Get Real -w- Caroline Hobby

“If You Don’t Like This I Will Die” by Lee Tilghman is a raw, eye-opening look into the dark side of online validation and self-image. Once known for her perfectly curated wellness persona, Lee found herself consumed by her social media presence—obsessing over how she looked, what she posted, and how others perceived her, all while her mental and emotional health were quietly falling apart. In this powerful memoir, she pulls back the curtain on the burnout, anxiety, and identity crisis that came with chasing digital perfection, and shares how stepping away from the noise allowed her to rebuild her health, reconnect with herself, and create a grounded, authentic relationship with social media.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kelly shares how she learned that her true soulmate was herself all along, and how she’s now helping other women break free from patterns, heal from within, and step into their most authentic, confident selves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ryan & Rory are one of country’s most exciting new duos. Ryan Follesé first broke out as the lead singer of Hot Chelle Rae with the global hit “Tonight, Tonight.” Though he found success in pop, the son of two legendary Nashville songwriters always felt pulled back to country. He found his perfect match in Rory, a powerhouse vocalist and multi-instrumentalist who cut his teeth at the Myrtle Beach Opry playing 300 shows a year. Broken Bow signed them on the spot, and the duo released their self-titled EP last summer. They’ve since dropped more singles like Them Boots, Truck Stop, and Together Again with Jamey Johnson—who rarely collaborates, but declared, “If I were a gambler, I’d bet it all on these two.” With millions of streams, a Grand Ole Opry debut, and undeniable chemistry, Ryan & Rory are just getting started. Their new song “Girls are Pretty” drops Friday!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
