SOLO: My Grandma's Dementia

May 14, 2024 21:00 - 58 minutes - 109 MB

Those of you who have been following me since the Health Is Hell era will probably remember the iconic videos I used to post with my beloved Grandma Jean. To the outside the world, she and I seemed to have the warmest, funniest, most loving relationship, and for the majority of my life we did. The truth was, though, those videos were made as my coping mechanism during the beginning of her long and painful struggle with Dementia. 4 years later, my grandma is no longer my grandma: she's cold, ...

SOLO: Party Princess, Part 2

April 24, 2024 17:09 - 51 minutes - 96.7 MB

Picking up where we left off in part 1 of my party girl past...in 2018, after my now-infamous Katz’s Deli bottom-outing incident, I moved to LA for 3 months and experimented with Cali Sobriety. It was…wild, and definitely nowhere near sober! When the pandemic came, I explored proper sobriety, and it taught me so much about my ADHD and ability (or lack thereof) to self-regulate and soothe. In fact, it completely changed my life. I dive into how ‘raw dogging reality’ has gotten me back in touc...

SOLO: Party Princess, Pt 1

March 26, 2024 15:38 - 57 minutes - 132 MB

Gossip Girl, here - your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite...no, but actually. If you've ever wondered what it was like to grow up in New York City, you've come to the right place. We're foraying DEEP into my party girl past over the next 2 weeks, and for part 1, let's throw it back to 2008-2011: the golden years of Jeffrey Campbells, tabloid mayhem, Indie Sleaze, Gossip Girl, and - how lucky was I? - Ali in high school. Starting from my very first memory o...

SOLO: What The F*ck Is "Adulthood?"

March 04, 2024 05:00 - 1 hour - 148 MB

I've been getting a lot of feedback on Instagram (mostly from far-right men, duh) about how it's "embarrassing" and "pathetic" that I've admitted to sometimes still feeling like a teenager at 30. Not only does a husband, child, and home ownership sound deeply unappealing to me right now, but I don't think those things actually constitute an "adult." I know I can't be the only person out there who isn't following, and doesn't necessarily want to follow, all of society's guidelines for how to ...

SOLO: On Pretty Privilege & Sex Appeal

February 05, 2024 22:45 - 57 minutes - 131 MB

In our sex-crazed, beauty-obsessed culture, why is it still so taboo for beautiful women to admit to CONSCIOUSLY (and shamelessly!) using their looks for personal, professional, and financial gain? The truth is, my appearance has been responsible for the majority of what I was able to achieve throughout my 20s — not just professionally as an on-air host, model (groan), and content creator, but in navigating a wide variety of global social scenes and subcultures, too. Though who I am as a per...

SOLO: My Medical Abortion

January 23, 2024 17:34 - 1 hour - 156 MB

2 years ago, I found myself in perhaps the most taboo situation: unexpectedly pregnant, and making the subsequent decision to have a medical abortion. I was 28, in a happy relationship, and financially stable: from the outside people would say I was equipped to see, and “should have" seen, my pregnancy through. Emotionally, however, I was - and am - far from ready to be a mother. The decision to abort was easy; admitting to it publicly was not. In light of the ongoing battle over women's rep...

SOLO: My ADHD & Anxiety

January 17, 2024 18:16 - 58 minutes - 133 MB

I've noticed an increasing trend on social media, especially TikTok, where people are creating personal brands out of mental health struggles - specifically ADHD, anxiety, and mood/behavioral disorders. Visibility is really important, but this approach rubs me the wrong way. When you have ADHD as an adult, it's rarely taken seriously - in fact, it's often glamorized, made the butt of jokes, or seen as an excuse for being lazy. In truth, ADHD and anxiety has kinda screwed up my life, causing ...

