Gurlll Listen

My So-Called Teenage Life

Gurlll… we’re going way back for this one. High school. The drama, the crushes, the awkward dances, the band trips, the prom nights, and all the messy, hilarious, and sometimes heartbreaking moments in between. In this episode, I’m spilling my own stories — the good, the bad, and the “what was I even thinking?” — and then opening the floor to some of my classmates to share their experiences too.
This one runs a little longer than my usual episodes, but trust me, it’s worth it. High school was too juicy to cram into just a few minutes, and I wanted to give space for all the laughter, sass, and real talk you know and love.
So grab your scrunchies, your silver sparkly dress, or your band uniform (hey, no judgment!) and join me for a nostalgic ride you won’t want to miss.

More Than a Number: My Story With Weight, Shame, and Self-Love

This episode of Gurlll, Listen is personal — real personal. I’m pulling back the curtain on my lifelong journey with weight, body image, emotional eating, and that sticky, suffocating shame that so many of us carry.

But this ain’t just a story about pounds and pain. It’s about power. It’s about reclaiming my worth and rewriting the story that my value is tied to a number on a scale or a tag in my jeans. Spoiler alert: It’s not.
We’ll talk food addiction, dating while fat, doctor drama, mental health, and what it really means to practice self-love when the world tells you you’re “too much.” Because guess what? You’re not. You’re a whole damn masterpiece in progress.
