    a conversation about perspective after a breakup

    On this episode of Little Miss, I talk about perspective after a breakup — being dumped over a text message after 7 months of dating, the red flags I wish I had noticed sooner when I was in that relationship, and how having an avoidant attachment doesn't give you a reason to be a cruel person. I share what’s helped me get through this break up and what I’m learning about boundaries, self-trust, and moving forward in my life. This episode is for anyone trying to make sense of a breakup and find their footing again and especially for the emotional "too much" girls out there like me.

    a conversation about people who should be in prison

    On this episode of Little Miss, we’re sentencing the most annoying behaviors in modern society to actual prison (we wish at least.) From people who play music out loud on their phones in public (headphones exist, we promise), to the menace of replying “k.” to a heartfelt message, nothing is off limits. Ryley also confesses her own crimes—specifically her behavior at 13 years old and herself every month at a specific time, which absolutely warrants solitary confinement.If you love comedy podcasts, pop culture rants, and unhinged but relatable takes on everyday annoyances, this episode of Little Miss is for you. Tune in for chaotic opinions, self-incrimination, and the pettiest court of law you’ve ever heard.

    a conversation about life after a long term relationship

    On this episode of Little Miss, we talk about life after a long-term relationship with my friend, who opens up about what it’s really like starting over after being married for eight years. We discuss how identity shifts after divorce, the quiet grief that comes with losing a shared future, and how anger can linger long after a relationship ends. We get into what healing actually looks like when the relationship is over — learning how to let go of resentment, redefining independence, and figuring out who you are when the life you planned doesn’t exist anymore. This episode is about rebuilding, unlearning, and moving forward with clarity and compassion.

Her upcoming memoir, Fetishized, which releases on August 19th reflects on her time as a model and performer in the early 2000s, and offers an unfiltered look at the sexualization and fetishization of Asian women.
