Nivedh and Taylor are fresh from a weekend spent off the grid. While they were gone, Sara broke a personal screen time record devising a foolproof money-making plan for the three of them, the success of which depends heavily on Blake Shelton and/or Luke Bryan. So if you have a lead on either, please DM us at your earliest convenience.

If you’ve listened to any of the previous nine episodes of this podcast, you’ve probably deduced that Nivedh and Sara have a lot of words in their heads at all times, and most of these words come out of their mouths. Usually dramatically. Sometimes tactfully. Rarely scornfully. But on today’s episode, Nivedh has regrets, as he learned that some of his past words were hurtful. As that is never our intention on Emotionally Available, we huddle for a team apology and a moment of sincerity.

But because tragedy + time = comedy or whatever, we power on and hope that when listening to this podcast you’ll remember: we’re joking. And human. Just a regular trio of human jokesters. That said, today’s episode is about the power of words, and how they can be used for empowerment or destruction.

We also welcome our third guest, when Nivedh’s mom calls. She likens Taylor’s role on this podcast to that of Bert on Sesame Street. Afterwards, we get distracted and audit each other’s dating profiles, and find out a lot about Taylor and Sara’s fashion choices.

As always, we are emotionally available to you. So send us your comments, questions, and crises at emotionallyavailablepodcast@gmail.com. Follow us on Instagram @nivedhsingh1023 and @sara.mellas. Go ahead and DM us while you’re at it – we love a slide.
