This week on Drinking Tea with Monsters, the podcast about OCD and other, less scary monsters, Leela and Pri dive into the world of calming TikTok and Instagram influencers. They'll share who they enjoy following and how to create a cozy experience on social media.Then we break down what exactly is OCD? We start off with a discussion with mental health expert, Omar Bazza, and then jump into Leela's experience with obsessions, compulsions, and ruminations. Then Leela tells us about the time she went to the most haunted pub in the most haunted town in England.


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.
