Barely Edited

This week, we're joined by Paolo Mancuso, one of the hosts of  Lots to Discuss . What started as two strangers meeting for the first time quickly turned into the kind of conversation that goes absolutely everywhere. From Quebec's never-ending French language debates to Pride Month, James Charles, dating, relationships, my newest crush, and why cyclists somehow always end up on our list, no...

Rough drafts, You probably remember her as the bride who broke TikTok with a 47-part series about wedding photos she absolutely hated. What started as a photographer horror story quickly became something much bigger. This week, we're sitting down with Alexandra Jaye Weinstein, better known to the internet as Sepia Bride, to talk about what really happened behind the viral videos, the marriage...

FOLLOW KAITLIN:​  ⁨@kaitlinbiddau_official⁩  https://www.instagram.com/kaitlinbiddau https://www.tiktok.com/@kaitlinbiddau If you loved Part 1, sit the fuck down because somehow we had even more to say. In Part 2 with Kaitlin Biddau, the conversation goes completely off the rails in the best way possible. We get into growing up Italian, childhood punishments, creator life, relationships, what it&#...

Kaitlin Biddau is basically the internet’s Italian mom friend who says the thing everyone else is too scared to admit out loud. Between three kids, marriage, glow-ups, family chaos, and trying to stay “that girl” while packing school lunches, her content somehow feels both wholesome and completely unhinged at the same time. In this episode of Barely Edited, Bianca sits down with Kaitlin to talk ab...

This week on Barely Edited, Montreal influencer Julia Grandoni joins us for a conversation about the Montreal influencer scene, what actually works online, and why authenticity somehow became rare. We get into creator culture, viral content, her new business, age-gap relationships, and the difference between having a real personality versus just performing one for the internet. A little nicotine,...

This week on Barely Edited, Melissa sits down with me for what was meant to be a simple catch-up and instead gives us the beautifully chaotic, extended director’s cut of her life lately. We get into new mom life, fertility struggles, breastfeeding, mastitis, relationships, and the general madness of becoming a mother while everybody around you suddenly becomes an expert. This one is funny, a littl...

In this episode, Bianca is joined by Chancie Carnevale for a conversation about skin, self-care, wellness trends, and the very humbling realization that some of us were not raised on green juice and boundaries. They get into growing up in survival mode, why wellness now feels like a rich girl personality trait, and how social media managed to make healing feel both more accessible and more complet...

Red hair. Red soles. Red flags we ignored in friendships for years. This week Bianca sits down with Evelyn Skoutelas — a woman who owns 40 pairs of Louboutins and zero apologies — for a conversation that's equal parts shoe worship and emotional reckoning. They get into the jealousy between women that everyone feels and nobody admits, the adult friendships that start to fit like the wrong size heel...

We thought we were watching a hockey show. We were not. On the first episode of Season 2 of Barely Edited, Bianca is joined by her first guest, Erica, where they spiral into the cultural phenomenon that is  Heated Rivalry  — the slow burn, the secrecy, the tension, the cottage scene, and the fact that none of us are mentally stable about it. Why are women simultaneously turned on and emotionally d...

Somewhere between sober culture and scrolling culture, we lost the plot. This episode follows that thread — how going sober became the new cool, how being online became a full-time identity, and how we quietly forgot how to log off. I talk about the rise of self-diagnosis, comparison, and jealousy as background noise, and how living online long enough changes the way you feel in your own body. And...

This episode is a holiday-season panic attack disguised as a podcast. I ride shotgun through seasonal depression, Black Friday/Cyber Monday marketing insanity, and the endless flood of sale emails that turn “retail therapy” into retail trauma — because saving money never looked so triggering. The anxiety of trying to survive while working nights, missing daylight for weeks, Uber becoming my makesh...

This week Rough Drafts I get into the story I never told properly — mostly because it sounds like a fever dream written by a bored screenwriter during lockdown. But here we are. In this episode, I finally talk about the time I got stuck in Italy, went mildly viral by accident, became the unofficial “pandemic girl” for half the news stations in Canada, and somehow landed a six-month radio show beca...

