In this episode, I’m talking about the kind of loneliness where you technically have friends, but never feel like you fully belong.

I open up about being the “floater friend” in high school, feeling invited but not chosen, and how that quiet hurt followed me into adulthood.

This one is for anyone who has ever felt outside of the group chat, the group photo, or the friend group entirely. You’re not alone.

I Thought I Was Fine

Hosted by Elli Freeman, Not So Chic feels like a late-night FaceTime call about the parts of life that don’t always make it onto Instagram. From heartbreak, friendships, and identity to confidence, loneliness, and growing into yourself — nothing is off limits. A podcast for the people who romanticize their lives while simultaneously spiraling. Some episodes feel chic. Some are… not. Both are allowed here.
