Sick, Spiraling, and Stalked in the Steam Room: A Plague Diary

from Currently Cringing

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.
