In this episode, I share a deeply personal journey of discovering the root cause of my long-standing health struggles.

After years of being trapped in a cycle of chronic fatigue, depression, unexplained weight gain, hair loss, and numerous other symptoms, I was finally diagnosed with hypothyroidism. It was a mix of relief and sadness to know there was an explanation for everything I had been going through. I also touch on my other ongoing health concerns, like suspected histamine intolerance, and how some of the symptoms overlap with hypothyroidism, making it hard to figure out what’s what.

At the time of this recording, I was only just beginning to understand my condition, and there’s still so much to learn. Tune in for a raw, real, and reflective conversation about my health battles and what it all means moving forward.

Please hit me up if u have this diagnosis (or not). Let’s exchange stories and coping mechanisms etc.

In this episode, I dive into some of my biggest pet peeves—text ghosting, ignored questions, and the hypocrisy of holiday invites. We’ve all had those frustrating conversations where people ignore what you ask, talk over you, and then want to look like the good friend by offering a last-minute invitation. Listen in as I break down why this behavior drives me crazy and why it’s hard to take these gestures seriously.

I share real message exchanges with eBay buyers throughout my day. From a simple sale that took an unexpected turn to a buyer pushing the limits on negotiations, I break down the interactions without giving away my thoughts.

I want to hear your opinions—was this just business, or did these buyers cross the line?

An update on my home renovations and how lethargic I’ve been feeling lately. After exploring the symptoms, I go down the list of suspects and talk about how living alone has led me to discover some quirky life hacks.

I share stories about previous roommates and offer tips on how to make solo living a little more safe.

I also discuss life in the desert, the bugs I deal with, and how I handle them. Finally, I reflect on my history with anemia, what worked, what didn’t, and the supplements I’ve tried to manage it.
