Executive produce Lara joins us on the show this week. One year since leaving New York to take the role as our executive producer, Lara is still happily living in Los Angeles. Those who know her best can't help but notice she has gone full LA. She has discovered yoga and mysticism, crystals and acai bowls, and refuses to consume any dairy, gluten. alcohol, citrus, yellow onion, or nut oils. She wouldn't even look at a New Jersey bagel today.
As her wellness journey continues to thrive, she is also doing a damn good job running this podcast. We are so excited to have her back in the guest's chair and to hear what topics she has been sitting on.

Happy Valentine's Day Week! We are doing entirely dating topics this week and are joined by dating Coach Ali Jackson. Ali is the host of the popular dating podcast Finding Mr. Height where Ali and her cohost Erica Spera dish on their dating lives and talk about their dating experiences every week.
Ali was nice enough to entertain us with her thoughts on our dating topics... even if she now thinks Evan and Adam might be a little crazy. But hey, this is I'll Be the Judge of That, the topics can never be ordinary.
