In this solo episode, David shares the mental health journey he once tried to hide, from being bullied and broken down to checking himself into treatment at 22. He opens up about the pain of feeling unwanted and the fight to reclaim his worth. This is a story of survival, identity, and the strength it takes to choose healing, even when the world makes you feel unworthy of it.

What do you do when your first-ever podcast interview is with one of your personal heroes… and you forget to save the video file? You laugh, you cry (a little), and you lean into the chaos.

__

My first guest ever on XO Diva D is the iconic Becca Tobin; actress, podcaster, glam goddess, and one-third of the unstoppable LadyGang. You might know her from Glee, the E! series LadyGang TV, or her unfiltered, hilarious takes every Tuesday on the LadyGang podcast.

__

We talked about everything:✨ Her early dance career (and meeting Keltie Knight)🎭 Life on Glee and stepping into an already-famous cast💫 Grief, acting struggles, staying grounded🎤 Dream roles (manifesting American Horror Story)🎉 And the vision behind LadyWorld; LadyGang's first-ever fan festival happening this fall (get your tickets now!)

__

Becca was warm, hilarious, honest, and made me feel like I wasn’t totally spiraling, which, I kinda was.

The only downside? Your boy here forgot to save the video, so this episode is ✨audio-only✨. But hey… that’s podcasting, baby. I’m still learning, figuring it out as I go, but my hope is that XO Diva D becomes a space unlike anything else out there. A place where real conversations meet pop culture, where we hype each other up, and where everyone feels seen.

For episode two I had one of my best friends, Charlie, come on for a discussion about mental health and substance abuse. This episode was very emotional to film, but these are things that need to be talked about.
