Dear reader,
Betches is one of the earliest digital media and entertainment companies founded by women.Ā It’s also the most influential female-focused humor brand in the market today.Ā They have several platforms, including the U Up? podcast, the Oversharing podcast, and the @Betches podcastāall of which Jordana hosts.
If there’s one thing her brand isn’t afraid to do, it’s bring a touch of humor to serious subjects.Ā āWe try to take these topicsāā she says āāthat can feel very heavy to a lot of people and laugh at them a little bit. I think humor is the only way to get through things. We want to make the heaviness of life more digestible and make it so we can still connect with each other and laugh.ā
Whether it’s news, politics, dating, or infertility, Betches has so many different touch points in women’s lives. Jordana herself has opened up about her fertility struggles on the platform. In this episode, we discuss what she’s been learning about in her marriage throughout this journey, including how to āfight fair.ā
Here are some of the biggest takeaways:
Learn how you want to be supported and communicate it.Ā Your partner might not always react the way you want. Or, sometimes, you might want them to reactĀ
oneĀ way in one situation and a different way in another. The bottom line is they won’t know how to support you unless you tell them.
Fighting fair is about knowing how to speak to each other. It might mean that in the heat of an argument, you tell your partner you’re getting annoyed and need 15 minutes to go on a walk. Many of us are a better version of ourselves 15 minutes later.
You don’t need to say everything you think the minute you think it. That’s a myth in relationships. You can express yourself, but you don’t have to express yourself the same way your lizard brain wants you to.

Ā Post of the WeekI always recommendĀ notĀ sitting across from each other on a first date.
Think about it. If you’re sitting side-by-side or perpendicular to each other, you’re probably sharing a view together, doing some sort of activity, or watching what else is happening in the room. You’re less self-conscious, and conversation is easier and more casual. It’s a win all around.Ā
