Welcome to my Podcast! My name is Dara Fleischer and I’m a serial shopper. Shopaholism (a.k.a. Oniomania) has been for as long as I can remember.

I’m guilty of buying and returning (a.k.a. shopping bulimia), often hide how much I spend from my spouse, split clothing payments on multiple credit cards and Buy Now, Pay Later sites, yet continue to shop compulsively for sneakers and dresses despite my dwindling savings account.
