He was obsessed with you... texting every day, planning your wedding in week two — and now he’s gone?? 🤬

This week on Literally, Not Okay, I sit down with The Daddy Academy himself, Niko Emanuilidis, to figure out why guys love bomb and then ghost, what it actually means when they say "I'm just not a big texter," and how to stop spiraling over mixed signals. 🙃

We talk:

💥 Love bombing vs genuine connection

🚩 Red flags on first dates

👻 Post-nut clarity (yep, we went there)

🧠 Why emotionally intelligent men are rare AF

💋 The importance of a good first kiss (sorry, Nick Viall)

& why your dating life is literally... not okay.

Let’s unpack the chaos together.

OMG you guys… I am LITERALLY not OK because I just sat down with comedian, writer, and former America’s Next Top Model contestant Sarah Hartshorne and it was chaotic, healing, hilarious, and deeply unwell in the best way. We’re talking everything from ANTM secrets and quarantine TikToks to her NEW BOOK You Wanna Be On Top?, bisexual awakenings, and why weed (in edible form) is actually self-care.

Sarah gets real about the exploitation behind reality TV, being trapped in a hotel post-elimination, the “Karen haircut” they gave her, and how a threesome basically changed her whole identity. I cried. I laughed. I spiraled. You're gonna LOVE her.

Literally, Not Okay – In this episode, I'm joined by my insanely fabulous friend, influencer and Editor-in-Chief of The 16th, Meg MacPherson! We talk all things beauty, fashion, nip slips, chicken fights, and why our inner teens were literal demons.

We also dive into the ickiest parts of influencer culture, how martinis can be a spiritual experience, and why being mean sometimes feels just so right. It’s chaos, it’s cathartic, it’s Literally, Not Okay.

This week on Literally, Not OK, I’m joined by one of my favorite unhinged girlies in comedy — Liza Treyger!! She's an actress, stand-up queen, co-host of That’s Messed Up, and the star of her Netflix special Night Owl — and babe, we get into it ALL.

We talk:

💨 Smoking weed daily (and maybe quitting??)

🍄 Taking mushrooms backstage with the Jonas Brothers

🎭 Getting summoned by Jon Hamm at The Comedy Cellar

🎥 Doing a scene with Michael Keaton

🧠 ADHD, bad habits, and what it’s like trying to grow while still being a hot mess

🏡 Plus: Real Housewives drama, yelling at our husbands, late-girl behavior, and why we still can’t clean our apartments

This episode is matcha madness, babe 💚 I’ve got the hysterical and unhinged Payton Payne in the studio, and let me just say — we’re talking grass-and-ass flavored drinks, fake job scams on Microsoft Teams (yes, The Rock might be involved), and more choad confessions than the internet is probably ready for.

We’re also answering YOUR voicemails — tackling college football husbands, needy-ass dogs, and an Amish plumbing horror story that will haunt you forever.

You guys… this episode is a full-on Dallas DICTIONARY. I sat down with the queen of recs herself — Courtney Stensland aka @StensInTheCity — and we covered literally everything you need to know about where to eat, drink, date, and accidentally run into your ex in this city.

We’re talking:

🍔 The best burger in Dallas

🍸 Where to happy hour without hating yourself

🌮 Hidden gems for date night (or girls' night)

🥂 Spots that are worth the hype — and ones that aren’t

💅 Aesthetic places to get drunk and take a selfie

❤️‍🔥 How to spot a red flag based on his restaurant choice

Also, yes — Sprouts is now a dating app, I’m still trauma dumping at Smoothie King, and I may or may not have signed up for a salmon sperm facial (again).

This week on Literally, Not Okay, I’m joined by Courtney Revolution—reality TV icon, pop culture kween, and host of the Toast to Tea podcast—and y’all… I don’t think I’ve ever been less okay in my life. We talk Vegas benders, fever blisters, Barry’s classes, and why my feet have elephantitis. (Send help.)

We also deep dive into all the things—from Britney spirals and Demi Lovato meet-cutes to Jonas Brothers mushrooms mishaps (yes, plural) and why Love Island post-show chaos is the new Olympics. Plus, Courtney spills some Circle tea and we spiral over why Housewives ain't housewiving lately.

I may be mentally, physically, and emotionally hungover—but the vibes were 10/10. Hydration required.

You guys... I finally got the icon, the equinox king, the gay gym messiah himself — Zach Signore — on the pod and we did NOT hold back. We literally raw dogged this entire friendship (yes, we’d never met before this and it shows in the best way possible). We get into Equinox steam room secrets, hot gym guys with no riz, our beef with Belle from Beauty & The Beast (she’s a pick-me, sorry), toe stretching, psyllium husk, diet coke addictions, raw milk conspiracies, and yes… ZACH CRIED TO A SONG ON THE STREET. Like, same.

This week on Literally, Not OK I am joined by my actual real-life angel sent from TikTok — the hilarious, talented, and stunning Andrea Lopez (@andrealopezcomedy)! We talk ALL the things: birthday breakdowns, missing weed pens, vomit flights, cheeseburgers soaked in Diet Coke, and why I’m literally in my “show me how good it can get” era. Andrea opens up about her major breakup, the chaos of car rentals, and how she rewired her whole brain post-heartache. We also dive into our worst habits, our “hear me out” crushes (shoutout animated Tarzan), and Andrea absolutely ends the episode with iconic impressions of Todd Chrisley, Kristen Cavallari, and Teresa Giudice.

GUYS. I rode solo this week and clearly had a lot to say. We’re diving into Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s alleged engagement (I’m literally proud of them??), internet hate, my Swiftie husband, and a full chaotic recap of the Love Island Season 7 reunion – from PR-trained drama to ball-licking controversies (you heard me right). Nothing was off limits, including questionable TikToks, fake couples, and why everyone needs to chill out over 23-year-olds.

Also, PSA: If your butthole is bleeding or your friend’s being toxic, call me.
