Besties, Boundaries & Birthday Guest Lists

June 10, 2026 · 56 min

Show notes

Stassi thinks Taylor is way too nice, Taylor refuses to change, and somehow that turns into a conversation about toxic friendships, dark empaths, and whether best friends should occasionally humble each other. Then it's all things Summer House, Taylor's ongoing obsession, family dynamics, and why everyone seems to walk away from the exact same situation with a completely different story. Plus, Stassi is planning her birthday and realizing that keeping a celebration small sounds great in theory—until you have to make the guest list.
