Alissa DeRogatis is a writer and published author whose debut novel, Call It What You Want, started as a way to process a situationship and ended up going viral on TikTok. With her second book, How to Find Love in the Cereal Aisle, out now, Alissa has built a community of women who feel seen by her willingness to share the messy, unfiltered parts of dating, heartbreak, and figuring out what you actually want.
In this episode, Saara and Alissa get into what it took to share her story publicly when the people closest to her didn't get it, the blind confidence that comes from assuming no one is watching, and why desire without proof makes other people nervous. They talk about building in public, the cost of being mocked for wanting things until those things work, and how heartbreak translates into art. They also explore attachment styles, what healthy relationships actually look like, and creating something that outlives you.
