This week, I invite the women who have been my favorite slumber party guests since we were pre-teens, Camille and Nathalie, to help me react and respond to some of your biggest relationship (platonic, romantic, familial) problems.

Dear Beddies, I don’t know about you, but whenever I hear about attachment styles or reparenting, my head starts to spin. That is, until I had this conversation with Dr. Judy, neuropsychologist and author of “The New Rules Of Attachment”. Look no further… Thanks to Dr. Judy, I can officially offer you the least confusing, most inspiring, and ultra-approachable guide to attachment styles and reparenting yourself. Our attachment style impacts every aspect of our lives: friendships, career, goal-setting, even our sense of self. Moreover, we can all learn to become securely attached—no matter what attachment style we developed in childhood— so we can heal our relationships and achieve the life we’ve always wanted. There are so many ‘blow your mind moments’ in this episode - quite frankly, the world isn’t ready for how healed and self-aware we’re all about to be after this.

I thought we were due for an unhinged ADHD-fueled catch-up and baby, we did just that. I roped our favorite producer of this show, Catherine, in to go over all the WOMMs I’ve been holding in the last couple weeks. We bounced around from two humiliating moments I never want to think about again, to scheduling sex, to the infamous post-hangout text. We hear from a listener who went snooping in her sister-in-law’s phone, and complained about 30th birthday IG captions.

I first fell in love with Carla’s TikToks this summer. The way she so perfectly articulates what I often feel, and how much I related to every video she put out was almost scary. I knew I had to meet her somehow. With her dry, monotone candor, Carla is a hero for all of us in the Mentally Ill Girlies Club and just simply… gets it. I don’t think I’ve ever said “No WAY, I thought I was the only one who did that!” more in any other conversation I’ve had on this show. This was my dream therapy, venting, validating sesh and I hope you feel as seen, understood and, quite frankly, relieved as we both did.

This week, ultimate legend and undisputed queen of burlesque Dita Von Teese joined us under the covers. From candidly spilling some of her most notorious Hollywood feuds to the lifelong impacts of our first loves, Dita unapologetically puts it all out there. She opens up about being a child of divorce, her early days working at a strip club, asking for ‘financial apologies’, and shares the personal decisions that shaped her colorful life – including her choice to not have children. She gave unbelievable advice on how to rediscover and get comfortable with our sexuality, and shared what it’s like to have people feel entitled to your body just because you exude sexual confidence.

This week, host of the Everything Iconic podcast, New York Times bestselling author, and the Vixen to my Blitzen, Danny Pellegrino joined us in bed! Danny and I packed a record-breaking amount of Holiday cheer and fear into this conversation: from family dysfunction and a *very* rude celebrity Danny thinks should be placed on the naughty list, to the hard parts of this season that get overlooked–the loneliness, the nostalgia, the longing for things to be different. Danny also opened up about coming out on Thanksgiving, his history of disordered eating, his battle with depression and the parts of him he kept hidden for years. Ho, Ho, Ho baby!!! We’ll see you back with new episodes January 9th. I’m always just a text/DM away and I’ll be missing you like crazy, so please reach out if you feel like it! Thank you for another unbelievable year of LFB, I couldn’t have done any of it without you and I don’t know how I got so lucky to have this magical community. xxx CALL/TEXT THE LFB HOTLINE: ‪(341) 529-1604‬ Click here to subscribe to my newsletter BedCrumbs!
