I Hear You, Babe
I Hear You, Babe is your weekly voice note from someone who overshares for a living.
Hosted by Dino Malvone—founder of SaltDrop, full-time feeler, part-time hater—this pod is where we unpack the mess, the magic, the spirals, and the stuff you should probably still be talking about in therapy.
Some episodes will make you laugh so hard you snort. Others might have you crying in your car outside a CVS. Either way: you’re not alone. I hear you. I got you.
Let’s get into it.
I Hear You, Babe
24. Thank You, Next (And I Mean That With My Whole Chest)

This week’s episode is my version of a gratitude episode… which means it is not polished, not Pinterest, and definitely not “10 things I’m thankful for” energy.
We’re talking about the things you’re actually grateful you survived.
The friendships that got weird.
The jobs that tried to age you.
The relationships that looked fine from the outside but were quietly draining the life out of you.
The eras where you were everyone’s emergency contact, everyone’s therapist, everyone’s “strong one.”
I talk a little about the friend group turbulence in my own life (hi, sub-chats of sub-chats) and what happens when people put each other on pedestals and stop relating to the actual human underneath. Then we get into your emails — real, messy, thoughtful, funny as hell, and honestly really moving.
It’s gratitude with boundaries.
It’s “thank you for the lesson, but the class is closed.”
It’s Thank You, Next in real time.