SOLO: On Burnout & Failure

January 08, 2024 05:37 - 58 minutes - 134 MB

Welcome back to Tales of Taboo! I've been so inspired by the past 3 years of being a safe space for your unconventional and so-called 'unacceptable' confessions, that I feel compelled to spend Season 5 speaking solo and on-the-record about my own. To kick it off, we're talking about failing. Or rather, "failing." Going into 2023, I felt like I had it all: a great partner, a six-figure hosting career, and the best body of creative work I'd ever produced. Then, everything disappeared. At the...

Modeling Industry Confessions

November 08, 2023 20:20 - 1 hour - 134 MB

The Fashion episode was such a hit that I decided to revamp and re-release another set of industry-related confessions. With casting help from DeuxMoi, we're coming out from behind the scenes and exploring life in front of the camera as a model. I open the episode with my own Tales of Taboo about my lulz attempt at a postgrad modeling career (you'll scream at the very off-brand national campaign I booked), and a few encounters with agents and casting directors that, as the kids say, 'alter...

Fashion Industry Confessions

November 01, 2023 14:37 - 1 hour - 178 MB

Which famous designer refused to pay for $100,000 worth of samples? What major eyewear company has a Chief Financial Officer with no credentials besides being a party magician? Where does being over a size 6 and an A cup make you "fat?" What really happens behind the scenes at Fashion Week? I LOVE clothes. I love theatrics. I love escapism. What I do not love is when some people suffer greatly to compensate for others’ greed. On the heels of New York Fashion Week, I decided to revamp and re...

Bisexuality Confessions

September 18, 2023 19:50 - 53 minutes - 123 MB

What do you think of when you think bisexuality? Promiscuous behavior? Polyamory? Lying, cheating spouses? Midlife crises? Burning Man? Or maybe you think of…nothing: perhaps the biggest misconception is that middle-of-the-spectrum sexual orientation doesn’t really exist. Au contraire, I believe that we’re ALL a little gay - some of us have just chosen, or found the freedom, to explore it. In honor of Bisexuality Awareness Week, I decided to revamp and re-release this legendary episode fro...

Green Card Marriage Confessions

August 07, 2023 17:57 - 1 hour - 140 MB

I open this week's episode with my own candid confessions about the challenges of my former long-distance relationship, and how that experience + watching 90 Day Fiance led me to become uncharacteristically judgmental of people in green card relationships. I'm so grateful for our anonymous confessors, who successfully expanded and changed my mind by calling and writing in with accounts of their international engagements & marriages...and divorces :) (8:43) We hear from Americans with partn...

Age Gap Dating Confessions

June 26, 2023 23:32 - 53 minutes - 122 MB

Couples with large age gaps can cause polarizing reactions. On the one hand, age is a number and love is love - it knows no bounds or rules. Should one be lucky enough to find it, it’s always worth diving into head first, no? On the other, when one partner has lived considerably more life, is it kosher to subject a less experienced and often more impressionable partner to their baggage? Is desiring a younger woman implicative of some emotional deficit?  I open this week's episode with my ow...

Ethical Non-Monogamy Confessions

May 08, 2023 18:17 - 1 hour - 150 MB

Ethical Non-Monogamy and Polyamory are becoming increasingly popular relationship structures (or, at least, are now more commonly discussed), but they're controversial and deeply misunderstood. Most people see ENM as glorified cheating: an excuse to have one's cake and eat it too. The acronym often conjures images of suburban swingers, wild sex parties in Bushwick or San Francisco, Burning Man, and, like, sister wives, and I have to admit that there was a time where I made similar assumption...

Boutique Fitness Confessions

April 26, 2023 15:22 - 1 hour - 165 MB

Exercise gives many of us a sense of control, stability, and discipline. Boutique fitness, with its fancy methodologies and curated lights, scents, and sounds, capitalizes on another, more elusive (and highly monetizable) feeling: purpose. For up to $50 per class, we’re not only sold a vision of our best body, but also our best self. We’re asked to set intentions, repeat affirming mantras, and see squatting and sprinting as a chance to ‘conquer the impossible’. The word 'community' is thrown...

