In this fun and wildly introspective episode, Valeria sits down with her assistant Celine for a whirlwind conversation about identity shifts, AI friendships, consumer habits, and the existential spiral that comes with a “silly little coffee.” The two explore everything from Coachella fashion and almond milk conspiracies to the real emotional support offered by ChatGPT (aka Echo). Valeria reflects on her solo trip to Japan and a recent identity shift, while Celine opens up about entering her Saturn return and leaning into her feminine energy. From crying over Record Ralph to losing a vlogging camera in Kyoto, nothing is too silly or too deep to unpack in this hilarious yet thoughtful convo.
