In the very first episode of Close Friends Only, we’re kicking things off with the heavy, the hilarious, and the healing. I’m talking about my divorce (yes, we’re going there), what it feels like to grieve a life you thought you’d live, and why being your authentic self sometimes starts with everything falling apart.

We’re also discussing what the hell a “sepia bride” is (spoiler: she’s the aesthetic version of someone I’ll never be again) — and why I’m done romanticizing perfection and ready to romanticize truth.

💔✨ In this episode:

• Divorce, delusion, and rediscovering yourself

• The myth of the perfect woman and the “sepia bride” era

• How I’m learning to show up as the real me — even when it’s messy

If you’ve ever felt like you’re living a version of your life that doesn’t feel like you, this one’s for you.

Let’s be friends:
