Ever refused to pay for a bad manicure? Been accused of being a gold digger—while making twice as much as your partner? Had someone mansplain your own work to you? If so, congratulations—you might be entitled to emotional compensation.

In this episode of Asterisk, I tackle three gloriously avoidable dilemmas with completely unhelpful advice:

✔️ Bad nails, bad service, bad vibes—should you pay for a manicure that looks like a crime scene?

✔️ Gold digger accusations, weak boyfriends, and brutal reality checks—how do you respond when someone assumes you’re broke?

✔️ The art of getting mansplained to—should you stop a guy mid-sentence, or let him bury himself in his own ignorance?

Should you suffer through a potluck with people you hate just for free food? Is Panda Express after work a good idea or a guaranteed food coma? And why are people willingly squeezing into underwater caves for fun?

In this episode of The Asterisk Podcast, I tackle life’s most unnecessary dilemmas with completely unhelpful advice:

✔️ How to weaponize a potluck invitation instead of declining like a normal person.

✔️ Why you already know you’re getting Panda Express—you just need me to say it’s okay.

✔️ The wild world of cave diving—aka, the extreme sport for people who aren’t afraid of becoming a skeleton.
