  • You're Not An Actor, You're Just Unemployed: Lucid Dreaming with Lauren Edwards
    Oct 28 2025

    This week, I’m joined by hilarious and whip-smart comedian Lauren Edwards! We unpack the perils of dating male actors, micro-feminism and patriarchy chicken, unhinged relationship rules (spoiler: two toilets minimum), and the espresso martini agenda.

    We share horror date stories, debate Beyoncé, give Leo DiCaprio the side-eye, and reveal the weird celebrity icks we can’t shake.

    Plus: why musicians pull, the lucid dreaming scam, and Val Kilmer being Lauren’s Batman hill to die on.

    It’s chaotic, confessional, and cathartic, perfect for anyone who’s ever cried post-situationship or considered dating a guy because he owns a guitar.

    Enjoy the mess divas!!!

  • Time Disables Everybody: Changing Perspectives with Zoe Simmons
    Oct 13 2025

    I’m joined by writer, journalist, speaker, and fierce disability advocate Zoe Simmons, who shares her raw take on dating while disabled, navigating ableism, and why accessibility matters for everyone.

    Zoe opens up about the realities of chronic illness, invisible disabilities, and what it’s like dating as an autistic, chronically ill queer woman in a world that often gets it very wrong. We talk ghosting, medical gaslighting, using mobility aids, and the joy of finding real connection.

    From wild date stories to calling out performative inclusivity in media, this episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to better understand how to show up, speak up, and do better.

    Featuring: toxic exes, awkward dates, sensory joys, chronic pain, internet crushes, and Zoe’s dream of writing a TV show where disability is just part of life — not the whole plot.

  • Villain Era: Unhinged Girl Logic with Ashleigh Ohlsen
    Oct 6 2025

    I’m joined by my new fave TikTok obsession Ashleigh Ohlsen, better known online as Baccy Bong, for an unfiltered chat about dating disasters, softboi epidemics, feminist rage and entering our Villain Era.

    We unpack:

    • The “painted nails and pearl necklace” misogynist plague

    • Sober dating, ghosting, and girl math stalking

    • Why your lamp-less man is not worth saving

    • Skaters, softbois, rugby thirst traps & dog test theory

    • Feminist hills to die on (including: men should be born in jail)

    Plus: trauma bonding, period simulators, Roman Empires, and why we’re blocking first and processing later.
