Barely Goodbye: Dating, Lessons, and New Beginnings Oct 15, 2025

Show notes

I hate to be the bearer of bad news… but this is the last episode of Barely Filtered! But this isn’t goodbye! Over the past two years, we’ve laughed, cried, and been through it all—my divorce, dating disasters, and unexpected love.

In this final episode, I reflect on my wild ride through the dating world and share the lessons I’ve learned about self-worth, red flags, and putting yourself out there. I also open up about meeting Zac and how believing in the process led me to exactly what I wanted.

Don’t worry! Barely Filtered is transitioning to YouTube—so keep your subscription, follow along, and watch all the surprises unfold—from engagements to everyday moments you won’t want to miss.

Engaged, But the Ring Didn’t Fit Oct 08, 2025

Show notes

I’m officially engaged! I spill all the hilarious, chaotic, and heartfelt details—from a Paris proposal that left my finger looking like a sausage, to Luxembourg Gardens, Eiffel Tower boat rides, and the unexpected truths about dating, love, and life at 36. Plus, my hot takes on why I like Rhode Island, New Jersey and New York Italian food better than Italian food in Italy, European wine, and how my kids reacted to this big news!

Mom Truths & Chaos Oct 01, 2025

Show notes

I sit down with Cat & Nat—the unfiltered honest moms who share a social media account, a bank account (their husbands, both named Mark, have zero access!), and a mission to keep it real about motherhood.

We talk newborn survival mode, navigating the messy world of parenting online, and why stepping away can actually make you a better mom. From mom ruts to tracking teens, from internet trolls to finding the fun in the chaos—these two show how honesty, humor, and a little rebellion can make motherhood feel a little less impossible!

Marrying Zac? Ranking My Siblings? Who Killed Charlie Kirk? Sep 24, 2025

Show notes

This episode is a rollercoaster, and I’m taking you with me. I went through your DMs and voicemails and pulled the most unhinged (and hilarious) questions — and we’re covering it ALL. We’re diving into three categories:

Siblings – Who’s my favorite right now? Who’s annoying me? Would I call Olivia if I went to jail? (Yes.) Would I call Sophia? (Only if she’s awake.)

Zac – Are we talking marriage? What’s my favorite part of his body? Also, can someone please stop him from buying more clothes?

Random – From my favorite cringe song (yes, I sing it) to my most irrational dating ick. AND — my manager Nikki drops a wild question: Who killed Charlie Kirk? Is this a conspiracy? And what is Candace Owens saying?

Part Two: Should I Stay or Go? Sep 12, 2025

Show notes

Is it braver to stay and fight for your marriage—or to walk away when it no longer feels right? In part two of this conversation, Amber Rae discusses the messy middle of love, conflict, and commitment. She shares why leaving wasn’t the end of her struggle, how she met the man she calls her soulmate, and why conflict isn’t what kills relationships—avoidance is... and what it really takes to build a relationship that lasts.

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

Show notes

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 Sep 03, 2025

Show notes

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 Aug 27, 2025

Show notes

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.

Part Two: Boomer, Gen Z Hobbies & Fart Debate Aug 20, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, I get called a boomer—by my own boyfriend—because of my love for grandma hobbies like baking and knitting, but honestly, that might make me peak Gen Z. I break down some of the lingo Gen Z is using (no cap), question whether weddings are just overpriced stress-fests, and debate with Anna about whether farting in front of your partner is a sign of closeness or a total romance killer.
