Hot Takes and Holy Grails

Baaaaaaadies, I’ve missed you! 💋 my mic was turned off the whole time btw… 😪I hope November 3rd treated you with all the kindness, respect, and slay pussy queen energy you deserve. PERIOD.Hooray on 1,000+ listens 🤍🤍🤍In this episode, we’re catching up on what I’ve been reading, what I’m currently obsessed with, and a little life hack I use when everything starts feeling a little too chaotic.Let’s talk about creating a menu instead of a schedule. Because while schedules are great, especially when life feels out of control, sometimes we need a little less structure and a little more freedom to enjoy the things that make us feel human.Creating a menu of my favorite things to do helps me make room for joy without feeling like every second of my life needs to be planned out. It’s about finding that sweet spot between productivity and actually enjoying life.And even when life isn’t perfectly balanced, besties, we’re all just trying our damn best. 🫶This episode is a little shorter, but consider it a quick catch-up and a reminder that no matter how chaotic life gets, you will forever be the baddest bitch in the world.Love you, mean it. 💋

It’s time to get pretty, protected, and POLITICAL, babes. ✨🗳️ In this episode of Baddies After Dark, we’re getting into the Colorado ballot measures presented to us this year. We will briefly go into what they mean, what they could change, and how I personally plan on voting. Important disclaimer‼️‼️‼️ before somebody comes for my credentials: I am NOT a political professional, lawyer, policy expert, or keeper of all Colorado knowledge. 😂 I’m just a girl 🎀 who read the ballot measures and asked a LOT of questions, and I wanted to share what I learned and how I’m approaching my own ballot. Please do your own research and make the decisions that feel right to YOU. And I guess this is also where I disclose that I am progressive as FUCK. MAGA hates to see me coming (and I mean that in both senses of the word. 💅🏻).We’re breaking down amendments, propositions, and idk wtf else and using Swifties and Hotties against each other. I’m also sorry for using Swifties as Republicans. I take that back, but it’s too late.If you make it through this entire episode, I’m proud of you. 🫶🏻 Politics can be exhausting and confusing as hell, but understanding what’s on our ballots matters. We get to be part of the change we want to see in the world…One moronic ballot measure at a time. ✨🗳️#ColoradoPolitics #ColoradoBallot #ColoradoElection #BallotMeasures #ColoradoVoters #PoliticsPodcast #ProgressivePodcast #BaddiesAfterDark

Baddies, we’re BACK in the world of When the Moon Hatched and bitch, Im not even worried about the dragons anymore 😭🐉 In Part Two of my sassy (occasionally unhinged) recap, we’re breaking down the heartbreak, the reveals, the “girl are we OKAY??” moments, and the sprinkle of the Jerry Springer shit. Underneath all the fantasy lore, this story hit me somewhere deeper. We’re talking about the power of vulnerability ✨what happens when survival becomes your entire identity, and the terrifying/beautiful process of peeling back the hood to figure out who you actually are underneath it. I think being strong isn’t always about being the toughest bitch in the room. Sometimes it’s letting yourself be known. 🍄🧚‍♀️Come for the ‘When the Moon Hatched’ recap, fantasy romance chaos, dragons, thoughts and atrocious decisions. Stay for the ‘accidental’ therapy session because on this podcast we talk about the things that SHAPE US. 🫶🏻🌙🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩SPOILERS for WHEN THE MOON HATCHED by Sarah A. Parker.🎧 Grab your headphones, baddies. We have SO much shit to discuss.

Literacy Crisis who?! Pick up that book baddie and let’s summarize what has easily been my favorite book this year thus far. Raeve is the type of main character that starts off angry, then slowly we start seeing that character development and if there’s anything we fully support on this channel it’s how to become THAT girl ✨ I hope you enjoy my baddified version of events from this book 🤣🫶🏻💅🏾 love you bye!

It’s been days since the jury began to deliberate on the Lindsay Clancy case and if we’re being honest, this was no easy task. I was so sure that the jury would come up with the decision that same day or at least the following week but boy was I wrong. In this episode, I talk about what the charges are and what I hope to see as well as my experience with a spiritualist from Mexico. 👀 it wasn’t no abracadabra moment but it sure as hell brought me some clarity. What has been your experience with the supernatural? A big thank you to everyone who has been listening. I appreciate all the love and support.💕 my pretty protected and petty babes, this one is for you.

