Welcome to Interstates & HeartDRAKE, where I get IN MY FEELINGS about my journey from 0 TO 100 episodes. Things go from OVO to AMA as I answer listener-submitted questions about :
-- How I cope when I'M UPSET-- TIMELINES as they relate to exclusivity-- What I would do if I had no MORE LIFE to live after 5 months-- BACK TO BACK questions about the biggest lessons I learned from dating my first ex and producing the podcast…and the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard trial, but I ran out of Drake lyrics.
Jk, here's one more - listen to the end if you want to SEE WHAT'S 'BOUT TO HAPPEN NEXT for Interstates & Heartbreak, OKAY?

99. Breakdowns, Breakups, and Heartbreak
The heartbreak podcast collab you didn’t know you needed- Interstates & Heartbreak welcomes Thank You Heartbreak host Chelsea Leigh Trescott to discuss reclaiming your breakup experience to “break upward.” She discusses her evolution from serial monogamist to intentionally single, and how her standards have raised along the journey. We discuss the nuances of heartbreak, like breaking your OWN heart by staying in a relationship that doesn’t serve you, or the often ignored heartbreak of being the one to end a relationship.
TRIGGER WARNING: Chelsea reflects on some heavier topics like a suicidal ex (16:27) and dating while struggling with disordered eating (12:05, 22:50, 1:04:40).

96. Dating "Mr. Big" (and Other NY Men)
Stevie Bowen revisits the early 20's dating stories that inspired her modern Carrie Bradshaw moment - complete with her own version of Mr. Big. She dishes on the men behind the monikers in her memoir, The City of Dating…the one who (unknowingly) took her virginity, the one who fulfilled her sk8tr boi fantasy, the one who viewed protein powder as a food group…and the Charlottes, Mirandas, and Samanthas who were there to gossip with her over brunch the morning after.

95. Chronic Illness Dating Chronicles
Gigi Robinson provides visibility to a typically invisible condition - Ehlers-Danlos syndrome - and recounts the 10+ year journey post-diagnosis that ultimately led her to build a platform dedicated to awareness around chronic illness. She drags the men who've had (FAR) less than ideal responses to her condition in the past, from bouncing mid-makeout, to an attempted religious conversion. She also shares the secrets around confidence and body image that ultimately led her to a Sports Illustrated swim shoot.
