#RockStarLife: Coffee Break
☕🛸🦇 Hosted by drag rockstar Zenobia Darling, #RockStarLife: Coffee Break is a caffeinated transmission from the haunted edges of Baltimore exploring pop culture, the paranormal, reality TV, beauty culture, queer nightlife, underground art, cryptids, celebrity scandals, and the beautiful chaos of modern life.
👻 Part gossip session, part paranormal field guide, and part cultural commentary roast, the show dives into everything from Bravo meltdowns and haunted locations to internet decay, drag culture, local legends, and the strange theater of modern existence.
📻 Whether flying solo or joined by artists, outsiders, and other creatively feral humans... Zenobia serves up dark humor, sharp observations, punk attitude, and entirely too much coffee—treating ghosts, glamour, and cultural collapse with the same level of importance because they're probably more connected than we'd like to admit and absolutely deserve some major shade.
✨ Sometimes insightful. Sometimes unhinged. Always caffeinated.
📻🦇 Stay tuned... Season Three breaks through the spirit box static this Hott Ghoul Summer 2026.

In this spellbinding episode of #RockStarLife: Coffee Break, I beam down to Carroll County, Maryland, on a rainy December day to chat with the incredible Jessi Hardesty, head of Carroll Community College’s art department and curator of the Phantom Narratives IV exhibition, where my art was featured this fall.
We dive into Jessi’s hauntingly beautiful creations—like wood-carved Ouija boards and witchy tapestries—her ghostly childhood experiences in North Carroll County, and why Appalachia is the most magical part of the country. As former 90s/00s goth kids who are Gemini's, we also bond over goth movies, the explosion of paranormal tourism in places like Salem, MA, and the wave of spooky media that ruled Halloween. Plus, I share my unfiltered take on psychic Sylvia Browne and throw in some cave-diving banter for good measure.
From paranormal art to haunted nostalgia, this episode is a deep dive into spooky creativity and ghostly vibes. 🎧 Tune in now!
