Delusional Diaries

this week on Delusional Diaries, the girls are joined by their new, but already very close, friend: Greta Louise Tomé. this episode has it all: they get into how they first met, the unexpected evolution of their friendship, and why being stuck together in Australia somehow fast-tracked them into “we’re basically family now” territory… but of course, that’s not all (as per usual)!naturally, the conversation takes a turn into relationships, career paths, and the reality behind the lives everyone thinks are perfect online. they talk dating a pilot (and whether that’s actually a red flag), getting married young, and the difference between choosing someone at 25 vs. 35. there’s also discussions about therapy vs. “I’ll just deal with it myself,” the concept of delusional confidence, and why the way you think about your life might actually be shaping it more than you realize.Oh, and the craziness you know & love? it is also very much present. we’re talking influencer secrets, iPhone camera conspiracies, random wellness debates, and a surprise reveal that no one saw coming. somewhere between serious life advice and absolutely unserious yapping sessions, the girls also get into how to actually meet people, stop giving closed-off energy, and romanticize your life a little more. it’s exactly what you’d expect: just three friends oversharing and somehow making it make sense.Timestamps 1:31 - How we met Greta 11:17 - Pros and cons of getting married young 17:45 - Greta’s secret 24:54 - Questions from followers 42:27 - The art of self tanning More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkMore of Greta:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gretalouisetome/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gretalouisetomeLinks: Ollie - Ollie.

this week on Delusional Diaries, the girls dive straight into chaos as Jaz recounts a week-long internet spiral after a TikTok misunderstanding turned into full-blown drama. what started as an accidental follow and a harmless message quickly snowballed into viral screenshots, missing context, and millions of views, along with a wave of hate comments that seriously impacted her mental health. they unpack how quickly narratives can twist online, why being misunderstood hits harder than criticism, and the emotional toll of watching strangers decide who you are without the full story.from there, the conversation shifts into a broader discussion about navigating negativity as creators. they reflect on Reddit rabbit holes, the addictive cycle of reading comments, and the long-term impact of internalizing other people’s opinions. the girls get candid about anxiety, hormones, coping mechanisms, and learning to stop chasing universal approval. they also debate manifestation, self-perception, and how constantly trying to “fix” yourself based on criticism can dull your personality and make you lose sight of reality.of course, the episode balances vulnerability with classic “delusional diaries” energy. they talk about the “people hate you every day” mindset, breaking toxic habits, and why you’ll never win if you try to please everyone online. the conversation touches on performative activism, when to speak up versus amplify others, and the pressure creators feel to comment on everything. It’s messy, honest, and relatable: covering internet drama, mental health, growth, and the ongoing mission to stay confident (and a little delusional) in a world that’s always ready to misunderstand you.Timestamps0:20 - Jaz’s block of the week 14:36 - Stay off Reddit 26:02 - Halley’s weekend updates 29:41 - Reality TV 48:24 - First impressions  More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkLinks Ollie - Ollie.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are taking it all the way back to the early covid days, and realizing just how insane that era actually was. what started as a “two-week break” turned into a full identity crisis, and the girls unpack exactly where they were when everything shut down. from Halley barely surviving unpaid internships, college, and New York burnout, to Jaz thriving in her corporate era before getting abruptly pulled into HR for a literal covid exposure scandal, their origin stories are crazy, funny and life-altering. it’s the kind of hindsight that makes you go… wait, that actually changed everything.they get real about how losing their routines, jobs, and sense of normalcy forced them into completely different paths: ones that ultimately led them to where they are now, together in the studio. from getting laid off and spiraling into depression, to starting TikTok “as a joke” and accidentally building careers, they talk about the weird in-between phase of doing nothing, doing too much, and trying to figure out who you are when everything familiar disappears. it’s honest, relatable, reflective, and lowkey proof that sometimes your lowest point is actually the setup.of course, it wouldn’t be Delusional Diaries without the side quests. the episode spirals into thrift store hustles turned mini empires, fake designer accusations, high school party lore, and the kind of crazy teenage decisions that somehow make sense in retrospective. they discuss parenting topics & there’s also random debates, questionable choices, and a lot of “why were we like this?” energy. we’re sure that, you’ll find yourself in this episode, you’ll look back & reflect with the girls, and laugh just as much as they did…Timestamps0:28 - 6 years since COVID 18:10 - What were we all doing during lockdown 21:06 - Golfing 24:25 - Going to court 26:40 - Sweet 16 and high school parties 48:18: - Lemme send a good PR package More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkLinks Cozy Earth - Go to cozyearth.com/DELUSIONAL for up to 20% off!Blissy - Wake up with clearer skin, smoother hair, and cooler sleep.

