    Joy Is Resistance

    This week on Vibin’ & Kinda Thrivin’, Alessandra checks in from a cold morning with a real, unfiltered heart-to-heart. She talks about showing up authentically even when it’s uncomfortable,why pretending everything’s fine isn’t her style, and how protecting your peace sometimes means getting honest about who you are and what you stand for. It’s a mix of soft resets, small routines, hyperfixations, and gentle life upgrades, plus a reminder that joy, pride, and taking care of yourself can be their own form of resistance.vAs always, we end with a little advice corner for anyone feeling stuck, spiraling, or unsure what their next move should be.

    Getting Honest About Getting Older

    This week we’re getting a little more structured- with her 35th birthday around the corner, Alessandra gets real about the stuff she thought she’d have figured out by now: finances and money anxiety, routines and time management, friendship breakups in your 30s and more! Before diving into Spill the Tea, she introduces a new weekly segment Things I’m Currently Vibin' With where she'll share what she's been loving this week. Then she tackles two wildly relatable write-ins: one from a burnt-out work-from-home “couch goblin” who can’t find the energy for life after 5PM, and another from someone who feels trapped in a “broke but aesthetic” lifestyle fueled by credit cards and pressure to look like they’re thriving. Expect tough love, empathy, and practical “start small” steps because if nobody has it all figured out, we might as well figure it out together.

    Doing Our Best

    Snowed in, emotionally thawing, and having one of those “we need to talk about it” weeks. In this episode, I’m coming to you from a literal winter tundra with 28 inches of snow, cabin fever, too much time to think, and a heart that feels a little heavier than usual. We chat about what it means to exist in the world right now as a sensitive, empathetic human and why pretending everything’s fine just isn’t my vibe, plus how I’m learning to hold space for both joy and grief at the same time. Then we get into some very real Spill the Tea moments: balancing different versions of yourself, friendships that feel weirdly competitive, money honesty in relationships, and outgrowing party culture in your 30s without losing your people.

    Stir-Crazy Season

    January is flying by, the weather is absolutely unhinged, and we’re vibin’… mostly.

From navigating stir-crazy winter energy and complicated media consumption to unpacking big thoughts around reading culture, growth, and critical thinking, this episode blends reflection with real-life perspective. Alessandra also dives into Spill the Tea submissions, offering honest advice on dating in your 30s, evolving friendships, outgrowing your hometown, setting boundaries with family, money dynamics in relationships, and how to actually rest when your brain won’t shut off. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, restless, or just in need of a comforting conversation that feels like a voice note from a friend, this one’s for you.

    Winter Check-In

She sprinkles in a few cozy winter favorites, current reads, and what’s been helping her reset without over-consuming. Then we jump into Spill the Tea with listener write-ins covering boundaries, burnout, friendships shifting during healing, relationship honesty, comparison, and how to protect your peace without abandoning yourself.

    Still Vibin'

    After a long, messy, human year, Vibin’ & Kinda Thrivin’ is officially back and this comeback episode is equal parts reset, reality check, and big-sister pep talk. Alessandra opens up about why she went quiet in 2025 (burnout, anxiety, overwhelm, and the exhaustion of living through nonstop “once-in-a-lifetime” chaos). She talks about stepping away to protect her mental health, finding her “why” again, and what she’s bringing into 2026. Then we jump into your Spill the Teas about a caregiver torn between loyalty, grief, and financial security during hospice care, a listener whose toxic ex moved two doors down and more. If you’ve been feeling burned out, overstimulated, stuck in people-pleasing, or ready to rebuild your life with more peace and self-respect, this episode is for you.
