It's Love Fest time! 🎉 Today Shandy is joined by a Bachelor Nation POWER COUPLE who has been married for nearly a year.

It's Love Fest time! 🎉 Today is our second ever in-person Love Fest and an absolutely epic one! You watched them meet and get engaged on Paradise S7, and now 2 years later, Bachelor Power Couple® Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt join us in the living room to dissect the ins and outs of their relationship. Today Joe and Serena share their honest first impressions of each other—in Serena's eyes, was Joe in fact the "George Clooney" of Bachelor Nation we described him to be? They get specific with adjectives about each other (yay!), discuss how and when the 11 year age difference rears its head, unpack the early hurdle that took time to overcome, and of course, describe how they fight! This episode is loaded with goodies including Serena and Sharleen's biggest City Hall regret and the surprising ways in which the native Chicagoan and native New Yorker are similar. Finally, a Newlyweds Game that is heavy on "OR"s but not remotely lacking on fun! Who knows who better? Watch on to find out!

Today's Hot Topic conversation is great for just about anybody, but *especially* those who have considered therapy but haven't pulled the trigger for whatever reason (accessibility, cost, finding the right match...)! Our guest, Owen O'Kane, is an acclaimed London-based psychotherapist and the best selling author of Ten Times Happier, Ten to Zen, and most recently, How To Be Your Own Therapist. But that's not all! Before pursuing psychotherapy, Owen spent a decade working with the dying as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Palliative Care, which we think adds a unique dimension to his perspective. Needless to say, he is abundantly qualified to help us tackle the journey of self-therapy today! Today, beyond sharing his own personal story of self acceptance, Owen discusses what drives us, victim mentality, gratitude, tips for handling our anxious episodes, what 10 minutes of self therapy a day looks like, and what "The Goal" of therapy even is (happiness? meaning??). Last but not least, Andy picks Owen's brain after his experience working in Palliative Care—what did caring for the dying on a daily basis teach him? This episode has a little something for everyone and even includes a peek into Andy's own thoughts and fears. Whether you consider "therapy" a dirty word or part of your regular vernacular, you won't want to miss this chat!
