Today we are revisiting one of my fav episodes, with Sarah Hoover talking all about her incredible memoir, "The Motherload: Episodes From The Brink Of Motherhood". We have an honest conversation about the life-changing experience of motherhood, while pushing back against the rosy narrative we’ve been sold. Whether you are a mom, about to become a mom, or thinking about becoming a mom, this episode is for you!
I have survived Coachella and transporting a singular cat across the country, and as I recover mentally and physically, I was in no way prepared for the headlining call today. A woman calls and asks the age old question, "to send a hey girly text or not ?". I rarely (if ever) say yes, but in this case I make an exception. You need to hear this less than mediocre man story to believe it!
As promised here is a special release of Office Hours on a Monday! This week I welcome my friend, NYT best-selling author, social media creator, and open book Jake Cohen. Jake has written books about food, has a show about food, his social media focuses on food, but this conversation is about all things dating. From the gay dating scene, orgies, and exclusive clubs, to the simple and fundamental realization “if he isn’t obsessed with you, then what’s the point?”. We get into everything Jake is going through as a single man in the scene.
I know you are expecting an Office Hours episode today, BUT I couldn't wait until Monday to talk about the "White Lotus" finale. Everyone is breaking down every turn & outcome, but what I am obsessed with is the female friendship storyline. I take these three women who I have loved watching so much (flaws & all), and apply my theories to them.
Real Housewives of Atlanta, tariffs, and a touch of White Lotus finale (check out Fridays ep for a full react). Then into your calls including dealing with dangerous men, cheating men, and men with anti-women sentiments. Just another live show!
Coachella is upon us, and I couldn't be more excited to get out to the desert. Every year I wonder if I want to go back the following year, and I found out the answer is always YES, I do. Also I haven't done it in a while so I am bringing you some of my favorite products, places, and things from the month of March.
I have been talking about doing this episode for a while, so I am finally happy to bring you the friendship episode. Who better to join me than my real life bestie, Jyoti! We are talking the splinter era, kids, distance, and every single factor/pressure we feel as women on our friendships later in life. It doesn't matter at what age or what the circumstances are there is no excuse to not show up for a friend, and we want everyone to know it!
Some stuff you will learn today if you didn't already know about me. I hate bad texters, I am into season 3 of "White Lotus", and I love a potato in most every form. Also some AMA from you including a bridesmaid who feels uncomfortable about the amount of trash a fellow bridesmaid is talking about her, how to re-ignite the crush list, and more!
Just some of the usuals at the top including carbs & birth control. Then I get into something that I feel very strongly about, the social media groups "Are We Dating the Same Guy?". I am vehemently opposed to them, they do us women no good, and they never work the way we intend them to against horrible men. That said let this be a reminder, living well is truly the best revenge.
Back by popular demand, it is my bestie, my ride or die, my go to for a Tuesday night martini....PIG! We had so much fun the first time, that I welcome Pig back for round 2. We play a fun game in which we decide if we are hooking up with a potential suitor or running far far away. Then give you a peak behind the curtain of our weird, wild, and incredible friendship.
Well I haven't said it too many times, BUT we have a first! We start off with a caller who works for a major corporation in which hugging is prevalent. She explains not only between friends and co-workers, but direct reports and managers, HUGGING....AT WORK! Oh and some outfit suggestions for a rage weekend in Miami, and a 22 year old who is deciding whether to take the leap of faith and move to NY.
My new book "Hotter in the Hamptons" is coming out on May 6th, and I can't wait for you all to read it. In todays episode I explain why I decided to write this book. This is my first fiction novel, so I take you through how I came up with the idea, all the way up through it's completion. https://tinxworld.com/pages/hotter-in-the-hamptons https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/tinxworld.com/pages/hotter-in-the-hamptons__;!!NUnUjx3wvH5xgA!dF6PgLYEvi2_alWhmoyqUI4D_13LooCeOviPGVj4xo1CEnn5QwjdF2ZGo21l0rJX_-rwXBHYCM5HUbPX6U5_lM6r$
When your best friend asks for a redo guesting appearance, you give it to him. Today I welcome Lucas for his second appearance on the pod. No one knows me better than him and we discuss dating, doggy, DJ'ing, and more. So here is hoping you love this episode as much I did recording it....because I don't know if I will let him back for a 3rd try.
I couldn't be more excited for this IRL taping with an audience filled with girls from the team. Shoutout to Patron for sponsoring this incredible event. I love meeting you all, and the idea that we got to have some drinks while doing it? ALL THE BETTER! Enjoy the show, and even more to come, love you all dearly.
Hey all I am so pumped to get away to Miami this weekend, thanks to everyone who DM'ed Pig and forced him into joining me! Todays show brought a heart breaking call from a woman who's BF of 3 years was using some down right nasty tactics to end things. I do what I can to convince her to forget closure, and cut ties. I genuinely can't wait for an update months from now when I know she will be thriving. Oh and some wedding etiquette, fatal flaw friend theory to round it all out.
