REGARDLESS

REAL DROP 08:

“Once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it. And I’ve never felt more free and more alive.”

Meet Bianca, content creator, model, photographer & wellness instructor and she’s done keeping up with comp het.

For years, she lived the version of life she thought she should: married young, doing everything “right,” until she realized she was living for approval, not truth.

In this drop, Skylar & Bianca unpack compulsory heterosexuality: the quiet system that conditions women to assume they’re straight, even when they’re not.

REAL DROP 05:

Meet Kate. Founder of Off The Record: a pocket-sized game designed to spark real conversation.

And she’s done keeping up with the Insta friend.

We’re living in the era of instant gratification.
Instagram. Instacart. Instant validation.

And yup, it’s messing with how we form REAL relationships.

In this drop, Skylar + Kate get honest about the rise of performative friendship, the pressure to look like you have so many besties, and why it’s okay if your circle is small but real.

Because...

Meet Hannah Ryu. Tech strategist. Co-founder of Oak Theory. And she’s done keeping up with the speed of AI. With the pressure to keep producing. To keep performing like a machine. To keep chasing productivity over presence. In this real drop, Skylar and Hannah dive into the conversation most people are afraid to have: How do we use AI as a tool, to be more human, not less? REGARDLESS of what the algorithm says you should be... Being messy, slow, and imperfect? That’s what makes you real. Because being real? It’s not a trend. It’s a rebellio...

REAL DROP 03: 

Meet Romy Schorr. 57 years old.
Midlife influencer with over 135k on Insta. 

Aging on her own terms and not trying to keep up with looking younger.

In this real drop, Romy joins Skylar and Linda (her college bestie) for a multigenerational conversation on aging rebelliously.

This isn’t about fighting time.
It’s about aging your way: owning your face, your presence, your story.
REGARDLESS of what the world says you should look like.

Because being real?
It’s not a trend.
It’s a r...

REAL DROP 02:

Meet your host, Skylar. 27 years old. She’s done keeping up.

Meet Linda. Licensed therapist. 58. Skylar’s mom and her guest host. She’s done keeping up too.

With being the good girl.

With diet culture.

With keeping pace with her 27-year-old daughter.

With putting herself last.

This multigenerational drop starts with Skylar & Linda breaking the ice with Hasbro’s Truth or Drink. From there, they unpack the pressure to be perfect and what it really means to say no to keeping up, and yes...

REAL DROP 01: Meet your host, Skylar. 27 years old. She’s done keeping up. With influencer culture. With the pressure to get lip filler. With finding “the one.” With hitting 10k steps. With keeping up with every “what I eat in a day.” In this first drop, Skylar gets honest about what it really feels like to keep up and why choosing to be real, REGARDLESS, might be the most rebellious thing you ever do. Because being real? It’s not a trend. It’s a rebellion.

skylar and her mom, linda (aka everyone’s favorite therapist), took a road trip to joshua tree to visit hometown friend kylie mccarthy, who—casually—just built her own resort: little pipes.yep. that part. and of course, her mom came too—stacy mccarthy, yoga icon, wellness educator, and one of the OGs of mindful influence before it was trending.

what followed? a multigenerational, no-topic-off-limits heart-to-heart between two daughters and their two moms. and it’s everything you didn’t know you needed.

this episode feels like sitting on the floor of your best friend’s bedroom at m...

some friends are getting engaged. others are having babies. meanwhile, skylar & her roomie shae are recording a podcast in wedding dresses — manifesting their future husbands. in this special episode, they reflect on the heartbreaks, the healing, and the hope for love that actually feels right. regardless of being single, they talk about what they’ve learned from their past relationships, what they want moving forward, and why being single might be the biggest gift of all.

from four years of manifesting to a billboard in times square, REGARDLESS officially lands in new york. in this special multigenerational episode, skylar and her therapist mom, linda, are joined by emmie levy — founder of the emmie effect, a platform helping young adults activate their confidence, build self-worth, and manifest the life they actually want.

this episode unpacks the silent power behind every dream: your energy.

