Mostly Dating

Welcome back! This week we’re talking all about the things no one told you about sex, female masturbation, and how to have an orgasm. And who better to have than conversation with than Remy Kassimir! Remy is a comedian and host of hit podcast How Cum, which she started at 27 on a quest to have her first orgasm. Remy opens up about how she felt when she realized she had never had an orgasm, and what eventually helped her (and over 1,000 of her listeners) get there. We talk about why the female orgasm is so complex, how to talk to your partner (and your therapist!) about it, and why we need to all be a little more open when talking about sex and masturbation. You can find Remy on Instagram @remykassimir and listen to her podcast @howcumpodcast everywhere you can listen to podcasts!  How Cum Episodes we mentioned: Episode 3 with Dr. Helen Fisher and Episode 24 with John Fugelsang & Christian Finnegan Mostly Balanced Episodes we mentioned: Episode 14 with Kolby & Alex on Holistic Health & the Power of Sex What we're trying this week: Carleigh's Pick: Sunday Riley clean, cruelty-free skincare  Mia's Pick: Smart sweets As always, find us on Instagram @mostlybalancedpodcast and on our blog.

Welcome back! This MINISODE is all about ending friendships. Ending a friendship can be just as painful as (if not not more than) ending a romantic relationship - and just as we have expectations for people we date, we should have expectations for our friendships. We talk about why it’s normal for friendships to shift and change and share our own experiences “breaking up” with or just growing apart from friends.

Welcome back! Today we’re joined by Jonah Feingold & Ilana Dunn, hosts of the Seeing Other People podcast. Jonah and Ilana met on a dating app, went out a few times, and eventually decided not to date - but to start a podcast instead. Today they’re sharing the full story of their first date, why it didn’t work out, and how their impressions of each other have changed since they’d first met.  We also hear their opinions on classic dating rules, if “bad timing” is just an excuse, treating dating as a “game”, and why being self aware is so important in the dating world. Plus, Jonah tells all about a new girl in his life and weighs in on whether or not it’s a good idea to put “all your eggs in one basket”. You can find Jonah & Ilana on Instagram @ilana.dunn @jonahfeingold and @seeingotherpeople where you can actually take out a personal ad on their Instagram if you’re looking to meet someone serious.  What we're trying this week: Carleigh's Pick: Dimple Dating App Mia's Pick: Sarah Brooks Pilates As always, find us on Instagram @mostlybalancedpodcast and on our blog.  Thanks for joining us and please leave a rating or review if you enjoyed the episode!

Welcome back! Today we are joined by Katie Sands, Amazon On-Air Style Host and the face behind Instagram account @honestlykate. Katie opens up about how she started her Instagram as a way to share her favorite outfits with her friends and family, and how it eventually grew to a lifestyle destination for over 285 thousand people. What began as a fashion-only account now encompasses so many areas of her life: from mental health to workouts, and other pieces of her day-to-day routine. Katie is breaking the mold by continuously partnering only with brands who's values align with her own.  Since the start of COVID, she has made it a point that each of her partnerships have a charitable aspect, and she is mindful to create content that will resonate with people from all different financial backgrounds. As her name states, her brand is honest and authentic and chatting with her truly feels like catching up with a friend.  As someone who is constantly in the public eye, Katie typically keeps her family life and her relationships pretty separate, as a way to hold boundaries for herself and to respect the boundaries of the people in her life. We were lucky to hear some backstory of her current relationship - how they met, why she didn't want him to follow her account in the beginning, and a bit about what it was like dating in NYC with such a public career on social media. She also shares her advice on how to meet someone, what outfit to wear on a first date, and what her must-have quality is in a significant other.  You can find Katie on Instagram @honestlykate or head over to her blog iamhonestlykate.com where you can shop her favorite looks, including her capsule collection she created with Phat Buddha -  keep an eye out for Spring styles soon!  What we're trying this week:  Carleigh's Pick: One Might Mill Bagels  Mia's Pick: Ted Lasso on AppleTV+  As always, find us on Instagram @mostlybalancedpodcast and on our blog.  Thanks for joining us and please leave a rating or review if you enjoyed the episode!

Do first dates make you nervous? On today's MINISODE, Carleigh is breaking down all the questions she loves to ask on first dates. We chat about how to rephrase common questions to keep the conversation flowing, and to dig a little bit deeper and find out if this person is someone you want to go on a second date with. We also share our thoughts on questions that we think should be saved for later dates, or maybe not asked at all. We give advice on how to ask questions about things you might not even realize you're looking for in a relationship. Some common questions we answer: Is asking about previous relationships ok on a first date? Is it bad if we talk about work the whole time? How early on should we ask about their intentions for the relationship? When should you bring up if you've been married and/or have kids? How do I keep the conversation flowing but also keep the topics light and fun? As always, find us on Instagram @mostlybalancedpodcast and on our blog.

Welcome back! This week we are joined by Alexa Cawley, Founder & CEO of Forever Friday Consulting and Host of The Friday Society podcast. Alexa shares how her career with companies like Lululemon and SoulCycle helped her see a gap when it came to marketing representation of small, boutique companies within the wellness industry. She ultimately decided to fill this gap with the launch of Forever Friday, where she takes on clients of all sizes, from business owners to fitness instructors - she helps her clients create content, navigate social media, etc., and arms then with the tools to get their business where they want it to be. This episode goes deep into how we've seen the fitness industry change over the last 10 years, specifically in NYC, first gradually and then abruptly in 2020 with the COVID19 pandemic. Alexa shares her favorite and least favorite wellness trends, her favorite way to sweat, what made her successful in the launch of her company, and what she thinks are the most important qualities in a fitness instructor today. We also talk about the importance of how bigger fitness companies like Peloton treat their employees, and how dating has changed in NYC during the same time period we've seen the fitness industry change. This episode is part of a swap with did with Alexa, and you can head to The Friday Society to listen to our episode and to check out her other amazing episodes with guests like Elizabeth & Dale of Sweats and the City, Alexandra Bonetti of TalentHack, and so many more!
