Chelsea, how are you?

[A]

Hi, I'm Chelsea. What's your name?

[C]

My name's Catherine.

[A]

It's nice to meet you. Katherine.

[D]

Nice to meet you.

[C]

Nice to meet you.

[A]

It's a beautiful day here in sunny Los Angeles.

[C]

It absolutely is.

[A]

I'm safe in my house, my beautiful house. I am so happy. You know what?

[C]

It feels like you actually finally live here. I've had people, flowers everywhere.

[A]

I've had people staying here. I had two of my openers that come on the road with me, Yamaneika and Megan Gailey. They were staying here all week. So they broke in my guest room. Yamanika broke in my guest room for sure.

[C]

Oh, broke it in. Not broke it in.

[A]

She broke it in. And that's a separate issue. But the house is starting to feel like a home. I had a dinner party the other night. Had, like, six friends over. I'm gonna do it again tomorrow.

[C]

Nice.

[A]

I'm like, slowly. And the house is beautiful and I'm loving it, and I'm grateful that I have a gorgeous house to live in.

[C]

It's beautiful. It's like, finally all put together and, like, the nice little touches are coming together. We've got our candle candles going.

[A]

I have a whole drug drawer. It's like everything is where I need party favors. Thank you.

[C]

Incredible. I have an exciting update from a caller who took your advice and emailed me immediately after the call. Like, within 24 hours she had taken this advice. So this was Simone, who was on our Kevin Kane episode. She had called in because she was, like, doing tarot, but.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[C]

Wasn't charging for it. And then was, like, worried.

[A]

I'm getting a tarot card reading today, by the way.

[C]

Oh, at one o'.

[A]

Clock. That's funny that you say that.

[C]

How fun. Any particular reason or.

[A]

No, they just saw someone who said, can we give you a tarot card reading? I said, sure. I mean, how's that going to go? They already know who I am. I don't know what. That doesn't even work anymore.

[C]

That is like. I know everyone loves, like, Tyler Henry, but I'm like you. It is so interesting to have, like, made your career on, like, the most googleable people on the.

[A]

I like that. That's going to be my complaint when people say, are there any downsides to being famous? I'm going to be like, yeah, you can't get a straight up psychic reading or a tarot card reading.

[C]

You got to go to, like, Peru or something.

[A]

But.

[C]

So Simone sent me her email that she sent out to all of her clients, and so I thought this was perfect. Her subject line was, I've had a blast, y', all, but something's got to change. Since the onset of my career almost nine years ago, I've been giving out free readings. Like, an absolute shit ton of free readings. I want to talk to you today about why I did that and share a big announcement. I've done hundreds of free readings while secretly worrying about how I'm going to pay my bills. I still felt that my work might not be worth anything. But demand has been growing, and after a swift kick in the butt from a longtime heroine of mine, I decided to transition to paid readings only. This is a big step for me and something wonderful to celebrate. For those of you reading this email now, you have a special price that is only yours lower than the public prices. This is my thank you for supporting my business. Use code thank youchelsea at checkout.

[A]

Oh, yeah, that's so cute.

[C]

I know. She said, I would love to help you manifest the reality you've been dreaming of, navigate a transition or discover yourself more deeply by viewing your life through a broader vision. I want to express my sincere gratitude to those who have supported me along this journey. To those who have already purchased readings, thanks for teaching me the monetary value of my work. To those who received free readings, thanks for. Thank you for holding space for me as I worked through insecurities regarding my professional worth. I'm officially leaving those hesitations behind today. And even if you never purchase from me, I want you to know just how deeply I appreciate every single one of you. But Simone's graduating. She's growing the fuck up. Ta da. Thank you from the bottom of my little heart for being part of this growth and for your continued support. Best regards Simone. Great. I'm like, that is a perfect email. Like I have a marketing background and that is a perfect email to transition.

[A]

Do we need to leave remind people what that was about? Because that girl, she was giving out freak tarot card readings if we couldn't deduce from the email and she wanted to go professional, but she wasn't sure how to do that and how to tell people she's going to start charging and everything. And we said to write, she does our charging. I love it. That's so cute.

[C]

So, yeah, so that was perfect. I was really, really happy she did this. I know. And she like immediately did this. I was so proud for her. So that's so great.

and I have another update that's from a caller, not someone who called in, but I just thought this was sweet. Dear Chelsea, I'm not writing with a specific question, but to thank you for all the thoughtful advice you've given others over the years since starting your podcast. I've been listening since day one. I know some people might ask themselves, what would Jesus do? But I'm more of a WWCS kind of guy. When one of life's stumbling blocks crosses my path, I stop and think, what would Chelsea say?

