This week on Don’t Start, Candice and Sarah sit down with Alyssa — host of the hit podcast Miss Judged — for a hilarious and brutally honest conversation about judgment, relationships, social media, and learning how to own who you are unapologetically.

From internet opinions to personal insecurities, nothing is off limits as the girls dive into the pressure women feel to be “perfect,” the chaos of dating and friendships, and what happens when you finally stop caring what everyone thinks.

In this episode, we talk about:
• being misunderstood online and in real life
• confidence, criticism, and comparison culture
• relationships, red flags, and modern dating
• building a platform while staying authentic
• and the wild things women get judged for every single day

It’s funny, relatable, unfiltered, and feels exactly like a girls’ night you never want to end.

Get ready to laugh, vent, and probably text your group chat halfway through.

Candice and Sarah are diving headfirst into the pressure cooker that is May. From Mental Health Awareness Month and the unrealistic expectations of “Hot Girl Summer”… to astrology, mood swings, burnout, body image, and why everyone suddenly thinks Mercury is personally attacking them — nothing is off limits.

It’s funny, honest, slightly unhinged, and way too relatable. Because between healing, hustling, glowing up, and pretending we have our lives together… we’re all just trying to survive the group chat. ☀️🫠✨
