The strange world of unsolicited job offers and relentless boundary crossing. From a man who keeps dangling opportunities that don’t quite make sense to awkward personal questions about my finances, I share my frustration. But amidst the chaos, a moment of clarity comes when I learn about a neighbor’s cancer battle, reminding me to count my blessings and appreciate what truly matters. Tune in for a mix of frustration, reflection, and gratitude.

I’d like to hear from you and please rate and review the show.

After returning from South Africa, the jet lag hits hard, and unexpected delays make travel even more challenging.

I share the chaos of missing flights, a long layover, and the strange situation with a married man who keeps making advances.

Despite it all, there’s gratitude for such things—like eBay sales on vacation, thoughtful gestures from friends, and the joy of getting back to work right after a long trip.

Join me as I reflect on the ups and downs of travel, life, and staying grounded amidst the whirlwind.

An update on my South Africa trip, including the challenges and emotional moments along the way. From staying with family to confronting past issues, I explore how complicated family dynamics have impacted my mental health. I also reflect on the experience of visiting my brother’s grave and the mixed emotions that came with it. Plus, I talk about navigating the difficulties of spending time with my mom and what I’ve learned from this trip.

Thanks for 3 months and counting!

Talking to you about it because I tried reaching out to close people and I tell you how that went.

Complex dynamics of narcissism within a dysfunctional family.

I share my personal experience of feeling like the black sheep—alienated, overlooked, and undervalued.

The emotional toll of being in a family where things are pushed under the rug, how being the one who addresses issues can lead to feeling as the aggressor, how that can lead to literal and emotional alienation.

I’d love to hear from you in similar family dynamics

The frustrations of dealing with entitled and manipulative buyers on eBay. From endless messages to unreasonable demands, I share a recent experience that highlights the worst behaviors I’ve encountered. Tune in for a raw rant on why some buyers think they can outsmart sellers and manipulate situations, and why it’s time we set boundaries in the world of online selling.

Feeling anxious without knowing why. I break down how I trace my stress back to its source, from an eBay return that didn’t go as planned to a home repair that created more problems than it solved.

A weekend getaway to Big Bear provided a nice escape, but back home, an unexpected battle with crickets added to the chaos.

Plus, a look at one of my go-to coping tools when stress lingers longer than expected.

An hour-long, real-time recording of my chaotic drive to the Mexico-USA border, dealing with aggressive street vendors, running out of gas, and a dramatic breakdown along the way.

I navigate the crossing for the first time by car, ask border officers for directions to my Global Entry interview, and capture the raw energy of the experience.

No edits, no clean-ups—just pure, unfiltered chaos at the border.

Frustrating interactions with friends who never seem to respond to the actual point of a conversation. From judging past relationships to deflecting questions with random comments, I share the irritation of dealing with people who miss the mark and turn every chat into a confusing exchange.

If you’ve ever felt drained by friends who just don’t get it. I wanna hear from you

Life on the Ramona Coaster by Ramona Singer of The Real Housewives of New York City. This book will show you a side of Ramona you weren’t aware of. Of course she shares quite a bit on the Bravo Reality show too.

I also tell you about the time I saw Ramona Singer in Person. Ramona experienced some domestic abuse which reminded me of some of my own toxic relationships, which I reflect on on this episode too.

I’d like to hear from and about you

My ongoing struggle with depression, hypothyroid, and whether it’s menopause or still PMDD affecting me at 46.

The highs and lows of my energy levels, from feeling euphoric to battling sadness. I share the challenges of traveling with exhaustion, working all day, and needing days to recover. I also discuss my weight gain after bulimia, how quitting that led to changes, and the role of thyroid issues.

 I talk about suicidal ideation, the toll of not having close friends, and my complicated relationship with family.

Join me as I explore these topics and reflect on how I keep going despite it all.

I wanna hear from you!