[A]

That's cute.

[C]

Most recently, I've been feeling stuck in my work life. My apartment lease was already month to month and I'm a single gay guy with no children. So I asked myself wwcs. Then I refreshed my resume, learned how to harness the evil of ChatGPT to assist me with writing cover letters, and I've been applying to jobs in cities across the country that I've always enjoyed visiting. No interviews yet, but I wanted to let you know that even without having to write you an ask, I knew what you'd tell me to do. And that was all I needed to jumpstart my initiative. Thanks for all the sage advice and laughs along the way, Anthony.

[A]

What did he do?

[C]

He was like, you know what? I need a big life change. And started sending out his resume to other cities and other places. And he's like, I don't have a mortgage that tie me down. I don't have kids tying me down. So yeah, everybody needs to keep it moving.

[A]

Everyone just keep it moving. If you are in a point in your life where you're dissatisfied or you don't think you're realizing your full actuality or like dreams, then move.

[C]

Make a change.

[A]

Make a change. Make a big change. Life rewards you, I think, when you make big changes.

[C]

I think so too.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

But also write in because we love having people write in.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

I love to get advice. I love it. We always need new questions. Okay, Chelsea, are you ready to talk to a familiar face from maybe six years ago? So Shane is writing in.

[A]

Is this Shane Gillis from the roast?

[C]

Absolutely. It absolutely is. Weren't you excited to see him again? Yeah, Manika kept calling him Sean. Like, that's incredible. I mean, I never heard him before, so that's racist.

[A]

Yamanika.

[C]

All the Shanes and Se look alike. Okay, so Shane is from season one. This is the guy who you two took a 30 day weed break with or you took 30 day weed break with him?

[A]

Yes.

[C]

We love Shane.

[A]

Hey. Oh, my God.

[C]

Hello.

[D]

Exciting.

[A]

Is this. We need our headphones.

[C]

Oh, we do need our headphones.

[A]

Oh, my God. I know Shane. I follow him on Instagram. Prison is not a joke.

[D]

That's me. Long time no see.

[A]

Hey. You look awesome.

[D]

Thank you. So do you.

[A]

Yeah, thank you. You look so handsome. I love it.

[C]

Well, I try. Shane has some messy stuff that we have to dig through. Okay, so I'll go through the list since it's all very succinct. Hi, Chelsea, It's Shane, your 30 day weed break buddy from season one. Remember? Me. When we finished that break, I had just unexpectedly come out to my family as trans. So while we were moderating weed, I was quietly detonating and rebuilding my entire identity. Very chill timing. Since then, life's been eventful. At the start of 2025, I had a three week breakdown that landed me on Lexapro. During that time, I did a short weed break because smoking was making my anxiety worse. But I ultimately went back to smoking every day. No vapes though. If I have one, I'll hit it every seven to 12 minutes like I'm checking notifications. Toward the end of the year, I quit my job of almost seven years, got evicted. Not my fault, just capitalism. And lost a friend to liver failure. On the positive side, I recently started a new job which feels like a real reset. Nothing motivates personal growth quite like losing everything all at once. Also, because I clearly enjoy a side quest, I've developed a nicotine pouch habit in my state. They're not even flavored, just raw, unseasoned nicotine. It's basically the lacroix of bad decisions. So my questions for you are, do we need another 30 day reset? Do I include nicotine this time? And where's your personal weed line these days? Love, Shane.

[A]

Hi. Oh, shit. Yes. Hi. Okay. My personal weed line, I gave up on honestly.

[D]

Aw.

[A]

There's too many idiots in the weed industry that I went through down the road like three different times with three different groups of men. And I was like, I don't want to work with men. I just can't deal with it. I came out with my Owls Brew Chelsea lemonade instead because that was a women led company and they came to me and they nailed it. The first time, like our first taste test, I found three flavors that I loved and I was like, this is. I've been down that road with men so many times. So my Owls Brew Vodka lemonade was replaced. My weed thing. But I still, you know, I'm. I mean, I smoke and use drugs all the time.

[C]

Okay, can I ask a clarifying question, Shane? Did you mean a line of weed that's Chelsea branded or your personal line with how much you smoke weed?

[D]

No, she was. The first time we talked, you were saying that you were going to have.

[C]

Oh, right.

[A]

Developing. Okay, right, right, right.

[C]

I read it the other way.

[A]

Yeah. So. Well, I guess that's why it's called Dear Chelsea Catherine. So, yeah, you should do a 30 day reset. You have an addictive personality. It's okay. I do too. I do that. I do too. So I have to, like, sometimes if I'm just doing too much of one thing, I just stop and then pivot to something else so that I don't ever have to have giveaway. I don't want to ever have to give anything up. You know what I mean? But 30 day reset is great because you don't have to give it up. You just have to stop for 30 days and that'll tamp down your desire.

