At long last, my most requested topic: alcohol. In this episode, I talk about my experience as a 21-year-old who doesn't drink alcohol. In a Q+A format, I explore peer pressure, dealing with skeptics, my favorite non-alcoholic drinks, and more. I made this episode to highlight and reflect on my personal experiences, but I recognize that alcohol is a sensitive topic and different for everybody.

I am somewhat of a TikTok veteran, so I have seen some viral hits in my day. In today's episode, I break down the stories behind my 8 most viral Tik Toks. I use this as a jumping-off point to talk about my relationship to my body, my opinion on iced tea, and my fear of being alone forever.

Helloooo! Welcome to the first of soon-to-be many Claire-apy episodes. In today's episode, I talk about my history on the internet, its downsides, and the more positive ways I engage with it. I dish on Webkinz, mourn the loss of Polyvore and even give some "grown-up" suggestions to those sites. My thoughts may be a little scrambled, but I hope you get something out of this :)
