After a long, messy, human year, Vibin’ & Kinda Thrivin’ is officially back and this comeback episode is equal parts reset, reality check, and big-sister pep talk.

Alessandra opens up about why she went quiet in 2025 (burnout, anxiety, overwhelm, and the exhaustion of living through nonstop “once-in-a-lifetime” chaos). She talks about stepping away to protect her mental health, finding her “why” again, and what she’s bringing into 2026.

Then we jump into your Spill the Teas about a caregiver torn between loyalty, grief, and financial security during hospice care, a listener whose toxic ex moved two doors down and more.

If you’ve been feeling burned out, overstimulated, stuck in people-pleasing, or ready to rebuild your life with more peace and self-respect, this episode is for you.
