Let's Tawk with Jaime Primak Sullivan

Adult Friendships

Tue, 02 Aug 2022 07:30:00 -0000

Thanks for tawking with me this season. For our final episode, I wanted to introduce you to one of my best friends. As an adult, it’s difficult to balance a career, kids, relationship, and social life. Add long distance to that list and the situation becomes harder to maintain. True friendships go through ups and downs yet still stand the test of time. What kind of friends are there and what purpose do they serve? How do you know when your friendship is worth the effort? Mary Sierra-Cordes and I tawk. But the conversation doesn’t end here.

Red Flags

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 07:30:00 -0000

Red flags – we’ve all seen them and ignored them. They creep into every part of our lives from our mental health to our relationships to our jobs. I’m guilty of not taking my own advice by letting things go unaddressed rather than facing my problems and having those hard but necessary conversations. What is this avoidance crisis leading to? What are common red flags? And what are some signs you might be dismissing them? Let’s tawk.

Financial Literacy

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 07:30:00 -0000

I’ve been hearing a lot of economic scare talk lately. And frankly, I struggle to understand half the words that come out of people’s mouths like recession, inflation and interest rates. It’s time to get financially literate so we can prepare for whatever comes our way. Are we really headed toward a recession or is the media just playing this up? How can I improve my money habits so I can save more and splurge less? Let’s tawk.

Jersey Belle

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 07:30:00 -0000

I was the face of a reality TV show that was unlike anything we see on Bravo nowadays. There was no cheating, dramatic arguments or face-slapping. In fact, this was a wholesome show about a Jersey girl navigating love in the South. My dear friend and Bravo executive Leslie Farrell was with me through the entire journey. How did I manage to get my pitch picked up by one of the top TV networks? What made this show a “fish out of water” idea? And why wasn’t it enough to bring the show back? Leslie Farrell and I tawk.

Body Insecurity

Tue, 05 Jul 2022 07:30:00 -0000

For decades, I have struggled with accepting certain parts of my body. I worry that as soon as I walk into a room, the first thing people notice about me is what I feel most vulnerable about. As women, we aren’t used to talking about our intimate body parts because those conversations aren’t normalized – they don't feel safe or relatable. Although we have similar anatomy, it all looks very different. And these differences are nothing to be ashamed about. So where do these insecurities stem from? Do all women battle with this? Let’s tawk.

Middle School

Tue, 28 Jun 2022 07:30:00 -0000

I still have so many tender but challenging memories of my early teenage years. The teasing from classmates. The body changes that everyone seemed to notice. The life-changing conversations that at first felt fleeting but have stuck with me since. And now as a parent, I’m realizing that I play a significant role in how my own children experience this formative period in their lives. I can help guide them through the murky waters of middle school, but are they actually going to want that? Am I equipped to do it? Let’s tawk.

Let’s Tawk with Ann Wilson

Tue, 21 Jun 2022 07:30:00 -0000

Ann Wilson is undeniably talented. When I was a teenager, I would wait by the radio for her songs to be played and was just constantly blown away by the sheer power of this woman. Her voice alone allowed her to breakthrough as a female rockstar in a time that was dominated by men. With her newest album, Fierce Bliss, that power is coming through as strong as ever. Did she ever doubt herself? Where did she get all of her confidence? Ann Wilson and I tawk.

COVID Summer

Tue, 14 Jun 2022 07:30:00 -0000

I’d like to start out with the caveat that I recorded this episode during the height of having COVID. It was so challenging to collect my thoughts and feel in control of anything. Which, oddly enough, is exactly how I feel going into this summer. It’s the first summer where I’ve planned almost nothing for my kids and where they are more autonomous than ever and I’m having a hard time with that. Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to provide the perfect summers for our kids? Let’s tawk.

