  • My Fave Pod

    Edit: she just full on insulted a fan who wrote in to the pod with a question. This person was clearly feeling vulnerable and needed some sort of support or gentle guidance Iliza was just flat out rude. She told the person she was bad at her job multiple times which is very hurtful considering the person said they were working very hard at their job.

    Iliza is THE BEST! This is my all-time favorite podcast. I love Iliza’s candor. She is direct and to the point but also compassionate at the same ... more

  • My can’t-miss podcast

    I love this podcast and listen every week. It is fantastic in equal measure when it comes to Iliza and Emily’s banter/humor and Iliza’s thoughtful advice. Although we are the same age, Iliza seems to have lived many lifetimes given the wit and wisdom she is able to bring to every situation. She encourages people to fight for what they want or need while also counseling empathy and giving others the benefit of the doubt. I encourage everyone to listen!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Am I Allowed To Be Angry?
Q: From KP. Eight weeks after a breakup, what's the best way to move on when they're still in the emotional space you had imagined with them?
Honest, direct guidance is to go through the process of grieving, block the ex to regain control, and slowly build a future plan for yourself that doesn't hinge on that person; you'll come out the other side even if it feels impossible now.
The Office Is Open
Q: How do you manage work-life balance when moving to a fully remote role?
Develop a routine with designated work hours, a dedicated workspace, and explicit boundaries to protect personal time, while maintaining visibility with your team. Build relationships through intentional, concise communication and regular check-ins.
A Trillion Women This Year Have Done It
Q: Should we drop my husband's family? How could that happen?
The host frames a complicated family dynamic, urges setting firm boundaries, and suggests practical steps like scheduling, clear itineraries, and possibly stepping back from involvement with the problematic family members to protect the bride's peace.
We Really Do Put Thought Into This
Q: Is this the hill on which the marriage dies, or is this a temporary rough patch?
Yes, this is the hill; without therapy and real changes, the marriage is at risk of ending, and the listener should consider demanding a serious come-to-Jesus talk or potentially moving toward divorce if her needs aren't met.
Nude Jobs
Q: What does 30-minute turnaround mean for the nursing job and how should it affect the personal boundary with the nurse staying over?
It means a strict on-call requirement, and the listener should communicate a firm limit, suggesting an alternative arrangement (hotel or different schedule) while stressing the importance of privacy and rest.
