Currently Cringing episodes

  • Stanley Cups, Lifting Weights & Olive Oil

    Think your Stanley Cup is saving you? Think again. In this hilarious and brutally honest episode of Currently Cringing, Anisha dives deep into the wellness-to-chaos pipeline: from rage-fueled Hot Girl Walks to $50 water bottles, aesthetic lunchboxes, and the unspoken trauma of gym selfies.

    We're breaking down the cult of hydration, the myth of mindset, and why lifting weights didn’t fix our lives (but did ruin our glutes). If you've ever rage-walked to a podcast about boundaries while ignoring three texts from your therapist… this one's for you.

    Topics:

    • Stanley Cup culture and the hydration cult
    • The lie of Hot Girl Walks and spiraling in motion
    • Lifting weights, body image, and the influencer workout scam
    • Dieting delusion, oat milk rage, and why “wellness” feels like emotional labor

    Warning: You will laugh, relate, and rethink your entire morning routine.

    Follow & subscribe for weekly spirals, sharp takes, and cultural commentary from your favorite chaotic bestie

    In this episode of Currently Cringing, Anisha exposes the silent chaos hiding behind your wellness routine. Stanley Cups? Cult. Hot Girl Walks? Rage in motion. Lifting weights? Triggering. Sicilian olive oil? Overpriced and spiritually confusing.

    If you've ever dry brushed your problems away, spiral-journaled after Pilates, or wondered why you're still crying even after your fourth adrenal cocktail—this one's for you.

    We’re spiraling through:

    • The Stanley Cup cult and beige-coded emotional repression
    • Hot Girl Walks and the myth of “walking it off”
    • Lifting weights, body dysmorphia, and gym girl delusion
    • The emotional weight of “clean eating”
    • Olive oil influencers and pantry performance anxiety

    This is wellness... but make it chaos.

    Taglines for sharing:

    → “You’re not hydrated—you’re just avoidant with a straw.”

    → “If your olive oil has a fan base, it’s a pyramid scheme.”

    → “You didn’t go on a Hot Girl Walk—you rage marched through capitalism.”

  • Smells Like Cottage Cheese & Freedom

    Let’s talk about the real wellness journey.

    Not the green juice, Lululemon-sponsored kind—but the kind where you accidentally discover cottage cheese gives you vintage subway BO, start seed cycling like a crunchy Brooklyn mom with commitment issues, and begin judging strangers based solely on the condition of their tongue.

    In this episode, Anisha spirals (as always) but delivers truth bombs and belly laughs on everything from hormonal health to the existential crisis of being a woman in her soft, smelly, main character era. You’ll hear about:

    💅 The BO Breakdown:

    How one tablespoon of cottage cheese turned her into a walking microwave and what that says about dairy, histamines, and deodorant-free living.

    🌱 Seed Cycling 101 (but make it funny):

    What flax, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower seeds are actually doing to your hormones.

    👅 Tongue Scraping & Why It’s a PSA:

    The ancient Ayurvedic ritual that’s now become her favorite way to silently judge humanity. (Spoiler alert: If your tongue looks like expired yogurt, she’s talking to you.)

    👩‍🦱 Being a Woman Today:

    Why we’re the first generation of women who can live like mediocre men—and why you better not waste it by smelling like one. From Roth IRAs to unapologetic solo travel, Anisha reflects on generational freedom, being delulu, and having billionaire-level confidence while emotionally bloated.

    🧠 Hormonal Hell & AI Face Reading:

    The wild world of ChatGPT face mapping, TCM wisdom, and what your under-eye circles say about your kidneys. (Yes, we’re serious. Yes, it’s horrifyingly accurate.)

    It’s giving: comedy, cottage cheese, cortisol regulation, and chaotic female wellness.

    If you’ve ever googled “why do I smell like regret” or bought flaxseeds because a girl on TikTok said so—this one’s for you.

    RATE. REVIEW. REPLENISH YOUR LIVER QI.


