		<description>Spill the Tea Unfiltered is a raw, honest podcast born from a story neither host could have made up if they tried.

Lauren was married. Amber thought she was starting something new. Neither woman knew they were connected… until one suspicious charge, two pre-purchased movie tickets, and a gut feeling Lauren couldn’t ignore led her straight to a movie theater—where she came face-to-face with the woman her husband was dating.

That woman was Amber.

What could have turned into blame, anger, or silence became something neither of them expected… truth, friendship, healing, and eventually, a microphone.

Now hosted by Lauren and Amber, Spill the Tea Unfiltered turns heartbreak into healing, red flags into reality checks, and hard lessons into conversations women everywhere need to hear. From love bombing, gaslighting, betrayal, divorce, and starting over to boundaries, self-worth, dating, and learning to trust your intuition again… nothing is off-limits.

With humor, honesty, and zero sugarcoating, Lauren and Amber sip, spill, and serve the kind of conversations that make you laugh, think, heal, and maybe text your best friend, “Okay… you need to hear this.”

Because peace, healing, and choosing yourself will always be worth it. ☕🔥</description>

They also revisit a story from a previous episode, “The Parasite,” with an update directly from the listener who originally shared it. Thankfully, the latest chapter brings some much-needed positivity and a truly uplifting outcome.

We love when a story takes an unexpected turn for the better, and this episode is a reminder that even when things feel dark, there is always room for hope. With perseverance, hard work, and a little faith in the process, life can sometimes turn out even better than you imagined.

	<description><![CDATA[In this week’s episode, Lauren and Amber discuss the serious and deeply troubling topic of human trafficking. Due to the sensitive nature of this subject matter, listener discretion is strongly advised. If discussions of human trafficking may negatively impact your mental health or well-being, we encourage you to skip this episode.

Lauren recently attended a Human Trafficking Conference hosted by Fortify Alabama, where she gained valuable insight into the realities of human trafficking and ways families can better protect themselves. In this episode, Lauren shares important information for parents, including apps that are being used in harmful and deceptive ways, symbols to be aware of, and key statistics surrounding human trafficking.

While this is a difficult and disturbing topic, this episode is intended to educate, raise awareness, and equip families with information that may help them recognize potential warning signs and better protect their loved ones.

We encourage you to tune in, if you feel comfortable doing so, for this important and informative conversation.

	<description><![CDATA[In this week’s episode, Lauren and Amber discuss loss and the unique challenges that come with losing someone your own age. They then dive into this week’s story: toxic mothers.

After a friend of Lauren’s mother sends her a text, the situation quickly spirals, leading to a deeper conversation about boundaries and the challenges that can arise when parents refuse to respect them. Lauren and Amber explore the importance of recognizing that being someone’s parent, or sharing the same blood, does not excuse toxic or harmful behavior.

At the end of the day, relationships should not leave you feeling constantly drained, hurt, or diminished. When a relationship becomes harmful to your well-being, it may be time to establish firm boundaries or, when necessary, walk away.

	<description><![CDATA[In this week's episode, Lauren and Amber sit down with Licensed Professional Counselor Suzanne Fortnum to discuss what healthy dating looks like in 2026. Suzanne explores the paradox of having more access to potential partners than ever before while many people report feeling increasingly disconnected.

A key takeaway from the conversation is the importance of building a life you genuinely enjoy—one that isn't centered around finding or keeping a romantic partner. Suzanne emphasizes that healthy relationships are built from a foundation of personal fulfillment and emotional well-being.

The episode also encourages listeners to approach dating with curiosity rather than fantasy. Instead of asking, "Could this be my person?" Suzanne suggests asking, "Who is this person?" Shifting your mindset in this way can help foster more authentic connections and healthier relationships.

Whether you're actively dating or simply interested in developing healthier relationship habits, this episode offers thoughtful insights and practical advice you won't want to miss.

	<description><![CDATA[In this week’s episode, Lauren and Amber recap their night at a Sleep Theory concert and gush over their newest obsession: lead singer Cullen Moore.

The conversation then takes a turn as they react to a viral Instagram reel featuring a man who told a woman she would have to “obey his rules” in order to earn a second date with him. His list of demands included no alcohol, no girls’ nights without permission, and full access to her phone. Lauren and Amber break down the controlling behavior, the massive red flags, and the audacity behind expecting a woman to submit to those kinds of rules for a second date.

Later in the episode, they dive into their first-ever submitted LGBTQ+ listener story — and it is absolutely chaotic. A woman discovers her partner cheated on her with the wife of the DJ from their wedding. In an even more shocking twist, the now ex-wife had actually moved the couple into their home under the guise of “helping” them, all while secretly carrying on the affair. The story unfolds into a heartbreaking mix of betrayal, manipulation, and financial, emotional, and physical abuse.

This episode is packed with chaos, strong opinions, and one unbelievable story you won’t want to miss.

	<description><![CDATA[In this week’s episode, Lauren and Amber catch up on life, workouts, and Amber’s possible journey into becoming a runner. The conversation then shifts to a reel they posted that sparked a lot of heated reactions about rape culture and the way women and girls are taught safety precautions that men and boys are rarely expected to learn. After receiving backlash from both men and women claiming rape culture “doesn’t exist,” Lauren and Amber dive into why that mindset is so harmful and out of touch with reality.

Later in the episode, they share a heartbreaking listener story — and for the first time, it comes from a male listener. He opens up about discovering his wife’s long-term affair with a man who had also molested his daughter. In an even more shocking twist, his ex-wife eventually married the man. It’s a devastating, emotional, and unbelievable story that you won’t want to miss.

	<description><![CDATA[In this week’s episode, Lauren and Amber discuss a viral reel featuring a woman distancing herself from feminism before quickly backpedaling, sparking a deeper conversation about societal expectations placed on women. The episode then shifts into Lauren’s personal story as she opens up about her first long-term relationship with her high school sweetheart — a seven-year relationship marked by infidelity, emotional manipulation, physical and emotional abuse, and addiction.

Lauren shares how religious trauma and beliefs surrounding purity and virginity convinced her she had to stay in the relationship despite the toxicity. She also reflects honestly on how the unhealthy dynamic impacted her own behavior and emotional responses during that time. Through years of therapy and healing, Lauren was able to process the trauma and better understand how those early experiences shaped future relationships, including her marriage and the challenges that followed.

Tune in for a vulnerable and honest conversation about toxic first loves, trauma bonds, healing, and why real-life relationships often look very different from the romanticized versions we see in movies.

	<description><![CDATA[In this week’s episode, Lauren and Amber sit down with Licensed Professional Counselor Suzanne Fortnum to explore why not being chosen can feel so deeply personal. Together, they unpack the internal shift toward self-blame and how we often interpret someone else’s inconsistency as a reflection of our own worth. The conversation dives into how being chosen can feel like validation rather than genuine connection—and how that mindset can lead us into unhealthy relationships. Suzanne also highlights the trap of “earning” love, explaining that the moment you begin striving for someone’s consistency or affection, you may already be abandoning yourself. Tune in for an insightful and eye-opening discussion you won’t want to miss.
