015 Cry Like You Mean It with IRL Cherub Marta Mae

015 Cry Like You Mean It with IRL Cherub Marta Mae

WARNING, this week’s episode is a tear jerker... so don’t say we didn’t warn you. We tapped our favorite irl cherub, Marta 444 an incredibly tender episode on owning vulnerability, losing a loved one, launching a successful business (have you heard of Dieux, duhhhhhh) in the midst of a pandemic, digital detoxing when your work is rooted in being a url girlie, the best chicken tenders, siblings or dating, influencer gifting scammers and so much more. 

Amrit’s Host note: **first time I’ve done one of these! I can’t fathom the weight of losing a parent, let alone being brave enough to share  the story in a public forum so honest and openly in the hopes of others feeling less alone. I feel truly grateful to be able to facilitate this conversation, a special thank you to Marta for trusting me with her story.

013 Tedious Lives of Retired Party Girls with TikTok’s Tefi

Tefi told me to, and so the Bible said. A TikTok National Treasure with pop culture hot takes and celeb investigative journalism regarded so highly, one could say she is the Olivia Benson of Hollywood —  how lucky are we to be blessed with her presence!!!!!!! Some of the many trash talk topics we covered: What happens when you lose a suitcase of Colombian diamonds? How do you turn a red carpet slip into major national news? What is a tell tale sign of a fake online relationship? How do you track a suitcase down on Skid Row and manage to orchestrate a meet cute romantic prospect along the way? Are we really trading in our glitz and glam for a namaste lifestyle? A petition to abolish long relationship captions, a solid case for why we stan the offline King and an Unhinged exclusive on Tefi’s dating updates. 

There is only one way to find out! Tune in for yourself and see**

I think 2024 is going to be my year because let’s just say… it’s been a slow start in the world of Unhinged.
