy at all.

This week, Jason is joined by mother, baker, and founder of Baked by Melissa, Melissa Ben-Ishay! The New York City based entrepreneur's brand became famous for its signature bite-sized cupcakes and treats starting back in 2008. Previously working in advertising, Melissa was unexpectedly fired and decided to reinvent herself based on her passion for baking after successfully selling her cupcakes through various catering based events. She opened her first retail store in 2009. Fast forward to today and Baked by Melissa now operates 14 total locations and delivers all across the US through her online marketplace. She has also partnered with organizations such as Make A Wish, Weight Watchers, Oatly and several other non-profit organizations all across the country. Melissa gives insight to what makes her bite-size cupcakes such a success in the baking industry, what goes into the product, what her first television spot was, how she was able to finance the company with human capital, where they do all the baking, what goes into the decision to collaborate with another brand, and how COVID impacted the business. Melissa also reveals how she keeps the customer in mind, what time is the busiest for the company, what she did on the day she was fired, why she was given the opportunity to write a cookbook, and why her food philosophy is. What is the core to her business? How did Baked by Melissa get into Madison Square Garden?

From the beginning -- the first hire, the brand values, and the initial vision of the website -- cupcake dynamo Baked by Melissa has been focused on the experience of the customer. It's part of the recipe. And with cupcakes being an emotional purchase, celebrating something happy, soothing something sad, or thanking when something is good, it's personal for both the customer and for co-founder Melissa Ben-Ishay, whose name is on the wall. Every experience a customer has reflects on Melissa herself. She joins Liliana Petrova to share how values have driven some of the most important decisions Melissa has had to make in the past 13 years, including: reacting quickly in the first moments of the pandemic; taking the risk to launch an epic and expensive customer experience campaign which both connected with customers and drove brand awareness for years to come; and, how this mompreneur had to overcome her initial reluctance to become the CEO of her own company only to find herself exactly where she should have been all along.
