    Wait Did She Say Sex?!? | #3

    So, here’s the thing: in this podcast episode, I decided to tackle the wild world of sexuality (because why not dive into the deep end, right?). I started off feeling all kinds of serious, but then I got distracted by an allergic reaction to my shower gel—seriously, what is happening to my foot?! As I tried to talk about how some people just don’t get that they’re manipulating the clueless and vulnerable, I found myself ranting about this ridiculous “blue balls” myth. Like, seriously? Guys, if you’re feeling frisky, just take a cold shower! Problem solved! And don’t even get me started on people judging others for their outfits. I mean, if I want to wear a crop top in 90-degree heat, it’s not an invitation for you to freak out like I’ve committed a crime against humanity! I’m just trying to exist here, folks! By the end of the episode, I couldn’t help but laugh at how silly societal rules can be—like why is wearing a hat indoors such a big deal? But hey, at least I didn’t have to apologize for wearing my favorite outfit while doing it! Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

    Wait So I'm Jealous Now? | #4

    Today was a bit of a circus as I juggled repairs around the house—seriously, my kitchen has been out of commission for so long that I’m starting to think it’s just a myth. Between dodging repair guys and my own mini-meltdown, I found myself pondering the fine line between trauma and jealousy. It’s wild how jealousy gets such a bad rap—like, you never see someone walk up and say, “Hey, just wanted to confess I'm super jealous of your new shoes.” Instead, they’ll just seethe in silence while plotting how to “accidentally” break them.

    Wait Men & Women Are Divided? | #5

    Hey everyone! Welcome back to the podcast! So, if you’re here to listen to me ramble about random stuff that probably doesn’t matter to most people, then you’re in the right place! I know there’s been a bit of a delay in getting this episode out—sorry about that! I had this whole plan to upload a gaming video, but life happened, and that didn’t pan out as I hoped. Instead, I made some of my old vlogs public (don’t judge—they’re a bit cringey). This week, I’m diving into something that I think a lot of us have noticed: the divide between men and women. You know, it’s kind of wild how different our experiences can be, but I think it all comes down to how society shapes us. I’ll share some thoughts on how small interactions can blow up, especially when it comes to misunderstandings between the sexes. So grab your snacks, get comfy, and let’s chat about it!

    Wait I Had An Onlyfans? | #6

    Welcome back to the podcast, folks! Today, I’m diving into a topic that I never thought I’d discuss in public—my OnlyFans experience. Yep, you heard that right! I can't believe I'm doing this, but here we go. So, picture this: I thought OnlyFans would be a little side gig, a fun way to make some extra cash while I still figured out my life. I mean, who wouldn’t want to make millions just by taking pictures of their feet, right? Spoiler alert: That didn’t happen! I kick things off by explaining what OnlyFans really is—essentially a digital vault where you can offer anything from spicy content to workout tips. I mean, I’ve seen everything on there, even vegan recipes (seriously!). It’s like a wild buffet, but the catch is—if you want a taste, you'll have to fork over some cash. And let me tell you, those subscription models can get spicy, in more ways than one! I share my own little adventure with subscriptions—like that one time I signed up for an account that promised the moon and only delivered a half-hearted moon pie. No refunds, folks! It’s like a high-stakes game of digital roulette. We tackle the stereotype of OnlyFans being some easy money machine. Spoiler alert: It’s not just about snapping pics and counting bills like Scrooge McDuck. You actually have to work and build a following—who knew, right? So, tune in for some giggles, a bit of honesty, and maybe a few life lessons on the rollercoaster ride that is OnlyFans. Grab your snacks, and let’s get into it! Hosted on Ausha.

    Wait It's Hard To Love Yourself? | #7

    In this episode, I take a deep dive into the often uncomfortable yet crucial topic of body image and the importance of empathy—both for ourselves and for those around us. I share my own struggles with body issues, the moments of insecurity that creep in when I look in the mirror, and how easy it is to get caught up in societal expectations. As I reflect on my journey, I emphasize the need to practice self-compassion and remind listeners that everyone has their own battles, even if they’re not always visible. We often forget that behind every perfect Instagram post is a person who has insecurities and flaws just like ours. I talk about how fostering empathy can help us better understand not only ourselves but also the people we interact with daily. Throughout the episode, I aim to create a light-hearted yet impactful conversation around navigating these feelings, encouraging everyone to embrace their uniqueness and support one another. It’s all about lifting each other up in this journey of self-acceptance! Thank you for joining me and being part of this meaningful discussion. Hosted on Ausha.

    Flashback To Eighteen | #8

    Get ready for the lamest episode ever.. In this episode from 2017, when I was 18, I’m taking you on a nostalgic journey as I share my thoughts on some of my favorite TV shows, particularly in the DC Universe. I dive into my mixed feelings about The Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow. As I try to catch up on all the episodes, I reflect on how these shows have kept me entertained but also frustrated me at times. I share my excitement about The Flash being my absolute favorite, and how I’m always trying to stay updated before the big crossover episodes. I discuss the character development in Arrow, especially how I feel about some of the storylines and the fate of key characters. There are moments where I vent about plot inconsistencies and my hopes for more suspense and excitement in the storytelling. It’s a fun and candid talk as I try to make sense of these shows and what makes them tick for me. Join me for some youthful ramblings and let’s see if you relate to my teenage fandom struggles! Don’t forget to check out my info below, and I’ll catch you next time! Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
