Novelist, essayist, and publishing coach Leigh Stein returns to the show to discuss her new gothic-inspired novel, If You're Seeing This, It's Meant for You. Set in a Los Angeles “hype house,” the book follows a 39-year-old woman managing a mansion full of TikTok influencers—and confronting the realities of aging out of digital media. Leigh talks about the inspirations behind the novel, from a Frank Lloyd Wright house to parasocial relationships to the controversies around Joan Didion's private papers. We also explore bigger questions: the future of Substack, fandom as a cultural force, the blurred line between art and content, and how young writers can navigate the creator economy. Along the way we get into Coldplay-Gate, public shaming as a modern scarlet letter, and what it really means to make a living while making art. About the Guest: Leigh Stein is the author of six books, including the satirical novel Self Care and her latest gothic novel, If You're Seeing This, It's Meant for You. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Yorker online, Airmail, Allure, ELLE, BuzzFeed, The Cut, Salon, and Slate.

Sometimes, on occasions that are getting rarer and rarer, Instagram can be a place of great discoveries, and Becky Barnicoat was one of those for me. A cartoonist published by The New Yorker, Grazia, The New Statesman, The Guardian, BuzzFeed, New York Magazine, Private Eye and Netflix, she had recently published her deeply funny and touching graphic memoir “Cry When the Baby Cries”. For years, her observations of daily life and motherhood made me burst out laughing (often when I needed it the most). So join me as I finally get to laugh together with Becky! Hear her inspiring story about becoming a succesful cartoonist after years of hearing she wasn't good enough, and was dreaming of a job that didn't exist. And learn wise lessons from her and her mom Catherina about motherhood being a source the fulfilment, about creating a warm home through routine and light, about teaching our duaghters through our stories, and breaking generational cycles. To learn more about Becky, her work, and her new book, visit her website here, or her Instagram profile here.  Subscribe to Ana's new "Mama Loves…” newsletter here.  To contact Ana, to be a guest, or suggest a guest, please send your mail to: info@thankyoumama.net For more about “Thank You, Mama", please visit: http://www.thankyoumama.net Connect with Ana on social media: https://www.instagram.com/anatajder/ https://www.facebook.com/ana.tajder    

In this behind-the-scenes solo, I'm sharing a real-time look at starting our family's newest business, The Tide & Table Collection. From luxury travel roots to short-term rental dreams, I'm unpacking the vision behind the brand, the meaning of its name, and the wild plot twist that's putting our Hilton Head condo on a brief pause just days after closing. It's messy, unfiltered, and honest — because starting something new is never linear. I'm opening up about the hurdles, the mindset shifts that kept me grounded, and why your “messy middle” is not proof you're failing…it's proof you're building. Follow along with The Tide & Table journey at @thetideandtablecollection or tidetablecollection.com.

Kellie would like to watch more documentaries with Allen and found a couple on Instagram who gave a list of their favorite true crime docuseries.

What does it take to unravel the sinister side of internet fame—and how do influencers become a little bit culty? In this episode, we sit down with BuzzFeed journalist and chronic digital deepdiver Chico Felitti, whose reporting on influencer Kat Torres inspired Season 2 of Wondery's hit Guru series, “Don't Cross Kat.” Chico shares how seemingly glamorous social media personas can mask disturbing stories of manipulation and missing followers, and why Brazil's obsession with the American dream made Kat's rise—and the disappearances connected to her—even more chilling. We unpack the magnetic allure of online personalities, the blurred lines between fandom and control, and the real-life consequences for those drawn into one influencer's orbit. If you thought lifestyle influencers were harmless fun, this episode might change your mind.Follow Chico on Instagram @chicofelitti.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