High-End Hospitality Confessions

April 17, 2023 22:11 - 1 hour - 73.9 MB

$10,000 bottles of wine! 15 hour workdays! All-night cocaine benders! Psychotic head chefs! It's Season 4 of Tales of Taboo! This week, we're exploring the high-octane world of high-end dining: the kinds of establishments that (literally) inspire books like Sweetbitter and movies like The Menu, where reservations are impossible and Chef is spelled with a capital C. I kick us off by telling MY most absurd tales as a diner in fancy restaurants: a college friend's outpatient rehab in Chicago...

Adrian Dannatt: The Most Interesting Man You've Never Heard Of

January 09, 2023 20:35 - 54 minutes - 74.3 MB

It's the last episode of Season 3! Can you believe?! What an honor to end it by interviewing one of the most brilliant and unique individuals I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. According to his professional bio, Adrian Dannatt is an actor, editor, curator, writer, artist and obituarist. I'd rather just call him a Bon Vivant: a collector of experiences, art, and people. He's also perhaps the only person on the planet less afraid of "stranger danger” than me. I met Adrian after stumbling in...

SOLO: What I've Learned About Love

January 03, 2023 19:21 - 1 hour

I recorded this episode back in the spring of 2022. I felt so inspired by, at peace with, and safe in my new relationship (which I was then 6 months into) that I spontaneously felt compelled to talk about dating in my 20s, and candidly analyze many of the mistakes, failures, and instances of hurt that led to attracting healthy love at 28. That relationship has since come to an end, but my 'non-toxic dating' era has not - I am permanently changed. <3 By admitting (taboo!) to a long history of ...

Dysfunctional Family Confessions (Happy Holidays)

December 19, 2022 15:34 - 53 minutes - 74 MB

There’s a narrative jammed down our throats year after year, incessantly, everywhere we go, that the holidays are supposed to be “the most wonderful time." Ironically, such a narrative often ends up reminding us (or forcing us to acknowledge) the things we do NOT have, and the ways in which life has disappointed us or not met our expectations. This is especially true when it comes to family members, who are placed at the center of all the songs, movies, and rituals. The truth is, way more peo...

Whitney Port: Tales From A Mid 2000s Icon

December 13, 2022 03:48 - 58 minutes - 80.7 MB

When Whitney Port agreed come on the pod, 13 year old me - and late 20s me, tbh - pinched herself. An objective icon of the 2000s/2010s, Whitney was one of the only women on reality TV who built a wildly successful brand off of poise, elegance, and intellect - things that don't traditionally equate to great ratings within narrative nonfiction. Not the overt and degenerate type of taboo we've come to expect on this show, perhaps, but a fascinating taboo nonetheless. Whit and I went deep on the...

Sex Club Confessions

December 05, 2022 16:49 - 57 minutes - 79.3 MB

What do you think of when you hear 'sex club'? Predatory men? Deviant behavior? An unhinged, unsanitary, Ancient Roman-style orgy? I would liken it more to highly participatory immersive theatre - a contained place to become a different person for the night, or the person you secretly wish you could be. With a definitive start and end and (often) a price tag, the transactional element allows for very real physical, emotional, even spiritual experiences, with less real-life consequences. This ...

Jason Moody: A Big Heart & A 9 Inch D*ck

November 28, 2022 17:12 - 1 hour - 94.3 MB

Jason Moody (https://twitter.com/JasonMoodyxxx) is an adult film star I met at the PornHub Awards afterparty in 2018. It's been a long time since I initially released our interview on my old podcast Health Is Hell (I die at the way we talk about this "new platform called OnlyFans!"), but Jason's worldview and wisdom are just as poignant as ever. Join us as we laugh and flirt our way through his life story - leaving Israel at 15, joining the army, selling women's shoes in China, traveling thro...

