Bo Peoples, aka Suburban Prince, is a friend whose TikToks have had me crying laughing at 2 a.m. more times than I can count. He brings that wild energy you see online into every room he walks into, but what people don’t always see is how sharp and intentional he is behind the scenes. In this episode, we’re diving into the chaos of going viral, how he crafts his characters, and how he’s achieved real success by refusing to give up—even when the odds were stacked against him.

In this raw and emotional solo episode, I open up about something deeply personal: my children’s father is in the middle of a very public relapse—and I found out through social media.

I share what it’s like to co-parent with someone in active addiction, the rollercoaster of emotions I’ve been feeling (rage, sadness, betrayal, empathy—all of it), and how I’m navigating keeping my kids safe while honoring my own mental health.

I also talk about how everything seemed normal—until suddenly, it wasn’t—and what I’ve learned from Al-Anon, therapy, and years of recovery.

This episode isn’t about blame. It’s about boundaries, truth, and choosing to let go of what I can’t control.

If you’ve ever loved someone in addiction, or you’re co-parenting through it—I see you. You’re not alone. Share your story in the comments. Let’s talk.
