Figuring It Out

Figuring Out How to Show My Body Some Love

After a few weeks of consistently moving my body…and actually liking it, I’m reflecting on what it really means to reconnect with myself—physically and emotionally. This year, my only resolution was to take care of myself, and somehow that intention has finally stuck. No more punishing routines or restarting from zero every time life gets in the way.
 
In this episode, I’m getting into how I lost (and am slowly regaining) confidence in my body after dealing with health struggles, changing self-esteem, and what happens when your sense of worth has been tied up in how other people see you. It’s not just about appearance—it’s about actually feeling good in your skin and prioritizing your own opinion over anyone else’s.
 
Then it’s time for Shit Talk Therapy—because what’s self-growth without a little mindless TV? We’ve got murder mysteries with Grosse Point Garden Society and The Residence, family chaos in Good American Family, season 2 of Survival of the Thickest, the return of Black Mirror, starting with an episode that felt a little too much like a healthcare-themed fever dream—but, you know, with fun lighting and good casting—and of course, the Bravo madness: Summer House’s emotionally stunted Jesse and the The Valley premiere reminding us that no one self-sabotages quite like reality TV stars.

Figuring It Out: Being Wrong, Owning It, and Episode 20

For my 20th episode (can you believe?!), I’m talking about something I’ve spent most of my life avoiding: being wrong. From a business mistake that circled back a year later to an emotional overreaction with my boyfriend, this week has been one long lesson in accountability—but instead of spiraling, I’ve been… surprisingly okay?I open up about how apologizing and asking for help have always felt like threats to my self-worth, thanks to a childhood full of pressure to be perfect. But with some deep breaths, self-reflection, and grace (from myself and others), I’m learning that owning your mistakes doesn’t make you weak—it actually builds trust, connection, and confidence.In this week’s Shit Talk Therapy, I dig into Summer House and how Carl and Lindsay continue to prove they were never meant to cohabitate (let alone get married). I also get into Gone Girls on Netflix—definitely a wild ride—and share my thoughts on Pulse, the new Netflix series with some solid plot twists  and a conversation about what representation actually looks like when it’s done right.
 
 

Figuring Out If The Grass Is Actually Greener

After spending some time away (then festering in the darkness of my bedroom, contemplating absolutely nothing productive), I’m back and thinking about… where we live. Inspired by a trip to my boyfriend’s part-time-small-town life, this episode dives into an eternal debate: city vs. suburbs vs. literally anywhere else. Do we actually hate where we live, or are we just looking for problems? Are we dreaming of a better place, or just an escape from our own issues? And most importantly, are people who are happy where they live just… complaining less?Plus, in Shit Talk Therapy, I make up for lost time (and possibly lost brain cells) after consuming way too much TV. We’re talking lots of shows this episode, including Temptation Island’s chaotic relationship sabotage, Summer House’s messy grown adults, and whether RHOA will ever let me catch up.Wherever you are, whoever you are—let’s talk about why no place is actually perfect (but we might as well pretend it is).

Figuring Out Why I Keep Sabotaging My Own Social Life

I have spent years avoiding being that girl—the one who drags her boyfriend to every social event like an emotional support water bottle. But after a rare night out where he actually vibed with my friends, I had a groundbreaking realization: maybe my issue isn’t him, maybe I’ve just been living life on autopilot. This week, I unpack my tendency to stick to routines just because they’re familiar (even when they’re kinda mid), reminisce on my college years spent riding with a friend group that probably wasn’t really for me, and have a mild existential crisis about my long-distance friendships. Love that for me!
Then, it’s time for another Shit Talk Therapy session, where I dive into the Love Is Blind weddings and reunion (finally, some female empowerment after a snooze of a season), Running Point and the art of dismantling the patriarchy, Summer House and Kyle Cooke’s allergy to accountability, and my Traitors finale thoughts.

Figuring Out Why Living Alone Is a Must-Try Experience

After two weeks of living alone, I’ve come to a realization: I still love my independence… and damn, I kinda missed her. In this episode, I talk about why I believe everyone should live alone at least once in their life. From growing up in a packed house with siblings to suffering through questionable roommates, to finally living solo and now cohabiting with my partner, I reflect on what each experience taught me—and how knowing how to be happy in your own space is a low-key life hack for happiness in general.
Then, it’s time for another Shit Talk Therapy session, where I break down Cynthia Erivo’s Oscars snub, the latest unhinged drama on Love Is Blind, why I’m loving the Summer House girlies, and all my thoughts on the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion finale.

Figuring Out Where the Fun Went in My 20s

Somewhere between college partying and adult responsibilities, I forgot to actually have fun. Now that my 20s are winding down, I’m realizing I might’ve spent too much time lost in "adulting" and not enough time just living. In this episode, I talk about how I got here, what I want to change, and why I refuse to let my remaining 20s slip away in a blur of to-do lists.
And since we’re talking about fun, what’s more entertaining than other people’s mess? I’m bringing back another Shit Talk Therapy session, breaking down Love Is Blind and Summer House and their ongoing masterclass in relationship dysfunction, plus Apple Cider Vinegar on Netflix and why we should all think twice before taking life advice from influencers. And, naturally, I couldn’t not share my thoughts on the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion.

Figuring Out How to Birthday (And Not Let a Timeline Ruin It)

 It’s my birthday! I’m officially 28—which means I’m older, wiser, and finally over the made-up timelines I used to stress about. Marriage by 30? Millionaire by now? Yeah… let’s all relax. I’m letting go of the pressure, embracing where I’m at, and actually celebrating myself for once (because someone has to). Plus, a little inspo from my favorite Housewives proving that aging is nothing to fear—especially if you do it fabulously.

Figuring Out Relationships: The Honest Truth

Last week? A disaster. But in the name of personal growth, we’re calling it a learning experience. Turns out, pretending everything is fine doesn’t actually make it fine—who knew? This week, I’m unpacking my part-time-long-distance relationship stress, the importance of being honest (with myself and my partner), and why suppressing your feelings for the sake of "positivity" is a scam. Plus, a much-needed Shit Talk Therapy session covering the RHOSLC RHONY reunions, and Love Island All Stars. Because sometimes, reality TV is the only relationship drama I want in my life.
