Summer House’s Bailey Taylor on Surviving a Toxic Relationship and Getting Her Joy Back

Carl sits down with Summer House’s Bailey Taylor for a conversation on heartbreak, healing, and starting over. Bailey opens up about her toxic past relationship, navigating anxiety and trauma, and what it’s really like dating again after it all. She shares how grief, loss, and a major breakup shaped her - and how she’s rebuilt through therapy, medication, and pouring herself into her It Girl podcast.

She and Carl also get into what trauma looks like when it shows up in unexpected ways, how the Summer House cameras caught her in the middle of her healing, and why getting her joy back might be the biggest thing the summer gave her.

Please consider donating to Lower Eastside Girls Club, an organization close to Bailey’s heart that provides free programs and mentorship for young women and gender-expansive youth.
