This week on The Bad Millennial, I’m taking a real-time look at the social trends shaping America right now—through the lens of Black History Month. From culture shifts and online conversations to progress, pushback, and everything in between, this episode is part reflection, part reality check, and fully honest.

Because Black history isn’t just something we celebrate for 28 days—it’s something I believe we’re actively living, questioning, and redefining every single day.

So I’m talking through what’s changed, what hasn’t, and what it all might mean for us… right now.

I'm talking about the challenges of adulting, including managing time, sleep, and responsibilities while navigating the complexities of millennial life. And to keep it fun, I reflect on pop culture moments that resonate with the millennial experience, highlighting the balance between personal growth and societal expectations.

I'm breaking down the week’s wildest moments—Cardi, twitter chaos, and everything in between. Because let’s be honest, 2025’s been a Certified Mess. This episode's your chance to laugh at it all, cringe, and maybe question humanity (again).

I'm back! And talking about life in the Sunken Place—aka when the news cycle, politics, and pop culture all feel like they’re dragging us down at once.

From doom scrolling and political chaos, I’ll unpack how it all feeds into that trapped, “can’t escape” energy.

But don’t worry—it’s not all gloom. I’m sharing my own “escape hatches” (spoiler: memes, creating, and laughing at the nonsense) and encouraging you to find yours too.

We're talking about how to fake it ‘til you make it without completely losing your mind, why one ‘no’ is just a stepping stone to something better, and why even clumsy, awkward baby steps are better than standing still.