Inspiriert von Hannah Arendts Überlegungen zur Banalität des Bösen widmet Alexandra sich in dieser Folge dem Gehorsam, der sich nicht nur gegenüber Autoritäten, sondern auch gegenüber gesellschaftlichen Idealen oder Gruppennormen zeigt. Wo suchen wir heute Zuflucht im Gehorsam, um Verantwortung von uns zu schieben? Und stimmt es, wenn wir sagen, wir hätten "keine andere Wahl"?Auch bei Katrin geht es um Verantwortung: Das Thema ist Ghosting, also der plötzliche Abbruch des Kontakts ohne ein Wort der Erklärung. Warum tun Menschen das? Manchmal geschieht es ohne böse Absicht oder aus reiner Bequemlichkeit, doch beim Gegenüber hinterlässt es oft Verletzungen und nagt am Selbstwertgefühl. Ob in Freundschaften oder in der Liebe: Ghosting wirft Fragen nach Nähe, Verantwortung und dem Umgang mit Konflikten auf. Wir brauchen deine Unterstützung!Anekdotisch evident lebt im Moment über seine Verhältnisse. Um jeden Monat eine Sendung auf die Beine zu stellen, brauchen wir 500€ – bitte helft uns dabei, die Lücke von etwas über 100€ zu schließen. Danke

In this solo episode, I'm sharing 5 real-life rhythms I'm leaning on right now to simplify life — from meal planning and date nights to slow mornings and protecting white space on my calendar. Whether you're in back-to-school mode or just in a season that feels full, this is your permission slip to pause, rethink your routines, and make room for what actually matters. None of these tips are groundbreaking, but they've made a big difference in how grounded, steady, and connected I feel in this chapter — and I hope they help you too. Inside the episode: My Sunday meal planning rhythm (and how I actually stick to it) Why I have always prep for mornings at night The case for date night in every season My early wake-up routine (and why it works for me) How I'm protecting margin in my work calendar — and my life If you're feeling overwhelmed, let's simplify together.

Tonight I'm talking about everything that's happened this first week of press for the stars of Love Island US S7, Olandria's first interview, predictions for the reunion & Buzzfeed's BS 'Apology' to Chelley **TW: Racism**

This week, we're playing a game of Do We Agree? by reacting to a Buzzfeed article where marriage counselors share the biggest “warning signs” to look out for in a partner. We debate everything from love bombing (“If someone tells you they love you after the 1st or 2nd date… run for the hills”) to the inability to handle rejection, emotional regulation issues, and scarce communication, like when someone texts you nonstop at first, then suddenly becomes “too busy” to reply. Along the way, we share our own real-life experiences and personal scenarios that either prove the point or totally contradict it. Play along and see which ones you agree with!

In this episode, I'm sharing something I've been excited (and a little hesitant!) to bring to the podcast—an honest preview of the Your Brand of Beautiful Method: the 3-part framework I teach at retreats, sorority chapters, and conferences to help women stop spinning their wheels and start designing a life that actually feels like theirs. You'll hear how this method was shaped not only by my own personal journey, but also by the common threads I've seen across countless conversations—with podcast guests, audiences I've spoken to, and women from all walks of life. If you've ever felt stuck, lost in the noise, or like your life looks good on paper but doesn't quite feel like you—this one's for you. This is not the full keynote or workshop (you'll need to bring me to your community for that!), but I hope this episode serves as a powerful preview, a soft reset, or even a starting point. I walk through: Why busyness might be your biggest barrier to clarity How to quiet the noise—in your mind, schedule, and environment What it means to truly start being you If you love this episode and want to hear the full talk in person, head to www.bailiewhite.com or email me directly at hey@bailiewhite.com.

If you are an overthinker who often feels anxious and stuck, this episode is for you! You will be encouraged to unlearn the idea that anxiety should be avoided. Instead, you'll be motivated to approach these feelings with curiosity for more ease. To lead this conversation, Kelly is joined by fellow Canadian minimalist, spoken word artist, musician, international best-selling author, and former elementary school teacher, the incredibly insightful, Humble the Poet, to share insights from his latest book, Unanxious: 50 Simple Truths to Help Overthinkers Feel Less Stress and More Calm. Humble has been featured in the New York Times, Buzzfeed, Vogue, Rolling Stone, and HuffPost, and his book has earned high praise, including from his friend and leading podcaster Jay Shetty, who writes, “Three pages in, you'll feel 1,000 lbs lighter.” In Unanxious, Humble shares how he once numbed his anxiety, and how getting curious about his triggers helped him let go of unhelpful coping patterns, embrace discomfort, and experience more peace. In this first part of Kelly and Humble's two-part discussion, Humble talks about the 90-day dopamine fast he undertook to reset his nervous system, the benefits of feeling emotions even when they're uncomfortable, and how minimalism can reveal (rather than erase) anxious thoughts, creating space for deeper self-awareness and reduced anxiety. Be inspired to stop avoiding and start embracing discomfort to ease anxiety and live more in alignment with your true self.