Seasonal depression, vape regrets, murder mysteries, and the time I told a bride to fire her maid of honor — welcome back to the chaos, Rough Drafts. This episode is a full-course meal of chaos — equal parts caffeine, confession, and Christmas panic. I talk about seasonal depression and how the sound of someone chewing can turn me into a full-blown villain, giving “holiday rage” a whole new meanin...

Episode 27 is what happens when you hit your vape pen and accidentally open every tab in your brain. I start by revisiting all the weird jobs I’ve had — the questionable interviews, the unhinged managers, the “how did I even end up here” moments — and somehow spiral into a conversation about  people who are too much. The good kind of too much — funny, loud, magnetic — that everyone loves. Until it...

This week is the definition of chaos cuisine: I start in the kitchen, where my attempt at making simple veggies and rice turned into a full-blown crime scene — burns, cuts, broken nail, the works. From there, the universe decided to spice things up by throwing me face-to-face with an ex I didn’t even recognize… until I realized he now has kids. And honestly? Nothing feels more like instant karma t...

We open with blood. A lot of it. After 22 years of getting my period, you’d think my uterus would know the drill — but instead, it showed up like a hitman. I’m at a wedding on a tampon scavenger hunt, whispering to strangers like I’m trying to score coke. One of them delivers like she’s handing off a baggie. It was dark. It was powerful. It was hot af. Then we head to the strip club — for Italbae&...

In this episode, I talk about what happens when just enough time passes for you to almost forget why you left — until you remember everything all at once. When you start to miss someone you reshaped in your mind just to survive the way they treated you. But softness isn’t love. Distance isn’t closure. And time doesn’t replace an apology. I unpack what it means to grieve the role someone played — o...

What do sexless relationships, cheating, and wedding party drama have in common? Apparently, more than you'd think. In this episode, I unpack why so many of us have  been with the same man  — not literally, but emotionally. The type who doesn’t touch us, doesn’t see us, and somehow still makes us feel like we’re asking for too much. I talk about the deep importance of sexual compatibility, the...

Some closets don’t slam open — they creak slowly. In this episode, we ease the door a little wider. I talk about finally exploring conversations with women, opening our relationship, and redefining what intimacy means in a life that doesn’t like to color inside the lines. I open up about my uneasy past with sex, how shame shaped my body before I ever could, and what it means to feel seen — fully,...

Spend my birthday with me 'cause I might be pregnant, and I’m questioning everything — including who the hell I even am. This week, I spiral on late periods, unmet expectations, and the unsettling thought that maybe we’re all just mosaics of everyone we’ve ever loved, lost, or envied. Are we even original, or just patchworks of borrowed traits we convinced ourselves were “us”? It’s messy, it’s...

This week I have my first-ever guest episode and it had to be with my best friend Pietro — because if I’m going to spiral publicly, I’m doing it with someone who’s fluent in chaos. We catch up after a year apart, talk about leaving Florence and moving back to a small town, and drag every tourist who thinks Italy owes them something. You’ll hear about my rollercoaster of a trip from Canada to Italy...

There’s something liberating about hitting unfollow — not just on people, but on versions of yourself that no longer serve you. This week, we’re talking about the soft violence of reinvention, the quiet rage of being misunderstood, and the unapologetic power of saying,  this isn’t for you anymore. The soft rebrand is over — demolition has begun. Why unfollowing feels like betrayal (but isn’t), why...

In this episode,  we talk about the case that’s gripped Montreal this week — a missing child, a discovery that’s hard to stomach, and the uncomfortable truth about what happens when people have kids for all the wrong reasons. From parental pressure to societal timelines, we unpack why not everyone who  can  have kids should. And somewhere in the middle… something happens. It’s horrifying. It’s emb...

In this episode, I’m wondering out loud: were women ever actually getting nicer, or was I just getting fatter? I thought we were done seeing each other as threats — turns out, invisibility can look a lot like sisterhood when no one sees you as competition. We’re talking pretty privilege, and why I’ll never be the girl with a  zucchero papi, and why I’ll always choose to fund my own lifestyle — eve...

In this episode , we get into what happens when you’re forced to make an adult decision before you even know how to be one. This one’s for anyone who had to figure it out young, while the world judged from the sidelines. We’re talking shame, silence, and the way society loves to weigh in on bodies it doesn’t belong to. Somewhere between healthcare and heartbreak, this episode unpacks a choice that...
