In this episode of What Do You Want?, Heather Locklear, Jillian Barberie, and Nurse Melanie Mancil move fluidly between humor, nostalgia, and deeply personal reflection, creating one of the most honest and wide-ranging discussions the show has had to date.

The hosts begin by reflecting on growing up Gen X, in a time before smartphones, social media, and constant supervision. They share stories about the freedom, recklessness, and lack of guardrails that defined childhood and adolescence in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, when kids were largely left to figure things out on their own.

As the discussion deepens, Mel opens up about her wild teenage years, including impulsive behavior and youthful risk-taking that would be unthinkable today. The conversation highlights how experimentation, rebellion, and boundary-pushing were often normalized parts of growing up, especially in an era with far less parental oversight or accountability.

From there, the episode takes a more vulnerable turn as the women talk openly about first sexual experiences and how complicated, confusing, and uneven those moments can be especially for young women. Two of the hosts share that their earliest experiences were not truly consensual, reflecting on how language, understanding, and support around these topics were very different at the time. The discussion focuses not on shock, but on how silence, shame, and misunderstanding shaped how many people processed those experiences well into adulthood.

The conversation also explores how early experiences can influence relationships, intimacy, and self-image later in life and why honest dialogue around these subjects matters, even when it’s uncomfortable.

In a lighter but still candid segment, the hosts discuss women’s body autonomy and the choices some women make after childbirth, including conversations around cosmetic and reconstructive vaginal procedures. The tone remains open, humorous, and respectful, centering on choice, confidence, and how women relate to their bodies over time without judgment or pressure.

Throughout the episode, humor and honesty coexist. There are moments of laughter, disbelief, self-reflection, and perspective as the women examine how much the world has changed, what was normalized in the past, and what today’s culture is still learning to talk about openly.

This is a conversation about:

Growing up without guardrails

Risk, rebellion, and consequences

The complexity of early experiences

Women speaking honestly about their bodies and autonomy

How generational silence shaped adulthood

Why openness and humor can coexist with serious topics

This episode isn’t about glorifying the past or dwelling on pain. It’s about telling the truth, sharing lived experiences, and creating space for nuance, empathy, and real conversation.

This week on What Do You Want?, Heather Locklear joins Jillian Barberie and Nurse Mel for an unfiltered conversation about fame, money, independence, and modern dopamine addiction.

The group dives into why New Year’s resolutions often fail, how phone addiction hijacks the brain, and whether GLP-1 medications can help curb compulsive behavior. Heather opens up about growing up with a strong message of financial independence, how money impacts relationships, and why happiness doesn’t always come from wealth.

They also unpack what fame really feels like, the pressure of public life, and how social media, TikTok, and constant stimulation are reshaping attention, dating, and mental health.

Funny, candid, and surprisingly vulnerable, this episode hits hard truths with humor and heart.
