Summary
In this heartfelt and hilarious episode, I sit down with my dear friend Alanna Noel, proving that some friendships are built to last through life’s wildest twists and turns. Alanna’s BACK BABY and ready to open up about her journey through depression and grief after losing her mom, while I share my own experiences with loss and mental health. Together, we mix up a recipe for “crazy,” tackling the stigma around being emotional, embracing self-care, and, of course, the “crazy cat lady” label.
We also spill the tea on our careers in reality TV, the pressures (and perks!) of social media, and our takes on relationships and dating. Along the way, we share favorite shows, podcast recommendations, pop culture obsessions, and plenty of cat chat. This episode is packed with heart, humor, and the unfiltered honesty of two friends navigating life together.
Plus some brand new tea on the Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell breakup!
