EP 15 - New Year, Same Me

New year, new me? …yeah, no. In this episode, I’m talking about why my December got super busy. Also for this year no unrealistic resolutions, no fake glow-ups, just honesty, growth at my own pace, and a little self-reflection sprinkled with humor. If you’re entering the new year feeling a bit confused, tired, hopeful, or just very much yourself this one’s for you.

EP 14 - My Relationshits

Welcome back to Strudel Talk! In this episode, I’m diving head-first into my relationshits. Yes, you read that right. The good, the bad, and the “why did I even reply to him?” moments. I’m unpacking past relationships, questionable decisions, unexpected lessons, and all the emotional chaos that shaped me. If you’ve ever looked at your love life and thought, “Wow… same girl,” then this episode is definitely for you. Grab a snack, grab a tissue, and let’s talk about love gone wrong and what it taught me.

EP 12 - Knock Knock Knock, Don't Open Your Door

This episode gets a little spooky. We’re talking ghosts, weird vibes, and things science probably can’t explain. It’s all in good fun, though! So if you’re easily spooked, maybe grab a strudel, turn on a light, and listen responsibly. This episode contains discussions about paranormal topics, ghost stories, and unexplained events. It is intended for entertainment purposes only. Listener discretion is advised, especially for those who may find such topics unsettling.

EP 11 - Vienna Woods Killer Jack Unterweger

Vienna isn’t all coffeehouses and waltzes sometimes it hides much darker stories. In this episode, I dive into the shocking case of Jack Unterweger, Austria’s most infamous “celebrity criminal.” From his rise as a reformed writer to his chilling double life, this story is both fascinating and unsettling. Buckle up, this one’s not your usual strudel chat. This episode discusses true crime events, including violence and murder, which may be distressing to some listeners. Listener discretion is advised.

EP 10 - Uni-Friendship 101

University life: 30% lectures, 20% panic before exams, and 50% trying to figure out who your friends are. In this episode, I spill the tea on how I went from awkward small talk in lecture halls to club runs and unbreakable bonds. It’s a mix of chaos, caffeine, and a little bit of strudel. Because surviving uni is so much better with friends by your side.

EP 8 - Dating? What is that?

Dating in Vienna is not for the faint of heart. Between language mix-ups, cultural quirks and it’s basically a rom-com waiting to happen minus the rom, plus a lot of comedy. In this episode, I share the highs, lows, and painfully funny stories of trying to find love (or at least good coffee dates) in Austria.
