Casually Spiraling

We are back with more Méami for a part 2. Enjoy!

I’m so excited for this one. This week’s guest is Méami, an actress, singer, content creator, wife, and mother who represents everything I started this podcast to talk about: doing it all and not limiting yourself.

In this episode we start from the beginning: what she was like growing up, whether she always knew she was a performer, and what it felt like to watch her dreams take off while we were both still working at the restaurant. We get into motherhood, she shares her insane birth story for the first time ever, what it’s like creating content with more eyes on you and more pressure to please, and why being real is her best content. Méami shares what it was like on the set of the L.O.L. Surprise! series, and I fully fan girl over her performance in Jawbreaker the Musical. If you’ve ever wondered whether you can chase big dreams and have a full life at the same time, this conversation is for you.

Midterm elections are coming up and I think a lot of us are going to let it slip by without showing up. Not because we don’t care but because it feels overwhelming and confusing and we’re not totally sure what we’re even voting for.

This week I’m breaking it all down, what midterms actually are, why they matter just as much as the presidential election, how to get informed without it being a whole thing, and the practical stuff like early voting and finding your polling place.

Resources mentioned in this episode:
 www.vote.org — check registration and find your polling place

It's October. This year somehow went by faster than any year I can remember. And I have a lot of feelings about where I am going into the last few months of it.

This week is a Q4 vibe check, life, what's coming, what I'm still working toward, and what I want the rest of 2026 to actually feel like. Plus the podcast is almost one year old and I need to acknowledge that because it's kind of a big deal.

Grind mode activated. Let's get into it.

I haven't booked anything. But something feels different.

This week I'm getting into the small signs that things are starting to move, a conversation with my mentor that I haven't been able to stop thinking about, and what faith actually looks like when it's not a permanent feeling but something you keep choosing to come back to.

For anyone who needed to hear that the signs episode comes after the stuck episode, this one's for you.

I redownloaded Hinge. And immediately started spiraling.

Here's my dilemma: I want to attract someone who will love my weird, goofy, unfiltered self. But also, they have to be attracted to me first. And the weird goofy version of me doesn't always translate in three photos and a bio before someone even knows me.

So this episode is about that tension. The one between wanting to be completely yourself from the jump and also wanting someone to swipe right. Between showing up authentically and showing up attractively. Between being real and being strategic.

We're getting into whether dating naturally requires a little bit of performance, what "just be yourself" actually means when someone has no context for who you are yet, the difference between being fake and just putting your best foot forward.

We talk about romantic breakups constantly. We have scripts for them, rituals for them, friends who rally around us after them. But a friendship breakup? You mostly just go through that one alone.

This week I'm getting into friendship breakups, the different ways they happen, how to know when it's time, how to actually walk away, and why losing a close friend can honestly hit harder than losing a boyfriend. Personal stories included.

You're allowed to grieve this one. Let's talk about it.

You sent in your stories. I have thoughts.

This week is a listener submission episode, your dating situations, friendship dilemmas, life scenarios, and would you rathers, and my completely honest unfiltered reactions to all of it. Some of these had me speechless. Some hit too close to home. 

Come for the chaos, stay for the reactions. Keep sending them in because we're doing this again.

In this Throwback episode from January, we’re diving into the subtle red flags in relationships. The ones that show up early but don’t feel serious enough to address at the time. Control disguised as concern. Jealousy mistaken for passion. Feeling unsafe to communicate. Being with someone who doesn’t respect your friends, your independence, or your excitement for life.
Red flags aren’t always dealbreakers in the moment, but they’re data. And ignoring data doesn’t make it disappear.

Only 2% of actors make their living solely from acting. The person you think just came out of nowhere has probably been at this for ten years. And auditioning isn't even half of what the actual job looks like day to day.

This week I'm getting into everything people get wrong about what it means to pursue acting — the money, the glamour myth, the overnight success lie, what the work actually looks like, and why one booking is never the finish line.
