We're so excited to welcome the Executive Producer Sholeh Fabbri on the podcast today to hear more about it.
On this episode of The F Words Natasha and Taylor talk about COVID-19 and how they've been doing during this time of uncertainty. Natasha believes it's important to stay positive and has been cooking up a storm at home, while Taylor has been learning more about herself and her kids. The pair also talk about the importance of supporting small business, how we all need to do our part right now so that business can resume and our new normal.
Well normally Natasha and I are together when we record this podcast but today it's a different story. Like so many of us, to help flatten the curve of the spread of COVID-19, we are social distancing and we're working from home. How are you doing? Yes we want to know! How is working from home going?
Recently, Jessie J revealed that she loves cleaning more than sex. The singer who is dating Channing Tatum said “Tidying is my love language. Cooking, organizing, singing and sex are my favourite things, in that order.’” How do we think Channing feels about that list!?
Would you ever say cleaning is your love language?
Jessie also talked about ‘energy cleansing’, which is when someone cleans out all the dark energy others might have wished upon you. She says the insight she’s gained from the spiritual sessions and admitted: ‘I’ve learnt a lot from all of my relationships, even my most recent one [with Channing].
Well let’s talk about our own lists - what are our favourite things to do in order and also before sex? Let us know!
So a lot of you out there may be in a new relationship and wondering when the right time to go exclusive is… it’s tricky because you may not want to have the conversation too soon but then at the same time dating apps make it easy for people to date multiple people at the same time… so when is the right time and how do you know?
Here are 5 Questions from meetmindful.com to ask yourself before that conversation:
Are you being genuine with each other? Got chemistry? Can you trust each other? Can you communicate? Are you an intimacy match? **
Psychology today says if you really like the person tell them that, that you want to see where things will go and that you aren’t seeing anyone else and ask if they are. It’s not a marriage proposal so it can just be a casual conversation.
Too much of the drama in new relationships is about guessing, double-guessing, and triple-guessing what the other person wants, making both people feel crazy. So use your words.
Let us know what languages you are using in the 5 languages of love. NK and Taylor talk about it on Today's episode.
NK and TK are back in action and this episode is all about Mercury in Retrograde. Do you believe in Mercury Retrograde? Find out about your sign below!

Recently Instagram started experimenting with a new feature where your followers wouldn’t see how many likes you get on your posts. Instagram said "we want your followers to focus on what you share, not how many likes your posts get." There are some people, like Anthony, who don’t think about how many likes they get, so they wouldn’t care about this change. On the flip side, the entire Influencer industry is built on people seeing how many likes they get. On this episode Natasha, Taylor and Anthony get into if this change would benefit people’s mental health and why there’s an urge for validation when you get likes on your posts.

Popsugar’s popular twinning app that went viral during the holidays was reportedly collecting everyone’s photos. Sharing something fun on social media isn’t something we’d normally think too much about…but maybe it should be.

This is a special edition of The F words. We couldn't let this sit any longer. Harvey Weinstein is a sexual predator. Yes this situation is happening in the US but there are "Harvey's" in all types of workplaces. Men and women are being victimized. The team brought on top Canadian Employment lawyer Natalie MacDonald on the podcast to discuss Harvey Weinstein & his contract that allowed him to have "incidents". Harvey could keep on preying on women as long as he paid for the lawsuits out of his pocket. The company allowed it to happen. The contract according to TMZ had a sliding scale. The more incidents the more Harvey paid. Listen to this week's show and let us know your thoughts on this case. You can tweet the team below.

Hurricane Harvey is one of the worst disasters ever seen in Texas. A new analysis from the University of Wisconsin’s Space Science and Engineering Center has determined that Harvey is a 1-in-1,000-year flood event The section of Southeast Texas that has been affected is equivalent in size to New Jersey.
The past week many people have been assisting the Texans and the world watches and prays for all of those who have lost their lives, homes and more.
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump arrived on the scene late last week and social media erupted. This time is was not the President but the First Lady who was being scrutinized. Why did she choose to wear heels to visit Texas after Hurricane Harvey's aftermath.
The F words team battles it out this week. What's the big deal? Is it a big deal on what someone wears?
We would love to hear from you. Let us know what side you're on.
As well, the F words team does want everyone to be aware that this will take many years and decades to fix what has happened in Texas with the floods and Hurricane. So how can you help? There are may organizations. We have listed a few here and please add to the list.

Did you know there are dating apps for the A listers, CEO's and models. Why haven't you been invited? OR maybe you have! Raya is a dating app where Celebs and Influencers with 10 thousand or more followers are invited to join. We filter through everything else in life why is this such a big deal?
Join Natasha, Anthony Mantella and Taylor Kaye as they discuss and navigate through Tinder and Raya.
What do you think of these dating apps? Do you think the CEO versions are elitist?
