At some point you feel fried. Been there? Today’s guest, Nicole Lapin, has been there. She thought she could outrun her problems and find success…and today we’ll hear how that worked out. Nicole is a New York Times best selling author of both Rich Bitch and her second title Boss Bitch. Today she’s back with a new guide to help us figure life out. We’ll talk about balance, acceptance, and not trying to outrun your problems on today’s show.

In our headlines segment, how’s your will looking? The wills of a couple people in the news lately are UGLY. We’ll focus on the wills of Jeffrey Epstein and Aretha Franklin today, and some huge questions that have come up because of weird circumstances in both (very different) cases. Then, we’ll pivot to a chat about wine destinations (how fun is that???). Good news: one recent piece says you don’t have to go to Venice or Napa, and to get a great vacation you might not even need a passport. There are low budget destinations for whatever fun you have planned in places you wouldn’t believe.

After a little dose of Doug’s trivia, we’ll throw out the Haven Life Line to Rina, a concerned mother who asks how she can set up a Roth IRA for her child.
