  • Bad at Skiing, Good at Making Out – My Aspen Chaos
    Mar 6 2025

    Pack your bags, Tiny Adults (is this nickname working for you?? Y/N?), because we’re heading to Aspen—where the altitude is high, the skiing is tragic, and the men? Well… some of them are worth the trip. This episode is a rollercoaster of luxury, disaster, and unexpected life lessons. From scoring free designer fits to nearly dying on the slopes, this trip had everything.

    Buckle up—you're in for a ride.

    TIME STAMPS:

    [00:00:00] - [00:13:16] ➝ My favourite part of traveling, the perks of flying deaf, and why you should actually appreciate your loved ones.

    [00:15:04] ➝ That one time my boyfriend low-key hated me, my alleged passion for stealing, and how I learned altitude sickness (much like the female orgasm) isn't a myth. (Wait, wuttt?!)

    [00:25:58] ➝ Me vs. skiing: a brutal battle for survival. Plus, the lesson I should have learned—and what you should take away instead. (Cue the existential crisis.)

    [00:50:42] ➝ Brazilian men are hot, Bad makeout sessions, and why escaping Aspen is always a sh*t show.


    Click play for luxury, disaster, and life lessons you didn’t ask for but need!

  • The LET THEM Theory Will Change Your Life
    Feb 27 2025

    BBC is BACK, baby! Welcome back to Benson Book Club—your monthly deep dive into books that actually hit. Every fourth week, we break down a chapter that changes the game and today, we’re cracking open The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins.

    “Your energy is better spent on what you can control: YOU.” – Mel Robbins

    Translation? Stop trying to control people who don’t text back, don’t show up, or don’t give you what you want. LET THEM. And then? Watch your life get so much easier.

    This episode covers:

    • Why chasing people is a waste of time
    • Why You’re Exhausted Trying to Control People – The #1 mistake we all make when we try to “fix” or “convince” others. (Spoiler: It never works.)
    • How to Stop Taking Things Personally – When someone ghosts, disrespects you, or doesn’t show up the way you want—here’s how to instantly stop giving a f*ck.
    • The Freedom of LETTING THEM – What happens when you stop chasing, stop forcing, and just let people do whatever they want? (Hint: Your life gets 100x easier.)
    • Your Energy is YOURS—Take It Back – You don’t need their approval. You don’t need closure. You need to focus on YOURSELF.
    • The Magic of The LET THEM and Let Me Theory – The second you apply this, you’ll start feeling lighter, happier, and completely unbothered.


    If you’re tired of overthinking, over-explaining, and over-giving—this episode is for YOU.

    Hit play, and let’s talk about it. 🎧🔥 #LetThem #AlmostAdulting #MelRobbins

  • We Listen and We DO Judge (ft. Laura Clery)
    Feb 20 2025

    🚨 Buckle up, tiny adults—this episode is PURE CHAOS. 🚨

    I’m joined by the one and only Laura Clery—host of Idiot podcast, author, comedian, and dear friend. Together, we’re spilling the most unhinged, hilarious, and WTF-worthy stories we’ve never dared to say out loud—until now. But you have to PROMISE not to judge. From moving in with a drug dealer she met once, to accidentally ruining a marriage, to getting away with illegal parking, meth (yes, really), and some other truly questionable life choices.

    Then, we get serious about life post-divorce, finding yourself again, and the reality of dating after everything falls apart.

    If you love a mix of absolute chaos and raw honesty, this episode is for you. Tap in NOW. 🎧🔥 #AlmostAdulting #LauraClery #NoRegrets (…okay, some regrets)