this week on delusional diaries, halley and jaz are all over the place in the best way, starting with losing their voices, random health spirals, and immediately getting irritated by the internet. from unsolicited outfit commentary to people creating problems out of thin air, they get into why being perceived online is a losing game, and why sometimes you just have to laugh and move on (or at least pretend to). then it’s full-on life logistics mode as halley dives into planning her “not a wedding” wedding, and realizes it’s basically… a wedding. they break down everything from vendors and food to guest dynamics, timing stress, and the very real pressure of making sure everyone has a good time. it’s less about tradition and more about creating a night that actually feels fun, which somehow comes with its own level of chaos. meanwhile, home renovations, decor decisions, and spending spirals are in full swing, because apparently everything happens all at once.and because nothing stays normal for long, the episode takes a hard left: wild stories from the engagement party, lost luggage drama, matcha obsession updates, and a passionate rant about people who don’t pick up after their dogs. they also get into jewelry dilemmas, their blocks of the week, apartment decisions, and the tiny inconveniences that somehow take up your entire day. it’s unhinged, it’s relatable, and it’s exactly the kind of chaotic life update you’d expect from your favorite duo.Timestamps 0:18 - we might be getting sick  2:09 - block of the week 5:36 - Halley’s party plans 16:33 - house updates28:40 - Jaz is (actually) staying in her apartment39:35 - b**ching hour  48:39 - David’s protein barsMore of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkLinks Quince - Quince.com/delusional for free shipping and 365 day returnsNutrafol - Nutrafol.com code DELUSIONAL for $10 off your first month’s subscription and free shippingProgressive Insurance: progressive.comWayfair: wayfair.comApartments.com - apartments.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

this week on delusional diaries, Halley and Jaz are finally back from their very long stay down under and debriefing everything that went down in Australia. what started as a brand trip quickly turned into a full-blown adventure when their flight home got unexpectedly canceled, leaving them stranded for a few extra days. what could’ve been a travel nightmare actually became a blessing in disguise: after days of packed schedules and filming content, they suddenly had time to slow down, explore, and actually enjoy the trip like normal humans instead of “working girls” on influencer duty.the girls get into the chaos of international travel delays, the oddly specific stress of canceled long-haul flights, and the bizarre feeling of manifesting something you joked about just hours earlier. they also talk about the unique dynamic of brand trips, where you sometimes meet people for the first time and immediately jump into the deepest level of friendship: traveling together. from bonding with greta and sydney to the strange intimacy of spending 11 straight days with people you barely knew before, they unpack how those trips can fast-track friendships in a way normal life never really does.of course, the episode is also a classic post-trip catch-up. they reflect on the surreal experience of living out something they talked about manifesting on the podcast, the difference between content trips and real vacations, and the small moments that ended up meaning the most once the cameras were off. between travel chaos, friendship lore, and the general delirium that comes from too many long flights and too little sleep, it’s a chaotic, reflective, and very delusional diaries kind of episode. Timestamps 0:20 - Back from Australia 14:58 - Working on the Will18:32 - Testing our knowledge 35:56 - Emojis, Reality TV, and Breakups 45:48 - In the name of a BirkinMore of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkLinks Ollie: Ollie.

