Episode 118: Nails, Prenups, and Knowing Your Worth

Written by Sandra Silverman | Jan 21, 2026 3:20:46 AM

People love to dismiss certain conversations as “surface-level.” Nails. Beauty. Grooming. Style.
But here’s what I’ve learned — after decades of living, loving, building, breaking, and rebuilding — nothing that affects how you feel about yourself is ever superficial.

In this episode of Party’s Over, we move from nail care and self-expression to one of the most emotionally charged conversations women face: prenuptial agreements. And while those topics may seem worlds apart, they’re actually connected by one powerful theme — knowing your worth.

Nails Are Not Vanity — They’re Self-Expression

We begin the episode talking about nails — and not just colors or trends, but what nails say about us.

I’m joined by my friend Nancy and nail expert Haya Amir, founder of Pure Nail Studio in Miami Beach. Haya has been in the nail industry since she was a teenager, building her career from the ground up, and she brings a refreshing honesty to the conversation.

We talk about how nail trends shift with age and lifestyle — from bold, expressive designs to clean, natural aesthetics — and how nails often reflect personality, confidence, and self-care habits more than we realize.

And yes, we talk about men and manicures too. Because taking care of yourself isn’t about gender — it’s about respect. Clean, healthy nails are part of feeling polished, put together, and confident in your own skin.

This conversation isn’t about indulgence. It’s about how small acts of care affect how we show up in the world.

When you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, you move differently.

The Truth About Prenups — Power, Pressure, and Protection

Then we shift — and the tone changes.

I sit down with my friend Erica, who has a legal background, to talk about prenuptial agreements. And let me be honest — this topic gives a lot of women anxiety, and for good reason.

We talk about the misconceptions surrounding prenups, especially the idea that they’re always about “protection.” Too often, they’re about power — who has it, who doesn’t, and who feels pressured to sign.

We discuss:

  • Why prenups can feel transactional instead of relational
  • The emotional damage of signing under pressure or close to a wedding date
  • Sliding-scale clauses that quietly put a price on a marriage — and a person
  • Why so many women regret signing agreements they didn’t fully understand

This isn’t about saying never to prenups. It’s about understanding what you’re signing, why you’re signing it, and whether it aligns with fairness, trust, and shared values.

Money changes people. And love doesn’t protect you from that truth.

Spill It: Honest Questions, Real Answers

We close the episode with Spill It, where my friend Vita joins me to answer your questions.

This week’s letter opens a thoughtful discussion about cosmetic procedures at a young age — and it becomes a conversation about intention, timing, and self-confidence.

There’s no judgment here. Just honesty, experience, and care.

Because guidance matters — especially when decisions affect how someone sees themselves for years to come.

Final Thoughts

This episode reminds me why I started Party’s Over in the first place.

Whether we’re talking about nails, relationships, or financial agreements, the real conversation is always about self-worth. About recognizing when something empowers you — and when it quietly takes something away.

You deserve to feel confident, respected, and secure — emotionally, physically, and financially.

And when something doesn’t honor that?

Party’s over.
