Better Half with Stas & Vic

Podcast Nation

Better Half with Stas & Vic is like a chic members-only club disguised as a show — and yes, your name’s on the list. Hosted by Stas Karanikolaou and Victoria Villarroel, this is where you'll find unfiltered opinions, debrief last night's adventures & have “should we even be saying this?” conversations. Every Wednesday, Stas and Vic talk life, love, pop culture, friendships, and whatever else would normally stay between best friends (and their shared Notes app). Friends pop in, tea gets spilled, and nothing is too serious. Think of Better Half as the group chat you’re obsessed with, the after-party you didn’t leave, and the inside joke you actually get. See you soon!

    We're getting into all things psychic with the incredible Laura Lynne Jackson! In Part 1, Laura spills on how she discovered her abilities, what her family thought about it all, and the difference between being a psychic and a medium (because yes, there's a difference!). We also dive into the science behind her gift, what happens in her brain during readings, how her abilities have been tested, spirit guides, soul cycles, and SO much more. Whether you're a total believer or a little skeptical, this conversation will have you questioning everything you thought you knew.
