Lilly Wehman and Amelia Abernathy use the Summer House Season 10 drama to talk about self-worth, friendship breakups, and what happens when someone moves from one relationship into the next without slowing down. They look at Ciara, Amanda, West, and Kyle through a therapist lens without trying to diagnose anyone.
The conversation moves through staying friends with exes, wanting to be the “cool girl,” the pain of being hurt by a close friend, and the difference between finding your spark through someone else versus rebuilding it for yourself.
