Where Does Confidence Come From?

About this episode

Nayeema sits down with Serena Kerrigan, who left a salaried job and a self-described “Nepo Baby Lite" lifestyle to become an influencer (slash "icon"). Six years later, she’s built an empire: an IG live show that led to a TV deal with Peacock, card games, merch and a new book, "Let's F*cking Date". The secret to her success? Confidence. Nayeema and Serena discuss how a mirror can make you an icon, why egg-freezing can change your mindset, and what modern feminism looks like in a world where we want men to pay … but also let us be. Also on the agenda: dating younger (hi cougars), age gaps, wealth gaps and some romantic advice for people who love to be clean. Send us your “dumb questions” on IG/TikTok @smartgirldumbquestions or by calling 1-855-MyDumbQ. Make sure you’re following Nayeema and the show on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. And obvi: SHARE THE SHOW WITH YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR GROUP CHAT, YOUR MOM, YOUR EX, and anyone who has ever wondered whether they’re dating the wrong person. Learn more about your ad choices.
