Hey Problem Addicts,

I've had a profound realization over the last two weeks--I'm highly sensitive. So no TV recap this week, this episode is just me, exploring what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and understanding how that affects my mental health. 

Hey Problem Addicts!

Camp Pleasant and our Killer Campers deserved better! Without a new episode, we swing over to Staten Island to see What We Do In the Shadows and could this be it for our favorite energy vampire Colin Robinson? Also #JusticeforJujubee

Hey Problem Addicts!

Hey Problem Addicts!

After a brief hiatus, I'm back! 

In this episode, I retell the story of accidentally sliding into Nene Leakes' DMs, RIP Gregg. Also, the gay Korean microaggressor who told me he wanted Blasian babies, and then I dive into Netflix's The Circle Season 3. Then we end up on a road trip to Provincetown for an unsolved true crime story about the Lady of the Dunes before some thoughts on American Horror Story. #JusticeforAdinaPorter

Hey Problem Addicts!

I'm done with #GossipGirl, xoxo.

So if you want something highly entertaining and fun to watch stream #OuterBanks season 2 or #Freaky on HBOmax instead!

Hey Problem Addicts!

I hope Gossip Girl gets better, because right now, it's not good. But I'll continue to hate watch it. 

Hey Problem Addicts! 

I survived upstate New York, barely! Listen as I rehash a tale of four long, harsh days of rain, falling trees, a power outage, flash flood warnings and a bear sighting to bring you a recap of a Gossip Girl episode 2 safely from the peace and quiet of Brooklyn.

I also wonder whatever happened to that BMXer I crushed on, thanks for dropping Wild Side last week Normani, and teaching Boomers about Solange Knowles, also known as my favorite Knowles sister.

Hey Problem Addicts!

As promised, it's the bonus episode all about my former job at Prada and how I got into slinging handbags.

This title makes little sense, because I had to split this episode into two parts. 

Why? 

Rain. 

Seriously, it rained so hard I couldn't finish recording. It rained so hard that trees toppled over, knocking out power at the AirBnB my husband I were renting. So Me and You, Housewives and their Handbags Part 2 will be coming soon, unless Mother Nature just kills us all.

Hey Problem Addicts!

You may not be able to tell, but I really did enjoy the reboot of #GossipGirl, I just found it highly implausible. But I hope it continues to air for a long time. And I hope Ak and Max run away together and start an OnlyFans. #teamMakx

Plus, I go full on conspiracy theory with The Encore!