What happens when you grow up being told your body isn't yours, your desires are dangerous, and your worth is tied to being someone's “only one”… and then you finally break free?In this powerful conversation, I'm joined (again!) by Leah Carey, relationship and intimacy coach and former host of Good Girls Talk About Sex, to talk about what so many folks discover after leaving high-control environments like purity culture, religious abuse, cults, or narcissistic family systems:→ The floodgates of curiosity open—and suddenly queerness, kink, and non-monogamy are on the table.We dig into:Why exploring outside monogamy can feel like a reclamation of autonomyHow high-control systems shape our nervous systems and sexual wiring (and why “just getting over it” isn't a thing)The sticky shame messages ex-purity-culture kids drag into adult relationships—and how to start untangling themHow non-monogamy can be a massive relief during seasons of mismatched desire (and Leah's refreshing take on letting a meta meet your partner's needs)Why true sexual freedom often starts with learning what your real yes and no even areIf you've ever thought, “Why can't I just be normal about love and sex?” this episode will remind you—you're not broken. You just weren't given a roadmap. And you get to write a new one.Links & Resources:Connect with Leah: leahcarey.com  | YouTube | @XOLeahCarey on socialsLeah Carey is a Relationship and Intimacy Coach and host of the podcast Good Girls Talk About Sex, which ran from 2019-2024.

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and attorney Paisley Piasecki — and y'all, this conversation is such a special one. We're talking all about writing new chapters, navigating big transitions, and what it really looks like to build a life (and community) from scratch in a brand new city. Paisley shares her journey of leaving a high-powered law career in NYC, moving to Savannah, and founding the now-thriving networking group Square 25. We talk about following your gut, creating space to think, and the underrated power of finding your favorite coffee shop when you're starting over. Whether you're in a season of change or dreaming about one, I think this episode will leave you feeling encouraged, seen, and maybe even a little braver. Here's what we cover: What to do in your first month in a new city The real reason she walked away from her “dream job” in NYC The power of journaling + getting granular when designing your next chapter How Square 25 grew into a creative hub for young professionals in Savannah Redefining what work-life balance actually looks like This one is full of heart, honesty, and real-life inspiration. Let's dive in. About Your Brand of Beautiful Host, Bailie White: Bailie White is a motivational speaker with nearly 10 years of entrepreneurial experience and a heart for serving, motivating, and encouraging women. After starting and scaling her first business — a luxury travel agency with a team of 15 women, a celebrity clientele, and multi-millions of dollars in annual sales — she sold the business after realizing what she once thought was her dream didn't fully align with the woman she wanted to become. Today, Bailie is the host of the Your Brand of Beautiful Podcast (debuting on Apple's Top Charts) and a published author and speaker. Bailie facilitates workshops and delivers keynote speeches to college women, young professionals, and mamapreneurs. She teaches these women how to Stop Being Busy, Quiet The Noise, and Start Being Them — she teaches them how to become Their Own Brand of Beautiful. Bailie has been featured in media outlets like Buzzfeed and Forbes, but is most proud of her title as ‘wife' and ‘mom' to her two small children. Bailie lives with her family on the outskirts of Savannah, Georgia. LET'S CONNECT!

Send us a textWe are back with special-expert-guest-on-all-things-BSC Kelsey for Part 2. We're still talking about how arson isn't the answer; because really, arson isn't the answer and perhaps that wasn't addressed strongly enough in the books. In this continuation of our exploration of all things Mary Anne, we're figuring out foreshadowing that doesn't pay off, the prevalence of babysitting 101 classes, single-parent stigma, and why Mary Anne cares so much about her shoe falling off. Fashion is a really big deal in these books and we identified the primary fashion types: New York, quirky, Steve Jobs as a 12 year old with a visor. In part 2 we're trying to figure out where our fashion choices land us as BSC girls with a helpful Buzzfeed quiz. These Books Made Me is a podcast about the literary heroines who shaped us and is a product of the Prince George's County Memorial Library System podcast network.
