Summary

#866. Kaitlyn sits down with the internet’s favorite pop culture historian, astrology girlie, and professional yapper — Tefi Pessoa. From being the “worst receptionist” to landing her own talk show, going viral on TikTok, and now launching her new podcast Tefi Talks with Vox Media, Tefi takes us through the unfiltered evolution of her career. The two cover everything from past life regressions (turns out Tefi was once a large Scottish man), to surviving on olives and noodles in New York, dodging the male gaze, and what it’s really like interviewing icons like Nicole Kidman on the red carpet. Plus, she shares the advice she gives online (and sometimes needs to take herself), her karaoke lineup, and why Stevie Nicks would be her dream gossip partner! It’s the ultimate girl gossip sesh — tune in now!