• how the energy you carry influences every room you enter

• how to stay magnetic — regardless of the doubt, delays, or noise

• and how to turn your energ...

buckle up. this episode is not for the faint of heart. today, we’re diving headfirst into the messy world of burnout — the kind that doesn’t just drain your energy, but makes you question everything.

skylar sits down with elizabeth rosenberg — marketing exec turned intuitive medium (yep, you read that right) — to unpack what happens when hustle culture goes from “girl boss” to “girl, bye.”

what you’ll learn:
– why burnout isn’t just for people who hate their jobs
– how type A girlies are secretly self-destructing
– the real signs your body is sending an SOS

from laid off to billboard in times square (?!): the real behind-the-scenes of our new york trip. this one’s raw lol. i wasn’t even planning to record—but sitting in the studio, fresh off my nyc trip, i knew i had to hit "record" and let you in.

in this solo episode, i’m walking you through one of the wildest full-circle moments of my career—going from pitching influencer campaigns… to being the face of them. but let’s be real: it wasn’t all lights and glam. i talk about the contrast—the breakdowns, the doubts, the “am...

trigger warning: this episode includes discussions around body image, beauty standards, and societal pressure.

in honor of mother’s day, i invited my mom—who also happens to be a therapist—into the studio for one of the most raw and unfiltered conversations we’ve ever had on regardless. after one of our reels on beauty standards went viral and was even picked up by newsweek, we knew we had to go de...

not only are we one of the founding + featured creators to help Linktree launching Kajabi courses into the world… but we even landed on a billboard in Times Square (still freaking out).

to celebrate, we invited the Linktree team into our studio to tell you the full behind-the-scenes story.

REGARDLESS has always been more than just a podcast — she’s a mindset, a movement, a way of pivoting. and now, she’s officially a course designed to help you pivot into your next chapter with realness, confiden...

WE TURN 100 TODAY! 🎂⚡

first off, a massive thank you to YOU — our listeners, our guests, my mama therapist, and all the brand partners who’ve believed in us. we wouldn’t be here without you.

it’s so hard to know if you’re making the right decision. and honestly — even harder to fully trust yourself once you do. this question haunts me.

we live in a world where it feels like everyone has an opinion. the noise is non-stop — parents, friends, social media, society. so how do you even know if you’re making a decision...

what’s it actually like to turn 30? not the curated instagram version — the real, raw shift AND shit no one prepares you for.

this week on REGARDLESS, i’m joined by one of my first expanders: ayesha sehra — founder of grow the social + coffee & a good vibe.

three years ago, i was working a corporate job, attending one of her live podcast events alone, introducing myself to wellness brands, and staring at ayesha thinking, “i want to do what she’s doing.”

now, she’s sitting in the regardless studio with me — not just as a guest, b...

what if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you say you want… is you?

this week on regardless, we’re getting real about the anxiety that hits the second your alarm goes off. the pressure to "build your dream life" while secretly dreading your monday through friday. the non-stop loop of do more, be more, achieve more—with zero space to actually enjoy what you’re creating.

i used to think i was stuck in a corporate prison… but it turns out, i was stuck in a mental one. living in a constant s...

burnout babes, this one’s for us. bc let's be real burnout is REAAAAL. 

but first—big news. we just launched REGARDLESS support. if you’ve ever wanted more support than just a podcast—if you need in real time guidance, tools & hype to move forward regardless of what might be holding you back, i’m just a call away & offering free consultation calls for my listeners (bc every girl deserves a personal hype woman).

what if confidence wasn’t just about how you look but how you feel—inside and out? what if true wellness meant honoring both your skin and your spirit?

this week, i sat down with dr. felice chan & heather chan, sisters & founders of moonbow, a skincare brand blending traditional chinese medicine (TCM) with modern beauty. we got into the real side of wellness—why they left behind old careers, how they built a brand rooted in balance, and why ancient rituals might just be the secret to feeling your best.

