  • Shark Week, Sick Manicure and Saying Goodbye to People Who Secretly Hate You

    It’s Shark Week, but the real bloodbath? Cutting off people who smile in your face and talk sh*t behind your back. In this episode of Currently Cringing, Anisha spirals (with a fresh gel set, finally) about the dark side of people-pleasing, why your nail tech being sick is a spiritual lesson, and how to stop explaining your worth to people who wouldn’t defend you in a group chat. It’s giving boundaries. It’s giving emotional exfoliation. It’s giving… no more Ms. Nice Girl.


    This episode dives into:

    🦈 Shark Week mood swings & the curse of kindness

    💅 The chaos of not being able to get your nails done

    🙅‍♀️ The art of the elegant cut-off

    🧠 People-pleasing, confrontation anxiety, and post-betrayal clarity

    🌊 Why protecting your peace is the hottest summer trend


    Hit play if you’re tired of performing for people who don’t even clap.

  • Pilates and Coldplay Cheating CEO Scandal

    This week’s episode is a full spiral, reformer-style. We kick off in the Pilates studio where I’m sweating, shaking, and resisting the cult of leggings while surrounded by girls named Sage in $300 sets. Then we talk gym culture, peri-menopausal survival, and why I now dress like I’ve lost everything in the divorce… for safety.


    Because in 2025? Looking rich is a liability.

    I unpack the emotional damage of trying to look poor on vacation while influencers get robbed in Paris for posting their Birkins.


    This week on Currently Cringing, we spiral through everything from gym culture and Pilates reformer trauma to Mounjaro-fueled survival and a Coldplay concert affair that turned into an HR disaster. I update you on how weight training is saving my peri-menopausal bones, why I dress like an off-duty monk at the gym, and how my husband fell mid-class while I judged him in silence.


    Then we dive into the scandal of the week: the Astronomer CEO who got caught cheating on the Coldplay kiss cam, launching a viral meltdown, a wife deleting his last name from Facebook, and me questioning why anyone cheats in public… at Gillette Stadium… while Chris Martin sings Fix You.


    We also discuss the new survival aesthetic: why cute vacation outfits are over and looking rich is officially a safety hazard. Because at this point? I pack like I’m starring in a documentary about disappearing quietly.


    We spiral. We sweat. We stay unhinged.

  • Poop Cruises & Prada’s Kolhapuri: The Vibe Economy Is Broken

    In this unhinged episode of Currently Cringing, we’re spiraling through the wildest parts of 2025—from Carnival’s poop cruise documentary to Labubu demon dolls and Zara’s AI-generated outfits that feel like a simulation glitch. We’re also calling out Prada’s $1,200 Kolhapuri chappals (colonizer-core is not couture) and breaking down why the vibe economy is broken—because artists and cultural creators keep building the vibe while corporations keep cashing the checks.


    And finally, I’m entering month two of Mounjaro, my blood sugar’s balanced, my inflammation is down, and I’ve never felt better—even if society is in full-blown aesthetic chaos.

  • The Beautiful Billionaire's Bill
    Is America actually on sale? In this chaotic, no-crumbs-left breakdown of the One Big Beautiful Bill, Anisha Ramakrishna (comedian, spiraling millennial, daughter of immigrants) rips into the tax cuts for billionaires, Medicaid gutting, SNAP slashes, and student loan “reforms” wrapped in glitter and fiscal gaslighting.
    What’s really in the bill? Who benefits? Who loses coverage, groceries, and basic dignity? And why does Congress keep acting like chronic illness is a personality flaw?
    In this episode:


    Why the top 1% gets beachfront write-offsWhat Medicaid work requirements actually meanWhy 12 million could lose coverageSNAP cuts, ICE bonuses, and rural hospital shadeStudent loan “reform” that’s basically a prank
    Anisha calls out both parties, explains every clause like you’re five (but fabulous), and reminds you why loving America means holding it accountable.
    This isn’t a political lecture. It’s a designer roast.God bless America. And God help us if we stay quiet.

  • Fjords, Cold Plunges, Jellyfish, and the End of the World

    This week, I take you on an emotionally unhinged journey from the glacial waters of Norway to the psychological battlefield that is… modern life in America. What starts as a bougie wellness trip—complete with sauna bonding, orange jellyfish, and Scandinavian death water—spirals into a full-blown existential crisis about war, privilege, and whether I should be stocking adaptogens or ammo.


    I dive into thalassophobia, my husband’s Olympic plunge energy, and why nature is not my birthright. Then I land back in the U.S. and WHIPLASH: it’s war, again. Instagram is a mix of missile strikes, makeup tutorials, and influencers contouring through the collapse. Welcome to the simulation.


    We talk privilege, the politics of panic, global chaos, and the real reason I’m skipping the next cold plunge: I’d rather be judged in Monaco by a Pomeranian than emotionally waterboarded by a fjord.


