Summary
Today’s episode is advice for my kids — and really, advice for anyone doing life. These are the lessons I’ve learned over the years that I hope to send my kids into the world with. We talk about trusting your gut, living authentically, letting go of people-pleasing, and why other people’s opinions have nothing to do with you. I dive into self-worth, work ethic, energy, fear, comparison, and what it really means to live a fulfilling life.
This episode is about growth, resilience, and learning to let life surprise you — even when it’s hard. Whether you’re a parent or just need a reminder of what matters, this one’s meant to be something you keep in your back pocket.

| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a dear media production. |
| 0:04.4 | This is Let's Be Honest with Kristen Cavalery, a podcast all about getting real and open on everything from sex, relationships, reality TV, wellness, family, and so much more. |
| 0:15.7 | And just a fair warning, there will probably be some oversharing. |
| 0:21.1 | Hello, hello. morning, there will probably be some oversharing. Because I got all the power. Yep. |
| 0:23.9 | Hello, hello. |
| 0:26.3 | Happy Tuesday. |
| 0:28.0 | I hope everybody had a great Valentine's Day. |
| 0:31.8 | I, well, hopefully when you're listening to this, I will have already seen Wuthering Heights |
| 0:37.2 | with Margo Robbie and Jacob Lordy. I'm really going to try to see it. hopefully when you're listening to this, I will have already seen Wuthering Heights with |
| 0:38.0 | Margot Robbie and Jacob Lordy. I'm really going to try to see it the day before this comes out. |
| 0:43.2 | So obviously, I'm recording this a couple days in advance. But that Monday is a holiday. |
| 0:48.6 | There's no school. And I'm going to try to go see it. Not with my kids. But because it's a holiday, I'm going to try to take advantage. And I'm dying to see the movie looks so good. I think Jacob Lordy is my new celebrity crush, although he's not really, I guess, a new celebrity crush. He's kind of been a crush in and out over the years. Of course, when I watch Euphoria, I'm obsessed with him, and I think Margo Robbie is a girl crush. |
| 1:12.3 | So, yeah, this is not paid whatsoever. |
| 1:15.6 | I'm just really excited to see it. |
| 1:18.5 | And I will just also be getting back from L.A. |
| 1:22.7 | I'm going out there to shoot the Uncommon James Spring Summer campaign. And we are shooting at a house that |
| 1:30.2 | looks like an Italian villa. We are calling it our Italian summer. And this house really, |
| 1:37.0 | it looks like it's in Italy. So I'm excited about that. And then since I am single, |
| 1:41.8 | the plan is to go out for Valentine's Day, but we'll see. I don't, |
| 1:45.1 | I don't really have any set plans as up right now. I'm going to take out my team after the shoot. That is the day before Valentine's Day. And then TBD on what I'm actually going to do the night of Valentine's Day. But, you know, I feel like it's a good night if you're single to go out because I would imagine most singles are out. |
| 2:01.3 | I don't know, guys. I don't know. I don't know. Anyways, that is definitely not what this podcast is |
| 2:06.7 | about. Quite the opposite, in fact. Today is going to be advice for my kids. And of course, |
