Summary
Today we are telling lies with Carola Lovering, the author of Tell Me Lies which is now a MAJOR television show. We discuss the inspiration behind the book, if intense chemistry is a warning sign, why it’s easier to treat ourselves badly in college, how we’re feeling about this season so far, being new moms, and so much more.

| 0:17.8 | Hey guys, welcome back to We Metatakmi. |
| 0:19.9 | I'm so excited for today's episode with Carilla. |
| 0:23.7 | She is a goddess, a queen, the author of Tell Me Lies. |
| 0:28.0 | This episode is a long time coming. |
| 0:30.2 | I've always wanted to have her on the pod. |
| 0:32.7 | And with this season being, in my opinion, the best season yet, |
| 0:36.7 | I obviously was thinking about her, even though she is not involved in the show. |

| 0:56.7 | So I really hope you enjoy the episode. |
| 0:58.6 | And I can't wait to hear your thoughts. |

| 1:37.6 | and you had followed the podcast and actually submitted a poll question once or twice. Yes. |
| 1:43.2 | I don't even remember what I submitted. |
| 1:45.3 | I think it was something about like, like, Bachelorette parties or something, like when my sister |
| 1:50.7 | was getting married. There's so many Bachelorette polls. It never ends. It's like, it's redundant, |
| 1:56.8 | but we all go through it and we all have questions, you know. Yes, yes. I love your polls. |
