This week, Halley and Jaz are back behind the mic, but they’re not alone. If you’ve been rocking with Delusional Diaries since the early days, you already know her (and probably love her). And if you don’t… allow us to introduce: Eli Rallo. Writer, content creator, podcast host, professional rule-maker, and queen of saying exactly what we’re all thinking. Eli first blew up on TikTok with her iconic “the jarr” videos, and since then she’s built a ride-or-die community obsessed with her mix of humor, honesty, and that big sister who tells it like it is energy. Oh, and casual flex, she’s already the author of two books with a third on the way.

From reminiscing about their “freshman class” days in the New York influencer scene to catching up on weddings, book tours, and everything in between, this episode feels like a full-circle moment. The trio dives into the realities of growing up online, from cringing at old videos to learning to feel confident in your late 20s. They also swap stories about early event-hopping nights, the evolution of their careers, and the misconceptions people have about friendship changes. Of course, there’s plenty of wedding talk, Taylor Swift engagement theories, and the sacred art of being perfectly “wedding drunk.”

Eli opens up about writing her second book, the emotional process behind it, and the exciting leap into fiction with her upcoming third. It’s an episode filled with nostalgia, laughter, and honesty, proof that every era of life brings its own kind of magic. If you missed her, it’s time to catch up. If you’re new, you’re about to fall in love. Either way — this episode is one for the books.
