 Episode 2: 

Dating While Dead Inside

In this episode, I open up about navigating the dating scene after loss — from short relationships to funny (and sometimes narcissistic) encounters. Along the way, we’ll talk about other widows in the public eye, like Lauren London and Vanessa Bryant, and the very different ways they’ve processed love, loss, and moving forward.

 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Dating While Dead Inside – My unfiltered perspective on dating as a widow, plus why Lauren London’s words about love hit me so deeply.
• Vanessa Bryant’s Rumored Pregnancy – Why grief, love, and judgment don’t belong in the same conversation.
• Dating Stories – From realizing my body still works… to realizing some men are straight-up narcissists.
• Report Card Session: Fashion – A special closet tour, featuring my shoe collection, shifting from red bottoms to Jordans, and why shoes always start the outfit.
• Comical Confession – How grief turned into retail therapy, and the secret history of how I first fell in love with fashion: boosting clothes back in the day. Plus, a listener confession and prize giveaway
