When Life Gives You Red Flags, Start a Podcast.
From Betrayal to Besties—Now, We’re Spillin’ It All!
It all started with a DM that no woman ever wants to get.
Lauren’s (now-ex) husband slid into Bree’s messages, asking her out on a date. But Bree had been through enough toxic relationships to know better—so she did what any modern woman would do: she checked the receipts. A quick scroll through a local red-flag warning group revealed more than she bargained for. Not only was this guy very much married, but he had a track record of infidelity.
Instead of a confrontation, Bree did something unexpected. She reached out to Lauren.
Rather than letting a cheater define their narrative, these two incredible women met up, grabbed a drink, and started talking. What began as a night of shared frustration turned into a deep friendship, built on honesty, laughter, and (of course) some seriously good tea.
Now, they’re spilling it all—the wild stories, the jaw-dropping drama, the red flags, the lessons learned, and the real conversations that women everywhere need to hear.
Welcome to Spill the Tea HSV—where we take life’s messiest moments and turn them into something powerful.
☕ Buckle up, because this tea is HOT.
Meet Lauren
Lauren grew up in the breathtaking mountains of North Carolina, dreaming big and chasing success. When she landed her “dream job” in Washington, DC, she thought she had it all—until reality slapped her in the face. DC life wasn’t it, so when an opportunity to relocate to Huntsville, AL, popped up, she packed her bags and never looked back.
Then came him. The guy who seemed like the one—until she found out he was nothing more than a walking red flag factory. Turns out, he’d been using her from day one, and she didn’t uncover the full betrayal until a year into their marriage. Plot twist? That heartbreak didn’t break her. Instead, she took that mess and turned it into a movement.
Cue Spill the Tea HSV—the podcast where women sip, spill, and serve up hard-earned wisdom about love, lies, and lessons learned the hard way. Because if Lauren can help even one woman spot the red flags she missed, then honey, it was all worth it.
Meet Bree
Bree, 35, is a North Alabama native who grew up surrounded by Southern values and charm. Like many, she once believed her first marriage would be her only—until life had other plans. After navigating three divorces and multiple miscarriages, she is now embracing a new chapter, stepping into a life that is entirely her own.
As a single dog mom, Bree is cautiously re-entering the dating world, taking things one step at a time. She firmly believes that at every stage of life, everyone is healing from something, and this phase has been both her most transformative and most challenging yet.
Having experienced betrayal, dishonesty, and attachment struggles in past relationships, Bree is passionate about empowering women with the knowledge to recognize red flags before they become entangled in toxic relationships. Through her journey, she hopes to inspire others to prioritize self-awareness, healing, and ultimately, their own happiness.
Episode 1: The First Pour
No More Richards
Buckle up, because this is the tea you didn’t know you needed.
Lauren’s world came crashing down when she uncovered the truth: she had been manipulated for money, lied to, and betrayed throughout her entire relationship. What she thought was love turned out to be a masterclass in deception—but instead of breaking her, it lit a fire.
The lesson? No more Dicks. No more games. No more BS.
Hit play & grab your tea—this one’s unmissable.
