17 Nov 2025
Ali Riley is back, and this week she’s joined by content creator, author, and certified internet Carrie Bradshaw, Eli Rallo. Eli is the bestselling author of Does Anyone Else Feel This Way?—and is bringing all her candid, hilarious, and heartfelt takes on relationships, adulthood, and self-growth. From the spontaneous jar video that launched her career to her book-writing success, Eli has become a voice for anyone trying to decode the chaos of growing up. In this episode, Ali and Eli get into everything about the pressure cooker of being a creator, setting boundaries when the internet gets too close, the power of journaling, and what adulthood really feels like in your 20s and 30s. Plus, Eli shares her elite hotel bar wisdom and gives the real talk on wedding guest lists and plus ones. New episodes of BFFR drop every Monday!
