Love Is Blind S5 - WTF LYDIA
Hey there, Besties! Today, we are going to talk about the hype around Love Is Blind Season 5. It’s very unhinged so prepare yourself because we have a lot of catching up to do.
Violetta shares her insights on the Season 5's casts and how they come off after binge-watching the episodes. From the insecurities of Jared, who's projecting his size anxieties, to Chris, the golden retriever of the group who oddly sees himself as a playboy, it's a rollercoaster ride of personalities and self-perception.
Amidst it all, Lydia's unnervingly straight-faced comfort moment and her declaration that, "You are so much like me," add a sprinkle of intrigue to this entertaining exploration of youthful relationships. Buckle up for a podcast that's as quirky as it is relatable, as we navigate the fascinating world of 20-something love, one eccentric character at a time. -

Hey there, Besties! We've got some intriguing insights as we welcome today's guest, Katie Maloney.

Throughout her time on Vanderpump Rules, Katie's personal life, including her relationships and friendships, has been a central focus of the show.
Now, let's get real. Violetta sits down with Katie as she opens up about her past, navigating a high-profile divorce, and finding self-love in the process. From the lessons she learned from reality TV to the heartaches and healing that come with breakups, she's dishing out the good stuff. And, of course, the big question: Can you really stay friends with an ex? You don't want to miss this one! -

Customer Reviews
Life changing!!!!
She’s amazing and really opens up in each episode! She puts so much work into her podcast and cares deeply for her listeners. Her solo episodes are everything and teach me so much about myself. She’s the big sister we all need!!! I love her!!!
Not a good interviewer
I came to listen to the Katie Maloney episode and only powered through to listen to her talk, but it was painful. The host kept turning the conversations back to herself, and it was too “question/answer” as opposed to the feeling of a conversation I’m used to from other podcasts. She also made a tactless comment when talking about Katie’s divorce. Listening was not a pleasant experience
Really enjoy listening
I like the variety, sometimes it’s girl talk sometimes it’s sassy and spicy, it keeps me engaged and I look forward to it.
