After Dark Edition :: Life Didn’t Go as Planned — And We’re Talking About It
Our After Dark Edition is back for a new season! Ashley and I recap the summer, share a skin-care update, and talk through a bizarre streak of bad luck. Then it’s time for “the audacity”: a viral divorce grievance list, age-gap dating, strange DMs and unsolicited advice about how women should talk and dress.

I also share how I had to walk through a second wave of heartbreak —and how faith, grace, and forgiveness kept me grounded when my world felt shattered. Yet in the exact same breath, I had the surreal tension of celebrating the biggest milestone of my broadcasting career: landing my own radio show
