The digital age

Advice for young viewers watching the show
For young viewers watching the show, she said, “I know my friends and I can be a lot sometimes, and we make each other laugh, but years from now I hope younger viewers can have the confidence to navigate the complexity of hitting huge life milestones and friendships and know that it doesn’t always look perfect or one way.”

Future plans
On her future plans, she shared, “My future plans are highlighting causes that mean a lot to me, launching my podcast and falling in love with motherhood.”
