Galentine’s Day is on the 13th of February, and I asked Jessica Painter founder of In Her Circle to join me. Jessica has created a community that helps women fight loneliness and build authentic, supportive friend circles. Jessica and I discuss the importance of having a solid squad, and how to celebrate the bonds of sisterhood not just on February 13th but every day of the year.

Aly Pain is back to discuss the teens in our lives and how could we not take a look at teen love. Before you dismiss it as puppy love it’s important to pause and take their romantic relationships seriously. Parents can help their child navigate this important stage of development and set the foundation for healthy relationships in the future simply by practicing empathy and listening with an open mind.

Anne Brodie pops in with new entertainment which includes the documentary The Eye Has to Travel about the iconic fashion legend Diana Vreeland available on Amazon Prime now, also available on Prime is Somebody I Used to Know, starring Alison Brie who also who co-wrote the film with her husband and director Dave Franco, which has a sly new twist for a leading lady in a romantic movie , plus The Love Club on W just in time for the hopeless romantics out there.

Singles Day falls on the 15th of February, and there has been loads of evidence presented lately that says that unmarried, childless women are the happiest subgroup of the population. Yet as we approach Valentine’s Day there is a societal pressure put on the single ladies. So I called on Nora Spinks, CEO of Work-Life Harmony Enterprises, to join me to discuss the stigma of singleism, why unmarried and childless women are so darn happy, and how to avoid some of the loneliness that single women may feel.

Dating after divorce is about as enticing as a root canal. It can be daunting jumping back in the dating game after a long marriage, and believe me when I say everything you know about dating has changed. Nadine Araksi has your back. Nadine has personally experienced the difficulties of navigating the dating scene, written about her experience for Chatelaine, and joined me with Chapter 2 Dating for an extended podcast on this subject. If you’re currently thinking about throwing yourself back in the dating ring, listen to this interview first.

Finally, I don’t even know what to say about the fact that along with celebrating Galentine’s Day, Valentine’s Day and Single’s Day this week, there is also National Poop Day coming up on February 13th. Perhaps I should have put this at the Number 2 segment in today’s show? Either way Dr. Ashley Margeson joins me for a couple of laughs but some serious info about your health and how a lot of how you’re doing starts with taking a good look at why you leave in the bowl. Oh, c’mon we all do it.
