Olivia Amato joins Avery from her stunning apartment (she decorated it herself!).

The two first met on a brand trip in the Hamptons—yes, Kit did a full tutorial on how to properly dress a $100 lobster salad—and now they’re reconnecting to talk about everything from growing up in the West Village to finding her creative spark in the kitchen. Kit opens up about her early days on social media, dating in NYC, and how she finally met her (very cute, very British) long-distance boyfriend.

They talk sister fights, solo living, and staying grounded when you’re sharing your life on the internet. Plus, the behind-the-scenes reality of brand trips, and dating in New York. Abby’s charm, honesty, and humor shine through every second — this one’s for anyone figuring it out in their 20s (or 30s) and learning to love where they are.

They open up about friendship fallouts, the pressure of being the breadwinners in a faith that often expects women to stay home, and how their relationships with Mormonism have shifted over time. Plus, they get into Utah’s soda shop obsession, the infamous swinging scandal, and what Mormon “garments” actually are (FYI: they’re sacred undergarments worn by many practicing members of the LDS Church). Check out Season 2 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives premiering on Hulu on May 15th.

TikToker and Barstool host Rae joins Avery for a raw and laugh-out-loud conversation recorded in New York City.

If you don’t already know and love her, you will by the end of this episode.

It’s Avery’s 30th birthday, and she’s marking the milestone with something special: a deeply personal solo episode sharing 30 life lessons from her first three decades.
