Close Friends Only

This week I’m joined by my guy friend Gio (a dating veteran) to talk about dating patterns, self-reflection, and the horrifying realization that the people we date might actually be a reflection of us... what a crazy thought. We get into the reason we date toxic people, how to attract better men, and, of course, the felony-level behavior happening on men’s Hinge profiles. Gio and I put ourselves t...

This week on Close Friends Only, I’m joined by Celeste, co-founder of Known, for a very important girly debrief on modern dating. We get into why traditional dating apps may be designed to keep you single, how AI matchmaking is changing the game, the actual science behind fish pics, and our favorite moves for hitting on guys at the bar. Celeste shares so many fascinating dating stats and insights...

Welcome back to Sheet Talk : where I invite a guest into my bed to sh*t talk all things dating & relationships! This week, my friend Cam joins me to talk about becoming a young mom at 25, choosing a nontraditional timeline, building a family before marriage, and handling the internet having way too many opinions about her life. It's juicy. Let's dive in. xx, Kayla

If you love hearing other people’s drama that has nothing to do with you  — welcome you are in the right place.   My friend Liam and I ponder our dating lives… will we ever find love? Unclear via our current dating dilemmas. And we get into it with random strangers — secrets, finding the one, and breaking boundaries. xx Kayla & Liam •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••...

Bad Hinge Prompts. Dating Pipelines. Unwell Behavior. Dating apps have turned love into admin. Too many options, too little eye contact, and somehow everyone is both looking for something real and incapable of replying in under 12 hours. So naturally, we had to discuss. We’re talking about the current state of dating apps, what happens when you run your bestie’s dating profile, and the absolutely...

Today we’re introducing Sheet Talk , a new Close Friends Only segment where I invite a guest into my bed for a date and we talk all things dating and relationships. My guy bestie Liam joins me for our first date! We’re getting the male perspective on ghosting, situationships, dating apps, and why the bar for men is somewhere in the Earth’s crust. Will there be a second date? Find out on this weeks...

Best Friend Breakups. Slow Fades. Too Awkward to Ignore. Some things somehow hurt worse than a bad date: best friend breakups. The ghosting that drags on, the weird tension in every text, the “we should hang” that never happens. It’s messy, it’s real, and yes — we’re diving straight in. Welcome to this weeks episode. xx, Kayla & Aumi

If your heart is in the trenches right now, welcome. In this episode, I break down three very different breakups from my life: one left me weirdly unfazed, one absolutely took me out, and one I’m still healing from in real time. We’re getting into the lore, the lessons, the crash outs, and how I actually got myself back.

Bad Dates. Worse Decisions. Stories Too Wild to Make Up. What starts as a casual debrief quickly spirals into dates-from-hell chaos: catfishes showing up fatter than their pics with mullets, bragging about exes and threesomes, coffee-date stinginess, period stained sheets, and a jacket that became collateral damage. This episode is messy, unfiltered, and maybe a little too honest—exactly how we li...

Is your love life written in the stars… or just cursed by Mercury retrograde? We’re joined by our bestie Hannah Sophia, a fifth-generation astrologer, to help us get our love charts read by the stars. What starts as a “let’s see what the stars say” vibe quickly spirals into astrological chaos: figuring out why we keep having the same dating disasters, Venus signs exposing our romantic blind spots,...

In 12 minutes, we’re unpacking how to survive the blackout scaries. For anyone doing post-night damage control or rereading texts in the group chat with one eye closed, this one’s for you. xoxo, Kayla

One conversation. Several men in uniform. Zero lessons learned. What starts as a casual debrief quickly spirals into men in uniform: hooking up with a firefighter at a wedding, flirting with the  idea  of the Mile High Club, and writing love letters with a military man that felt straight out of a Dear John montage. From getting kicked off a fire truck to realizing your firefighter hookup has a ver...

In 14 minutes, we’re talking about why being single can feel so irritating and defeating. If Hinge just humbled you or you’re stuck in third-wheel captivity, this is your small pep talk and mental palate cleanser. xoxo, Kayla

We hit record and immediately forgot we had microphones on. Doing a little debrief on our current boy situations and waste no time spiraling into all our firsts: first crushes, first kisses, first breakups, and the first time we had s*x. It’s chaotic, unfiltered, and very much feels like we overshared. Intrusive thoughts, shared publicly. Welcome to episode one. xx, Kayla & Aumi
