Show Notes
We’re halfway through Season Two of Tough Love! So we’re taking a hot minute to catch our breath and share part of the one off Live Show we did at the Sydney Opera House in March 2023. It was sold out and part of the esteemed All About Women festival. This conversation is about Making Tough Decisions. Linda is joined by some fascinating & funny friends - comedian Becky Lucas and journalist Kumi Taguchi. Hear why Linda feels guilty about everything, how Kumi held onto her dream job, and what Becky said to get her banned from a social media giant for life. Make sure you listen until the end to hear an ultra special guest who salsa dances her way on stage. Tough love lessons on all the shit that counts. Host @LindaMarigliano with guests @Becky Lucas & @Kumi Taguchi This podcast was produced by Linda Marigliano, Amelia Chappelow and Adair Shepherd with support by Mike Williams. Photography by Jess Gleeson, Artwork by Tom Cotton @MadeinKatana Linda’s first book - a memoir - called ‘Love Language’ is out now!

More from Linda Marigliano's Tough Love
While Linda waits for her new arrival, she excitedly checks in with her Australian family and receives a dry dose of long distance reality from her parents. Meanwhile, Linda’s best friend shares her very recent birth story and the hilariously unplanned nuances of new motherhood.
What is your relationship like with productivity? In an effort to leave her "To Do List" behind, Linda is in New York this week and takes a moment to meet psychotherapist & author Israa Nasir (Toxic Productivity) to talk through some real tough love lessons about equality & equity in our day-to-day relationships, and ways we can learn to chill out and rethink our relationship with being always ‘on’ and productive.
On a warm summer LA morning, Linda is fired up to welcome the Sichuan chili crisp queen Jing Gao (Fly by Jing) to talk about how she reclaimed her Chinese identity through her entrepreneurship and (in spite of adversity) created one of the most popular modern condiment companies in the United States. They discuss misconceptions about international food and cultures, what early motherhood has been like for Jing and what age old traditions carry through in her life now and what she's let go.
Have you experienced negative self talk? For comedian and writer DeAnne Smith dealing with hecklers is an everyday job, but what happens when it’s your own voice doing the heckling?
This week, Linda has been rethinking her relationship with perfection and has invited the perfect player over for afternoon snacks. Professional tennis and pickleball player Genie Bouchard has spent her lifetime aiming for the top, and is in constant reassessment with the sacrifices and the discipline it has taken to be such a high achiever. Linda and Genie talk through the ways they’ve learned to relax, how Genie’s life in the spotlight has made it difficult to find trust in her adult relationships… and how life is a little messy sometimes, and that’s ok.