[D]

Yeah, I do want to give up a nicotine for sure.

[A]

I'm.

[D]

That's.

[C]

Yeah, that's a bad habit. That's an achy habit.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

I need you guys to publicly shame me so I can quit it.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Do you want me to pretend to quit something for 30 days and do it with you?

[D]

Yes.

[A]

What could I quit for 30 days? What's my favorite drug right now? LSD. But that's not. That's not fair to the world because that's good for me to be on. Hold on, let me think of something else.

[D]

Ketamine.

[A]

Ketamine. I hate ketamine. I tried it. I tried it on that boat trip

[D]

and that should be easy to quit for 30 days.

[A]

Yeah. Okay, fine. I won't do ketamine for 30 days. We're in solidarity. Do you feel the love, Shane?

[D]

I do.

[A]

How's your life going right now?

[D]

It's pretty good. I'm starting to put my life back together. I got a new apartment, a new job.

[A]

Oh, nice.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

So I'm just chilling.

[C]

How's the new job going?

[D]

I've only been here for like two months, so I don't really feel fully know everything yet. But I. I feel like I can do most things by myself at this point. It's shipping and receiving for a company in Berkeley, so. Yeah, easy stuff.

[C]

And how are you? Like how did everything shake out with your family when you came out and like did all of that?

[D]

They overall were cool with it, but they still like up pronouns in my name and I'm constantly correcting my parents on that. But they're old, so I'll let them pass.

[A]

Yeah, that's okay. That's okay. Just keep reminding them. They'll get it. Yeah, yeah.

[D]

Sooner or later.

[A]

Well, Shane, I love you. I love our relationship. I love that you are calling back after six years. And I love seeing you on Instagram. Yeah.

[D]

This is my longest relationship right here.

[C]

Me too.

[A]

Me too. Okay. My black brother. Me too.

[D]

Well, thank you so much for having me back.

[A]

You're welcome. Anytime, honey. Bye.

[D]

Bye.

I love how they're using the wrong pronouns and he has like a full beard. Like just.

[A]

Yeah, he was. He was. He transitioned from a woman, right?

[C]

I mean he's like a.

[A]

First of all, he's a. A babe.

[C]

He's a babe. He's a babe. Yeah, he's very hot. He's very hot. If any of you are out there in the Bay Area looking for a cute trans guy to date, I mean, look at the Shane.

[A]

Yeah, no, he's so cute.

[C]

All right, I have a wondering question we can wrap up with. We have a mom who might be overstepping a little bit, but I'll let you take this one. So Brenda says, hi, Chelsea, I know that you're now doing that matchmaking on Instagram and I love that so much for you. I'd love to be a matchmaker myself, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Enough about me. My daughter moved to Barcelona several years ago and she's an English teacher and I want so badly for her to have a great love and she hasn't experienced that yet in her life. I know it would make her feel like she was chosen. Not that you have to be chosen when you can do the choosing, but that's something that has not clicked for her yet. When I went to visit recently, I sat in a cafe and met a very nice man for her, but he ghosted. And I don't think she likes the idea of me trying for her, but I can't help myself.

[A]

No.

[C]

She's so deserving of a loving and kind partner. If you get any people from Barcelona, she's a lovely girl who's soon to be 26 years old. Can you please add them to your Instagram?

[A]

Brenda, it's 26 years old is like not old, baby. She's going to be fine, mom. And you, like, don't meddle like that. If she doesn't like that, don't do it. I know you can control yourself. You're her mother. Like. And yes, I'll look out. There were a bunch of people from Barcelona actually, but we were focusing on this country. So I'll talk to my social media team and have them focus on like Geo Target places, but I can't guarantee that will put her up because I'm being bombarded. I mean, it's just, it's, it's too much to manage. And so I'm doing the. We're doing the best we can. I'm not doing it. My social media team is doing it because it's so much. But also respect your daughter's wishes. Your daughter will be fine. She's 26 year old. She'll meet, she'll meet people. Don't worry. It happens.

[C]

It's got to happen, like of her own volition. Whether that's organically. Yeah. Or online or whatever. But yeah, I feel like that's nice that the guy was very nice to her, but also like, of course he ghosted. You know, it's like, oh, my daughter's so sweet and lovely. Like, you know, it's just, you gotta, gotta let her do it on her own, I think.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. All right, Brenda. Well, that's all for this week.

[A]

Peace out. Peace out, guys.