this week on Delusional Diaries, we’re hitting rewind for a full-on highlights episode: a chaotic, unfiltered compilation of the moments that define this podcast. from petty friendship fights (the anxiety spiral of a “hi” text with no follow-up, pregame arrival time wars, and who actually respects whose schedule) to brand trip beach blowups and influencer grudges that have lasted literal years, nothing is left out. the girls revisit the almost-move-to-florida era, the signed lease, the shared one-bedroom plan, the horse girl volunteer dreams, and how brand trips, boyfriends, and life completely rerouted everything. of course, it wouldn’t be delusional diaries without the unhinged domestic lore: caffeine addictions and diet coke dependencies, coffee-fueled aggression, eating dog treats as a “sweet treat,” hotel room roommate nightmares, injuring-a-bunny-by-proxy (rip), and the ongoing debate about which dogs are draft picks versus practice squad. they unpack patience (or the lack of it), marathon hypotheticals for cash, chaotic family holidays, and what happens when your boyfriend’s entire extended family listens to your very explicit podcast.but woven through the madness are the moments that made this show what it is: opening up about worst eras, mental health lows, therapy, imposter syndrome versus delusional confidence, and what it means to grow up publicly in your 20s. this episode is Delusional Diaries, wrapped into one very on-brand recap. if you’re an old listener, we know you’ll love revisiting these moments. if you’re new here, this is your perfect entry point into the rollercoaster.More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are back on the couch after a whirlwind couple of days, starting with Maddie’s Miami wedding, which delivered everything: 6 a.m. glam, bridesmaid pool hangs, emotional speeches, and an after-party that turned into a full-on club experience. they reflect on watching a friend go from past heartbreaks to finding the right partner, the stress of wedding planning finally paying off, and why seeing someone’s dream day unfold exactly how they imagined it hits so hard. the episode then shifts into a more vulnerable conversation as Jaz opens up about navigating an unexpected loss and the emotional whiplash of going from excitement to processing something entirely different. she shares what it’s like to move through something deeply personal while also living online, balancing private grief with public commentary and unsolicited opinions. together, the girls get honest about hormones, healing, chosen family, and why adult friendships can truly feel like home during life’s harder chapters.of course, they balance the heavy with their very original fun. they dive into the internet frenzy around Mikayla Nogueira’s divorce announcement, debate whether the backlash was fair, and unpack the chaos of Tell Me Lies’ manipulative men and morally grey characters. from influencer ads to toxic situationships, Australia travel plans, Invisalign updates, and 17-hour flight anxiety, this episode is raw, hilarious, and very on-brand: grief, gossip, growth, and a little delusion, all in one.Timestamps 0:32 - Maddie’s wedding recap 15:05 - Internet topics 24:45 - Tell Me Lies Finale 32:56 - Getting on the same page 46:26 - Next Top Model More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz catch up the only way they know how... from celebrating 100 Solidcore classes and resurrecting 90s Tae Bo, to surviving the most aggressive New York cold snap of all time, the girls recap wedding weekends, Miami plans, Turks anticipation, and why group trips, where everyone’s down to drink and beat the same topics into the ground, are elite. there’s also a deep dive into phone battery conspiracies, hoarder-level camera rolls, and the mildly concerning contents of their notes apps.but the heart of the episode centers around Halley’s intense court experience after being “allegedly” assaulted in New York. she opens up about testifying, being cross-examined by the defendant (who represented himself), the chaos of courtroom objections, and the emotional toll of being photographed and gaslit throughout the process. it’s raw, frustrating, at times darkly funny, and an ironic reminder of how draining the legal system can be… especially when someone refuses accountability. the girls unpack what it felt like in real time, from courtroom theatrics to the surreal moment of watching TikTok evidence played out in court.as always, the episode balances heavy with hilariously chaotic. they spiral into jury duty fantasies, debate whether you can escape hell once you’re in it, confess to adult-onset lice trauma (yes, really), read old hate letters to brokers, and expose their most embarrassing past crushes.Timestamps11:08 - Halley Kate Court26:00 - Looking forward to in Feb30:12 - Sentimental value35:08 - Our notes app43:43 - The ABCs46:56 - But you’re an adultMore