REPORT #47: Your Anxiety Isn’t Coming from You. It’s Coming from Your Feed
+ It’s time for you to redownload Bumble
It’s May, which means it’s Mental Health Awareness Month.
And when I think about my mental health, I think about what makes me anxious. Nine times out of ten, it’s my phone. It’s the scrolling. It’s the subconscious comparisons: she’s prettier, thinner, in a better outfit, on a better vacation, in a nicer apartment. It’s not even intentional. It just seeps in.
So here’s my advice: if you’re not feeling good, get the fuck outside. Ground your feet into the sidewalk or the sand. Touch some grass. Take a breath. Put your phone down. I know it sounds basic, but it’s a game changer.
At the end of the day, you’re a horse in a race. You need blinders. You need focus. You need to live your life, not absorb every iced matcha thought spiral from your former boss’s Instagram story.
And if that doesn’t help… this giveaway will ;) I’m picking one of you the receive all the below and MORE. All you have to do is answer the question in the chat <3
LISTENING: Whitney Wolfe Herd is back at Bumble, and in this week’s episode of The Interview from The New York Times, she outlines a more evolved future for dating apps—one where AI isn’t just helping you find someone who likes the same restaurants, but someone who shares your values. According to Whitney, values are often the only thing that long-term couples truly have in common. That’s what sustains a relationship—not matching outfits or mutual Spotify playlists.

She also talks about using AI in a really smart way: by learning from real couples in therapy. Think about it—feeding in anonymized data from those conversations to identify patterns, solutions, and emotional dynamics that actually work, then using that insight to help people find partners with real compatibility. I’ve always said dating shouldn’t be about Build-A-Bearing a guy with a laundry list of traits. What matters is alignment—sexual chemistry, ambition, emotional depth, shared worldview. If AI can help surface that sooner? I’m listening.
PROUD OF: I can’t stop thinking about the Older, Hotter, Wiser theme song. It’s so special—not just because it slaps (it does), but because it was made by my former assistant, MK Fullerton, who moved to LA to become a singer-songwriter. Getting to reunite and create something together for this show was one of those rare full-circle moments that genuinely makes you pause.
MK was the one backstage with me during my live shows—literally zipping up my outfits, adjusting my mic, helping me pull it all off. And now she’s on the stage, becoming the artist she’s always wanted to be. Watching her step into that is surreal and deeply inspiring.
We both took big risks in different ways. I left a steady job to build my own thing. She left New York to chase a dream. And now here we are—two women who believed in themselves enough to bet on it, making something beautiful together. It’s not lost on me how rare that is. How powerful it is to collaborate with someone who saw the grind up close, and then had the courage to follow their own path too.
This song isn’t just the opening of the show. It’s the soundtrack to what happens when you trust your gut, block out the noise, and go for it….
Stream our song and follow MK!
OBSESSED:
This is the lipgloss I’m wearing in the trailer of Older Hotter Wiser!
I got a facial at Sophie Pavitt for the first time and left with this facial spray, which is great for rosacea and acne prone skin.
This food topper has been a saving grace while trying to get Pancho to enjoy kibble (lol).
I gave this to my mom for Mother's Day and she's not only obsessed with the scent but the look of the dispenser is also sooooo chic.
I went to Miami a couple weeks ago and I got sunburnt so bad! This aloe gel gave my skin the hydration it needed (and reminded me to get spray tans from now on.) Use my code: SERENA15.
It has taken everything in me not to purchase this bag, but you should.
My favorite necklace and everyone thinks the diamonds are real!
The softest blanket I’ve ever touched.
My stylist turned best friend, Coco, gifted me these when she heard about my book launch and it may be my favorite gift ever.
Felix and I are addicted to the scent of this body wash.
STREAMING: American Nightmare. The Tinder Swindler. Murdaugh Murders. Netflix knows how to tell a crime story—and A Deadly American Marriage is no exception. I went in knowing nothing about the case (even though it’s been covered endlessly across platforms and continents), and within minutes, I was fully locked in. The film weaves between the crime, the relationship, and the current legal battle with just enough ambiguity to keep you questioning everything. I won’t spoil it, but it’s a gripping 90 minutes that leaves you wondering who you really believe—and why.
