Summary

In this hilariously honest episode Alessandra catches us up on her whirlwind week of travel across New York, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Arizona; all while celebrating family milestones and reflecting on the joy (and chaos) of close relationships. She opens up about overcoming burnout, what it’s really like to pivot careers in your 30s, and how ADHD plays a role in managing creative; fast-paced work.

Plus, Alessandra reads your “Spill the Tea” submissions about everything from a friend stealing your baby name… for a dog?! The group vacation that turned into a group therapy session and more.

Alessandra gets real about growing pains in adulthood, being honest in communication without burning bridges, and how it’s totally normal to feel jealous when your friends are thriving;especially in your 30s. If you’ve ever felt behind, misunderstood, or just burnt out by people, this is your Monday reset.
