Summary

#236. This week we’re catching up on my current favs, think baby pink nails, slick back hair (no earrings vibe), and a little Vampire Diaries nostalgia. Then it’s time for Ask Lan, our monthly advice column.

We’re diving into everything from how to start journaling and making it part of your routine, to navigating friendships that don’t feel good anymore, and how to move on from a situationship when seeing your ex makes your stomach drop. I’m also chatting about perfectionism, people-pleasing, attraction in dating (and whether it’s shallow to care), and tips for making deep friendships in your 20s.

Plus, we’re touching on the messy middle of a relationship, when your needs aren’t being met but you’re not ready to walk away. It’s a full heart-to-heart episode packed with advice, reminders, and reassurance for whatever season you’re in 💌

I know I haven't been super consistent with uploading every single week. My goal is to upload at least two episodes a month right now, just with the chaos and how busy life is. Ideally, every single
