I was first introduced to SFK when a friend took me to her live show in NYC — I've been a fan ever since. I sat down with the social media powerhouse writer, creator of Let's F*****g Date, and the Queen of Confidence to talk about how she created SFK in the first place. We deep dive on building an online personality, how creators can safeguard their own mental health, and her current read.

I started a podcast last May just as Mental Health Awareness Month kicked off. It is one of the most fun projects I am currently a part of. On each episode I get to talk to experts, authors, creators, and coaches (most of them friends or people I’ve admired in the space forever) for an hour and then share that conversation with you.

Dr. Sarah Oreck is our new resident therapist on the podcast. I could not be more excited. For her first introduction, she’s unpacking what the last few weeks (if you can imagine it’s only been that long) have done to our nervous systems and trauma responses. She speaks on why it’s okay to focus on your immediate needs, even if the world is on fire, and how to navigate your first go at breathwork.

Rebecca Alvarez Story is a sexologist and the founder of Bloomi, a destination for clean intimate care products and tips. We recorded this episode at the end of May way before Roe v Wade was overturned. In considering putting out this episode or not, I decided now was actually the perfect time to put it out. In addition to questions around parenthood and how limited many are after the overturning of Roe v Wade, I think it also attempts to close the scope on how sexually active (and how much pleasure) woman can be. I believe that sexual pleasure is an act of rebellion and establishing our own agency over our bodies best we can right now. I’m excited for you to meet Rebecca and hear how she explains pleasure, desire, libido, masturbation, and how to talk to your partner about sex.

David Kessler and I have come together a handful of times now to talk about grief. It’s an honor because when I was first truly diving into my own grief learning his were words that I turned to. He’s written books with Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, like Life Lessons and On Grief and Grieving, and on his own, like Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief. He also leads grief.com and brings together a community of grievers who are all looking for the same thing — a sense of being understood. Throughout our conversation, I think we end up offering up a great primer on grief whether you’re on day 24 or year 24.

Lori Gottlieb is a psychotherapist, the New York Times bestselling author of “Maybe You Should Talk To Someone,” and the co-host of “Dear Therapists.” Our episode feels like the prequel to a really good therapy session. She sheds light on what you should expect from a therapist, how to engage your past and future without hurting your present self, and shares maybe my favorite podcast quote yet, “We always like to say: before diagnosing someone with depression, make sure they aren’t surrounded by assholes…”
