Today I have the absolute pleasure of being joined by Anne Sundell. Anne is a self-proclaimed "comedian, writer, and elder TikToker" at the very old age of 28. We discuss everything from the craziness of the TikTok algorithm, to her budding film writing career, to why dating in your 20s is like getting a vaccine-- you're more protected from the red flags, just never entirely. This episode is funny, fun, and thoughtful, just like Anne. Follow Anne at anne_sundell on IG and Twitter and @annesundell on TikTok. Follow Caitlin on all 3 platforms @ckny1213.

Today I am joined by singer songwriter Leah Kate. Leah and I discuss how after moving back to her native LA and getting creative during the pandemic, she was able to hustle and get her song "F*ck Up The Friendship" to be used by some of the top TikTok creators in the game. She now boasts of 70 million plus streams and has a full EP out called "What Just Happened." The title of the episode (f*ck up the industry) refers to both her hit song and to how Leah trusted her gut and chose to be an independent artist and to not sign with a label. And damn, did it pay off. We also talk about some of the relationships and stories that inspired her hit songs, loving the word f*ck, the physical strain of performing and touring, comparison being the thief of joy, and so much more. Follow Leah on IG @leah, on Twitter @leahkatemusic, and stream her music wherever you listen.

Today I am joined by the ladies who need no introduction-- Krista and Lindsey of the Almost 30 podcast. Almost 30 was one of the first podcasts I turned to when researching podcasts and the theme of navigating your 20s, so to have them on as guests is truly an honor. Together, we explore many themes, including but not limited to their journey with starting Almost 30; female friendships and what it's like running a business with your best friend; why the late 20s are such a confronting time; and of course, their blossoming romantic relationships (congrats on the engagement, Lindsey!). This episode is deep and thoughtful, especially with the ladies' ever calming voices and presence, but also offers up some good laughs along the way.

Today I am joined by comedian, actor, and co-host of "OOPS the Podcast" Giulio Gallarotti. Giulio and I discuss his journey to becoming a successful comedian and some of the ups and downs he's had along the way. Other themes include maintaining energy when your job starts at night, why a slow burn can make for a successful relationship, NYC gossip girl/money culture, and more. Please note that this episode was recorded prior to the Dave Chapelle Netflix Special controversy, which I personally think makes Giulio's comments about him that much more interesting to reflect on and do so myself briefly in the intro.

Today I am joined by the Deputy Director of Social Media at BuzzFeed and expert on all things celebrity gossip, Emma Tyler. Emma and I chat about our time at Northwestern University together, including being part of the same sorority, debating whether or not sororities have aged well, Alabama rush TikTok compared to our rush experience, the types of people the school attracts, and so much more. Later, during the Quarter Life Qualms segment, Emma opens up about how she struggled with being taken seriously during her time at Medill Journalism School as a pop culture aficionado, but details how she pushed through and ended up with opportunities to work at places like Tigerbeat, People Magazine, and eventually Buzzfeed. We also get deep into celebrity gossip and in particular, the John Mulaney Love triangle and the Erika Jayne/Tom Girardi legal scandal (which I discuss listener opinions on in the episode intro with the results to my IG story poll). We end the episode with a game of 7 Tea Questions, and man oh man does Emma spill some celebrity tea. Follow Emma on IG, Twitter, TikTok and more @emmastonetyler.

After attending University of Pennsylvania and working at L'Oreal, Alli decided to go back to school to study to be an RD and life coach. We discuss how she decided on this change of path and why she is passionate about helping people (especially women) navigate eating and wellness. We get into a range of topics, including but not limited to the “thin ideal,” eating disorders vs. disordered eating, “shedding for the wedding,” how anxiety and mental health affects eating patterns, perfectionism, and more. We end the episode having Alli bust some myths about eating and diet culture. Follow Alli's journey on IG @eats.by.alli and reach out to her or me via DM for a consultation.

Amy and I discuss the science behind healing from a breakup and how her tips and research can be applied to help in all realms of life-- love, dating, friendships, your 20s, the list goes on! We start with discussing her major breakup and how what she thought was the end of her life started her down a whole new career path.

In today's episode, I am joined by return guest Lindsey Metselaar of We Met At Acme podcast. Lindsey is recently engaged to her now fiancé Steven, and of course when I heard the news, I knew I had to get her on. We start out by discussing the poll questions I asked on the podcast IG @wtfsuppod, and Lindsey guesses the majority vote then gives her take on the questions and what she would do. Examples include “did you have an idea of when your significant other would pop the question,” “would you want friends and family present,” “do you want a short or long engagement,” and more. Next, Lindsey tells her engagement story and how Steven surprised her by making her think she was planning the night, when in reality it was all a setup for a surprise engagement. We finish up by discussing her wedding planning, the trip she is currently on with her now fiancé, why she knew not to settle, and more.

Today I am joined by writer/director Jonah Feingold. Jonah recently premiered his first feature film "Dating & New York," which is available to watch in theaters and to stream now. Jonah and I start off by discussing how he and former guest Ilana Dunn ended up co-hosting the dating podcast "Seeing Other People." Afterwards, Jonah breaks down his new feature film and we discuss how he was able to push past the "nos" from Hollywood and forge his own path by making a movie without permission, landing him an amazing cast and IFC stamp of approval. We also get into the intricacies of dating as Jonah explains why dating has become such a topic of interest and something that has inspired him creatively. We finish up with a game of "mansplaining," where Jonah mansplains things that men (typically the heterosexual ones) do in relationships that confound women. This is a really special episode as it tackles a lot of interesting themes and is my first this season that really incorporates a male POV on dating.

