Please Don’t Quote Me! is the unfiltered journal of Ari — a 20-something Latina college grad balancing her 9-5, a serious relationship, rent deadlines, and the chaos of trying to figure it all out. From candid rants and quiet reflections to pop culture takes and quarter-life crises, Ari shares the messy, real, sometimes hilarious process of girl bossing through adulthood (whatever that means). No quotes, no experts — just vibes.
Growing up means changing, and sometimes that means realizing that the friendships you once thought would last forever no longer fit the person you’re becoming. In this episode, Ari opens up about the complicated reality of outgrowing friends, drifting apart, and wondering whether you did something wrong when a friendship starts to feel different. We talk about the guilt that can come with letting people go, even when nobody did anything wrong, and why growing apart doesn’t mean the friendship wasn’t meaningful. Because sometimes, you can genuinely love and appreciate someone while still accepting that you’re meant to walk different paths.

A Life Lived with Intention
What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t that you’re not doing enough, but that you’re not being intentional about what you’re doing? In this episode, I’m getting real about breaking out of the cycle of simply reacting to life and learning to make choices that actually align with the life I want. We’re talking about productivity, rest, relationships, social media, boundaries, and the little decisions that quietly shape who we become. So, fearless rule-breakers… are you actually living the life you want, or are you just letting life happen to you?
