Getting Blunt

In this raw and real episode of Getting Blunt, Leilani Raine is joined by her 15-year-old little sister for a trip down memory lane—though things don't exactly go as planned. With good intentions, they set out to reminisce about the "good old days" but end up laughing, cringing, and almost crying at the chaotic and traumatic moments that defined their childhood. From home break-ins to near-homelessness, horrible step-parents, and the wild experience of having random roommates in their rooms, nothing is off-limits. It’s dark, it’s messy, but it’s also strangely hilarious—because who knew trauma could have a punchline? Tune in for an honest, unapologetic conversation full of humor, healing, and some serious sisterly love.

In this episode of Getting Blunt with Leilani Raine, Leilani gets real about her very interesting (and, let’s be honest, sometimes soul-crushing) dating history. Spoiler alert: she's been cheated on in every single one of her past relationships. Yep, you read that right. But instead of letting betrayal break her, Leilani dives into how she picked up the pieces, learned to love again, and (shockingly) still believes in the possibility of love. She’s talking about the wild ride of re-entering the dating scene—because who wouldn’t want to dive back into that emotional rollercoaster? But this time, she’s got a new perspective and a clearer vision of what she actually wants from a relationship. Tune in for a mix of humor, healing, and some honest truths about the highs and lows of love. So grab your headphones, your favorite drink, and join Leilani as she gets blunt about love, loss, and how to keep your head high even when dating feels like a mess.

It’s been a wild ride in 2024, and Leilani Raine is here to break it all down with a mix of laughter, vulnerability, and a few oh no moments! In this special episode of Getting Blunt, Leilani takes you behind the scenes of her year — from the triumphs that made her want to shout from the rooftops, to the facepalm-worthy fails that kept her humble. Get the inside scoop on what went right, what went wrong, and the unexpected moments that made it all worth it. Whether it’s a cringe-worthy misstep or an unexpected win, Leilani leaves no stone unturned. If you’ve ever had a year where you couldn’t tell whether you were winning or learning, this episode is for you! So grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and join Leilani for the rollercoaster of 2024. Trust us, you won’t want to miss it.
