This week’s cozy chaos edition is coming to you from Sunday night brain-fog, walking pneumonia energy, kids yelling at bedtime, and possible ghost orbs floating through Morgan’s house. We talk NPC neighbors, the Sue Dillon “Marlboro Reds” voice, white rabbit TikTok symbolism, Orlando real estate magic, pop-culture drama (hi Ariana, hi Katy Perry, hi Hair by Chrissy), and why some people feel a little bit… soulless. 👀

But the heart of this episode is Natasha sharing the most mortifying, painful chapter of her life: a rushed early-20s marriage to her personal trainer, finding out he’d been cheating with one of her bridesmaids for a year, the shocking abuse and car-chase incident that followed, and the moment her dad told her, “You are not my little girl.” She walks through the shame, the healing, and how she rebuilt her life into something secure, safe, and actually joyful.

We close out with our “Thankful Series,” sharing what we (and our friends) are grateful for—especially secure love that lets you roam free and still feel deeply chosen (and yes, digital calendars that keep everyone alive). We tease Morgan’s part two, plus a fun holiday series with prizes coming up.

TW: Domestic violence, infidelity, emotional abuse. Please listen with care and skip this one if you need to. 💛
