We all know Summer House should be fun (and it always delivers.) But you know what's not fun for Kyle Cook and Ciara Miller? Amanda Batula and West Wilson's romantic relationship. YIKES. We simply HAD to chat with you all about it because this one's a doozy.

We may be 30, flirty and thriving, but we're also curious about botox. Is it a mistake? Is it the best thing ever? Who can say?! (Maybe us soon..) We're talking all things BIRTHDAYS.

In this episode we're talking about the oh so controversial world of GLP-1s like Ozempic, including our own use of Wegovy. This one's a deep chat for real for real, but we hope it helps some girls out there feel a bit less alone (or just quells some curiosity like cults do for Kelsey!)

Kelsey’s getting eggs ripped from her bod (aka freezing her eggs/making embryos) and is shockingly not an emotional monster.
