EPISODE 11: THE RETURN OF TRACY MCMILLAN

Bonus Episode: This episode is from an archive of Brooke's previous show, "The Naked Mom." On this new episode of The Naked Mom, author, TV writer and matchmaker Tracy McMillan ("I Love You But I'm Leaving You Anyway," "Why You're Not Married Yet") joins Brooke to answer your love and relationship questions. This show is a Naked Mom milestone because Tracy is our first repeat guest. We had to do it because she's just that good. Tracy also shares her personal experiences with having her son grow from teen into college student who's home visiting for the summer as part of a larger conversation around parenting and letting go of the idea of control. Adjusting to the empty nest is another subject Brooke and Tracy get into before moving on to listener questions. What is co-dependency and how do you differentiate it from being helpful, loving and concerned for another person? How do you forgive someone? How does shifting your perspective change the narrative of your life? Should you have a "list" when you're looking for a partner? What are the 2 kinds of affairs? How is narcissism different from self-love? We cover all those questions and a lot more. Heads up: There are a couple of "S-bombs" if that sort of thing offends you.
