I think one of the most relatable parts of this story about people earning a hundred million dollars for talking on the radio is that every woman goes through a phase where she is obsessed with astrology.

It happens to all of us.

I know it happened to me and it typically coincides.

I'm not speculating about anything in Jackie's life.

I'm noticing that

anecdotally, it coincides with going through a bit of a reckoning in your personal life, a bit of a moment where you don't quite know where you're going.

You might feel a little bit lost and looking to the stars helps you feel a sense of confidence and control that you don't otherwise have.

I went through a phase where I was paying for an app, which told me what the stars had in store for me that day.

Well, remember they came out with that science a couple of years ago that said we actually are all saying that we're the wrong star sign because they've done the calculations and it's changed.

So...

They're just ordering their like fancy types of espresso drinks and saying we don't have time for tradie versus lady, which he told me is a segment on the show.

In a moment, why TMI is actually A-OK.

So oversharing is generally seen as, I think we can say, a bad thing.

Think of some of the classic oversharers.

Prince Harry, in his book Spare, talks about his frostbitten penis, which he solved with some Elizabeth Arden eight-hour cream.

What doesn't it do?

Or think about the Norwegian winter Olympian who at this Olympics desperately wanted to tell his girlfriend, who he loves very much, that he had recently cheated on her.

In both these instances, you might ask, why is this our business?

But a new book by a Harvard psychologist says that we would be wrong.

In fact, oversharing is a kind of shortcut to intimacy.
