The show about OCD and other, less scary monsters. In which we unpack how OCD feels, strategies that can help, and, because OCD is such a heavy topic, some fun stuff too.
Hi, I'm Leela. I have OCD and I want to talk about it! Each week, my sister Pri and I dive into one fun thing we're obsessed with, from pop-culture to trends to something we're reading/watching/listening to. Then we'll unpack a different aspect of OCD. We'll close out each episode by 'Drinking Tea with Monsters' where we'll tell you a story about a spooky supernatural haunted happening. Because nothing gets us out of our anxious brains like a good scare.
So to recap: pop-culture, OCD, ghosts! Join us for Drinking Tea with Monsters.

This week on Drinking Tea with Monsters, the podcast about OCD and other, less scary monsters, we uncover some repressed memories of the fever dream of a TV show from the late 80s, American Gladiator.
Then we continue through the decades and deep dive into the return to TV of 90s heartthrob, Jonathan Taylor Thomas. We get into the weeds about the Home Improvement reunion and Tim Allen's career, from the Santa Claus to Shifting Gears. We've got a controversial take on this hit sitcom!
Then, we take a hopeful look at OCD. We start with a calming exercise that has helped me reduce my anxiety in moments of panic, and we take a look at celebrities who have been successful despite living with the debilitating themes of OCD. We look at what triggered their symptoms and what has worked to help ease them.
Finally, Pri brings us home with a story from Rajasthan, India, when she tells us all about a fort so haunted, it's actually illegal to visit at night, and the ghosts that reside there to make it so.
Grab your blanket and a brew, because we're about to spill the tea on all things pop-culture, OCD, and ghosts.
Here's hoping your tea is hot, and your monsters are chill.
