Jaime Revisits: Fighting Over Faith

Just in time for the holidays, we’re revisiting one of our all-time favorite episodes of Tell Me What to Do – Fighting Over Faith. At its very core, religion is about shared beliefs. Those beliefs can vary widely — like between Judaism and Islam — or largely overlap — like with Baptists and Methodists. Either way, disagreements over religion can be some of the hardest issues to resolve. In this episode, Jaime opens up about her religious journey from Judaism to Catholicism. Then, she answers questions from a listener who can’t agree with her partner about what religion to raise their children in, another who is struggling to come out as bisexual because of her faith, and a third who is fighting with her husband over what cemetery to be buried in.   FYI: Tell Me What to Do contains mature language and themes that may not be suitable for all listeners.   Please note, this show is hosted and produced by a team that does not have any clinical or other mental or physical health training.

Why We Love the Wrong People

The bad boys. The gossipy girls. The ones who won’t commit. The people who need “fixing.” When it comes to relationships, do you tend to gravitate towards a certain kind of person, only to have it blow up in your face time and time again? This week Jaime tries to understand why so many of us seem to always pick the wrong people to love and talks about her own patterns in both romantic and platonic love. Plus, listener questions about morphing into a people pleaser in relationships, trying to find the right person after a divorce, and recognizing an unhealthy pattern in friendships.   FYI: Tell Me What to Do contains mature language and themes that may not be suitable for all listeners.   Please note, this show is hosted and produced by a team that does not have any clinical or other mental or physical health training.

Parenting: The Kids Weigh In

In our second episode on parenting, we hear from some real live kids! Jaime calls on her two oldest, Olivia and Max, to help her answer listener questions (and some of her own). While the three of them do a great job answering these questions, the in-between moments give us a hilarious, close-up, and endearing look into Jaime’s most important role: mom.

Parenting From Fear

Being a parent involves a lot of joy and love, but let’s be honest, it’s also scary as hell. And we get better instructions for installing a dishwasher than we do for raising a human being. In the first of two episodes about parenting, Jaime gets into the fears she has as a mom. Plus, a listener who is concerned about her child’s mental health, another who is afraid of repeating mistakes she feels her mother made with her, and someone who worries her child will never leave the house.  FYI: Tell Me What to Do contains mature language and themes that may not be suitable for all listeners.

The Freedom in Forgiveness

On paper, forgiveness seems pretty simple — someone hurts you, they ask for forgiveness, you grant it, onwards and upwards. In reality? It can be a whole other story. This week Jaime talks about how forgiveness is as hard as it is important. And she answers listener questions about forgiving a parent, forgiving a spouse, and forgiving oneself.

Couple Disputes

Arguing is an inevitable, even healthy, part of life with a partner. The disagreements can be small (you don’t agree on the best way to load the dishwasher) or they can be big (one of you wants to take a job across the country and the other wants to stay put). And they can be anywhere in between. This week Jaime talks about the ground rules she and Michael have for their disagreements. Then she chats with a woman who isn’t on the same page as her husband about having another child after miscarrying their triplets. Plus, a wife who wants to take an occasional vacation vs a husband who wants to save money. And a husband who can’t tell if his wife really wants to bring a friend into their bedroom.   FYI: Tell Me What To Do contains mature language and themes that may not be suitable for all listeners.   Please note, this show is hosted and produced by a team that does not have any clinical or other mental or physical health training.

Bisexuality or Bust

Bisexuality has slowly become more recognized and in the mainstream, but that doesn’t make it any less confusing. Internally, there’s a LOT going on and externally, it may not always feel safe to ask questions. But don’t worry, because Jaime is here. In this episode, she shares her own journey around her bisexuality. She also encourages a listener to explore her bisexual side before tying the knot in her hetero, monogamous relationship and gives advice to a listener in her 50s who isn’t comfortable talking with her family about her bisexuality.  FYI: Tell Me What To Do contains mature language and themes that may not be suitable for all listeners.

Body Dysmorphia and Company

If you struggle with body image issues, you aren’t alone. A recent study found 20%-40% of women are dissatisfied with their bodies. And of course there is a spectrum; wishing your nose was a little smaller is very different than having multiple rhinoplasties to “fix” it. This week Jaime gets into her history with body dysmorphia and disordered eating and chats with a listener who finds herself slipping back into her old eating disorder habits.

This is Gaslighting

"I'm sorry you feel that way." "You're overreacting." "You're acting crazy." These are some of the most commonly used gaslighting phrases. This week, Jaime defines gaslighting and answers a listener’s question about how narcissism and gaslighting are related.

