(Video podcast available on Spotify & YouTube) Learning how to use my free will, LA pride, haunted hotels, airport personalities, wlw drama, why nerdy + cool = cool, and how to start doing whatever you want. This week’s episode covers it all!

In this episode, Aleya and Kai talk about what it really looks like to use your free will. From choosing where you live to choosing how you respond to people, they get into how to stop overthinking and start doing what you actually want. They break down type a vs. type b energy at the airport, staying in a “haunted” hotel (reminder to always do your research), and the dramatic run-ins that prove how small the world really is. Plus, why being “cool” is just code for being unapologetic. See you on the pod!

(Video podcast available on Spotify & YouTube) If you’re in your 20s and trying to figure out what success really means, you’re not alone.

In this episode of Tease, Aleya sits down with her friend Emily to talk about the real version of success in your 20s. Not the curated, aesthetic kind, but the version that includes confusion, healing, starting over, and learning to trust yourself again.

Emily shares her experiences navigating work, money, mindset, relationships, and the unique pressure of being the oldest daughter, all while staying grounded and intentional. Together, they discuss identity, timelines, burnout, self-doubt, dating, and what it truly means to grow into the life you want.

This is the kind of conversation every twenty-something needs. Raw, thoughtful, and reassuring, it’s a reminder that becoming successful doesn’t always look successful while it’s happening. See you on the pod!

(Video podcast available on Spotify & YouTube) This week’s episode feels a lot like a free drink, great but unexpected. Aleya shares what her Vegas chapter has really been like, not the highlight reel, but the emotional hangovers, moments of clarity, and the solo club nights that turned into surprising friendships.

From learning how to use girl privilege in Vegas, getting stuck in a hurricane in Mexico, and navigating new friendships to realizing she was tired of being alone, this episode is what growing up in your 20s sounds like when you’re somewhere between healing and having fun.

She breaks down the perks of girl privilege, the trap of hustling for someone else’s dream, and what happens when you stop waiting on people to experience life. See you on the pod!

(Video podcast available on Spotify & YouTube) How to navigate friendships in a relationship and feeling left out as the single friend.

We get it, you’re in love… now what about your friends? This week, we’re diving into how to keep your friendships alive while still being in a relationship. Whether you’re the couple that low-key only hangs out with each other, the duo sharing a friend group, or the single friend wondering where everyone went, we got you.

Also in this episode: Aleya wore her curls out for the first time in years (and her makeup lasted 11 hours with no blotting, thank you), tried self-tanning on dark skin for the first time, and went on a Cinco de Mayo friendship date that somehow turned into a hard launch — framed photo and all. From clumsy moments to craving connection, we’re talking self-worth, social balance, and the little things that remind us who we are, with or without a partner.

(Video podcast available on Spotify & YouTube) A teaser’s guide to caring less & living more!

This episode is for anyone tired of being a try-hard, constantly overthinking, and letting people’s opinions dictate your confidence. Aleya talks about learning how not caring can actually be the most powerful move in work, friendships, dating, and how you show up for yourself. From a wild job interview in Vegas to compliments that made men uncomfortable (oops), we get into the beauty of not performing, not apologizing for your personality, and finally letting go of that pressure to shrink. The Teasers era is about doing what feels right, even if it’s messy, awkward, or loud. We’re recovering people-pleasers over here, and we don’t feel bad about it. I became very nonchalant, but that’s what y’all wanted, right? For me to not give a f*ck? See you on the pod!

(Video podcast available on Spotify & YouTube) Grab your sunglasses, throw on your pajamas — it’s 4/20 week and we’re celebrating the right way. From friendship dates and mixing liquor (don’t) to greening out, smoking out of an apple, and Seattle roommate drama we swore we’d never talk about again — this one has everything. It’s giving a little too honest, a little too high, and definitely a very dope episode!

(Video podcast available on Spotify & YouTube) Happy Aries season, babes! In true fire sign fashion, we’re bringing the heat this week. After celebrating her birthday (yes, for the second time—trust me, you’ll want to hear about it), Aleya faces the question: Why does turning 23 feel so serious?

She also discusses being the oldest daughter and the importance of outfit-saving. Because trust me, a night out can never go wrong with a good outfit and some pictures before the event. On a deeper note, Aleya opens up about her recent diagnosis of OCD, along with the signs and symptoms that aren't talked about. See you on the pod!
