  • EP98: In today's episode, we’re diving into the often awkward topic of money, especially when moving in with your partner. Why is it so hard to talk about finances? Many of us weren't taught about money, and there's often a lot of shame or embarrassment tied to it.

    I’m not a financial professional whatsoever, but for some reason I get a lot of finance questions from my audience so decided to dive into it.

    We'll discuss key conversations you need to have: how much you each make, your credit scores, budgeting, and how to split expenses. Whether you’re a 50:50 kinda person (you know my stance on that), one person covering everything, or a percentage-based approach, we’ll explore what might work best for you.

    We’ll also cover the pros and cons of joint accounts, and avoiding feeling financially taken advantage of. Plus, we'll share tips on understanding each other’s spending habits and ensuring both partners feel secure.

In today's episode, I'm going to open up and share a mix of experiences, from the wildest birthday parties to those moments of reflection where I wonder, “What was I thinking?”

  • EP84: Like most BFFs right now, my friend Lisa and are getting down and dirty discussing the most recent season of Love is Blind. We're sipping wine to get the convo flowing, and we're ready to unpack all the unhinged behavior from this season.Let me give you a sneak peek of our unfiltered opinions: Trevor is just seeking fame and attention, Chelsea is not exactly a Megan Fox lookalike (no offense), Johnny seems to be clueless about protection (but we hope he figures it out for Amy's sake), Sarah Ann and Jeremy are the worst, and someone needs to check on Matthew (although AD might be doing that post-show). As for Clay, he's either a weak man or a work in progress (but he needs to step it up). We have a lot more to say and trust me, you don't want to miss it. Our final question is for all of you: Is love blind? Grab a drink, sit back, and join us as we laugh, vent, and spill all the tea on Love is Blind. It's a wild ride, and we're here for it.Episode highlights…Would you do reality TV just to get famous?Jimmy’s disappointment with ChelseaBreaking down Jimmy’s lack of contraceptive knowledge Why we are huge fans of JessicaSarah Ann’s and her problematic behavior Brittany and Kenneth are boring Unpacking Matthew AD dating Matthew after the showWeak men and men in progress (We are talking about you, Clay)Is love really blind?

  • EP83: At the start of this year, my goal was to slow down and focus on self-care. But, in Koko fashion, I found chasing perfection and loading up on tasks left and right. Life, however, had different plans, and things quickly spiraled into complete chaos… Do you ever feel like you're running on a never-ending hamster wheel?

    In today's SOLO, we are celebrating Women's Month and Endometriosis Awareness Month, by diving into the topics of intimacy, red flags in sex, and of course, ways to spice up your sex life.