of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are joined by Alicia Crowder, aka Diana from Tell Me Lies, and it’s peak fangirl chaos and behind-the-scenes tea. they get into the cult-like TikTok community around the show, insane fan theories that almost outdo the writers, and what it’s like to watch people dissect your character in real time. from auditioning over Zoom and finding out she booked the role while sitting on her couch, to the shock of reading THAT plot twist, Alicia shares what it’s really like being at the center of one of the internet’s most unhinged relationship dramas.the girls dive deep into Diana’s psychology: ambition, codependency, perfectionism, and that terrifying type-A composure that somehow still cracks. they talk toxic men, manipulation disguised as love, and why Stephen isn’t strategic, he just wants control. Alicia opens up about Juilliard, 15-hour shoot days, filming scenes out of order, memorizing five-page dialogues, and the pressure of delivering emotional chaos on cue at 4 a.m. plus, the subtle power move of asking writers to let Diana score higher on the LSAT (as she should).and because this is Delusional Diaries, it wouldn’t be complete without a little fun: Diana answering Hinge prompts, night owl vs. morning person debates, dog-mom routines, superstitions during auditions, and the very real spiral of waiting to hear if you’re “the final two.” it’s a mix of ambition, vulnerability, internet obsession, and the reminder that even the most put-together girls are still human. chaotic, thoughtful, and slightly delusional, obviously. just, with a special guest this time!Timestamps0:17 - Alicia Crowder from Tell Me Lies 14:45 - Season 3 reactions (and spoilers) 21:18 - If Diana was on Hinge 27:30 - Auditioning for Tell Me Lies 35:41 - Need a Season 4 Follow Alicia CrowderInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/alicialucillecrowder?igsh=MXdwNnlqYnlxdzk2bw==TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alicialucillecrowder?_r=1&_t=ZP-93qX27Ub0DXMore of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are in full catch-up mode: starting with freezing New York weather, apartment struggles that feel borderline illegal, and the universal winter rage that comes with it. from heat that doesn’t heat to space heaters blowing fuses, it’s a full-on b**ching hour that somehow turns comforting. because if you’re also freezing, spiraling, and questioning your living situation… welcome home.the girls get into engagement discourse, internet weirdos, and the surprisingly heated debate around last names, weddings, and traditions. they talk natural vs. lab diamonds, why people care way too much, and the very real headache of changing your name (paperwork trauma, confirmed). there’s also a wholesome moment of self-reflection, family dynamics, and choosing which traditions actually matter, and which ones you’re allowed to ignore.plus, gym etiquette horror stories, accidental main-character embarrassment, throwback nights out that involve limos and serotonin, and a nostalgic dive into the magcon era you either lived for or somehow missed entirely. it’s chaotic, honest, funny, and very “this could’ve been a private conversation but now it’s a podcast.”, as always. Timestamps 1:35 - We are freezing 21:57 - the MAGCON boys 30:42 - Weddings are expensive 32:00 - The SuperBowl and our predictions 49:27 - Halley’s Elle Woods moment Link to video Jaz references: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8H6RLF9/ More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Halley breaks down how getting engaged didn’t magically change her life or personality, while Jaz keeps things grounded with humor, honesty, and a shared love of spa resets, elite chocolate, and friendship decompression.naturally, the conversation spirals: travel-day crash-outs, snapping at your partner for absolutely no reason, quitting habits during a snowstorm, the existential pressure to have a “hobby,” and the realization that some people thrive in chaos more than consistency. engagement glow, nervous system fried. no pretending, no polishing, just your two favorite besties breaking down everything.Timestamps 0:28 - Travel days & engagements 11:03 - Halley’s first time skiing 18:16 - Switzerland  32:00 - Rest days and hobbies42:41 - The Price is Right More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are truly going to take you on a rollercoaster of chatting & beyond. from unexpectedly feeling way too much empathy during high-stakes sports games to realizing that escapism shouldn’t cause anxiety, they unpack the little thoughts that spiral into way bigger conversations. what starts as football stress quickly turns into a debate about why caring too much can be exhausting, and why sometimes you just want your entertainment to be fun, not emotionally taxing.the girls also get into music moods, pop culture obsessions, and the shows that shaped them. from rethinking sad-girl playlists and