ILY: Say it Back

ep.15 | heartbreaks, f bombs, + Pop flops, oh my...

In this episode, I’m diving into a week full of chaos—starting with my Nashville trip for Ranch Hands’ third birthday (and losing my keys), to my big news about performing at ACL. We’ll also dig into the F1 drama: Max Verstappen’s swearing scandal and Daniel Ricciardo’s possible mid-season exit. Plus, I’m giving my unfiltered thoughts on Katy Perry’s new album 143. And finally, I’m opening up about the one who broke my heart last summer. Tune in, remember to find what you love, love who you find, and always remember to say it back.

ep.14 | running on empty + my toxic relationship

In this episode, I’m diving into the chaos of my recent travels, including a wild trip to South Dakota with Ranch Hands, and the exhaustion that comes with living out of a suitcase. I’ll also share the ups and downs of my love/hate relationship with my Garmin watch—it thinks I’m lazy, and I’m not having it!

Plus, I’ll break down the highlights from the VMAs, including Chappell Roan’s killer performance and why Katy Perry’s set didn’t do it for me. And for all you F1 fans, I’m talking about the drama at McLaren and Lando Norris, with a little bonus about my upcoming US Grand Prix adventure.

Whether you’re here for the laughs, insights, or just to hang out, this episode has something for everyone. Tune in, and remember: find what you love, love who you find, and always say it back.

ep. 9 | have a great bidet

In this episode of ILYSIB, I talk about the things that I grew up with and what I have now, how I plan my purchases, and the differences that I had growing up to where I am now. A comical relief to some things that are very troubling in the world right now.

ep. 8 | remember when you were 18...

In this episode of ILYSIB, I talk about what my mindset was like in high school, who I thought I was going to be, where I wanted to go, and what I thought my life was going to be like. It clearly worked out just the way I thought and wanted it too... did it not for you?
