Summary

Alessandra is back after a chaotic trip to Arizona—complete with an unexpected bout of hay fever—and she’s catching you up on everything from Pride in Asbury Park to her nieces visiting and a soul-stirring Teddy Swims concert at Radio City. This week’s “Spill the Tea” dives deep with advice on family betrayal, emotionally manipulative partners, messy weddings, weaponized therapy, toxic grandmothers, and friendship shifts after motherhood. Alessandra unpacks the reality of being single in your 30s, why kids today literally can’t read, and how fake allergies took her out. Tune in for brutally honest advice, heartfelt commentary, and the unfiltered chaos you come for.