    Warning: Contains jellyfish trauma, aesthetic spirals

  • WWJD: Bezos and Modern Power

    From the lace-gloved chaos of Lauren Sánchez’s couture rollout to Jeff Bezos’ Renaissance space wedding with a guest list that low-key rivals the Epstein files—this week we spiral hard. Anisha breaks down the $200B masquerade, Kim K’s Saint Laurent Succubus moment, Bezos’ kids ghosting the ceremony, and why this wasn’t a wedding—it was a rebrand. We’re talking narcissism, NDAs, Nepo billionaires, and the sickeningly soft power of silicone Versailles. It’s Eyes Wide Shut meets Forbes 500 with a prenup. What Would Jeff Do? Apparently, everything.

  • Microdosing Mounjaro

    We waited three hours in the rain for Ceres Pizza in NYC. It was $115. There were time slots being screamed like we were at JFK, and we left with two pizzas, five people, and zero slices to spare for the poor man who tried to Venmo us. This is the energy I left New York with—and then flew straight to Scandinavia.


    In this unfiltered episode, I’m taking you through my chaotic, gorgeous, hormonally regulated European birthday tour for my husband across Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Czech Republic, Austria, and Hungary—all while microdosing Mounjaro.


    No migraines. No sinus infections. No sugar spirals. Just schnapps, goulash, beer, and 20,000 steps a day in platform sneakers. We peed in floor-to-ceiling glass bathrooms, swam in fjords, and I was recognized by Family Karma fans in Aurland, Norway (a North Carolina supermodel couple, obviously).


    I share my full Mounjaro update—how I lost 9 lbs of inflammation and water weight, cleared the food noise, slept like I astral projected, and didn’t even want dessert in Europe. My period showed up on cue (because she always vacations with me), but for the first time in years? No migraine. No histamine meltdown.


    And because I have too much to say and too many opinions to gatekeep, I’m launching a curated travel + wellness blog—a chaotic guide to food, culture, hormones, luxury, and how to survive Europe with a carry-on and cortisol. You’re welcome.


    I’m also heading straight from this trip into stand-up shows, because apparently I enjoy exhaustion. Let’s get into it.

  • Gut Health with Dr. Kumkum Patel

    Bloated by noon? Can’t poop on vacation? Convinced you have a gluten allergy but also eat bagels in secret? SAME. This week, I sit down with gastroenterologist and motility expert Dr. Kumkum Patel to talk about everything your gut has been trying to tell you but you’ve been ignoring since 2012.


    We get into:


    • What causes bloating and why it’s not just “normal”
    • Gut-brain spirals and stress constipation
    • Why your poop says more about you than your therapist
    • The truth about dairy, gluten, Mounjaro, and microbiome trends
    • IBS, pelvic floor dysfunction, and yes—pooping postpartum


    This episode is equal parts educational, unhinged, and shockingly validating. If you’ve ever said “I’m just built like this” to explain your bloating—this one’s for you.


    🎧 Subscribe, spiral, and sip your peppermint tea. Your gut (and therapist) will thank you.

  • Genetics & Just One Bite: Why Being South Asian Feels Like a Full-Time Job

    In this laugh-out-loud episode, Anisha and friend of the show Aditya dive into the very real struggle of South Asian genetics, food trauma, and body image chaos. From skipping flights because of emergency surgeries to surviving on one bite of a croissant (seriously), she breaks down the generational guilt of daal and rice, chronic bloating, and why weight loss feels like a scam for Indian men and women.


    They also unpack what it’s like to always be the before photo, even when you’re living your best, gluten-free, dairy-free, cruelty-free life. Oh—and the part where she might’ve manifested a discontinued chip brand back into existence? Yeah, that too.


    If you’ve ever felt bloated, judged by your lunchbox, or personally victimized by your DNA, this one’s for you.

  • First Couples Trip: Periods, Passport Panic & Plane Drama

    What do you get when you mix two destination weddings, one international girlfriend, four missed flights, a malfunctioning Uber, period cramps, and a cockatoo-level meltdown at TSA? This episode.


    Anisha is joined by friend of the show Aditya who went from Hamptons +1 to running through Barcelona airports in sneakers—while trying not to break up mid-security line. They break down travel compatibility, airport red flags, international RSVP etiquette, and why pre-check is the new couples therapy.


    From Hamptons hors d’oeuvres to Iberia standby stress, we’re covering:

    ✈️ White weddings vs. brown weddings

    🩲 Feminine care panic pre-boarding

    🇪🇸 Indian wedding in Barcelona

    🧳 Carry-on meltdowns and partner compatibility tests

    🥴 Jet-lagged love & period-induced personality shifts


    This is your summer travel rom-com (with zero chill).
