Currently Cringing

Comedy shows, beta blockers, migraines, IV drips, and sinus chaos. Performing nearly killed me.Let’s rewind to early August. I have back-to-back sold-out comedy shows in Houston and Dallas, and my body? Full-blown meltdown. Debilitating anxiety. Beta blockers that barely worked. And to top it off? A histamine storm from hell — migraines, sinus pressure, and nervous sh*ts that laughed in the face of science.In this episode of Currently Cringing, I spiral through every chaotic moment leading up to the shows:🔹 Dry mouth, shaking, stage possession — not butterflies, but bear attack energy🔹 Hotel rehearsals to escape the immigrant household chaos🔹 My one-woman experiment with propranolol, rice water, and IV drips🔹 Why beta blockers calm the heart but not the bowels🔹 The nervous system tax of being a live performer (with a sinus infection)I was doing immunity IVs like I was prepping for a space launch, chugging Mucinex like it was vintage wine, and still — still — the body said: “No thanks.”Whether you’re an anxious overachiever, a performer who spirals before the spotlight, or just someone who’s tried to outsmart their own nervous system with supplements and serotonin… this one’s for you.🎧 Tune in for:Performance anxiety that doesn’t care about your résuméWhy sinus headaches are the actual terroristsWhat happens when you combine beta blockers with a microdose of Mounjaro and a migraineAnd how your audience can save you — even when your immune system won’t#FunnyPodcast #Relatable #ComedyPodcast #FunnyGirls #GirlsPodcast #WomenPodcast #MillennialPodcast #femalepodcast #popculture Hosted on Acast.

This week, I’m coming for everything — my first-ever nose hair trimmer purchase (Vienna inspired, don’t ask), why I’d rather date a clean jerk than a dirty nice guy, and how some men’s breath could single-handedly wipe out romance. We’re also talking the new ultimate flex: living offline, surviving Miami’s “artisanal” pizza scene without losing your will to live, and why the patriarchy is choking on our lipsticks. Sharp, funny, and not safe for your fragile uncle’s Facebook feed.nose hair trimmer, dating hygiene, patriarchy podcast, Miami pizza review, offline living, gingivitis dating dealbreakers, Neapolitan pizza Miami, women and dating, patriarchy commentary#FunnyPodcast #Relatable #ComedyPodcast #FunnyGirls #GirlsPodcast #WomenPodcast #MillennialPodcast #femalepodcast #popculture Hosted on Acast.

This week, I spiral through three urgent matters:Sydney Sweeney’s Ford commercial backlash—because God forbid a hot woman drives a truck.My nightmare dentist appointment—featuring waterboarding, adult-sized mouth molds, and my lifelong search for a night guard.Recession indicators no one’s talking about—like people casually owning raccoons and drinking “mood lattes” instead of paying rent.If you’ve ever gagged on dental plaster, been shamed for not wearing leggings to Pilates, or thought to yourself “Is that possum wearing a sweater?”—this episode is for you.Tap in for an unfiltered breakdown of capitalism, gum sensitivity, and Sydney Sweeney’s right to be hot and drive.#FunnyPodcast #Relatable #ComedyPodcast #FunnyGirls #GirlsPodcast #WomenPodcast #MillennialPodcast #femalepodcast #popculture Hosted on Acast.

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 trendHit play if you’re tired of performing for people who don’t even clap.#FunnyPodcast #Relatable #ComedyPodcast #FunnyGirls #GirlsPodcast #WomenPodcast #MillennialPodcast #femalepodcast #popculture Hosted on Acast.

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.Andy Byron Kristin Cabot Astronomer CEO Coldplay Cheating Kiss Cam Concert#FunnyPodcast #Relatable #ComedyPodcast #FunnyGirls #GirlsPodcast #WomenPodcast #MillennialPodcast #femalepodcast #popculture Hosted on Acast.

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.Carnival cruise documentary, poop cruise Netflix, Labubu doll Pazuzu, Prada Kolhapuri sandal, Zara AI fashion, vibe economy, cultural appropriation fashion, mounjaro update 2025, Currently Cringing podcast, luxury fashion critique, aesthetic theft#FunnyPodcast #Relatable #ComedyPodcast #FunnyGirls #GirlsPodcast #WomenPodcast #MillennialPodcast #femalepodcast #popculture Hosted on Acast.

Is America actually on sale?

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 spiralsNorway, Fjord, Oslo, Travel#FunnyPodcast #Relatable #ComedyPodcast #FunnyGirls #GirlsPodcast #WomenPodcast #MillennialPodcast #femalepodcast #popculture Hosted on Acast.

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.#BezosWedding #LaurenSanchez #CurrentlyCringing #WWJD #MainCharacterEnergy #PopCulture #ViralPodcast #Unfiltered #CulturalCommentary#FunnyPodcast #Relatable #ComedyPodcast #FunnyGirls #GirlsPodcast #WomenPodcast #MillennialPodcast #femalepodcast Hosted on Acast.

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.