Introducing V Interesting

Fri, 10 Jun 2022 07:30:00 -0000

The producers of this series wanted to share with you another Lemonada Media series that they know you’ll love. V Interesting is hosted by V Spehar - who is out from under the desk and into your ears! They're starting off by sharing some of the headlines you may have missed this week, including exactly who’s rewriting the national reading curriculum, how Biden may have actually started the U.S. student debt crisis, and how people feel about returning to the office after working remotely during the height of the pandemic (spoiler alert: not great!) Then, a conversation with Jules Suzdaltsev, a Ukrainian-born journalist and creator of the hit TikTok show, “Good Morning, Bad News.” V and their news bestie discuss how Jules has navigated the ever-changing media landscape, why news outlets are censoring graphic content, and how citizen journalists are using social media to teach us about events like the war in Ukraine.

Follow Jules’s work on TikTok at @goodmorningbadnews and on Twitter at @jules_su.

Let's Tawk with Belinda Carlisle

Tue, 07 Jun 2022 07:30:00 -0000

When you’re a creator – whether a movie producer like me or a famous pop singer/songwriter like Belinda Carlisle from the Go-Go’s – the pressure to constantly make award-winning content starts to weigh you down. If you make a #1 song or a box office hit...it only gets worse. How can we actually regain control of our lives and creativity? How do we reteach ourselves where our value really comes from? Belinda Carlisle and I tawk.

Overcoming Shame

Tue, 31 May 2022 07:30:00 -0000

I think shame is something everybody experiences and carries. For me, it’s very different from embarrassment or guilt, even though guilt is oftentimes a byproduct of that shame. Some of us have found ourselves in uncomfortable or traumatic situations that have led to years of negative thoughts and feelings that later manifest themselves in unhealthy ways. But can we move past it all and live in the present for our own sake? To heal? Let’s tawk.

Please be advised that this episode features conversations about sexual assault. Let’s Tawk also contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners.

Setting Boundaries

Tue, 24 May 2022 07:30:00 -0000

The second I feel like I’ve been hurt by someone my instinct is to just move away, and that has cost me so many relationships in my life. I’ve learned it’s far better to set boundaries. Personal boundaries are the foundation of self respect. For me, it’s easier to set them up with the newer people in my life. But how do you set fresh boundaries with the people you’ve known for a long time? Let’s tawk.

Invasive Curiosity

Tue, 17 May 2022 07:35:00 -0000

I think our desire to know every detail about the personal lives of celebrities is a sickness. Leaked pictures. Stolen birth certificates. Private videos. There’s no end! Why do we feel like we deserve this information? Are we trying to fill the voids in our own lives? And is there a difference between what we want to learn about famous people and regular people? Let’s tawk.

Imposter Syndrome

Tue, 17 May 2022 07:30:00 -0000

‘What have I done that is worthy?’ This question lives in my head, rent free. In an effort to continually achieve, I ignore every success I have had. The truth is I struggle with imposter syndrome. Why do I feel this way? Why do so many women feel this way? And why, as we learn in the episode, doesn’t Jaxon feel this way?? Let’s tawk.

Jaime Revisits: Fighting Over Faith

Thu, 23 Dec 2021 08:30:00 -0000

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.

Life Is Good, but Aging Sucks

Thu, 21 Jan 2021 08:30:00 -0000

Wrinkles. Sagging boobs. Chin hairs. Let’s be honest, aging isn’t fun. But as Jaime points out, there are also some pretty awesome things about getting older: you know you don’t have to tolerate other people’s crap, you’re more self-aware, and you know enough about your own body to finally have great sex. This week you’ll hear Jaime’s pros and cons about aging, plus listener questions about Botox, staying in shape, how to feel sexy at any age, and more!

Mental Health

Thu, 03 Dec 2020 08:30:00 -0000

This year has taken one hell of a toll — especially on our mental health. The pandemic. The divisive political culture. The social isolation. This week, Jaime is joined by Lemonada Media co-founder and Last Day host Stephanie Wittels Wachs for a frank talk about mental health. Jaime admits she’s never felt as bad as she does now, but also realizes that just saying that out loud is helpful for her. The two of them also answer questions from a listener worried about her sister and another concerned about his own well-being.

Why We Love the Wrong People

Thu, 26 Nov 2020 08:30:00 -0000

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.

