Delusional Diaries

• from then, to now ft. Eli Rallo

  This week, Halley and Jaz are back behind the mic, but they’re not alone. If you’ve been rocking with Delusional Diaries since the early days, you already know her (and probably love her). And if you don’t… allow us to introduce: Eli Rallo. Writer, content creator, podcast host, professional rule-maker, and queen of saying exactly what we’re all thinking. Eli first blew up on TikTok with her iconic “the jarr” videos, and since then she’s built a ride-or-die community obsessed with her mix of humor, honesty, and that big sister who tells it like it is energy. Oh, and casual flex, she’s already the author of two books with a third on the way.From reminiscing about their “freshman class” days in the New York influencer scene to catching up on weddings, book tours, and everything in between, this episode feels like a full-circle moment. The trio dives into the realities of growing up online, from cringing at old videos to learning to feel confident in your late 20s. They also swap stories about early event-hopping nights, the evolution of their careers, and the misconceptions people have about friendship changes. Of course, there’s plenty of wedding talk, Taylor Swift engagement theories, and the sacred art of being perfectly “wedding drunk.”Eli opens up about writing her second book, the emotional process behind it, and the exciting leap into fiction with her upcoming third. It’s an episode filled with nostalgia, laughter, and honesty, proof that every era of life brings its own kind of magic. If you missed her, it’s time to catch up. If you’re new, you’re about to fall in love. Either way — this episode is one for the books.Timestamps 0:14 - The OG Podcast Guest 6:51 - All things Taylor 12:47 - Eli’s & Jaz’s weddings34:39 - Travel & TikTok37:51 - Book talk 43:48 - The Kardashians 47:58 - Eli’s Bachelorette51:20 - Favorite part about the book Where to find EliInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/eli.rallo?igsh=MTY1MTYxaHMxN2s3Zw==TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@elirallo?_t=ZP-8zkU7bE1uso&_r=1Purchase Does Anyone Else Feel This Way? now!https://www.harpercollins.com/products/does-anyone-else-feel-this-way-eli-rallo?variant=43671983816738 Tickets for Eli’s book tour: https://www.theelirallo.com/does-anyone-else-feel-this-wayLinks Quince: quince.com/delusional for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

• you’ve changed (and that’s okay)

  this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz kick things off with a hilarious deep dive into Halley’s ongoing coffee conspiracy. After her viral latte video, she’s convinced her local shop is purposely sabotaging her order: burnt espresso, missing flavors, the works. from Uber Eats hacks to wondering if the baristas secretly hate her, it’s a full caffeine-fueled saga that sets the tone for the episode’s blend of comedy and chaos.the conversation spirals into astrology, creative burnout, and a bit of a look into the realities of influencer life. the girls get real about how nonstop travel, brand deals, and constant pressure to create can drain inspiration, while also reflecting on how much their lives have evolved since they started. they open up about balancing relationships, fighting scarcity mindsets, and handling criticism from people who say they’ve “changed.” it’s like something inbetween a vent session and candid insight into what it’s really like behind the curated feeds.to wrap things up, they switch gears with nostalgic back-to-school memories, playground favorites, and even the rise and fall of silly bandz and Webkinz. plus, they answer a listener dilemma about guy best friends crossing the line and imagine the ultimate “day from hell” itinerary in New York City. from childhood flashbacks to savage hypotheticals, this episode is messy, unfiltered, and oh-so Delusional Diaries.Timestamps 0:24 - Salted Tahini Latte Drama3:52 - Our August Horoscopes, busy lives, and thoughts on influencer marketing 21:56 - Back to school 34:57 - SillyBandz & our favorite trends from school41:46 - A question from our listener 43:04 - A NYC day from Hell See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
