Episode Forty Three – Mall Madness
April 6, 2025
In this episode, I take a brutally honest stroll down memory lane, revisiting the awkward and emotionally chaotic years of growing up in the 90s—from gaining weight during the height of the heroin chic era to flipping through Delia’s catalogs that didn’t carry my size. I talk Catholic school uniforms (aka: the origin of my hatred for skirts), the pain of wanting to be “normal,” and the rebellion that led me to proudly love Depeche Mode while everyone else screamed over Backstreet Boys. It’s about puberty, pop culture, and finding yourself by embracing your inner misfit.
