charli xcx's brat, spicy ramen, & the existential grind: why i’m only posting fridays now.
Description
Diving into a chaotic stew of seasonal depression, capitalism as an MMORPG, spicy-but-bland ramen, and the existential crisis of slowing down in a hustle-obsessed world. This week’s unscripted rant covers everything from why I’m declaring it brat winter, to TikTok moon lamps, creepy Instagram ads, and why posting a podcast once a week feels like a rebellion against the grind. It's raw, it’s messy, and honestly, it’s just me vibing with my turtleneck and Sprite.
