What happens when marrying for love wasn’t the point, but marrying for money definitely was? In this episode, Kaylee dives into the fascinating (and sometimes scandalous) history of “Dollar Princesses” — the wealthy American women of the Gilded Age who crossed the Atlantic to trade fortunes for aristocratic titles. Think Downton Abbey meets Succession, with a dash of modern side-eye.

Kaylee unpacks the cultural drama behind these transatlantic marriages: who benefitted, who got swindled, and how this age-old tradition of money-for-status still echoes in today’s relationships, celebrity pairings, and influencer “soft launches.” And of course, she spices it up with her own brand of wit, pettiness, and unapologetic hot takes.

If you’ve ever wondered whether romance can survive when the checkbook enters the chat, this one’s for you.

This week, Kaylee is leaning all the way into the art of doing the right thing—even when it’s the hardest thing. From standing up for yourself to refusing to shrink down to what’s “expected,” she’s bringing receipts from some of history’s baddest women. We’re talking Wu Zetian, the only woman to rule China as emperor; Julie D’Aubigny, the swashbuckling, scandal-starting opera singer with a sword; and Nancy Wake, the spy who made the Nazis sweat. These women didn’t just play the game—they flipped the board, set it on fire, and dared anyone to tell them no.

Listen in for a reminder that being a badass doesn’t mean being fearless—it means being brave enough to do it anyway.

Kaylee kicks off this self-titled episode by sharing the mic with her book club buddy Amanda — a wedding photographer, long-time Indianapolis resident, and fellow book enthusiast. They spill on everything from Bunny by Mona Awad to The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han, Verity by Colleen Hoover, and the works of R.F. Kuang, Rachel Yoder, Gillian Flynn, Taylor Jenkins Reid, and more.

Between dragging AI for being so wrong (like, embarrassingly wrong) and playing a world-saving round of Sip It or Spill It, they ask the hard-hitting questions no one else will: What should only be for the girls? And which celeb has truly done more for bisexuals?

It’s unhinged, it’s bookish, it’s a little chaotic—but hey, so are we. Welcome to Sorry I’m a B*tch.