Porn Star Confessions

November 21, 2022 05:00 - 53 minutes - 122 MB

What do you think of when you think ‘porn star’? Party girls with f*cked-up childhoods? Sexual trauma? Misogyny and abuse?  This week’s contributors, both anonymous and on-the-record, dismantle those stereotypes HARD by creating and participating in adult content that empowers them, provides them with bodily autonomy...and makes them very wealthy. We’ll hear from Marykate Moss (formerly Mackenzie, IG & Twitter: @marykate_moss), a Hustler covergirl whose videos have over 100 million views on P...

Teacher Confessions

November 14, 2022 14:16 - 1 hour - 141 MB

What’s it REALLY like to manage a school shooting? Are students with special needs a "lost cause?" How does under-funding actually affect students and teachers? Are celebrity children as entitled as we think? Confession: I recorded the intro you're about to hear ages ago, before receiving any submissions (NOT a usual occurrence but alas, I had taken my Concerta and was feeling extra productive). I thought I'd be curating a lighthearted inquiry into the lives of teachers, proving those authori...

Katie Maloney: Life Under Vanderpump's Rules

November 07, 2022 13:16 - 47 minutes - 109 MB

I have a confession to make: I’ve never watched Vanderpump Rules. (Shock, horror, I know.) But Katie Maloney and I met when I was a guest on her podcast (listen here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/youre-gonna-love-me-with-katie-maloney/id1516710301?i=1000559075815) and hit it off right away. Then, I started seeing endless stories about her divorce from longtime partner (and fellow OG cast member) Tom Schwartz, and interviewers asking her the same invasive, insensitive questions over a...

SOLO: On Anxiety + A Tarot Reading with Anna Toonk

July 04, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour

It'd be weird not to feel at least a little unsteady in the current state of our world, but suffering from anxiety as an illness is a lot different than just 'feeling anxious'. I've crumbled under the weight of that illness for many years, and decided to open up about it. Then, in a quest for some answers and direction after emerging from my most recent panic spiral, I bring in the lovely Anna Toonk (Instagram: @annatoonk) to do my first ever Tarot card reading on-air! The insane caffeine spr...

Megan Barton-Hanson: The Truth About Love Island

June 20, 2022 18:17 - 1 hour - 59.8 MB

What is it like to become a celebrity overnight? How does it feel to have an entire nation pick you apart? Is the fame & glamorous lifestyle reality TV affords worth all of the pain? Anyone who watches Love Island knows Megan Barton-Hanson. Inarguably the star (and villain) of Season 4, Meg has spent years as the obsession of UK tabloids, who can't stop talking about her surgery-altered appearance, wildly successful OnlyFans, and sex life. Behind those headlines, however, is a smart, hilariou...

Herpes Confessions

June 06, 2022 04:00 - 47 minutes - 43.9 MB

We’ve been led to believe Herpes is a “dirty” “STD” — only sluts get it, and when they do, any chance of having sex or finding love is ruined. This episode proves that idea could not be further from the truth.  Our anonymous confessors share varying accounts of contracting HSV1 and HSV2, orally & genitally. From one-off Hinge dates to serious boyfriends to family members kissing their faces as children, no two stories are the same — but each have great insight into battling societal stigma, m...

SOLO: My Birthday/Thoughts on Aging

May 09, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour

Tomorrow (May 10) is my 29th birthday. Truly insane that there are only 365 days left of my twenties, but I am - without question - the best, hottest, and happiest I've ever been. It's SO problematic that we think women 'expire' in their 30s, because life feels like it's just beginning. In this fun n flirty solo episode, I reflect on the emotional effects of the past year's adventures (moving out of my parents' house! Going blonde! ...Partying at Versailles!), the path to finding my boyfriend...

These Twins Escaped Mormonism (feat. MotherMary)

May 02, 2022 15:55 - 46 minutes - 42.3 MB

Identical twin sisters Elyse & Danielle form a synthwave band called MotherMary (@mothermarymusic) - but before becoming pop stars, they escaped MORMONISM in Missoula, Montana! In this reworked episode from the earliest days of my former podcast Health Is Hell, the twins join me and my friend Graham in a roaringly hilarious interview about growing up in a cult (and a family of 12 children!), teenage marriage, sexual tension with bishops, “seeing parties" and "soaking," Jesus’ foot fetish, wh...