romanticizing The Bold Type as peak twenties escapism, to loving Zara Larsson’s comeback and needing to be “in on” whatever show the internet is obsessing over, it’s a full deep dive into comfort culture. along the way, they talk celebrity sightings, influencer life, social media chaos, and the weird pressure of always being online.as always, the episode wraps with classic H & J shenanigans: procrastination confessions, friendship dynamics, hypothetical life questions, beauty honesty, and hot takes on cheating, botox, baby names, and becoming a “real” New Yorker. it’s funny, self-aware, slightly unhinged, and very much giving “two best friends talking on the couch about everything and nothing” (exactly how we like it).Timestamps0:18 - Stressed about sports4:10 - Finding the happy songs 14:45 - Bitching hour 19:00 - Procrastinator (kinda of) 30:50 - Losing at an award show 45:26 - Reality TV show dating More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz catch up after a chaotic start to the new year and talk about what it actually looks like to slow down without losing their minds. they unpack travel burnout, the pressure to always be on the move, and the realization that building your entire schedule around workout classes, waitlists, and cancellation fees might not be the healthiest lifestyle choice. from embracing solo gym time to treadmill editing and the ongoing Pilates discourse, the girls share what routines feel sustainable right now, and which ones quietly make life harder than it needs to be.as always, the episode naturally drifts into a classic B**ching Hour™️, covering the annoyances that shouldn’t matter but absolutely do. Halley vents about unnecessary rush fees and timing mishaps, while both girls spiral over delayed luggage, winter trips being impossible to pack for, and the stress of brand travel when your jacket is basically your entire outfit. they also talk about reading podcast comments, dealing with online opinions, and the mental balance of appreciating positive feedback without letting praise, or criticism, get too personal.the episode wraps with nostalgia that you probably will relate to as well, from teenage sleepovers, fake IDs, Four Lokos, and sneaking alcohol to the unmatched joy of girls’ nights before men became the center of everything. they touch on dogs, adoption realities, new hobbies that may or may not last, and the shared delusion that this year is somehow going to be the one. nothing groundbreaking, just a very real, very Halley & Jaz episode.Timestamps 0:40 - Intentional traveling 8:30 - Bitching hour 16:68 - Podcast comment section 33:41 - Jaz’s new hobby 40:15 - Our first drinks 54:46 - What is the most annoying quality anyone could have 56:24 - Hinge prompts See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

it’s the first episode of the year, and Halley and Jaz are ringing in 2026 exactly how they know best: overanalyzing everything, setting unrealistic resolutions, and spiraling (lovingly) through life updates. from the psychological power of a “new year, new me” mindset to seasonal depression, meds, wellness eras, and why January feels either elite or unbearable, the girls unpack how they’re approaching the year ahead: very differently.the episode flows through travel plans, brand trips, Rome itineraries, New Year’s hangovers, book obsessions, TV recs that may or may not ever be watched, and the internet drama everyone seems forced to have an opinion on. the girls sound off on influencer discourse, public scrutiny, relationships in the spotlight, and why sometimes it’s okay to simply not care.they also dive into relationship dynamics, wedding season thoughts, guest etiquette, bachelorette trip planning, and whether opposites really do attract. as always, the episode balances humor with honesty, proving once again that delusion, when paired with self-awareness, is actually a life skill. cozy up, welcome the new year, and let the spiral begin once again.Timestamps0:24 - 2026 Jaz 6:39 - New Years Eve11:57 - Online drama 30:50 - All things wedding 39:11 - Voice memos and facetime calls 46:42 - Cutting up a wedding dressLinks Apartments.com: apartments.com Progressive Insurance: progressive.comMore of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

