Serena Kerrigan is a creator, author and the "Queen of Confidence" who turned dating 50 men blind on Instagram Live into Let's F***ing Date, a card game, sold-out live events and a community of over a million, and whose first book, Let's F*cking Date: Become the Prize, Enjoy the Ride, and Never Settle Again, is out now.

In this episode, she and Rivki talk about why every person is born confident and how talking to yourself in the mirror like your best friend changes the way you see yourself, the moment her mom pointed out that the men she kept choosing were emotionally unavailable, and the dating habits that quietly signal a lack of self-worth. They also discuss why her mom never let her call her a friend, what 50 blind dates taught her about values over checklists, why the anxiety you feel with the wrong person may be your body knowing before your mind, why "I'm too busy" can be a defense against rejection, and her favorite New York date spots.

Christina Elezaj is a fashion and beauty creator who made the leap from a full-time corporate job at LinkedIn to building her own platform and brand, including a capsule collection with Revolve.

In this episode, she and Rivki talk about her winding path from a biology major and medical career track to marketing at LinkedIn to full-time content creation, why persistence and work ethic have been the throughline across every job she’s held, and the reality of burnout and the behind-the-scenes work that goes into being a creator. They also discuss finding a personal style that’s authentically yours instead of chasing trends, how she uses AI as a tool but never for anything personal, and what it really means to build a loyal community instead of just growing a following.

They also discuss meeting her husband Wells on Raya and what made her know he was serious, the importance of not internalizing rejection or comparison in this industry, and her honest take on personal style, trends, and New York City favorites.

They also discuss her leadership philosophy rooted in joy rather than fear, the scrappy early days of building a brand with almost no budget, and the one piece of advice she'd give her younger self about scaling operations.

Claudia Oshry is the host of The Toast, one of the most loyal and joyful communities in podcasting. In this episode, she gets surprisingly real about the version of herself she had to let go of when she became a mom, and why she has never been happier about it.

2. ​The GLP-1 journey: why she kept it private for months, why she believes medical privacy is non-negotiable, and what finally made her share
3. ​Her low-lift wellness philosophy: cycle syncing, gut health, and why she thinks most of wellness culture is a grift
4. ​The life cycle of a troll, her Chappell Roan take, and what celebrities actually owe their fans

Francesca Tighinean is a psychology educator, content creator, and future Hay House author who has built one of the most engaged communities in the psychology space by sharing the things most people are thinking but not saying out loud. In this episode, she makes it very hard to look at your relationships or your loneliness the same way again.

We get into:

1. Why anxiously attached people are actually covert avoiders, and how the fear of abandonment causes you to unconsciously choose partners who can never give you real intimacy

2. What self-sabotage actually is: a younger, wounded part of you that does not want what you consciously say you want, and what it takes to talk to that part

3. Why understanding your patterns is not the same as healing them, and why real change has to happen in the body not just the mind

4. The specific reasons so many people are lonelier than ever: technology removing the need for human contact, lost social skills, and a self-first culture quietly costing us our closest relationships

5. Why the de-centering movement and hyper-rigid boundaries might be reinforcing the very patterns they are trying to heal

If you have ever felt like you want deep connections but cannot seem to hold on to them, this episode is for you.

We talk about:– the salmon DNA injection that went wrong before her wedding and what she wishes she'd known– which lasers actually deliver (Clear & Brilliant, BBL, Fraxel) and how to know where to start– budget skincare that works vs. where it's actually worth spending– converting to Orthodox Judaism twice — the first time alone, before she ever met her husband– what building an authentic content career really looks like behind the feed

Jenn Sherman is one of Peloton's first-ever instructors, a cycling icon who has been leading riders for over 13 years and recently turned her focus to what she calls the Back Nine Era: redefining strength, longevity, and midlife fitness for women. She and Rivki talk about why cardio alone stops being enough in midlife, what her Back Nine Era mindset really means for how women should be moving and fueling their bodies, and why she now spends five days a week lifting weights instead of riding. They also get into the reality of navigating menopause: the mood shifts, disrupted sleep, and bone density wake-up calls nobody warned her about; and why Jenn believes this chapter of life is less about declining and more about pivoting into the strongest version of yourself yet.

In this episode, she and Rivki talk about the decision to intentionally share her life online and navigating criticism that she "glorifies motherhood" by not filming tantrums, why she teaches her kids about their privilege instead of hiding it from them, and the isolating experience of becoming a content creator when no one in your real life understands what you're doing. They also discuss setting boundaries with what her kids share about their friends, the fast-paced culture of raising kids in New York City, and how going viral by accident turned into an empowering career she built while still being fully present for her family.
