Whoever Told You Your 20ies Are the Best Time of Your Life, They Were Lying
EP86: Let’s be real—your twenties are often hyped up as the best years of your life, but they can also be some of the most challenging. In today's episode, I'm going to open up and share a mix of experiences, from the wildest birthday parties to those moments of reflection where I wonder, “What was I thinking?”
Your twenties are meant to be a struggle. We have all been there. Dating mistakes, money problems, major hangxiety, outgrowing friendships, and feeling like we don’t fit in.
We've all had our fair share of dating mistakes, financial struggles, and times when we’ve felt like we just didn’t fit in. I'll delve into my own journey, discussing moments of confusion, the pressure to please others, and why embracing your true self is so important.
If you are feeling lost, you are not alone. It is a decade full of uncertainty. So grab your headphones, and let’s get into it.

Blunt Commentary: Love Is Blind S6 ft. Lisa Gilmore
EP84: Like most BFFs right now, my friend Lisa and are getting down and dirty discussing the most recent season of Love is Blind. We're sipping wine to get the convo flowing, and we're ready to unpack all the unhinged behavior from this season.
Let me give you a sneak peek of our unfiltered opinions: Trevor is just seeking fame and attention, Chelsea is not exactly a Megan Fox lookalike (no offense), Johnny seems to be clueless about protection (but we hope he figures it out for Amy's sake), Sarah Ann and Jeremy are the worst, and someone needs to check on Matthew (although AD might be doing that post-show). As for Clay, he's either a weak man or a work in progress (but he needs to step it up).
We have a lot more to say and trust me, you don't want to miss it. Our final question is for all of you: Is love blind? Grab a drink, sit back, and join us as we laugh, vent, and spill all the tea on Love is Blind. It's a wild ride, and we're here for it.
Episode highlights…
Would you do reality TV just to get famous?
Jimmy’s disappointment with Chelsea

Why we are huge fans of Jessica
Sarah Ann’s and her problematic behavior
