What happens when Cleopatra and Marie Antoinette spill the tea on Kim Kardashian? A witty, fictional roundtable turns into an exploration of conspicuous consumption, the leisure class, and what our spending habits say about our souls and personal style.

In this premiere episode, we serve satire with substance—starting with a cheeky imagined convo between history’s most iconic It Girls and ending with real talk: How can insights from philosophers like Thorstein Veblen and modern psychology help us reclaim our relationship with money, status, and personal style?

Whether you’re a soft life enthusiast or just tired of impulse buying things you don’t even like—this episode is your guilt-free guide to personal style, self-discovery, and the sometimes messy joy of wanting things.