    This is the perfect episode for listeners searching for:

    • How to balance hormones naturally
    • What is seed cycling?
    • Cottage cheese and body odor
    • Perimenopause symptoms late 30s
    • Tongue scraping benefits
    • How to eat for your cycle
    • Funny women’s health podcasts
    • How to not smell bad on a plant-based diet
    • Modern wellness podcast with humor

  • New Pope, Met Gala Madness, and Why India & Pakistan Are the Original Real Housewives

    Okay, let’s talk about it—because the pop culture calendar? Ate this week.


    We’ve got an American Pope straight outta Chicago. White smoke, new Pope, same drama. Vatican girlies, rise. We’re unpacking the papal conclave, the memes, the history, and why this is giving ‘Catholic Church enters its soft launch era.’


    Meanwhile, the Met Gala? BABE. I KNOW you were scrolling last night like, ‘what the hell is going on?’ Quick primer for the men and straight people listening: The Met Gala, formally the Costume Institute Benefit, has been around since 1948, but didn’t become the fashion Hunger Games we know and love until Anna Wintour turned it into her personal chess board.


    This year’s theme? Superfine: Tailoring Black Style—a tribute to Black dandyism. Translation: Zendaya served. Janelle Monae reinvented surrealism. Colman Domingo said “block the cameras, I’m the camera.” And the Desis? We WON. Shah Rukh Khan in Sabyasachi. Priyanka Chopra reminding you she’s a global icon. Diljit Dosanjh showing up in a turban, Prabal Gurung suit, and a SWORD. A literal sword. And Mona Patel? Brought a ROBOT DOG in Thom Browne. That’s the chaotic wealth energy I want for us.


    Also: Pahalgam? No, not a trendy new Pilates class. A terrorist attack that has India and Pakistan one bad tweet away from WWIII. We’re breaking down colonial trauma, water wars, and why India-Pakistan is the OG Real Housewives franchise: messy and generationally traumatic.

    And before we go?


    It’s pop culture, history, chaos, and cackles. Subscribe, leave a review, and wave next time you see me in the steam room.”

  • Sick, Spiraling, and Stalked in the Steam Room: A Plague Diary

    Last week I told you I was sick. I had no idea that was just the prequel. This week? I’m recording from the depths of hell (aka my bed), 8 days into what I’m calling the medieval bucolic plague. I’m talking no sense of smell, no voice, no will to live. We’re spiraling, but we’re spiraling chic.


    In this unhinged episode, I unpack:


    💀 Getting sick again post–San Miguel destination wedding

    💀 The gala I barely survived (spoiler: Cipriani, Indian boomers, generational wealth energy)

    💀 Why Wise Honey BBQ chips gave me an existential headache

    💀 My ongoing rage toward my boomer dad for being Patient Zero

    💀 How I discovered the vagus nerve and started humming, shaking, and cold-plunging like a hot mess wellness girlie

    💀 And why one TikTok asking ‘is your brain a nice place to be?’ ruined my entire week.


    Also: I reveal my favorite croissant in NYC (you’re welcome), a shocking sauna encounter, and why I might need a chef, a therapist, or both.

    Basically, this episode is chaos, cough drops, and nervous system rewiring.


    Listen, laugh, Venmo me for therapy.”


    It’s comedy. It’s chaos. It’s coughing.


    Whether you’re sick in bed Googling “is this COVID or vibes,” or craving a Labubu for your Birkin—this episode is your emotional support blanket.”

  • Weddings, Breakup Season and a Labubu

    I have a sore throat, zero voice, and a lot to say. So yes, AI is narrating this episode while I sip tea and try not to lose it before my New York gala.

    This week, I’m spilling everything from my brother-in-law’s chaotic destination wedding in San Miguel de Allende (and my unhinged travel trauma), to why I’m still bitter I didn’t get my dream South of France wedding (justice for me, tbh).

    We’re talking cobblestone warfare, luxury delusion, and the psychological damage of growing up with a hypochondriac parent. Also: if you’ve seen a creepy little rat-doll hanging off someone’s Birkin—yes, I’m explaining Labubu. Yes, I want one.

    And just when you think we’re done? Welcome to Breakup Season—because apparently May is when people break up, buy linen, and rediscover their self-worth in the form of a Reformation dress and a delusional glow-up.

    It’s chaotic, it’s relatable, and it’s giving emotional support podcast.

