This week on Little Miss, I’m joined by Alex from Babes in Bookland  podcast to talk about the memoir That’s a Great Question, I’d Love to Tell You by Elise Meyers.

We dive into what we loved about the book, the parts that didn’t totally land for us (unfortunately most of the book,) and the bigger conversation it opens up about influencer culture. From vulnerability online to the pressure to perform authenticity, we unpack how social media personalities shape the way we see success, trauma, healing, and even ourselves.

Is being “relatable” the new currency? What message is social media sending to us everyday and how do we avoid buying it if neccessary? And how can we bring nuance and morality into our social media presence?

If you’ve read the book or have thoughts about influencers, memoirs, or internet fame, this one’s for you.

On this episode of Little Miss, we’re building my perfect man.

I’m sharing a little life update — what’s been going on lately, where my head’s at, and what I’ve learned from my recent dating experiences — before diving into the official wish list for my next boyfriend. Yes, we’re getting specific.

From the qualities I’m looking for to the long (and well-earned) list of “never agains,” this episode is part reflection, part manifestation, and part public service announcement.

If you’ve ever looked back at your dating history and thought, “Oh… that pattern again,” this one’s for you.

On this episode of Little Miss, we’re having a real, unfiltered conversation about what it’s actually like living with roommates — for over four years and counting.

We share our favorite roommate stories (the chaotic, the wholesome, and the predictable), the practical systems that have saved us when it comes to splitting groceries and shared expenses, and the biggest fight we’ve had since moving in together.

From awkward money conversations to learning each other’s quirks, this episode is part survival guide, part group therapy. If you’ve ever shared a fridge, a lease, or a passive-aggressive text thread — this one’s for you.

Because living together isn’t always easy… unless you're us!

On this episode of Little Miss, I’m joined by Hannah and Nicole from the Holding It Together podcast for a real conversation about starting from scratch as small podcasters — and learning to embrace the “cringe” that comes with putting yourself online.We talk about recording before anyone’s listening, posting to tiny audiences, and pushing past the voice in your head that says, “This is embarrassing.” But we also get into the deeper side of creating — how we decide what to share, what to keep private, and how to be vulnerable on episodes without oversharing or losing ourselves.From setting boundaries around personal stories to figuring out why we’ve kept going years after hitting publish for the first time, this episode is for anyone building something from the ground up.If you’ve ever felt awkward, exposed, or unsure while creating — you’re not alone. Sometimes the “cringe” is just the beginning.how to find Holding it Together:Instagram: @holdingitpodTikTok: @holdingitpod

On this episode of Little Miss, I talk about perspective after a breakup — being dumped over a text message after 7 months of dating, the red flags I wish I had noticed sooner when I was in that relationship, and how having an avoidant attachment doesn't give you a reason to be a cruel person.

I share what’s helped me get through this break up and what I’m learning about boundaries, self-trust, and moving forward in my life.

This episode is for anyone trying to make sense of a breakup and find their footing again and especially for the emotional "too much" girls out there like me.

On this episode of Little Miss, we’re sentencing the most annoying behaviors in modern society to actual prison (we wish at least.) From people who play music out loud on their phones in public (headphones exist, we promise), to the menace of replying “k.” to a heartfelt message, nothing is off limits. Ryley also confesses her own crimes—specifically her behavior at 13 years old and herself every month at a specific time, which absolutely warrants solitary confinement.If you love comedy podcasts, pop culture rants, and unhinged but relatable takes on everyday annoyances, this episode of Little Miss is for you. Tune in for chaotic opinions, self-incrimination, and the pettiest court of law you’ve ever heard.

On this episode of Little Miss, we talk about life after a long-term relationship with my friend, who opens up about what it’s really like starting over after being married for eight years. We discuss how identity shifts after divorce, the quiet grief that comes with losing a shared future, and how anger can linger long after a relationship ends.

We get into what healing actually looks like when the relationship is over — learning how to let go of resentment, redefining independence, and figuring out who you are when the life you planned doesn’t exist anymore.

This episode is about rebuilding, unlearning, and moving forward with clarity and compassion.

⚠️ Spoilers for Stranger Things season 5

Stranger Things Season 5 is finally here — and we have thoughts.

On this episode of Little Miss, we break down our honest reactions to Stranger Things season 5, from character arcs and emotional payoffs to what worked, what didn’t, and whether the finale actually delivered after years of buildup. We talk endings, nostalgia fatigue, the risks of fan service, and how season 5 fits into the legacy of the show as a whole.

This isn’t a scene-by-scene recap — it’s a conversation about storytelling, stakes, and why saying goodbye to a cultural phenomenon is harder than it looks.

Topics include:

• Stranger Things season 5 ending thoughts