⚡️ what if skincare was more than just...

ever meet a woman and feel like you’ve known her forever? no words needed — just tears.

in honor of international women's month, i sit down with my new friend, dr. lisa tan. we first met at an emmy's party, and regardless of all the glitz and noise surrounding us, we instantly connected. when she told me her daughter’s name was also skylar, i lost it. we both teared up — total strangers, yet with an undeniable understanding. that “i see you, i got you” moment — we’ve all had it.

before this, i never thought i’d fall in love with data, but this tool helped me decode why i do what i do, how to communic...

the word regardless changed my life and today I’m sharing exactly why and how it all started. 

regardless is WAY more than just the name of my podcast. regardless is a mantra, a lifestyle, a rebellion, and a way of life. I used the word regardless to guide me through my 20s and each difficult transition that went with it. regardless is a way of life that i knew i needed to share and is what inspired me to start this podcast. and what continues to inspire me to grow this platform. speaking of which… I HAVE...

hello my loves. to get right into it, this week’s episode of regardless is a total eye-opener. our guest is palak dave, founder of embiria and author of beautiful everydays. palak’s entire career revolves around living in the now—something we’ve subconsciously forgotten how to do in today’s digital world, and especially after living through a global pandemic. from dating apps to sharing every aspect of our lives on social media, we rarely take a step back to reflect on how technology shapes our relationships and experiences. but what if we did? what if we became mor...

hey guys… happy valentine’s day… or maybe not-so-happy valentine’s day. i think we can all agree that, relationship or not, valentine’s day kinda sucks. there’s a lot of pressure surrounding it—whether it’s having the perfect date, the perfect sex life, the perfect boyfriend or girlfriend, the perfect gift, and so on.

as most of you know, valentine’s day feels a little different for me this year since i’m going through a breakup. but, that’s not what i want this episode to be about. i have more energy to pour into creative pro...

layoffs, breakups & now our city is on fire. i didn’t think things could get worse—but they did. it feels like we’re back in the chaos of covid, except now the air is thick with smoke, and my lease is up. i’ve never felt more untethered.

today, I sit down with the founders of Good Girl Snacks to talk about the real story behind their success and how they’ve navigated the challenges of being young female entrepreneurs in a world full of judgment. from overcoming online hate to proving that forbes 30 under 30 isn’t about daddy’s money—it’s about hustle, vision, and resilience.

as an entrepreneur who's experienced the same judgment and hate comments online, this conversation hits deep.

I’m heartbroken, broke & not feeling jolly at all. The thought of buying presents or listening to Christmas music? Yeah, not on brand for me right now. The one thing I needed to feel even a little better was to come home—to be with my mom & fam. So, grab a seat at a typical evening happy hour with my mama therapist & I ...we have A LOT to p...

So it seems like there may have been a slight *miscommunication* at our last Regardless in Real Time Event on all things dating, love, and sex in LA about some key takeaways… But we’re so grateful to hear about this misunderstanding because now we can clarify exactly what we meant!

POV: The waiter makes his way to you and asks, “And for you?” You have to act fast. Do you convince your best friend to go half-and-half with her entree? Do you ask the waiter which is his favorite dish? Do you say one thing, and then change your mind? Or, do you actually know what you want? 

Confidence (or lack thereof) can manifest in many ways– even in something as simple as ordering food at a restaurant. There’s actually a pretty clear connection between decisiveness, ego, and confidence.

So you finally got the courage to go to a “networking event”-- first you listen to a panel, then have some light bites during a happy hour while schmoozing, etc. While there, you even mustered up enough courage to go up to someone who was on the panel.

Do you consider yourself a “wellness girly”?

News flash: you don’t have to be either a “wellness girly” OR a “corporate girly.” You can actually be whatever girly you want to be. You can go for a morning walk on only Sundays, drink matcha some day...
