January is flying by, the weather is absolutely unhinged, and we’re vibin’… mostly. In this episode of Vibin’ & Kinda Thrivin’, Alessandra settles in for a cozy (and candid) episode, sharing what’s been weighing on her mind, what she’s been consuming lately, and why this season feels both exhausting and oddly fast.

From navigating stir-crazy winter energy and complicated media consumption to unpacking big thoughts around reading culture, growth, and critical thinking, this episode blends reflection with real-life perspective. Alessandra also dives into Spill the Tea submissions, offering honest advice on dating in your 30s, evolving friendships, outgrowing your hometown, setting boundaries with family, money dynamics in relationships, and how to actually rest when your brain won’t shut off.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, restless, or just in need of a comforting conversation that feels like a voice note from a friend, this one’s for you.

She sprinkles in a few cozy winter favorites, current reads, and what’s been helping her reset without over-consuming. Then we jump into Spill the Tea with listener write-ins covering boundaries, burnout, friendships shifting during healing, relationship honesty, comparison, and how to protect your peace without abandoning yourself.

If you’ve been tired, overstimulated, or trying to find your footing again, this one’s for you.

After a long, messy, human year, Vibin’ & Kinda Thrivin’ is officially back and this comeback episode is equal parts reset, reality check, and big-sister pep talk.

Alessandra opens up about why she went quiet in 2025 (burnout, anxiety, overwhelm, and the exhaustion of living through nonstop “once-in-a-lifetime” chaos). She talks about stepping away to protect her mental health, finding her “why” again, and what she’s bringing into 2026.

Then we jump into your Spill the Teas about a caregiver torn between loyalty, grief, and financial security during hospice care, a listener whose toxic ex moved two doors down and more.

If you’ve been feeling burned out, overstimulated, stuck in people-pleasing, or ready to rebuild your life with more peace and self-respect, this episode is for you.
