On this episode of Vibin' & Kinda Thrivin', I'm joined by YouTuber and host of Toni Bryanne TV Podcast and The Decision Podcast; Toni Bryanne, for a no-filter deep dive into the chaos of modern life. We're talking everything from the rise (and fall) of ethical journalism in the age of Al to why Gen Alpha can't read, and how misinformation is warping our collective empathy. We get into the Sydney Sweeney bathwater situation, the oversexualization of women in media, and whether it's possible to reclaim power through sex work or if the marketing is just getting lazy. Plus, we're going in on modern dating, emotional unavailability, choosing peace over partnerships, and why women in their 30s are living their best, most intentional lives. And of course, we wrap with a Spill the Tea that had both of us yelling "drop him off at his mom's!" If you've ever felt like you're changing faster than the world can keep up, this one's for you.
