#93 THE PARENT WHISPERER SAYS GENTLE PARENTING IS RUINING OUR KIDS WITH LAUREN MAGERS Nov 04, 2026

Show notes

You guys… I’m literally not OK after this one. 😭

This week I sat down with Lauren Magers: CEO, mom of four, self-made boss, and the woman people literally call “the parent whisperer.” She adopted two boys at 21, built a media company out of her garage while breastfeeding at midnight, and now helps 10,000+ families in 45 countries raise confident, world-ready kids.

We get into EVERYTHING: why gentle parenting might not be the answer, why your toddler doesn’t need an iPad at dinner, the cringiest parent trend on social media right now, and breaking generational cycles with our moms (wine and martini edition 🍷).

Trust me, whether you have kids, want kids, or are just the fun auntie like me, you’re going to love this one.

#92 INFLUENCER EVENTS, HARRY POTTER & SOBER ACTIVITIES IN DALLAS WITH ASHTON PRESTON Oct 28, 2026

Show notes

You guys… I’m literally not OK after this one. 😭

This week I sat down with one of my favorite Dallas creators, @mbk_ap, the man who is ALWAYS out in the streets finding the best things to do in this city. We talk about going from 2K to 50K followers basically overnight, juggling content with a corporate 9-to-5, and why influencers need to stop acting like celebrities and go touch grass.

Then we play a Dallas rapid-fire game and he tells us EVERYTHING: where to take a date, the best happy hours, brunch spots, the most overrated activity (sorry, Painting with a Twist), and a very spicy F/Marry/Kill: Dallas Neighborhood Edition. 👀

Plus Harry Potter hot takes, missing the World Cup energy, and his best advice for anyone starting content.

Send this to your group chat before your next night out in Dallas, and comment your F/Marry/Kill picks because I NEED to know. Don’t forget to subscribe! 💕

#91 ADULTS, GETTING FIRED & PERFORMING FOR THE JONAS BROTHERS WITH JOEY DARDANO Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

You guys… I’m literally not OK. Joey Dardano is one of the funniest people I’ve ever met, and this episode is pure chaos in the best way 😭

You know him from Wild ‘N Out and the new series Adults. And yes, he opened for the Jonas Brothers. He tells us how one DM turned into a tight five in front of a crowd full of 14-year-olds, and how he only cussed ONCE.

We also get into the deli customer who brought her mortadella BACK, getting recognized in a sauna mid-sweat 💀, surviving a bike crash, and the great height debate (5'6" or 5'7"… it depends on his sleep). Plus butt sunning. Don’t ask, just watch.

And then out of nowhere, Joey got real about therapy, anger, and why happiness takes work.

Subscribe, and comment your most delusional belief about yourself. I need to know 👀

#90 THEO VON, TESTOSTERONE SHOTS & BEING DISGRACEFUL WITH GRACE O MALLEY Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

You guys… I’m literally not OK. I have been sliding into this woman’s DMs for YEARS and she finally came on the pod!!

Comedian Grace O’Malley is here, and this episode is pure chaos in the best way. We get into Drake reposting her (and then quietly deleting it 👀), what it was like being brand new to stand-up and opening for Whitney Cummings, and her very nervous, very sweaty first big podcast appearance on Theo Von.

Plus, we play the Literally, Not OK rapid fire game and it goes completely off the rails.

Trust me, you’re going to love this one. Subscribe, and comment your most irrational beef because I need to know I’m not alone 😂

#89 PENN STATE, NEWBORNS & HOUSE OF BRAVO WITH DANA KURTI Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

You guys… this episode is ALL Bravo. If you're not a Bravo superfan, beat it 😂

I sat down with one of my oldest friends (and one of the biggest Bravo fans I've ever met), Dana, the face behind House of Bravo. We get into old Housewives vs. new Housewives, why so many of them are basically producing their own storylines now, and why Ultimate Girls Trip is reminding everyone how it's SUPPOSED to be done.

Plus BravoCon stories, Housewives turning into DJs (why??), and a full round of Housewives superlatives. Funniest Housewife, best reads, best liar… we had opinions.

#88 SOURIES, GETTING STYES & DANCING WITH THE STARS WITH RAYMOND PADILLA Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

You guys… I'm literally not OK. My new bestie Ray is in the studio, and this one is pure chaos.

We met IRL for the first time at a party last weekend. Within five minutes he was basically on my lap, and by the end of the night we'd both fought for the attention of a Harvard-educated eye surgeon. Ray also stole a chicken parm sandwich, got lost on the PATH, and ended up stranded in Jersey City. Iconic behavior.

We get into the stye saga (Ray is officially the face of the stye community), the influencers talking during US Open matches, why Dancing with the Stars is just TikTok, and who we're rooting for this season.

Trust me, you're going to want to send this one to your group chat.

#87 CONFIDENCE, VAGINA MASKS & THE AGE OF SOVEREIGNTY WITH CHELSIE B. RICHARD Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

You guys… I'm literally not OK after this one. 😭

This week I sat down with the incredible Chelsie B. Richard, top aesthetic sales consultant and founder of The Age of Sovereignty, and we got SO real.

We talk about owning the way you age, why confidence isn't something you can buy next to a Bottega bag at Nordstrom, and the one sentence that honestly rewired my brain: your brain doesn't give a fck about your dreams.*

Plus… Chelsie was secretly the go-to therapist for Bachelor Nation girls?! As a Paradise alum, I was SCREAMING.

And yes, we did a full QVC-style unboxing of a vagina mask. On camera. You're welcome. 👀

#86 PROPOSALS, FIRST DATES & GETTING MARRIED IN VEGAS WITH TYLER FERNANDEZ Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

You guys… I brought my HUSBAND on the podcast and I am literally not OK 😭

This week I sat down with Tyler Fernandez — my husband, my best friend, the man of the century — and we got into EVERYTHING. How we met, our proposal on a yacht with actual dolphins, and our tiny Vegas wedding at the Little White Chapel.

We also played a couples quiz to see if we're actually soulmates, and things got chaotic. Jersey vs. Texas culture clash? We get into that too.

This one is funny, chaotic, and way too real. Trust me — you're going to love this one.

#85 My Sister & I Are OBSESSED With Earl Meets World Sep 09, 2026

Show notes

I had a full blown depressive episode for the first time in years, and we get into all of it — plus the affirmations and Louise Hay content that pulled me out of it. We also cannot stop talking about Earl Meets World (we binged the ENTIRE thing in one night, no shame), I tell the story of accidentally traumatizing my 4 year old niece with a haunted bank, and I recap the time I sprinted up to Shaq at Nick & Sam's with two espresso martinis in me.

This one is chaotic, honest, and way too relatable. Trust me — you're going to love this one.

#84 Locked in My Garage & Having a MENTAL BREAKDOWN (Solo Ep) Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

You guys… I'm riding solo this week and it got DEEP. 🎤

This episode is basically a gratitude journal come to life — I'm talking Saturn Return depression, ADHD routines, my new "motherly energy" era, and the time I got LOCKED in my own garage this morning (my husband was zero help, per usual).

We also get into:

My Skinvive + neck lift results (I can't move my face, send help)

A big emotional shoutout to Dolly Parton

JERSEY SHORE IS COMING BACK and I have THOUGHTS

If you've ever been in your own great depression era, this one's for you — I promise it gets better.

Trust me, you're gonna want to send this to your group chat.