TW: depression, suicidal thoughts, drug use Today I am joined by sexual educator and mental health advocate Eileen Kelly. Eileen and I discuss everything from how she started her iconic blog Killer and a Sweet Thang (KAAST) in her early teens, to how she launched her current podcast Going Mental with Eileen Kelly. Eileen opens up about how as her brand success grew, her mental health began to deteriorate in turn, causing her to check into the famous mental health hospital McLean. Together we discuss her time in McLean, the pros and cons of medication, the stigmatization of both sexual and mental health, and so much more. We finish off the episode with the segment “Quarter Life Qualms,” an examination of the 20s and her experiences as a 20-something, and a game of “7 Tea Questions,” 7 fun rapid-fire questions.

Today I am joined by writer and author Sarah Levy. Sarah's work focuses on the intersection of sobriety, relationships, and identity and has appeared in The New York Times, The Cut, Cosmopolitan, Refinery29, The Washington Post, and more. Her debut novel Drinking Games will be out in early 2023. Sarah and I discuss why Sarah decided to get sober despite not having a clear cut drinking problem. She gets into her life before vs. after quitting drinking and how difficult it was for her initially to come out to her friends, family, and the people she was dating, but how when she eventually did it, it changed her life for the better. She is passionate about how her decision has bettered her energy levels, relationships, body image, and more-- as she says in the episode, “it's like waking up in clean sheets every day.” We also get into how We Met at Acme podcast host Lindsey Metselaar introduced her to her now fiancé as well as her engagement story.

We explore a range of topics together, starting with how Ilana's time in the music industry and as Social Media Manager for Hinge prepared her for her current role as a dating podcaster. Next we get into Ilana's dating life and how she realized that being open about her past dating experiences helped both her and the people taking in her content. Other themes we explore include how men and women approach dating differently; why it's important to continue to make friends in your 20s and beyond; how society has glorified depression and negative self-talk; and so much more.

Today I am joined by the wonderful activist, actress, consultant, model, producer, speaker, and writer Corey Rae. Corey tells her wild ride of a story, from transitioning from male to female at a very young age, to "going stealth" in college (AKA not disclosing her trans status), to living in LA as a vocal and proud woman and trans activist today. In particular, she touches on the experience of dating and details how dating as a female of trans experience can make an already complicated world even more complex. We then commiserate over the dating scene in LA, get into "Quarter Life Qualms," and play a rapid fire game of "7 Tea Questions."

TW: mental health, suicidal ideations Today I am joined by the bubbly, brilliant, and brave actress and podcaster Alessandra Torresani. Alessandra is extremely vulnerable and opens up about a variety of experiences she's had, including her longtime career in acting as well as her experiences living with bipolar disorder. We break down the meaning and intricacies of having bipolar disorder, as Caitlin is familiar with the condition, and discuss how mental health should be seen as existing on a spectrum instead of as black and white diagnoses. Alessandra details how she withheld her diagnosis for years due to the fear of being stigmatized, and opens up about how she finally “came out” with her diagnosis. We then get into the Britney Spears conservatorship battle and explain how, while we are both team Britney and want what's best for her, we both feel that there is probably more to the situation than the general public understands. We finish up with Quarter Life Qualms and a quick game of 7 Tea Questions. This episode is at once fun, informative, and deep, and definitely is one you don't want to miss.

Today I am joined by the hilarious Bengali-American comedian Usama Siddiquee. The interview starts out with Usama turning the tables on Caitlin and grilling her on her love life and her so-called “Southern drawl.” He then opens up about how he got into comedy instead of going to med school, his parents' initial aversion to that decision, and the documentary that inspired him to live “inside out”-- AKA for himself and not external validation. We finish up the first section discussing his time on America's Got Talent, where he made Simon Cowell laugh and offended Heidi Klum. During the Quarter Life Qualms segment, he discusses some of the differences between his 20s and 30s and the unique challenges our generation faces that boomers did not. We finish up with a rapid fire game of 7 Tea Questions. Follow Usama @usamastandsup and his podcast Mango Bae @yourmangobae.

TW: Eating Disorders Today I am joined by author and Her Campus Deputy Editor Iman Hariri-Kia. Iman discusses how she transitioned from singing and songwriting into working as a writer and editor for a slew of amazing publications, including Teen Vogue, Bustle, Elite Daily, Man Repeller, and now Her Campus. We start out the conversation discussing her time writing and working in the Sex and Relationship space, and how her commitment to writing openly and vulnerably overrode any fears she had about disclosing information on her former sexual experiences. Iman also writes openly about mental health and relays how some of these articles, while initially difficult for her Iranian-American family, ended up opening up conversations that otherwise would never have existed. This episode delves into a lot, but some other topics include the political nature of hair, especially for women of color; how what you do should not define who you are; the dangers of fit and diet teas and how they contribute to disordered eating; and the importance of youth culture and why Gen Zs inspire Iman and her writing. This episode is extremely insightful and satisfying, as Iman is equally eloquent in her speaking as she is in her writing.
