Still Vibin'

After a long, messy, human year, Vibin’ & Kinda Thrivin’ is officially back and this comeback episode is equal parts reset, reality check, and big-sister pep talk. Alessandra opens up about why she went quiet in 2025 (burnout, anxiety, overwhelm, and the exhaustion of living through nonstop “once-in-a-lifetime” chaos). She talks about stepping away to protect her mental health, finding her “why” again, and what she’s bringing into 2026. Then we jump into your Spill the Teas about a caregiver torn between loyalty, grief, and financial security during hospice care, a listener whose toxic ex moved two doors down and more. If you’ve been feeling burned out, overstimulated, stuck in people-pleasing, or ready to rebuild your life with more peace and self-respect, this episode is for you.

ENCORE: Misinformation, Misogyny & Modern Womanhood: A Chat with Toni Bryanne

On this episode of Vibin' & Kinda Thrivin', I'm joined by YouTuber and host of Toni Bryanne TV Podcast and The Decision Podcast; Toni Bryanne, for a no-filter deep dive into the chaos of modern life. We're talking everything from the rise (and fall) of ethical journalism in the age of Al to why Gen Alpha can't read, and how misinformation is warping our collective empathy. We get into the Sydney Sweeney bathwater situation, the oversexualization of women in media, and whether it's possible to reclaim power through sex work or if the marketing is just getting lazy. Plus, we're going in on modern dating, emotional unavailability, choosing peace over partnerships, and why women in their 30s are living their best, most intentional lives. And of course, we wrap with a Spill the Tea that had both of us yelling "drop him off at his mom's!" If you've ever felt like you're changing faster than the world can keep up, this one's for you.
