Join us this week as we spill the tea on what it's like to live alone for the first time in our thirties, complete with highs, lows, and everything in between. Plus, we dive into the colorful world of Pride Month and discuss the frustration of performative allyship (we're looking at you, Target and Bud Light) and the rise of the Y'all Queda. And if that's not enough, we get real about ditching the highlight reel and embracing vulnerability.
