  • The Top 3 Mistakes That Destroy Relationships—From a Divorce Judge Who’s Seen It All | Faith Jenkins (Fan Fav)

    The Top 3 Mistakes That Destroy Relationships—From a Divorce Judge Who’s Seen It All | Faith Jenkins (Fan Fav)
    Jun 30 2025
    This is a Fan Fav episode. Faith Jenkins—celebrated attorney, former Manhattan prosecutor, and current host of Divorce Court and Killer Relationships—joins me for one of the most powerful conversations we’ve ever had about love, relationships, and why so many seemingly solid unions unravel. Faith lays it all out: the hidden issues from our past that quietly sabotage our relationships, the role of resentment and unspoken expectations, and how the external pressure to “just pick someone” can land you in heartache—or worse. With deep candor about her own 20-year journey as a single woman, Faith reveals the self-work, boundaries, and radical honesty required to not only find love but to build a relationship that actually lasts. From the dangers of settling to the critical importance of therapy and emotional maturity, Faith shares the blueprint behind her new book, Sis, Don’t Settle. This episode is a masterclass in learning to love yourself first, embrace rejection without losing your self-worth, and choosing a partner who adds to your happiness instead of completing it. If you want to break cycles of heartbreak and step boldly into lasting, authentic love, this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for. SHOWNOTES 00:00 – You can be the total package at the wrong address: Why singleness isn’t a defect 01:16 – The real roots of breakups and divorce: People don’t have relationship problems, they bring personal problems into relationships 05:50 – Bringing happiness to your ever after: Why you must own your own joy before seeking a partner 08:44 – The three choices in dating: Accept, reject kindly, or (don’t!) try to rebuild someone 11:53 – Resentment: The silent destroyer of love and how ignoring red flags leads to disaster 15:47 – The cost of staying too long: Why “choosing history over happiness” keeps you trapped 18:56 – Are you both committed to the same commitment? The (often unasked) question that saves relationships 24:45 – Faith’s journey to love after 40: Letting go of cynicism and writing her own “love manifesto” 36:48 – The danger zone: How external pressure and timelines push women to settle 46:17 – Doing your due diligence: Why Faith went to therapy before saying yes to forever FOLLOW FAITH JENKINS: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/judgefaithjenkinsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/JudgeFaithJenkinsTwitter: https://twitter.com/FaithJenkinsEsq Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Is Birth Control Destroying Your Hormones? What Every Woman Needs to Know | Dr. Aviva Romm (Fan Fav)

    Is Birth Control Destroying Your Hormones? What Every Woman Needs to Know | Dr. Aviva Romm (Fan Fav)
    Jun 27 2025
    This is a Fan Fav episode. From the very start of this conversation, I was fired up! I brought Dr. Aviva Romm on Women of Impact—an M.D., midwife, herbalist, and author of Hormone Intelligence—to unravel the web of confusion and shame that keeps so many women feeling powerless about their hormones, periods, and health. Aviva exposes the damaging myths we’re taught, reveals how our cycles impact everything from our confidence to our career momentum, and—let me tell you—it’s not about “just suffering” through being a woman. Get ready to find out the best times in your cycle for asking for a raise, why you may want to hide your credit card before your period, and how you can start tracking your unique “normal” so you feel confident, not crazy. Aviva and I dive deep, get super tactical, and, real talk, help you reclaim your power—because knowledge is, truly, power. SHOWNOTES The truth about what’s “normal” vs. what’s common when it comes to women’s hormones and periods How environmental factors—including antibiotics and toxins—affect your hormonal health from childhood Why feeling moody, suffering, or being “out of control” isn’t actually normal for women The life-changing impact of tracking your cycle for confidence, career moves, and emotional well-being Planning your life around your menstrual cycle: confidence highs, energy peaks, and when to avoid shopping sprees How gut health, food choices, and the microbiome influence mood, hormones, and overall vitality The critical link between self-blame, misdiagnosis, and delayed treatment for issues like endometriosis Dispelling myths around birth control: what your doctor probably never told you about side effects How to nurture a positive relationship with your body, pleasure, and sexual desire through each hormone phase Turning lifestyle changes—not quick fixes—into real, lasting hormonal balance and personal empowerment FOLLOW DR.
