Episode Description from the Publisher

Nina Parker is one of those people who walks into a room and owns it. She's hosted TMZ Live, co-hosted E! News, and is now co-hosting Keep It on Crooked Media. But what you really need to know is that she is one of the most honest, grounded, and genuinely funny women I have met in a long time.We started talking about grief, because that's just what happens when two women who have been through real loss sit down together. And we never really stopped going deep. We got into perimenopause and why the medical system is failing women on this (doctors get ONE hour of certification?), being confidently child-free in a world that still doesn't fully accept that, dating in your 40s and why it can actually be kind of amazing, standing up to online trolls with zero apology, and what it looks like to choose yourself, fully, without explanation.Nina gives real advice unapologetically. This one is a must listen.Thank you to Flav City for sponsoring this episode. Learn more at shopflavcity.com.Follow Kelly at @kellyrizzoFollow Nina at @theninaparker Hosted on Acast.
