This week’s episode of the Bachelorette was surprising, frustrating, cringy, and Wicked.  I have a lot to unpack about everything from Sam’s departure, to Jenn’s style choices, to the Wicked date that I wanted so much to love and many more opinions in between.  We also had a lot of Bachelor Nation cameos this episode.  What did I think of these?  Join me won’t you and find out!

On this week’s episode I recap Jenn’s episode 5 of the Bachelorette.  Two one on ones, a big sheep group date, my fashion analysis of Jenn, a romcom rain kiss, a great set of sheep farmers and a big lack of drama.  I talk about all these things and more, so join me won’t you?

This week I am recapping episodes 3 & 4 of Jenn’s season of the Bachelorette.  The men of this season are making my head spin.  I discuss Sam M’s complete 180 since episode 1 and  my thoughts on his building jump one on one date with Jenn.  I talk A LOT about Sam N’s super weird behavior that had America cringing.  I also of course cover Devin, his one on one, and who he reminds me of (and it’s not Pete Davidson).  There’s a lot to talk about and I hope that you join me…won’t you?

I'm so excited to have Emily on the podcast again except IN PERSON!!! It was even more fun to have her on the same couch with me as we discuss our final thoughts and conclusions on the seasons of Vanderpump Rules, The Valley, and Summer House. Then we get into the current seasons of RH of New Jersey and Dubai. And then we get into the nitty gritty of anyalyzing and picking apart the men of Jenn's season. Who has potential, who is cringy, who will we love, who will annoy us. We get way into the weeds with this analysis, so join us won't you?

Allie joins me again on this week’s episode as we discuss the topics of self awareness, bad habits, confrontation, and situational personalities.  We also talk about how anxiety can affect each of these things, and talk about how we each view ourselves and each other when it comes to these traits.  I then finish off the episode by asking Allie an array of questions about how she views her life in NY now that she has lived there for two years.  I ask her about pros, cons, dating life, food experiences, opportunities and what she misses from the rural life.  Join us won’t you?

On this week's episode I welcome back Dawn Meyer, who was my second ever Rose Interview, to see what she is up to these days. She stepped back from Instagram for awhile and we talk about why, what brought her back, and how she is now changing with the ever evolving world of influencing on Instagram. She shares some of her tips, her struggles, her victories and how she is learning to be more patient with herself. I also ask her some fun "get to know you" questions that have nothing to do with Instagram during which I learned a fun fact about McDonald's that shocked me!! We have a lot of fun so join us won't you?
