About this episode

It’s girl time as Victoria sits down with her new close friend, Taylor King aka TK, a content creator and podcast host known for her behind-the-scenes takes on social media and influencer life. In this episode, Vic and TK chat about navigating her recent quarter life crisis, why it can be so hard to ask for help, and overcoming career comparison. They dive into the dynamics of close one-on-one friendships versus larger groups, the stress of mixing friend circles, and letting go of people-pleasing tendencies. They dive into TK’s dream partner wishlist and do a full review of her Hinge profile, sharing her latest dating app strategies. Plus, TK’s got a PSA for couples about setting up single friends! Tune in for a fun convo all about supporting and lifting up your friends through whatever life phases they’re in.
