This week’s episode is pure chaos in the best way. I’m unpacking everything from the lawsuit circus with Cardi B (and the ghosts of past celeb lawsuits like Taylor Swift and Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard).Discussing the viral TikTok that exposed a gynecologist practice for posting photos of patients’ private discharge (yep, it’s as bad as it sounds), Sabrina Carpenter’s new album, Wednesday Season 2 + The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 brain rot, and frolicking with Butterflies while I am still stressed about trees.Dancing With the Stars cast announcement hype, and my ongoing journey of trial and error with lash clusters.

This week, Utah decided to give us everything: wildfires in Provo, blanket companies beefing like it’s the Superbowl, a CEO caught in the middle of closet rumors, and way too much local chaos for one weekend.

This episode is pure chaos in the best way. I had ChatGPT generate random questions and prompts— and I answered every single one on the fly. From oddly deep to just plain unhinged, this one’s a little nosy, a little weird, and very me.Perfect for your drive, your walk, or your “why am I like this?” moment.🎧 Let me know which question you’d answer totally differently 👀Welcome to Mic Check, Life Check— the podcast that feels like a journal entry, a late-night phone call, and a warm hug from your inner voice.

Utah’s divorce rate is doing numbers—and not in a good way. In this episode, I dig into how early marriages (and lack of actual dating experience) are unraveling fast in a culture that pushes vows before real compatibility. I also get personal with what I think makes a marriage actually work.Then we switch gears to the gym—because clearly everyone else is. Why are women’s gym fits causing moral panic? Is it empowerment, peacocking, or both? And why is every man in a hoodie suddenly a villain for looking in the mirror? We talk gaze, gear, and the weird little war over who gets to take up space.Welcome to Mic Check, Life Check— the podcast that feels like a journal entry, a late-night phone call, and a warm hug from your inner voice.

The finale has aired, the couples are crowned… but post-villa chaos? Things are just getting started. In this episode, I unpack the end of Love Island and dive into everything happening after the firepit: who's rising, who's flopping, and what these podcast interviews (Call Her Daddy, Viall Files, Long Winded) are revealing about our favorite Islanders.And K-Pop Demon Hunters? Obsessed. The soundtrack, the animation, Huntrix’s album.. iconic. Plus: Bachelor in Paradise, The Summer I Turned Pretty, and a running commentary on pop culture feelings that seem to be changing daily.Welcome to Mic Check, Life Check — the podcast that feels like a journal entry, a late-night phone call, and a warm hug from your inner voice.

today i’m talking about the phrase “don’t yuck my yum” — i get the sentiment, but also… sometimes we need room to disagree, have preferences, or say “yeah actually, that’s not for me.”where’s the line between respecting someone’s taste and pretending everything’s valid? do we owe everything kindness, or are some things actually just a little weird?let’s get into it.Welcome to Mic Check, Life Check — the podcast that feels like a journal entry, a late-night phone call, and a warm hug from your inner voice.
