  • EP. 65. Rant About Copycats. Single White Females
    Apr 5 2025

    In this fiery episode, I dive into the frustration of dealing with copycats—people who slide into my DMs asking for advice or tips, only to turn around and pass off my ideas as their own. With no credit, no acknowledgment, and a complete lack of respect, it’s a game I’m done playing. Tune in as I share how I’ve learned to cut off these idea thieves for good and the emotional toll it’s taken.

    Spoiler alert: If you’re copying me, you’re not getting away with it. Single White Female vibes, but in a totally different way.

    Apr 4 2025

    Planning a quick getaway takes unexpected turns when your mind starts to race in every direction.

    From chasing status matches for better hotel deals to getting comped rooms, the process of booking a trip becomes a whirlwind of decisions, distractions, and realizations.

    Between managing eBay offers and battling a scattered brain, the journey to Laughlin becomes more about embracing the chaos than the destination itself.


    Do you ever feel like you have zero control of your brain? Let’s talk!

  • EP. 63. The Nun Principal Who Hated Me In Boarding School
    Apr 1 2025

    I reflect on my time in boarding school under a nun who was both my principal and teacher—and who made it clear she hated me.

    From blatant favoritism toward my brother to relentless corporal punishment, she used her position of power to single me out.

    After a therapy session, I found myself ruminating for hours, unpacking the impact of those years.

    This is a raw look at how childhood experiences of cruelty and injustice can linger long after we leave them behind.

  • EP. 62. Raised by a Narcissist and Married a Narcissist
    Mar 31 2025

    After a therapy session that left me reflecting deeply, I decided to record my thoughts and process what was going on in my head.

    I discuss the ongoing challenges with love, weight loss, and the feeling of being rejected in romantic relationships.

    I also share insights from therapy, where I came to realize the dysfunction within my family and how being raised by a narcissist shaped my past and present moves in life.

    I married a narcissist and talk about about that dynamic.
