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.

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.

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.” ✅ funny podcast for women ✅ sick podcast story ✅ funny wedding podcast ✅ NYC Cipriani gala ✅ relatable millennial podcast ✅ Wise honey BBQ chips ✅ viral TikTok podcast#FunnyPodcast #RelatableAF #GirlsWhoGetItGetIt #WeekendRecap #ComedyPodcast #DeluluGirls #FunnyGirls #GirlsPodcast #WomenPodcast #MillennialPodcast Hosted on Acast.

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.wedding drama, destination wedding rant, travel trauma, breakup season, butter yellow, Labubu, spring chaos, comedy podcast, millennial podcast, Gen Z podcast, Spotify trending, TikTok viral, funny podcast 2025 Hosted on Acast.

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 gaslightingThis is your aesthetic warning label.Stay unhinged.
