OCD Community & Why It Matters + Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl & the Gothic Origins of Strawberry Hill House

Living with OCD can feel isolating. Community changes that. Here's why it matters and how to find it. This week, Leela and Pri talk about the power of OCD community: why connection is essential to the healing journey, how the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) is building it through events like One Million Steps for OCD, and how you can get involved. Plus: Leela and Pri give their very necessary, very delayed hot takes on Taylor Swift's new album The Life of a Showgirl. Are they the last people on Earth to share their thoughts? Probably. Are the takes still hot? Absolutely. And to close: a gothic detour to Strawberry Hill House in England, the whimsical castle that inspired The Castle of Otranto and gave birth to gothic literature as we know it. Here's hoping your tea is hot and your monsters are chill. ☕ LINKS TO STUFF I'm, like, totally obsessed with... Lauren Graham's Walk of Fame Ceremony.
