    She had the dream life: fame, success, love, until it all started to break her.

In this unfiltered conversation, Jenna and Reese strip away the highlight reel and dive deep into the truth about heartbreak, identity, and the dark side of chasing perfection.

    Josie Ewing: I Met Him on RAYA… And Border Security Got Involved

    Season 2 kicks off with a story that honestly doesn’t sound real — but it is. Someone got flown out to see a man she met on Raya. Border security pulled up his Wikipedia mid-interrogation. There was an envelope of cash. She cried in customs, made it to dinner, and still had to act unbothered. We got into sugar daddies, MLB player dates, getting name-dropped in a petty TikTok, the downfall of a Bumble BFF friendship, and why confidence is sometimes built from actual delusion and trauma. It’s messy. It’s personal. It’s hilarious.This is the type of episode that feels like a Facetime call and a fever dream at the same time. You’re not ready. Go listen.

    #11 Behind The Mask: Ft Lauren Shoss

    Behind the Mask: Love, Lies, and Mental Health in the World of Pro Hockey Part 1 Who is Lauren Shoss? She’s a clinical psychology doctoral student at James Madison, a mental health performance specialist for the Toronto Blue Jays, and one half of a power couple making waves in both hockey and mental health advocacy. But behind this impressive résumé lies a story of emotional complexity, fierce advocacy, and unexpected betrayal. In this jaw-dropping episode, Lauren shares her journey navigating the high-pressure worlds of sports and mental health—both as a professional and as the girlfriend of a pro hockey player signed with the Winnipeg Jets and playing for the Manitoba Moose. Together with her boyfriend, Danny, Lauren founded a nonprofit aimed at breaking the silence on mental health struggles in the hockey community, highlighting the often-overlooked reality that you don’t need a diagnosis to deserve support. Tune in as we dive deep into the emotional challenges of long-distance love, the uncertainty of pro sports careers, and how Lauren is using her platform to challenge stigma, advocate for change, and shed light on the hidden struggles faced by athletes and their partners. This episode is an unmissable look at life behind the scenes of the sports world—and the resilience it takes to survive it. But that’s just the beginning in part two... For the first time ever, Lauren opens up about the dark side of being a “WAG” (Wives and Girlfriends of Athletes), revealing a shocking story of manipulation and trust issues that rocked her and other partners in the hockey world. From a “fake” WAG infiltrating their inner circle to the emotional fallout that followed, Lauren candidly discusses how this experience has changed her view on friendship, trust, and life in the spotlight. And she’s taking the story public for the first time.
