  • Part One: When a Good Marriage Isn’t the Right One

    Part One: When a Good Marriage Isn’t the Right One
    Sep 10 2025

    What does it really take to walk away from a “good” relationship that isn’t right for you? In this powerful episode, author and speaker Amber Rae opens up about leaving her nine-year marriage—a decision that others called brave, selfish, and everything in between. She shares how writing helped her heal, why staying “for the kids” or out of fear can do more harm than good, and how choosing love and authenticity—over comfort and expectation—can transform everything.

  • Part Four: How To Know When To Quit

    Part Four: How To Know When To Quit
    Sep 3 2025

    In this episode, I chat with Anna Kai, the queen of no-BS confidence, about why true confidence isn’t about being arrogant or “that bitch” — it’s about proving to yourself you’ve got what it takes. We dive into the power of quitting (yes, quitting!), why missing your boat might just mean you’re building a way cooler one, and how to stop comparing your life to everyone else’s highlight reel on social media.

    Anna gets real about feeling one step away from losing everything, even while living the so-called “influencer dream.” Her top advice for anyone feeling stuck? Experiment. Try new things, even if it’s scary or uncertain — that’s how you find your own path.

  • Part Three: Zoloft, Jet Lag, and Affairs

    Part Three: Zoloft, Jet Lag, and Affairs
    Aug 27 2025

    Aurora’s fresh off a chaotic Italian “romantic” getaway (spoiler: food poisoning), Anna’s typing from a walking pad while tapering off Zoloft, and somehow we still manage to cover everything from parenting burnout to the boldest cheating scandal ever caught on a jumbotron. We talk productivity myths, the strange clarity of driving, how oranges might be ancient throat medicine, and why 53 minutes is the max time Anna can tolerate being in a restaurant.