In this episode of Baddies After Dark, I’m talking about the Lindsay Clancy case. Aside from it being a criminal case, it’s also a conversation about motherhood, mental health, and what happens when a mother is struggling and the people around her don’t fully understand what she’s experiencing.As I’ve followed the trial, there have been details and inconsistencies that have made me stop and question whether everything surrounding Lindsay’s mental health, treatment, and support system was as straightforward as it may have initially seemed. I share some of the things that have stood out to me while also recognizing that the trial is ongoing and there is still evidence left to hear.But this episode is bigger than one case.I talk about postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and postpartum psychosis and why we need to take mothers seriously when they tell us they’re struggling. I also get personal about something motherhood genuinely scares me about: the enormous amount we expect from mothers while sometimes treating fathers like side characters in their own families. Fatherhood is parenting too y’all! The physical burden may not be equal, but the responsibility for creating a safe, supported home shouldn’t automatically fall on Mom.Most importantly, this conversation isn’t about excusing tragedy. It’s about asking uncomfortable questions about mental healthcare, family support, motherhood, and whether we’re doing enough before someone reaches a crisis.I also share resources for anyone experiencing perinatal or postpartum mental-health struggles, including Postpartum Support International (PSI), because conversations like this should lead somewhere helpful not just end when the episode does.https://postpartum.net1-800-944-4773Content warning: This episode discusses the deaths of children, suicide, postpartum mental illness, and other potentially distressing subjects.

This summer has given us everything from Spider-Man, Obsession, Love Island, and Ariana Grande’s new album, plus all the thoughts that have been living rent-free in my head.I also get into the conversations surrounding Ariana’s body and why commenting on someone’s weight has never been the helpful act people convince themselves it is. We chat about body shaming, celebrity look-a-like Paige Nieman, and why some opinions are better left unsaid.To lighten things up, I’m sharing some of my favorite affordable makeup picks from Ulta (I love a good cheap find), including brands like Essence, Nyx and sometimes Elf. Tarte concealer will always be the GOAT in my eyes. And to wrap it all up, I’m sharing a little life update about falling in love with running, getting lost in audiobooks, and having Ariana’s new album on repeat. Grab your favorite drink and let’s hang out. 💌

Have you ever looked around your room and thought, “Bitch why am I still holding onto all this?” Girl… me too.In this episode, we’re talking about decluttering!!! But not just the kind that leaves your house looking cute. I’m talking about the emotional junk too. The relationships you’ve outgrown. The habits that quietly drain you. The version of yourself that’s been carrying things she doesn’t have to carry anymore.After cleaning out my home, I realized I wasn’t just getting rid of old stuff (my annoyingly small spoons) I was making room for the life I’m actually trying to build. We spend so much time decorating our spaces, making them look easy pleasing.. but when was the last time we redecorated our souls? That was deep bestie I’m ngl to you.. no but seriously, what’s inspiring you these days? What’s keeping you stuck? And what would happen if you finally gave yourself permission to let it go? Elsa, where you at girl I need you…Grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and let’s have a little heart-to-heart about clearing out the clutter so there’s room for peace, growth, and the version of you that’s been waiting to drop these ho’s. 😮‍💨

In this episode, I’m sharing all my thoughts on the latest episode of Love Island Season 8. Bitch the drama, the couples, the moments that had me yelling at my TV, and, of course, my completely unfiltered hot takes.I also get a little more personal as I reflect on my upcoming wedding anniversary. It’s hard to believe another year has gone by, and I’m feeling so grateful for my husband. He recently surprised me with a new phone, and while it was such a thoughtful gift, it reminded me that life isn’t really about the things we own. It’s about the people we get to share our lives with, the memories we make, and the love that carries us through every season.And since it’s summer, I’m talking about something that’s been bringing me so much joy lately: finding a healthy balance between cozy nights watching my favorite show and actually getting outside to touch some grass, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy the season. It’s a fun, heartfelt conversation filled with reality TV chatter, gratitude, love, and a reminder to appreciate the little moments that make life so special.

This week, we're getting real.I open up about the passing of Oliver Tree and why it hit me harder than I expected. I've always been drawn to artists who refuse to fit into a box, stay true to themselves, and aren't afraid to be different. It got me thinking about authenticity, celebrity culture, and why I wish more public figures were open about the causes and beliefs that genuinely matter to them.Then we switch gears and dive into all the chaos, drama, and questionable decisions from Love Island USA Season 8 Episode 15. Expect hot takes, opinions nobody asked for, a few laughs, and me trying to keep up with the madness happening in the villa. 🤣And yes, I stumble over a few words and make some mistakes along the way but that's what happens when you're having a real conversation. I dont make a full script ( just bullet points), no perfection, just honest thoughts from a girl who's trying her best. Thank you to everyone who's been listening, supporting, and growing with me. It means more than you know. 💖✨ New episodes of Baddies After Dark every week. Come for the opinions, stay for the chaos. 🎙️🖤 Love you byeee
