EP 36: Fasting, Ghosting & Pardoning – Just Another Week in America

So What Now? with Carla and Dex

On this juicy episode of So What Now, Carla kicks things off by sharing her prep for Bali — a water fast that helped her shed six pounds (and gain three right back 😅). Still, she's feeling herself and ready for the beach! Meanwhile, Dex crowns the Woman of the Week: a queen who ghosted her man right after he handed her a winning lotto ticket. City girls up by a million 💅🏾💸

Then it's a hard pivot to politics as we unpack Trump's headline-grabbing pardons, including Todd & Julie Chrisley (fraud squad!), NBA YoungBoy, Kodak Black, and Lil Wayne. Carla shares what her presidential platform would be — starting with a strict no deadbeat baby daddies policy.

We get real with Ileana Gracia, founder of Latinas for Trump, who's suddenly shocked by Trump's immigration policies. Carla gives her a reality check she won't forget.

Plus, we offer survival tips for navigating Trump's presidency (again):

• Set media boundaries 🧠

• Make space for joy 🪩

• Rest is resistance 🛌

Finally, we dive into a heartfelt listener letter from an entrepreneur juggling business dreams and bestie FOMO. 💌 You're not alone, sis. Keep building. The trips (and the tribe that gets it) will come.

We wanna see y'all IRL. We're planning some in-person events, just for the ladies. Click the link and let's get out of the group chat.
