Show Notes
We start with a heartfelt conversation about raising daughters in a world that still asks girls to protect themselves.
Then, the pop culture homework takes a turn: Kim Kardashian’s five nannies, Dena’s confession about getting help, and Rihanna keeping everyone waiting. Plus, which Hollywood star held up an entire room… for fried chicken?
Big feelings, questionable celebrity behaviour, and plenty of opinions, dAlings 🎭💕
