  • EP. 45. Pet Peeves. Smokers in Public Spaces

    Inconsiderate smokers are the worst!

    Trapped in my car, windows shut tight in the desert heat, all because the smokers next to me couldn’t keep their fumes to themselves. With no choice but to sit, suffocate, or waste gas on AC, I wondered—why can’t they contain their mess? Plus, the line I was waiting in wasn’t moving, adding to the frustration.

  • EP. 42. Why I Won’t Go Back. Reseller’s Thrift Store Guilt Trap

    In this episode of Babbling Brook, we’re talking about an incident that started in a thrift store and ended with a surprising twist. I thought I was being upfront and honest, but sometimes that backfires.


    I met someone, and what seemed like a simple encounter turned into something else. It all led me to a place that left me confused, frustrated, and questioning motives. Was I wrong, or was there something more at play?


    Tune in as I share the details of this experience, discuss small-town dynamics, and explore the complexities of how we interact with others when personal standards and honesty come into play. You’ll hear what went down and the unexpected emotions that followed. Listen in, and let me know what you think!

  • EP. 40. Creepy Teachers. Peeping Toms. Pedophiles & Killer Relationships

    A true crime show about a teacher waiting for a student to become legal reminded me of my own encounters with creepy teachers.

    One showed up in my college dorm after years of no contact, another was rumored to date a former student, and one was a known peeping Tom—I caught him watching me.

    This episode dives into blurred boundaries, predatory behavior, and the unsettling reality of teacher-student dynamics.

  • EP. 39. Breadcrumbing friends & Virtue Signaling

    A no holds barred rant about the world of low-effort friends, breadcrumbing, and virtue signaling.

    Have you ever had a friend who only gives the bare minimum, sending you memes or sharing reels but never engages with you on a personal level?

    I explore the hypocrisy behind these behaviors, and why some people prefer appearing compassionate online while neglecting their real-life connections.

    If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of this, this episode is for you. Also! Hit me up. I’d like to hear your stories