it is New Year’s Eve, and in this episode of Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz catch up after a rough holiday stretch, unpacking everything from being violently sick with the flu to navigating grief, canceled plans, and the strange emotional whiplash that comes with the end of the year. they reflect on Christmas not going as expected, the loneliness that can creep in during downtime, and how loss puts everything into perspective, even when you don’t quite know what to say or feel.from there, the girls spiral into their classic b**ching hour, one last time for 2025: why shopping in Aritzia should be classified as an extreme sport, why sidewalk etiquette in New York is apparently a lost art, and the internet’s obsession with correcting women in relationships. they also get candid about online comments, ownership, boundaries, and why saying “we” doesn’t suddenly erase a woman’s independence or accomplishments.the episode wraps with a chaotic but heartfelt 2025 recap: favorite songs, trips, outfits, purchases, crash-outs, and milestones, along with reflections on female friendship, partnership vs. best friendship, and why having your person in different forms matters. we’re closing the year exactly as we lived it: honest, imperfect, and surrounded by the people who make it survivable. if this year humbled you, broke you open, or changed you forever, this episode is for you.Timestamps 0:23 - Jaz’s flu 8:06 - Bitching hour 16:01 - Is your husband your best friend?22:06 - Heated Rivalry 27:23 - Our 2025 wrapped 44:42 - 12 Grapes under the table More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

it’s Christmas, and here at Delusional Diaries, we’re not forcing a festive mood or pretending life magically slows down for the holidays. Halley and Jaz sit in the in-between space: post-travel, end-of-year, slightly exhausted, and talk through everything that didn’t go exactly as planned. from luxury trips that felt underwhelming, to honeymoons that turned out to be longer than needed, they unpack expectations versus reality and what it actually means to know yourself well enough to opt out.the conversation naturally drifts into internet chaos and strong opinions, covering viral pranks, influencer etiquette, filming in workout classes, and the exhausting double standards women are constantly navigating online. they also get honest about holiday logistics in relationships: doing holidays apart, family traditions, engagement pressure, and why choosing what works for you can feel uncomfortable but necessary this time of year.to close it out, the episode turns reflective without getting sentimental. the girls talk end-of-year wins, mental health growth, unexpected emotions around marriage and pregnancy tests, blocks of the week, friendship moments, and a fast-food sauce crusade that somehow feels like a small Christmas miracle. it’s messy, real, funny, and grounding, exactly the kind of episode you want on while the holiday noise dies down and you finally get a minute to breathe. Timestamps 0:21 - Happy to be back  5:28 - Jaz’s honeymoon 9:24 - Need to get this off my chest 15:06 - This year’s wins 24:35 - Block of the week 38:05 - Rude influencers 47:40 - Squishmellows and Wendy’s53:48 - Sleep schedules LinksChime: chime.com/diaries More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz sit down with Mel Robbins. Mel Robbins is a bestselling author, one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in the world, and the host of The Mel Robbins Podcast. She is known for translating complex psychological research into practical tools people can actually use, including the Five Second Rule, the High Five Habit, and the Let Them theory. Her work has helped millions build confidence, reduce anxiety, and take ownership of their lives through simple, science-backed strategies.The three are behind the mic for a grounded, honest conversation about emotional regulation, boundaries, and what it actually takes to reclaim your sense of control. Mel breaks down the thinking behind her Let Them theory and explains why so much of our stress comes from trying to manage other people’s emotions, reactions, and expectations.Together, they explore how letting go of control doesn’t mean indifference, it means responsibility. Mel shares practical tools for handling anxiety, navigating conflict without self-abandonment, and responding to emotional triggers with clarity instead of impulse. The conversation moves beyond surface-level self-help and into the real work of tolerating discomfort, sitting with difficult emotions, and choosing responses that align with your values.This episode is for anyone who feels emotionally drained, overly reactive, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. It’s a reminder that peace isn’t passive… it’s built through awareness, boundaries, and the decision to take your power back, one moment at a time.Timestamps 0:16 - This week’s guest 4:47 - How we Let Them 12:41 - Acting on emotions16:53 - Mel’s challenge for everyone30:34 - Do you want advice or do you want me to keep listening? 35:51 - Mom and daughter dynamics 44:58 - Fighting in relationships More of Mel Robbins:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melrobbins/Website: https://www.melrobbins.com/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melrobbinsBuy The Let Them Theory here: https://www.melrobbins.com/book/the-let-them-theory/More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/LinksClearstem: clearstem.com/delusional and use code delusional for 15% off your first order See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
