Getting in the car with strange men, bad car accidents, living with crazy people
WHO'S SURPRISED?! I've been fired from almost all of my jobs -- probably 98 percent of them. Deadass a majority of them were not my fault. Lying and poor management is something we've probably all encountered. But I think I've encountered a little bit more than others. The closest it's been to my fault was probably due to my "quiet quitting" demeanor. These are all true stories. No embellishment. I'm just not meant to be employed.
I had a great year! Comparatively. What happened in 2022, the things I changed, the things I loved, the things I hated. What I'm planning on doing with 2023 and why I'm excited.
We've all blacked out, right?! This was more of a "brown out" but it was still a bad look. My boyfriend basically broke up with me on the spot at the best location to break up with someone -- at a wedding. This episode talks about men who think anxiety and depression are fake, why we put up with what we put up with, why can't guys just break up with people, why I thought I was borderline, EMDR and how I feel about Christmas as an adult.
The best/worst stories from when I was a reporter. Driving into a wild fire, getting into fights, crying in the Taco Bell parking lot, missing deadline, covering The Purge, covering shootings, running toward gunshots.
I always forget being adopted isn't the norm, but for me it's how it's always been. Every situation is different but mine was pretty traumatic. Biological parents, adoptive parents, abandonment issues, borderline personality disorder, anxiety, depression, learning disabilities -- the whole shebang.
The conclusion of the esthetician board rigged my licensing exam. The reasons why I think they did it and the proof I have. Also, should you stay with a boyfriend who cheated and what does it mean when he likes another girl's photo on Instagram.
I used my settlement to get my esthetician license - except it never happened, because they rigged my final exam. In this episode we talk about friendship, racism, David dobrick and what it's like being a pick me ass bitch.
Don't like me talking about you? BUY ME OUT. Also discussing toxic positivity, anxiety v depression, Canada, why I should've been a man.
I'm ok with being wrong! And I hate it when people can't be wrong. Sure, it can be uncomfortable but being wrong is a part of life and it's nothing to be embarrassed over. Is being overly critical and judgmental because of a fear of being wrong? Let's discuss. Also, mansplaining is a disease.
My whole life's a bit! Being a freight broker, getting into drayage, driving to North Carolina, losing my car, going to the port of Charleston.
Suing someone is the ultimate "fuck you."
Kicking people out, women regretting their children, couples fighting in my car, potentially being drugged, the stupidest conversations I've overheard.
I'm what I like to call, "semi-employed." What it's like to drive for Uber full-time. How I make the most amount of money possible. The best times to drive. How to be a good passenger. Why you should put your ambition in other areas of your life that isn't your job.
I've accomplished a lot of what I've set out to accomplish in my life. But I'm done. I'm not participating anymore as I now believe success is actually a myth they talk about to keep the capitalism hamster wheel turning. I discuss how I was able to achieve what I've achieved and why and where I've pivoted in my life.
The question I get asked the most! Your questions answered plus a few other tid bits. I'm the best winter driver in the world, a love letter to Fred Myers, the first time I saw a racoon, smuggling drugs, being stupid.
Last year I went through a mass deletion of basically all my friends. This episode talks about why it's ok to not have a lot of friends or any friends at all, how I think some people are codependent on their friends and the awful things my friends did to me last year.
The moving scam conclusion. Adele, cracker barrel, and even Disneyland make a guest appearance in this episode.
I had no idea moving scams were even a thing. This episode talks about my nightmare of a break up, substance issues and why you should be nice to your ex. Listen to this episode before you hire anyone to move your stuff half way across the country.
Being a whore on a dating app, first date tats, publicly humiliating people, dnd