Soooo, I am a touch hungover after taping my live event with an incredible group of listeners. Shoutout again to Patron for putting it together, and the bonus episode drops this Thursday. Ok now onto what I want to talk about today. I have an article about a woman who caught her husband watching CORN, and she lost her mind. I weigh in on CORN and why it shouldn't necessarily be viewed as something negative.
This week I welcome editor in chief of Cosmo and Seventeen magazines, Willa Bennett. Willa and I bonded over pancakes in NYC, and this interview was a long time coming. She tells us what it is like to take on 2 of the most iconic titles in magazine publishing, especially how to deal with the celebrity talent she features. Oh and most importantly we bond over above all else, there is nothing more important than the girlie group chat.
I got an AMA on Instagram Monday that had my inbox blowing up. A girl said she was asked to sit out the remainder of a bachelorette party, and disinvited from the wedding for throwing up after a hard night of partying. I weighed in with the facts I had, but today someone else from the party called in to tell the other side of the story. It's a wild follow up!
Hey all I am coming to the end of my travels for work, and will be back THIS Wednesday for an all new live show! In the meantime take a listen to a couple of my favs from the past including being a better guest, and shining a light on the rom com men who are the worst!
As everyone knows I am a HUGE fan of Prof G and his podcast. Today I welcome his co-host Ed Elson. Ed is unlike any guest we have had on the pod before, as not only do we discuss some of our fav topics but he walks us through the world of finances. From crypto to home buying, Ed offers his immense knowledge to help us all try and get ahead.
Missing our weekly LIVE AMA, makes me sadder than I can put into words. I am away for work, but I promise I will be back next week ready to talk to all of you. In the meantime enjoy some callers from the past. Try not to miss me, as much as I miss all of you!
Spring is upon us and as we emerge from hibernation, "Self Worship Spring" is here! I am exploring 3 specific areas that I can focus on to improve myself as the weather warms up, and it's time to have some fun again!
You guys, manifestation works, and I can proof it...my guest today is JAY SHETTY! I love all my guests but Jay has been someone I visualized having on the pod even before I recorded my first episode. We talk through love, dating, meditating, and even get into Jay's "guilty pleasures".
The hook up box is NOT the place everyone wants to be, so I advise a caller that when he tells you you're in there, then recognize you are! I want you all to be in the situation you deserve, but please ladies, use the signs given!
I am giving you a mixed bag today a bit of the low brow, and a bit of the high brow. I first get you all caught up with my thoughts on the first two episodes of this seasons "Summer House", then discuss a great article I just read. "Should Our Partner Really Be Our Best Friend?" by Catherine Pearson is the main topic for today. Link to article: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/well/family/husband-wife-best-friend.html
It gets greater later (a little corny I know), and proof of that is my guest this week, the incredible Chelsea Handler. Chelsea is getting ready to turn 50 and hasn't slowed down a bit. We go deep talking her brand-new book, who/where brings her the most happiness, friendships, aging, etc. Oh, but don't worry we go shallow too talking all about the fun stuff that makes Chelsea tick. Order Chelsea's newest book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/723245/ill-have-what-shes-having-by-chelsea-handler/ https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/723245/ill-have-what-shes-having-by-chelsea-handler/__;!!NUnUjx3wvH5xgA!ZUY88ZqT1PLg2oExC4Gzl4aVsaN-YQJgxY7GJiwyt1oZxRcGPiZxTpHdfXzFGLR62BmhlpUztATo1TgK9pXMkd6i$
I start off the show discussing friendships in the "splinter era" and apparently that struck a chord in everyone listening out there, as you called in with your takes on friendship dynamics through the years. Advice is doled out to someone whose boyfriend threw up in her bed, and then proceeded to yell at her. We need to be better, especially to ourselves, and that starts with choosing the right partner. Finally weight loss and better self esteem are NOT mutually exclusive, as I talk to a caller who can't stop the negative self talk
Today I want to use a very recent “controversy” to help illustrate how we need to be better to one another as women. I speak it, I preach it, I practice it…women on women crime is at an all time high, and we need to do better.
This week holistic dating coach, Amy Nobile Messing takes us on a guided tour of all the good and bad of dating. We get some hard truths about chemistry, second dates, and what to shut about early on in the process. Then in a moment of vulnerability I open up my phone and hand over my dating profile to Amy, so she can give you a live play by play of what I myself am doing wrong. This episode is perfectly timed for V-Day, as all of us single out there need a reminder that the dating scene is scary, but it doesn't mean we should be down on ourselves!
I am coming to you with a special bonus episode of "It's Me, Tinx" as I welcomed in a live studio audience. We play games, we do some AMA, and most of all we get together IRL. Enjoy the show, and be on the lookout for more shows like this. Special thanks to Peacock and "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy" for making it all possible!
