    VTP: Solo Episode

    In this solo episode, V leans into the feeling that everything lately exists on two extremes—either deeply serious or completely unserious—and somehow, she’s consuming all of it at once. From heavy headlines to chaotic reality TV, it’s a mix of overstimulation, emotional whiplash, and trying to make sense of it all.

    VTP: Jill Helmer

    In this episode of Vee the People, Vee sits down with Jill Helmer for a thoughtful and heartfelt conversation about motherhood, identity, and what it looks like to enter a new season of life. As a mom of three, Jill reflects on the experience of raising her kids and what it means to now watch them grow up and head out into the world. She shares the mix of pride, nostalgia, and uncertainty that comes with this phase — and how it’s shifted her perspective on both parenting and herself. Jill also talks about her time as a Penn State alum and how that chapter of her life helped shape who she is today. From there, the two cover everything from motherhood to politics and all the real-life moments in between. It’s an honest, reflective episode about raising kids, letting go, and figuring out what comes next — only on Vee the People.

    VTP: Solo Episode

    In this solo episode, V starts off by reflecting on a recent protest experience—what it felt like to be surrounded by so many people showing up, the creativity (and humor) of the signs, and why moments like that still matter. It’s a mix of cautious optimism, people-watching, and a reminder that collective action can feel both powerful and deeply human. From there, V dives into what she’s been watching lately, led by the real headline: the ongoing Summer House drama and the increasingly suspicious Amanda Batula/West Wilson dating rumors. What started as internet fan fiction is now inching into “wait… is this actually real?” territory, and she is firmly, unapologetically Team Ciara. She also shares quick takes on Shrinking (watched… somewhat asleep), her current obsession with Paradise, a growing “I’ll get to it” list (The Pitt), and her thoughts on Netflix’s The Predator of Sevilla—a difficult but important watch. Plus, a return to The Hills ahead of the reunion and why the new season of Hacks dropping on her birthday feels like a personal gift.

    VTP: Elizabeth Strong

    In this episode of Vee the People, Vee sits down with Elizabeth Strong for an inspiring and empowering conversation about leadership, community, and building the life you envision for yourself. Elizabeth shares what it’s like serving as the Latina Affairs Commissioner for Governor Josh Shapiro, and the work she does behind the scenes to support local communities — especially when it comes to helping small business owners access the resources they need to grow and succeed. She talks about collaborating with local representatives, advocating for real change, and making sure voices in her community are heard. Beyond her work in government, Elizabeth opens up about manifesting a life she’s proud of — the mindset, intention, and belief it takes to create something meaningful on your own terms. She also reflects on a truly unforgettable moment: the honor of meeting and introducing Vice President Kamala Harris at her final rally the night before the election — a full-circle experience that speaks to how far she’s come. It’s a motivating, down-to-earth conversation about purpose, representation, and stepping into your power — only on Vee the People.

    VTP: Solo Episode

    In this solo episode of Vee the People, Vee gets real and a little more unfiltered than usual. She talks openly about her experience with anxiety — what it actually feels like day-to-day, how it’s shown up in her life, and what it’s been like navigating SSRIs. She also dives into imposter syndrome and that all-too-familiar feeling of questioning yourself, even when you know you shouldn’t. Of course, it wouldn’t be Vee without a little comfort mixed in — she shares the TV shows she’s been loving lately and how they’ve become her go-to escape when her brain won’t slow down. And after being away, she talks about coming home to her cats and the kind of peace that only those small, familiar moments can bring. It’s a laid-back, honest episode about mental health, overthinking, and finding comfort in the little things — just Vee being Vee on Vee the People.

    VTP: Blaze Bocian

    In this episode of Vee the People, Vee sits down with her dad, Blaze Bocian, for a conversation that dives into his remarkable life experiences — from military service to family life and the lessons learned along the way. Blaze shares stories from his time in the U.S. Navy, including what it was really like living and working aboard a submarine and going through the demanding nuclear power program. He reflects on the discipline, responsibility, and teamwork required in such a high-stakes environment, and how those experiences shaped the way he approaches life today. Growing up as the seventh of nine children, Blaze also talks about the unique dynamics of a big family — the values, resilience, and perspective that come from being part of something bigger than yourself. And after more than 30 years of marriage, he opens up about the wisdom he’s gained about commitment, partnership, and what truly matters over the long haul. It’s a thoughtful and personal episode about service, family, perseverance, and the life lessons that come from decades of experience — only on Vee the People.
