I Let Someone In... and Learned a Lot

In this emotionally candid episode of Untraditionally Lala, host Lala Kent reflects on a recent emotional breakdown after opening up to someone new, describing it as a painful but transformative experience. She shares how her vulnerability led to intense emotional withdrawal, likening love to a drug with addictive qualities and withdrawal symptoms. Despite feeling shattered, she finds healing through community—speaking at Girls Day LA, attending a vibrant LGBTQ+ softball tournament called Glassa, and reconnecting with her creative self through songwriting. The episode also touches on broader societal themes, including the illusion of perfection on social media, the emotional toll of long-term relationships, and the complexities of modern dating. Lala grapples with the idea that healing isn't linear and that sometimes, the path forward involves embracing discomfort, community, and creative expression.
