New Episode out Now!! https://youtu.be/igHvb3pJYEs

It's our SILVER ANNIVERSARY! 🥂✨ Twenty-five years ago, I said "I do". And today, I am celebrating the best decision I ever made.

In this special episode, I'm exploring all five essentials from my book — Why Am I Yelling? Because...Relationships! — through the lens of what it actually takes to keep a marriage alive, thriving, and real across 25 years. We're talking about:

💬 Communication — why two different communicators can still build a beautiful life

💕 Intimacy — the kind Hollywood doesn't show you (and why familiarity is actually everything)

🤝 Respect — the non-negotiable that keeps two people growing instead of competing

🚧 Boundaries — the essential that can make or break you

🫶 Support — presence without agenda, and why it's the one you can't fake

🎙 NEW EPISODE! 🚨 Link In Bio

Asking for help is NOT a weakness. It's a superpower. And "can't"? It's my least favorite word — because most of the time, it's just fear wearing a disguise. 💜

This week on Why Am I Yelling, we're going ALL IN on the four-letter word that changed my life: HELP.

I'm sharing the wedding anniversary breakdown story that cracked everything open, why so many of us were conditioned to do it all alone, and what actually happens when we finally let people in.

⏱️ WHAT WE COVER:
- why this episode exists
- The anniversary breakdown (my origin story)
- 4 reasons we refuse to ask for help
- Why "can't" is my least favorite word (and what to say instead)
- 5 reasons asking for help is actually everything
- How to actually do it: practical steps that work
- Your homework

💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Asking for help builds real intimacy — you're giving someone the gift of being needed
• "Can't" is usually "won't" or "scared to" — and that distinction changes everything
• Doing it all alone is a health risk, not a virtue (especially in perimenopause 🫠)
• Modeling help-seeking might be the most important thing you teach your kids

🎙️ Why Am I Yelling? is the podcast for middle-aged, menopausal moms who are done pretending they have it all together. New episodes every week. Subscribe so you never miss one.

🔥 INCOMING!! 🔥 link in bio!!

This week's episode was sparked by a single dinner-table question from my 14-year-old: "Mom, where do you get your confidence?" What followed was a whole conversation — and now a whole episode — about why some of us move through the world with curiosity instead of caution, why strangers are fascinating and not intimidating, and what it really means to be confident (hint: it has nothing to do with never being nervous).

We talk server introductions, weak-tie connections, the neuroscience of warmth, pants — yes, pants — and what I actually want my kid to take into the world with him.

Topics Covered
• The dinner moment that started it all
• Where fascination with human behavior comes from
• 'We all put our pants on one leg at a time' — unpacked
• The psychology and neuroscience of human connection
• What confidence ACTUALLY is (not what movies told you)
• How menopause accidentally made me bolder
• 5 practical ways to lead with curiosity
• A love note to the teenager who asked the best question

⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussion of sexual violence, drugging, and online exploitation. Intended for adult listeners.

🎙NEW EPISODE OUT NOW! 🚨 link in bio.

In March 2026, CNN published a months-long investigation into what a French lawmaker called "an online r**e academy" — a hidden network of men sharing techniques to drug and assault women, trade videos, and livestream abuse. The story has been circulating with a headline figure of 62 million views that is both alarming and slightly misrepresented — and in this episode, I break down what CNN actually found, why the clarification makes it MORE disturbing, not less, and what we can all do about it.

This is not a rant. This is a teaching moment — with real statistics, real survivor stories, and a real roadmap for the good men and good people in all of our lives.

I love you ❤️

📊 WE COVER:
→ What CNN's investigation actually uncovered
→ The truth behind the "62 million" number
→ Current U.S. statistics on sexual violence (CDC 2023/2024 data)
→ Why reporting rates remain critically low
→ 6 concrete ways men can show up as allies — TODAY
