Clear, direct communication, reciprocity, and adult friendships are the theme of this solo catch-up. Alessandra gets honest about recognizing patterns (hello, boundaries!), pulling back when there’s no reciprocity, and why you don’t owe anyone a 24/7 version of you. We dig into millennial money shame (renting vs. buying in 2025), dating after divorce when you have kids, and the grief that comes when friendships shift as loved ones enter the “mom era.” Plus: fall fragrance layering with pistachio lotion, dark-academia book recs, and cozy TV/book adaptations to binge.
Books mentioned: The Secret History (Donna Tartt), The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches (Sangu Mandanna), Educated (Tara Westover).