There are plenty of life changes you can’t see coming. Having your kids grow up and leave the nest isn’t one of those changes, yet it still throws so many people for a loop. Jaime’s advice: don’t wait til they start studying for the SATs to plan for life after kids. She answers a question from a mom who feels lost now that her kids aren’t at home.

She calls up a listener who was the other woman, just got contacted again by the guy, and doesn’t know what to do.

After the Affair

Some people absolutely know they would leave if their partner cheated on them. Think “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood, for example. This episode is not for those people. In the first of two episodes about cheating, Jaime talks about the tough decision to stay in a relationship after infidelity. She calls up a listener who is struggling to break down the walls she put up after her husband had an affair. Plus, listener questions about keeping your partner’s infidelity a secret from friends and family and trying to get past the pain to a place of trust again.  FYI: Tell Me What To Do contains mature language and themes that may not be suitable for all listeners.

The Bad Girl Phase

There’s a difference between having a bad girl phase and being a bad girl. Having a bad girl phase can help you figure out who you are and what you like and don’t like. But it’s not a hall pass to treat people poorly or be reckless. This week Jaime talks about her evolution from The Jersey Devil, as she was known, to a wife and mom who still feels the bad girl pull.

Career Crossroads

The line between what you do and who you are is getting more and more blurry. Work used to be something you did for a paycheck. Now, it’s how many of us define ourselves. And the pandemic has only made things more confusing. Millions have lost their jobs. Many of us are now working from home. Essential workers are more essential than ever before.

Cutting Ties - Family Estrangement and Abandonment

Society tells us that family bonds are unbreakable -- that your sister should be your best friend, that you should call your mom several times a day just to chat. Well it's great when life works out like that. But the truth is, that often isn't the case. This week Jaime tackles the difficult topic of family estrangement with the help of therapist Melanie Storrusten. They go in-depth on Jaime’s own struggles with her mom and siblings -- which she traces back to the death of her dad when she was 17 years old -- and answer questions from listeners. Is it possible to cut off your mom without hurting her? What should you do if other people in your family shame you for creating boundaries for yourself? Plus, how to talk about your family in social situations if you are estranged from them. FYI: Tell Me What To Do contains mature language and themes that may not be suitable for all listeners. Please note, this show is hosted and produced by a team that does not have any clinical or other mental or physical health training.

Secrets and Lies

We all have secrets. Some are small. Some are life-altering. Sometimes they’re about you; other times, someone else. Regardless, secrets are all around us and rarely talked about because….well, they’re secret. This week Jaime talks about the emotional toll of keeping secrets. She shares what it was like to go on a reality show and realize all her secrets weren’t going to be secrets anymore and answers questions from listeners. Should you tell your friend her husband is cheating? Should you tell your husband a secret about your own sexuality?

Loss and Grief

Most people are comfortable talking about death, but struggle with the aftermath – grief. As a society, we don’t give it the space, time, or messiness it deserves. As today’s guest says, people don’t want you to “get your sad on other people.” But talking about it is one way we can make it less awful. And if you can do the talking while laughing? Even better. This week Jaime is joined by Nora McInerny, author and host of the podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking. They bond over their shared losses – both Jaime and Nora lost their fathers and experienced miscarriages – and offer advice to people who are in the thick of grieving someone or something. Plus, listener questions about staying in a marriage after the death of a child and grieving an incarcerated son. FYI: Tell Me What To Do contains mature language and themes that may not be suitable for all listeners. Please note, this show is hosted and produced by a team that does not have any clinical or other mental or physical health training.

The Ripple Effects of Addiction

Today, we are breaking the mold on a topic that touches everyone in some way: addiction. And it isn’t limited to drugs and alcohol like we’ve always thought. We can have addictions to food, sex, technology, work. The list of compulsive behaviors that yield potentially negative consequences is endless. This week Jaime is joined by Dr. Nzinga Harrison, a psychiatrist, addiction specialist, and host of the podcast In Recovery, who takes the shame out of the conversation and might just change the way you think about addiction forever. Jaime opens up about her lifelong struggle with body dysmorphia and gets a new perspective on her past history with cocaine. Together, they answer questions about what to do if your partner has a severe addiction and how to determine if you can live with the consequences of someone’s addiction. FYI: Tell Me What To Do contains mature language and themes that may not be suitable for all listeners. Please note, this show is hosted and produced by a team that does not have any clinical or other mental or physical health training.
