I used to think chaos meant love. That calm was a trap. That being  bored  in a relationship meant it was the wrong one. But really, I was just addicted to dysfunction—and I was the one bringing it into every corner of my life. My friendships, my work, my relationship, even the way I talk to myself. In this episode, I’m owning the fact that I’ve been the toxic one. The walking red flag. The drama....

One minute you’re in love. The next, you’re wondering why your boyfriend pulled up in your  uncle’s  car. What follows isn’t just betrayal, inheritance, or family drama — it’s a full-blown murder mystery. Honestly, it sounds like a movie. Rom-com with no resolution, a few casualties, and a very expensive lesson in ignoring your gut. Sometimes when one door slams in your face, it’s just the univers...

In this episode I connect some very gay dots I’ve been dodging since elementary school. I talk about something I’ve always known but never really said out loud. We get into tomboy phases, girlhood weirdness, and the slow, quiet realization that maybe I wasn’t as straight as I thought. It’s not a revelation. It’s not a label. Just a long-overdue out-loud moment about identity, attraction, and figur...

This week, I’m talking about the soft breakdown that comes  after  you’ve been strong for too long. I open up about the upcoming anniversary of my ex Shane’s passing, how his joy for life still echoes in mine, and how grief — even years later — can hit you when you least expect it. Especially when you’re finally starting to live again. We also get into what happens when you go from saying yes to e...

It starts with a laugh and ends with a soft identity crisis—so basically, a typical Sunday night. In this episode, I’m crowning my listeners  my little rough drafts  (because we’re all messy masterpieces in progress) and talking about the not-so-aesthetic side of healing. Crying over dumb sh*t? Check. Blocking mid-text? Double check. Googling signs from the universe at 2AM? Obviously. And just to...

Been a minute, but I’m back—and lighter in every sense. This week, we’re trimming the fat: bad friends, bad habits, bad carbs—you name it, it’s gone. I’m talking spring cleaning for the soul, how new vitamins (and some new boundaries) are changing the game, why keeping quiet online might just save your peace, and how sometimes the universe throws hands when you’re too stubborn to change course. Ne...

In this episode, we dive into the quirks that drive us up the wall—those everyday pet peeves that test our patience. We also tackle the hot-button issue of partners liking photos on Instagram: harmless interaction or cause for concern ? Jealousy takes center stage as we explore its roots and how it sneaks into our relationships. Plus, we unpack the baggage we all carry from past relationships and...

In this episode, we dive into Meghan's new cooking show, With Love, Meghan, which has been stirring up both praise and criticism. I share my thoughts on the series and why I found it enjoyable despite the mixed reviews. We then transition to a more serious discussion on domestic violence, highlighting warning signs to watch for in relationships and emphasizing the importance of seeking help if you...

Ever been dumped so hard it flips your world upside down? In this episode, I spill some cheeky breakup tea that sparks a wild journey into mastering the art of name-dropping and people-watching. We'll chat about how a name can be your secret superpower, why everyone’s quirks might just be their baggage in disguise, and how growing up means turning loneliness into a lesson in self-discovery. Strap...

Starting with a funny twist on my parents’ divorce, we get into handling toxic family members (without burning every bridge), men who act like snapping at women is a personality trait, and why breakups—and divorces—deserve way more celebration. New episodes drop *somewhere between Sunday night and Monday morning* because life happens. This is *Barely Edited*—where nothing’s off-limits, and life’s...

Nothing like a dramatic haircut to signal a fresh start—except, of course, when the drama follows you anyway. This week, we’re unpacking the deep (and sometimes unhealthy) bond women have with their hair, the Chiara Ferragni and Fedez chaos that has traumatized us all, and why manifestation might be working… just not always in the way we hoped. Oh, and because no night out is ever  just  a night o...

Cookies, chaos and cops! A funny little story to kick things off—before diving into the heavy stuff. This week, I’m sharing how one simple thought helped me overcome some of the hardest addictions, the terrifying reality of being stalked for four years, and a quick take on the TikTok ban. New episodes drop Sundays at 9 PM. This is Barely Edited—where nothing’s off-limits, and life’s messy moments...

Who needs a bra—or perfection—when life’s a chaotic ride and we’re all just winging it? This episode, I’m spilling the tea on my post-pandemic  free the t  journey, how my rollercoaster with depression turned into a life-saving business, and the episode I accidentally deleted (maybe it was for the best). We’re also chatting Mounjaro updates, mental health, and the TikTok replacement you didn’t kno...

Who needs resolutions when the world’s still serving chaos? In this episode, I’m kicking off the year with zero filters and plenty of opinions. Resolutions? Overrated. A 2020 sequel? Let’s not. From same-sex bathrooms losing their sacred vibe to the endless “When are YOU getting married?” questions I constantly get asked working in the wedding industry, and why making friends as an entrepreneur fe...

Life’s quirks, chaos, and “wait, is it just me?” moments take center stage. I’m Bianca Vena, an entrepreneur and producer who’s diving into the big, small, and downright weird. From starting my Mounjaro weight loss journey to navigating holidays with divorced parents, having a sibling 20 years younger, and my *hot take* on why the days between Christmas and New Year are the best (yes, really)—we’r...
