TikTok, Grieving, and Changing Your Name...

Dear Media
About this episode

We are SO excited to be joined by our favorite influencer couple (and new friends) Alex Madison and Jon Bouffard! We're talking about everything – how they met and started dating, creating content together, why they're not friends with many influencers, and how sex can solve your problems. Then they open up about the loss of their unborn child – how they changed their minds from being childfree to even wanting children, being open about the pregnancy and the loss on social media, the grieving process and how they supported each other, and how they are feeling about having children now. And then we dive into some juicy listener questions – a woman wanting her husband to take HER last name, and overstepping in-laws. Before Alex and Jon join us, we're talking about the wildest thing that happened at our last live show, and the age-old debate of keeping or deleting pictures of an ex on Instagram. Enjoy!
