TTFIO is Back
TTFIO is back!! I'm so ready to kick off Season 2 and I have so many exciting things in store for you.
In this solo episode, you'll hear all about what I've been up to recently and how I've been beating the winter blues (spoiler alert: lots of Disney trips). I take a deep dive into the black hole that is my bag and together we discover all of the things that have been lost to its depths.
At the end, we flip the script and I take the hot seat to answer 23 questions for 2023. You'll learn everything from my favorite restaurants in New York and LA to my celebrity crush to my ultimate all-time Al P's Three.
Welcome back. This is only the beginning.

Breaking Down Conspiracy Theories: Avril Lavigne, Chuck E. Cheese, The Simpsons, and More
This week on TTFIO I sit down with my dog-walker-turned-little sister, Georgia Goodman. Georgia is a 16-year-old bursting with energy and we met under very random circumstances, which we get into and reflect on how much our friendship has grown since then. Georgia and I always find ourselves talking about conspiracy theories, so on today's episode we go over some of our favorites. Is Avril Lavigne still alive? Do The Simpsons predict the future? Does Chuck E. Cheese recycle and repackage uneaten pizza? Tune in and let us know what you think!

Figuring Out Independence, Therapy, Parental Pressure, and the Sophomore Slump with Thomas Pham
On this week's episode of TTFIO, Thomas Pham joins me to talk about the success he has found at only 19 years old, growing up in an immigrant family, his mental health journey, and more. Thomas is a co-host of “Teenager Therapy,” a podcast that explores the struggles of teenage life from a lens that only a group of teenage friends can provide. They have interviewed guests like TikTok star James Wright, the CEO of Instagram, and even Prince Harry and Meghan, the duke & duchess of Sussex–which, believe me, I made sure to get all the details on.
Thomas opens up about what it's like hosting a show with his ex and how he's navigated exactly what he's comfortable sharing on a podcast with over 255,000 followers on TikTok. As always, we wrap up the episode with another edition of Al P's Three and you'll get to hear what college students at USC are listening to these days at parties; I think you'll be surprised at what a throwback he picks.
Enjoy!

Figuring Out Sex, Religion, and Parent Dynamics
This week I'm joined by a very close friend of mine for one of my favorite conversations on TTFIO so far. From his childhood as a queer kid in LA raised by devout Catholics to his life now as a venture capitalist with a *very* active sex life, we really cover it all in this episode. He opens up and shares the experience of losing his mom as he was on the cusp of coming out and how much his life has changed since that time. He has so many amazing stories and his energy is amazing, so I hope you enjoy!

Welcome to TTFIO's Divorce Miniseries
Welcome to our Divorce Miniseries here on TTFIO! Over the next few episodes I will be exploring how divorce affects the couple involved, as well as the people close to them. I'll have guests on who have been touched by divorce in different ways, but I'm starting the series off with a solo episode to dive deeper into my experience as a child of divorce. I expand on what I've previously shared on TTFIO and tell a story about the period in my childhood when I refused to spend any time at my dad's house. I've grown so much since my parents divorced and I can't wait to learn even more over this miniseries. Enjoy!
