In this two-part episode, Cate & Ty welcome Teen Mom content creator Elle Bee (@ellebee_official) for a deep dive into her life and career. Elle opens up about growing up with teen parents, navigating her mother’s four marriages, and how childhood experiences with yelling and abuse shaped her "helicopter mom" parenting style. Elle recounts her journey from recording makeup reviews in a cramped bathroom closet to becoming a prominent voice in the Teen Mom commentary space. She also speaks on the ethics of reality TV coverage and the moment she realized the stars she discussed were actually watching her videos.
