I’m honored to have NYC-based journalist and author, Carla Sosenko on this week’s #serialshoppershow Podcast. I couldn’t help but stalk Carla after coming across this eye-opening article she penned for #Cosmopolitan and #HarpersBazaar (which clearly went viral) about her personal struggles with compulsive buying disorder. Listen to my candid chat with Carla for the inside scoop about why she spent almost $100,000 on Instagram Shopping… in 6 months. Wait… why isn’t my name on that #HarpersBazaar byline? All joking aside, this week’s jaw-dropping episode is not-to-be-missed. In fact, we had so much to discuss about our dysfunctional buying behavior that I’m posting a second episode with even juicer nuggets the following week. Be sure to order Carla’s memoir, Such a Pretty Face: Good Lessons From Bad Moments in an Unconventional Body, which will be published by Dial in spring 2025. Enjoy the show!