Parenting: The Kids Weigh In

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 08:30:00 -0000

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

Thu, 05 Nov 2020 08:30:00 -0000

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.

The Freedom in Forgiveness

Thu, 29 Oct 2020 07:30:00 -0000

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

Thu, 22 Oct 2020 07:30:00 -0000

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.

Bisexuality or Bust

Thu, 15 Oct 2020 07:30:00 -0000

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.

Body Dysmorphia and Company

Thu, 08 Oct 2020 07:30:00 -0000

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. Plus, a question about keeping up your self-esteem as you age.

This is Gaslighting

Thu, 01 Oct 2020 07:30:00 -0000

"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. Plus, how to respond to a boss who is gaslighting you and rebuilding trust in yourself after being gaslit by a cheating husband.

Empty Nesters

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 07:30:00 -0000

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. Plus, dating tips for a father who wants to get back out there after devoting his life to his son.

The Other Woman

Thu, 17 Sep 2020 07:30:00 -0000

As promised, it’s the second episode about cheating, and this week, Jaime focuses on the other woman. She calls up a listener who was the other woman, just got contacted again by the guy, and doesn’t know what to do. Plus: a listener who thinks the best way to be in a casual relationship is to be the other woman and someone who wonders how smart women end up becoming the other woman.

After the Affair

Thu, 10 Sep 2020 07:30:00 -0000

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.

The Bad Girl Phase

Thu, 03 Sep 2020 07:30:00 -0000

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. Plus listener questions from a concerned sister, someone who is considering a bad girl phase after a breakup and someone having a hard time forgiving herself for her bad girl past.

Career Crossroads

Thu, 27 Aug 2020 07:30:00 -0000

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. This week Jaime connects with some listeners who need advice: Todd and Amanda want to know how to build their brand and Bethany feels stuck but needs a push from Jaime to take the next step.

Cutting Ties - Family Estrangement and Abandonment

Thu, 20 Aug 2020 07:30:00 -0000

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.

Secrets and Lies

Thu, 13 Aug 2020 07:30:00 -0000

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? Plus, Jaime advises a listener who started secretly smoking during COVID-19.

Loss and Grief

Thu, 06 Aug 2020 07:30:00 -0000

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.

The Ripple Effects of Addiction

Thu, 30 Jul 2020 07:30:00 -0000

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.

Painful, Shameful Friend Breakups

Thu, 23 Jul 2020 07:30:00 -0000

We all pretty much know how to end relationships with romantic partners. But what do you do if you need to break up with a friend? One basic rule exists: Don’t ghost. It’s emotional warfare. Don’t do it. Jaime shares the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to ending friendships and answers your questions about moving on. Topics include what to do when your lives and interests start to drift apart and how to change your approach if you sense your friends aren’t responding to you anymore.

The Many Cases of COVID

Thu, 16 Jul 2020 07:30:00 -0000

COVID has disrupted every single part of our lives, and for some, has left us anxious and confused! So many people have opinions, but who can you trust? Jaime actually tackles that exact question this week with someone you definitely can trust -- In the Bubble podcast host and former Obama administration health care head Andy Slavitt. Jaime and Andy compare notes on sending kids back to school, going on trips and what to do if your friends have different ideas about vaccines than you do.

Financial Infidelity

Thu, 09 Jul 2020 07:30:00 -0000

As a wise prophet once said, “mo money mo problems.” Not to quibble with Biggie, but money causes big problems whether you have a ton of it, not enough of it or if you’re anywhere in-between. This week, Jaime talks about the heartbreak, shame and legal ramifications that come with financial infidelity -- and answers your questions about whose money is whose in a relationship, how money can damage friendships and tackling spending triggers.

Jaime is joined by sexologist Michelle Hope and, together, they answer listener questions about everything from spicing things up during quarantine to feeling sexy at any age. Plus: what to do if you and your partner have opposing sex drives and how to ask for what you want...even when it’s scary.

FYI: Tell Me What To Do contains mature language and themes that may not be suitable for all listeners.
