• #200 Identity Crisis & The Evolution of "Mr. Jean"
    Jul 25 2024

    Another 100 episodes, another milestone. I'm diving internally and giving you the latest on the goings on in my life! First off, I talk about catching the entertainment bug and discovering my identity (in terms of career) but also how I, foolishly, thought my identity and purpose was being taken from me. Next, growing up to fill the role of adulthood and becoming "Mr. Jean." But that title are big shows to fill. How can I deal with all the weight of becoming "Mr. Jean" when all I ever saw myself as is "Martini?" Dilemmas Dilemmas. Tune in to hear the whole story.

  • #198 Peter Peter, People Pleaser: Are You Giving to Give or Giving in to Guilt?
    Jul 11 2024

    A troublesome habit of mine, to say the least, is when to say no. What can I say? I'm a friend and I love to give. BUT is there more to it then just genuinity? Is it a battle between guilt and gesture? Being friendly or begging for friendship? Trying to fill a void or avoiding what's really goin on inside? Regardless of the origin, I ask myself the question and take a deep dive into seeing what's up with the notion of People Pleasing.

    I also pull out Card #183 with another edition of The Skin Deep's {The And} 'Self Edition' card game. Today's card question is: "List 5 experiences I must have before I die."

  • #197 MAFS s17 e26 - Denver Reunion (Pt. 3): Where Are They Now?
    Apr 25 2024

    It's been NINE MONTHS since Decision Day, so things MUST have changed amongst the cast right? *Ugh*

    The internet has been going at Chloe and also she believes one (or more) of the wives have been bad mouthing about her via a fake account. She's also heard rumblings that Lauren was trying to get with Michael (by suggestion of the MAFS internet community) and she wasn't too happy about that. Orion is finally leaving Lauren alone and trying to heal the struggle with himself, Austin finally gives us a reason as to why he never advanced sexually with Becca, the barbie brigade gets matching tattoos and donate their wedding dresses and Michael, Chloe, Austin and his roommate have a double date to bring and end to this very tumultuous season.

    I also pull out Card #182 with another edition of The Skin Deep's {The And} 'Self Edition' card game. Today's card question is: "What is the lesson life is teaching me at this point in time?"

  • #195 MAFS s17 e24 - Denver Reunion (Pt. 1)
    Apr 13 2024

    The gang's all here, albeit different from any other reunion in the history of this show. Why are the seats arranged in a Boys vs Girls fashion? Why are the women wearing pink? Did they just see the Barbie movie? Why does everyone have a scowl on their face ready to pounce on the other at a moment's notice? This season had its fair share of drama, but what gets unraveled here, no one saw coming and this season by far is the most controversial season ever and goes against everything this show stands for. Tune in and hear what happens next!

    I also pull out Card #180 with another edition of The Skin Deep's {The And} 'Self Edition' card game. Today's card question is: "If I were to die right now which three people would I most like to meet in an afterlife and why?"

  • #194 MAFS s17 e23 - Second Time's A Charm
    Apr 12 2024

    4 Days until Decision Day Part 2!! Chloe feels that Michael is going to say no and if he does, she said it would be hard to live life without him. But deep down she feels they aren't meant to be.

    19 Days after DD part 1, the cold crew decide to meet and hang and reminiscence about the "good" times. The women declare that they came into this experiment ready to make the marriages work and the guys (they claim) didn't come with the same intensity. 2 days after that exchange the women (sans Chloe) did a boudoir shoot reclaiming their womenhood and beauty.
