Solo Episode: It's Never As Bad As It Se...

Anna Kai
About this episode

On this week's solo episode, I'd like to remind that you that for every time I thought my life was ending in my twenties, it didn't. And so, if my dramatic ass can recover from every breakup, career failure, and cringeworthy moment I've lived through, so can you. I welcome you into the chaos of my inner world because even your queen biddie can get caught up in what's next versus what is now. I read some juicy secrets from you guys on this week's IG stories (a 51-year-old educator turned luxury escort, anyone?) and tackle your dilemmas—like moving away from family and why becoming a 'failed' singer-songwriter was the best thing that ever happened to me and why maybe your dreams don't have to die, they just need to change.