[Paris Hilton &] Troubled Teen Industry Confessions

April 18, 2022 23:56 - 1 hour - 63 MB

The "Troubled Teen Industry” is an elusive, corrupted, for-profit network of schools, programs, rehabs, and residences meant for "unstable," "out of control," "promiscuous," and drug-addicted young people. Some of these programs are notorious for kidnappings, forced medication, even brainwashing; all of them use emotionally or physically violent therapy and control tactics. These schools came to mainstream recognition with the release of Paris Hilton's 2020 documentary This Is Paris. In it, s...

Abortion Confessions

April 08, 2022 21:49 - 59 minutes - 54.1 MB

First-person accounts of abortion are very difficult to find, and most of the essays and anecdotes available are riddled in guilt and grief. They often resemble an apology letter to the world (or oneself), rather than an honest description of a controversial medical procedure. Secrecy, shame, and lack of nuance within abortion rhetoric is what makes it so taboo. Here you will find a collection of anonymous stories - ages 17 to 34 in the US, United Kingdom, Ecuador, and Germany - showing the r...

SOLO: My Abortion

April 04, 2022 14:17 - 1 hour

I, the "Princess of Taboo,” found myself in the single most taboo situation last month: unexpectedly pregnant, and making the subsequent decision to have an abortion. I’m 28, in a happy relationship, educated and financially stable: from the outside people would say I’m equipped to, and “should,” see my pregnancy through. Emotionally, however, I’m far from ready to be a mother. The decision to abort was easy; admitting to it publicly was not. Many women in media, and throughout liberal areas ...

Plastic Surgery

March 14, 2022 16:30 - 1 hour - 66.8 MB

Plastic surgery is more commonplace than ever, yet remains deeply taboo. Very few people are willing to openly discuss the realities: what drives them to want it, the intense recovery process, and whether or not physical alterations actually change mental and emotional wellbeing long-term. This week, we’re cutting deep — no pun intended. Encouraged by controlling mothers, modeling agents, and media-fueled beauty standards, our anonymous confessors got labiaplasties, breast reductions, nose ...

Escorts

March 02, 2022 20:18 - 52 minutes - 48.4 MB

Which famous Washington D.C. members-only club is secretly filled with sex workers? Which politicians under Trump regularly visited rub and tugs? Which drug-abusing hotel heir brought an escort to Miami just to watch Wheel of Fortune with him? I'm deeply annoyed by the conflation of all prostitution with sex trafficking, and the ongoing narrative that women who exchange physical & emotional intimacy for money were either forced into it or chose the profession as a result of severe trauma.

Nightclub Bottle Waitresses

February 09, 2022 02:37 - 1 hour - 67.9 MB

Which professional soccer player shoved a $20 bill in a waitress’ mouth? Which famous actress with legal troubles had a waitress pretend to be her to evade the paparazzi? Which talent manager promised a waitress a spot on Love Island in exchange for sex? As someone who’s been clubbing for 13 years, I’ve long been fascinated with bottle waitresses. You know - those gorgeous girls in skintight dresses bringing over the magnums of champagne and sparklers. I saw their job as a tremendous positi...

Drug Dealers

January 29, 2022 00:20 - 45 minutes - 41.2 MB

Ever wonder what it’s really like to be a DRUG DEALER? This week’s anonymous confessors operate(d) throughout a variety of countries and circumstances. One lived in a house with 100 weed plants, and distributed to dispensaries in California before recreational legalization. Another sold Molly to club partiers — including an unnamed famous DJ and Vice President’s son (!!). A husband & wife, LSD-dealing duo talk about providing their kids with a privileged life, but wrestling with what happen...
