In the Next Exam Room

Vanessa and Brigid share everything with each other - their thoughts, their feelings, even their endometriosis diagnosis.

This week on Hot & Bothered, we explore the trope “Friends to Lovers.” In her writing, Brigid reckons with the way love changes in the transition from friendship to partnership. Together, Vanessa and Brigid wrestle with what they share with friends, what they share with their partners, and the intimacy born from shared pain. 

Along the way, Rev. Dr. Matthew Potts returns to shed light on how we ask for care from our partners, and we get our next writing assignment from #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Bridgerton series, Julia Quinn.

Next week: More love advice and a conversation with advice columnist and entertainment reporter Meredith Goldstein.
