In this episode, Daniela shares:
⚡ Why failure is her greatest teacher

⚡ Why she’ll always choose to be “the bigger box”

This episode is all about The Bash—our new Sunday residency that brings the whole city outside.

Hosted at Sip from 2 to 7PM, The Bash is where community meets chaos, movement meets music, and everyone shows up as they are. It’s loose. It’s fun. It’s sweaty. It’s giving cookout energy—but not at your auntie’s house.

We linked up with Jacksonville Bestie to bring this vibe to life, and while our events are separate, this one’s a collaboration. Different brands, same city, same wild joy.

If you’ve been asking what The Bash is, this is your invitation. Come see for yourself.

This week on We Are Feral, your co-hosts Gigi & Susan get into the real cost of healing and we’re not talking in metaphors.

From therapy sessions to spiritual retreats, from quiet time to major investments in your mental health…we talk about what it actually took to start feeling okay again.

Susan went on a full-on retreat to reset. Gigi’s been through her own journey with stress and survival. And through it all, we both realized: healing is hard, personal, and expensive.

We’re not selling you a solution. We’re just telling the truth.
