Summary

You guys… I am LITERALLY not okay because Jessica Smith Evans from Laguna Beach just walked into my podcast and I blacked out.


We talked about everything — what it was actually like filming Laguna Beach as a teenager, how she got on the show (spoiler: she didn't even want to be on it), the most misrepresented scenes, and where she's at now as a mom of FOUR in DFW.


Plus we get into the Valley drama, toxic relationships, raising kids without social media, and why May is basically the new December.
