  • Spilling My GUTS

    Hello my friends! I'm back and I'm spilling my GUTS about why I ghosted the podcast & social media, and I'm digging into the new Olivia Rodrigo album - because I have so many thoughts. This album took the things that swim around in my head and put them into the most relatable lyrics. I love being a 26 year-old teenager....

  • Advice Sesh: Situationships, Bad Co-Workers, & Uncomfy Communication w/ Gia Fracalossi
    Hello my friends! Today I'm joined by my internet bestie and the host of Ambivalent Bitches, Gia, to read your advice submissions and take our best stab at providing some third-party advice - and I think we kind of killed it. We get into topics like unsupportive friendships, negative co-workers, sticky situationships, moving in with a partner, and more! I knew this would be the perfect episode to have Gia on for because, as you'll hear right away, Gia is compassionate, insightful, and so down-to-earth. This episode feels like you're having lunch with your girls or chatting on the phone with friends. We weren't able to get through all of the submissions, so stay tuned for a part 2 coming soon. Thanks to all who submitted and thanks for tuning in! Enjoy. :)

  • Stop Asking People When They're Getting Married
    If you've ever felt personally victimized by someone hitting you with the "are you seeing anyone?" or "when are you getting engaged?" or "you're still not married?" - this one is for you. In today's chatty episode, I talk all about my views on marriage, as an unwed woman in a 6 year relationship. *gasps in horror!* I'm so not on board with feeling like we need to achieve everything in our 20s. Ditch the rules and make your own. Oh and we also have a silly little giggle about the trends that I tried starting in middle school... thanks for tuning in and enjoy! :)
