Tuesday, September 2, 2025 ⢠Duration 59:00
I'm joined by my friend, fashion designer and founder of Maison Des Nus, Balim Tezel. We talk about what itâs like to build a life from scratchâmoving to the U.S. for college, creating a chosen family in NYC, and launching the brand she dreamed of since childhood. Balim shares what dating for the first time in her twenties taught her about herself and what she was looking for, how she unexpectedly met her boyfriend Vinnie, and how his steady support helped her navigate the isolation of being far from home, especially during the four years she couldnât leave the U.S. while waiting for her green card.

Recovering From Infidelity: Can Love Survive Betrayal?
Tuesday, August 19, 2025 ⢠Duration 55:41
What really happens after someone cheatsâand is there ever a way back? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Monique Thompson, a licensed psychotherapist, bestselling author of the Infidelity Recovery Workbook for Couples. She reveals why âgoing back to the way it wasâ is never the goal, how to know if your discomfort is about your partner or your own unresolved past, and the science-backed number of minutes it actually takes to heal betrayal trauma (spoiler: itâs fewer than you think). Her no-nonsense, non-judgmental approach will completely change the way you think about cheating, trust, and whatâs possible on the other side.
