Show Notes
We need to talk about the list. You know the one - the notes app document from 2019, or that paper you wrote back when you were 13, that has "6'2", funny, loves his mom, has a retirement account" written out like a job posting for a husband. This episode gets into all of it: how I found my person, the light investigavite (stalking) work that may or may not have involved knowing his siblings' names, ex-girlfriends, and every job he's had, before we had a real conversation. And the very thin line between manifesting a relationship and just... deciding someone is yours before they've agreed to that. We're getting honest about what it actually looks like when you're in a situationship that only exists in one person's head - and somehow it still works out. But we're also going deep on the list itself. Is having a detailed vision of your future partner helping you or just setting you up to overlook the right person because he didn't check the box you wrote at 13?! Because there's a version of the list that protects you, and a version that becomes a way to avoid anything real. This episode is for everyone who's ever been so sure about someone with absolutely zero evidence - and for anyone still holding onto a list they might need to burn.
More from Pretty Unstable
Reality TV is getting MESSY, and Klailea has a lot to say. From the Carrie Ann Inaba judging controversy on DWTS and the hate surrounding Connor Wood.. to possible favoritism, fan wars, and the reality shows everyone should be watching, she's diving into the drama, questionable decisions, and unpopular opinions that have everyone talking. But why are we all SO obsessed with watching other people's lives? Whether it's watching a complete train wreck unfold or secretly wishing we had someone's money, house, wardrobe, or entire lifestyle, reality TV has a way of making us compare our lives to people we don't even know. Klailea gets into the weird relationship between entertainment, jealousy, and aspiration, plus the shows she can't stop watching and why sometimes a little chaos makes the best television.
This week Klailea gets into money & how complicated everyone’s relationship with it is. Spenders, savers, & everyone in between, plus the buying habits, the saving habits, & the Sephora trips that were supposed to be quick. Klailea is fully addicted to spending, but it also really sucks that as an adult, literally everything costs money. She just wants to spend it on fun girly makeup & cute things, not a mortgage.
Klailea is saying it out loud: she’s pretty lazy. She walks through what her work actually looks like compared to a regular 9-5, & she admits she has it easier than most people. An office job is harder in a lot of ways. But her job has its own kind of hard, & it’s a lot more than filming a video & getting paid. She also gets into the tradwife conversation & why women should be able to do both. Staying home & cooking dinner, building a career, or a mix of the two are all fair game, & Klailea has zero patience for anyone who says otherwise.
Klailea is catching you up on everything with a full reintroduction to Pretty Unstable. She starts with random facts about herself that most people have no idea about, then gets into where her life is at right now & what u can except being apart of Pretty Unstable! She also explains why she will never be on her family’s YouTube channel & why she is, without question, the pickiest eater there is. A few other dramatic stories come out along the way too.
Is every girl friendship secretly a performance? On this episode of Pretty Unstable, Klailea goes there: the compliments you're not sure are real, the friends who only show up when it benefits them, the group chat that flips on you overnight, & the unspoken rules every girl somehow just knows. Fake, semi-transactional, or just how girls operate? Klailea breaks down why girls act the way we do with each other, the loyal parts, the calculated parts, & the parts nobody admits to out loud. We're dramatic, observant, sweet, & scary all at once, & honestly, we deserve to be studied. Pretty, unstable, & fascinating, this one's for every girl who has ever overthought a friendship.
