Courtrooms, Cleavage, & Couture: Reflections, Risks, and Writing 2026

2025 was a year of glamour, growth, and bold moves—and Michele and Jake are here to spill it all. Michele teases her next chapter as an erotic literature author, shares her LA photoshoots and makeup transformations, and gets real about battling keyboard warriors (Angelina Jolie fans, we’re looking at you). Social media clips—and yes, a little cleavage—rose viewership, but Michele’s keeping it savvy for court. Meanwhile, Jake’s “snail pace” meets Michele’s cheetah energy, and together they’re plotting to pick up the speed in 2026. They also give a sneak peek at the next season of lovelustlaw, diving into overlooked legal stories in family law and criminal defense, centering survivor experiences, and taking the podcast to video. Glamour, grit, law, and laughter—this episode is all about reflecting, leaping forward, and being unapologetically themselves.