  • Butter Yellow and Chaos

    In this week’s full-body spiral, we’re diving headfirst into the most unhinged (and enlightening?) color conspiracy of 2025: Butter Yellow. Why is it everywhere? Why do we all suddenly want to look like haunted Egg McMuffins? And who decided KitchenAid gets to control the color wheel? I call BS on quiet luxury dairy-core and unpack the actual psychology, fashion industry scam, and Pantone Illuminati behind your oat milk-coded closet.

    Then we cleanse. Literally. With a salt & vinegar chip therapy session that turns into an emotional breakdown about flavor, childhood trauma, and the return of Wise Honey BBQ Chips (yes, I manifested it). And finally, we descend into the bowels of hell—aka my colon cleanse—thanks to Chupa Panza tea, which smells like pineapple and purges like penance. You’ve been warned.


    Also:

    🥐 My White Lotus hot take (brown people run these resorts)

    🧂Why liking vinegar chips means you're brave

    🎨 And why butter yellow is the color of capitalist emotional gaslighting

    This is your aesthetic warning label.


    Stay unhinged. Stay delulu. Sage your colon.

  • Tariffs, Teslas & Colonics: A Delulu Girl’s Guide to Global Collapse

    This episode is a full-body cleanse—for your gut, your feed, and your faith in modern society. We’re diving into Trump’s new tariffs and the $3 trillion stock market wipeout, why American cars should come with trauma disclaimers, and how Tesla is basically your hot ex who ghosted and blames the moon.


    Also: I took 5 colon cleanse pills and had a spiritual awakening. We’re talking perimenopause, MCAS, Etsy witch spells, and why your FYP thinks you need to manifest a boyfriend.


    If anyone asks… I’m fine.

    💅 Rate, review, and sage your feed. Love you, mean it.


    Welcome back to the most unhinged, accidentally educational episode of the podcast yet—“Tariffs, Teslas & Colonics: A Delulu Girl’s Guide to Global Collapse.” Buckle up (in your emotionally unavailable American car), because this one is a full-body purge. I start this week’s episode where all iconic journeys begin: on the toilet, mid-colon cleanse, questioning every life choice. I took five colon detox pills because my gut is currently holding onto trauma, parasites, and probably a toxic situationship from 2019. From hip bursitis and arthritis to full-blown MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) and perimenopause, we’re covering the chaotic medical bingo card that is my life. And yes, I have histamine intolerance, hormonal migraines, and I think a bacterium from my Eat Pray Love trip is still renting space in my large intestine. While my insides are evacuating, the global economy is doing the same. Let’s talk Trump’s new tariffs—because nothing says “Welcome to Q2” like a 10% universal import tax, a 54% tariff on Chinese goods, and a 25% tax on imported cars. Meanwhile, the stock market had a $3.1 trillion meltdown, the S&P dropped 4.8%, and tech bros are weeping into their standing desks. I break it all down, in language you’ll actually understand (and laugh at)—because if we’re going down, we’re doing it with a glass of overpriced kombucha and a sarcastic smirk.

    And now for the fun part: the Tesla takedown.

    Why is this car the gaslighting boyfriend of the auto industry? Why does it cost $80K but come with a touchscreen from 2014 and a steering wheel that ghosts you mid-lane? Why does the car try to self-drive into chaos while Elon tweets like an AI stuck in a breakup loop? I said what I said. If your Tesla is listening, I hope it cries.


    We also drag:

    • 🚗 American cars (aka Depression on wheels)
    • 💸 Etsy spells (“Make him text you” spells that somehow just make you bloated)
    • 📉 Your For You Page trying to sell you witchcraft to fix your love life
    • 🔮 The cult of manifestation TikTok (you’re not manifesting a soulmate, you’re manifesting IBS and confusion)
    • 🧠 Why the algorithm thinks I’m desperate (it’s not wrong, just rude)


    If you’ve ever cried in a car, screamed at a spell jar, or tried to balance hormones while reading about global trade, this episode is for you.

    This is not a wellness podcast. This is a capitalism cleanse with a comedy chaser.

    Come for the colon cleanse, stay for the collapse.

    ✨ Rate, review, and don't forget to sage your DMs. ✨
