Breaking the Rules of Art & Identity

This week, I sit down with Virginia Swenson, an LA artist who doesn’t just create—They curate entire experiences that challenge nostalgia, community, and self-introspection. From working at my favorite local coffee shop to constantly evolving their identity and artistic approach, Virginia embodies what it means to be a modern-day creative in Los Angeles.
We get deep about breaking traditional art rules, embracing change, and navigating the ever-shifting landscape of self-expression. This conversation is real LA talk—raw, reflective, and filled with love.
Plus, if you love reality TV, stay tuned for a new episode of Bravoholics Anonymous dropping later this week!

Bravoholics Anonymous #4: Traitors Finale Predictions, Doomscroll Diaries & Summer House Drama

This week’s episode of Bravoholics Anonymous is all about the road to The Traitors finale! I dive deep into the Big Brother history behind Danielle and Britney, mourn the loss of Tom from the game (RIP to a legend), and make my final predictions for how it will all go down.
Plus, I’m introducing a brand-new segment: DOOMSCROLL DIARIES, where I share the hottest TikTok clips I found this week—because if I had to see them, so do you.
And of course, we couldn’t skip Summer House—I break down the New York Times article that had Ciara fired up before filming and officially put Jesse in the dog house. Buckle up, Bravoholics, because this episode is packed!

BRAVOHOLICS ANONYMOUS #3 with Thomas Norman: TRAITORS! FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE CIARA! SNL50 and Katie Maloney loves Mayo

This week on Bravoholics Anonymous, I’m joined by the one and only Thomas Aubrey Norman, whose impressions never fail to give me a full-body, can’t-breathe belly laugh. We’re breaking down Traitors US SSN 3 (Episode 8) , where Ciara is looking more and more like a sitting duck with Sam and Ivar coming for her—does she have any allies left, or is it game over? Then, I share my thoughts on SNL50—who delivered, who flopped.... And finally, we have to talk about Katie Maloney’s mayo commercial for Something About Her—because nothing says “elevated sandwiches” like a full-on love letter to mayonnaise.
Buckle up, grab a martini (or a sandwich), and let’s get into it!

Last Call for Sanity: Bartending Horror Stories | Meet My Friends

This week on Meet My Friends, I’m joined by my pal Jared Ross, a seasoned bartender and server with more horror stories than a Yelp review section. We’re diving deep into the wild, frustrating, and downright unbelievable moments from the service industry—entitled customers, impossible orders, the dreaded Sunday brunch shift, and the chaos of working behind the bar on a busy Saturday night. Whether you’ve worked in the industry or just enjoy hearing about the madness, this episode is full of laughs, rants, and the kind of war stories only fellow hospitality workers can truly understand.
And don’t forget—tomorrow, a brand-new episode of Bravoholics Anonymous drops, where I’m breaking down all the latest drama on Traitors! 🍸🔥

BRAVOHOLICS ANONYMOUS #2: Summer House, Traitors, Viall Files Podcast

Bravoholics Anonymous: Fashion, Feuds & Fighting for Survival
This week, we’ve got a little bit of everything—red carpet glamour, reality TV chaos, and some truly questionable fashion choices. First up, Dorit Kemsley turned every head at the People’s Choice Awards, and we need to talk about it. Then, Summer House is finally back for Season 9, and I’m diving into the premiere with all my unfiltered thoughts. Who’s thriving? Who’s already flopping? Let’s get into it.
Over in Scotland, Traitors is heating up with Boston Rob battling to stay in the game, and that wedding challenge? A crime against fashion. And finally, Britney Spears' ex, Sam Asghari, went on The Viall Files podcast to spill some so-called tea, but was it worth the listen? I took one for the team, so you don’t have to. Hit play and let’s break it all down!

Porn Pays but Hollywood Calls

Porn Pays but Hollywood Calls: A Deep Dive into LA’s Wild Side
In this episode of Meet My Friends, I sit down with my friend (and building manager) John Austin—an actor, a hustler, and a man with a résumé that includes directing adult films in the golden era of San Fernando Valley porn (2001-2006). We get into the nitty-gritty of what it was really like behind the scenes of the industry, from fast money and wild sets to the surprising professionalism of it all. But John wasn’t in it for the long haul—Hollywood was always calling.
We also talk about the struggle of chasing acting dreams in Los Angeles, the side gigs that keep you afloat, and, of course, what it’s like to manage a building full of eccentric tenants while doing chin-ups on the garage door track. Whether you’re fascinated by the adult film industry, the grind of an aspiring actor, or just love a good LA survival story, this episode is full of candid moments, wild anecdotes, and a behind-the-curtain look at a time and place that defined an era.
Press play and get ready for a story that’s as unexpected as it is unforgettable.

BRAVOHOLICS ANONYMOUS #1: Summer House, RHOBH, Traitors

Bravoholics Anonymous: A Summer House Rewatch, RHOBH Showdown & Traitors Predictions
Welcome to Bravoholics Anonymous, where we don’t just watch Bravo—we analyze, obsess, and, let’s be honest, judge a little. In this episode, I’ve gone deep into Summer House—like, real deep. Since the new season premieres on February 12, I decided to finally watch the first three seasons (for the first time!) and do a full rewatch from the beginning. I’m breaking down every roommate, where they started, where they are now, and whether I would actually want to spend a weekend in the Hamptons with them. Spoiler: probably not.
Then, we have to talk RHOBH. The tension between Dorit and Kyle is at an all-time high, and I am fully choosing a side. Plus, could it be that I’m actually loving Sutton? Her ego is out in full force, and for once, I might not be mad about it.
And finally, we check in on Traitors—who’s playing the smartest game, who’s in danger, and who I’m officially rooting for to take home the win. It’s a packed episode full of Reality TV chaos, so grab a Loverboy, settle in, and let’s get into it!

10 Things I Hate About Ghosting

Ghosting & Gabbing with Screenwriter and bestie Alexandria Walters! 
She joins the pod to tell us about the guy she was recently seeing... that ghosted her. We also talk about how to bring a little Rom Com into your life (especially if your single this year), and live like the main character you are!!
This week on NEIGHBORHOOD GOSSIP, I share what I overheard in line at Erewhon (Hint: We Still Don't Trust Personal Trainers). 
Also, there was so so much to share in regards to Reality TV/The Bravo of it all, so I made a second bonus episode you can find right after this one. <3
