This episode starts with a recap of my first Vintage Boutique Clothing Exchange, a joyful mix of mimosas, shared fashion, and real-life connection, before shifting into something I’ve been thinking a lot about: parasocial relationships, those one-sided connections we form with public figures, influencers, and podcast hosts. From audio intimacy to AI-generated voices, I explore how we connect, why it matters, and what it means in a digital world.
