    I’m Bald…What Now?

    I’m bald. And I want to talk about it. In this episode, I share what led me to shave my head after being diagnosed with alopecia areata — the grief, the relief, the fear, and the complicated feelings that come with seeing yourself differently in the mirror. We talk about identity, femininity, beauty standards, and what it means to navigate a very visible change as a woman who’s both deeply private and publicly online. I don’t have clean answers, just honesty about where I am, what I’m wrestling with, and how I’m learning to exist in this new version of myself. It’s gonna be raw, reflective, (hopefully) a little funny, and very human. Thanks for being here with me.

    Why Is Beyoncé Told “that’s not possible” - When Taylor Swift Isn’t?

    What began as an off-the-cuff observation turned into a full-blown conversation after listeners weighed in on the differences between Beyoncé’s Renaissance film and Taylor Swift’s End of an Era. In this episode, I unpack your comments and explore what might actually be driving the contrast — race, leadership style, perfectionism, collaboration, narrative choices, or something deeper. This isn’t about competition. It’s about power, perception, and how different women are allowed to move through the world — and be believed when they do. Let’s talk about it. Also!  I want to know more about you. If you have a few minutes, take the listener survey below and tell me where you’re listening from, what you want more of, and what conversations you want this show to explore next.

    Beyonce's a Billionaire and Taylor's a Menace

    Happy New Year! Beyoncé is officially a billionaire—and the internet is losing its mind. I’m unpacking whether that milestone deserves celebration, side-eying the billionaire discourse, revisiting Taylor Swift’s End of an Era, and making bold pop culture predictions for 2026. Plus: Black News, celebrity MAGA turns, and some big personal announcements.

    Is Relatability Ruining Pop? [BONUS TEASER]

    In this December bonus teaser, I’m kicking things off with some housekeeping — including when Queen Things returns for Season 4. Then we dive straight into one of the most interesting conversations I’ve seen in pop culture lately: Charlie XCX’s Substack essay on the “realities” of being a pop star, and Swiftologist’s take on why pop doesn’t make icons anymore. From authenticity to escapism, parasocial closeness to moral responsibility, I’m breaking down what we actually expect from the artists we love, and what happens when relatability becomes the whole brand. It’s messy, it’s nuanced, and yes, I have thoughts. If you want the full episode — including my take on the Taylor/Trump discourse, Jaclyn Hill, DEI backlash, and this week’s Black News — become a Queen Things subscriber on Apple Podcasts, Patreon, or Substack.

    Is Relatability Ruining Pop? [BONUS]

    In this December bonus episode, I’m asking one big question: Is relatability ruining pop? From Charli XCX’s Substack essay to Swiftologist’s breakdown of why pop stars aren’t giving us fantasy anymore, we dig into how the demand for “authenticity” is reshaping the entire genre. Plus: Taylor’s disappointing silence, Jaclyn Hill vs. the algorithm, a DEI debate with real consequences, and Beyoncé giving notes like only she can. It’s the final bonus episode before Queen Things returns — thank you for being a subscriber, and see you in the new year.

    Wickedly Good, Wickedly Lonely [BONUS TEASER]

    Here’s a taste of my November bonus episode! In this teaser, I’m breaking down everything I loved (and didn’t) about Wicked: For Good: Cynthia Erivo’s show-stopping vocals, Ariana Grande’s glow-up, why some critics are reaching, and why Michelle Yeoh absolutely made sense in her role.

    Wickedly Good, Wickedly Lonely [BONUS]

    Welcome to your November bonus episode! This one’s got the full range — theater nerd realness, cultural analysis, and a very personal update I’m not sharing anywhere else. I start with my Wicked: For Good review (Cynthia Erivo’s “No Good Deed” has me ready to cuss her out in the street — respectfully), why the mixed reviews don’t land for me, and what Ariana Grande brought to Glinda that the stage show never could. Then I pivot into something deeper: a Cosmo article about the “female loneliness epidemic” that hit me harder than expected… and what friendship actually looks like at 39 when you’re the Type-A planner friend who keeps the group chat alive. And finally — because I want the bonus community to actually feel like a community — I share a personal update I’m not ready to talk about publicly, but that I know some of you might deeply understand. If you’re here for honesty, humor, and a little heart? This one’s for you.

    BONUS: The Fate of Taylor Swift

    In this bonus Queen Things episode, I’m breaking down some of our best listener comments and exploring what they reveal about Taylor’s love of love, her lifelong grudges, and her reputation as pop’s “Capitalist-in-Chief.” From fan theories about “The Fate of Ophelia” to debates about her silence on social issues, I unpack why none of this surprises me—and why that’s exactly the point.
