At first, Dara Fleischer was simply buying clothes.
Then she was hiding the boxes. Lying about the credit card bills. Drowning in debt.
Before she knew it, she’d spent hundreds of thousands of dollars she didn't have and the thrill of buying had been replaced by crushing debt, relentless calls from creditors, lies to the people she loved most, and the terrifying realization that she was about to lose everything that mattered.
At My Limit explores the often-hidden reality of compulsive shopping addiction—an issue affecting a growing number of people in an era of one-click purchases and endless online temptation—and the courage it takes to overcome one of the most misunderstood addictions of our time.
Dara Fleischer is a recovering shopaholic and creator of the Podcast, SerialShopperShow.com. In her former life, she was a seasoned fashion and beauty editor, blogger (Founder of Fashionjunkie.com), style expert, personal shopper and industry spokesperson with over 20 years of experience in omni-channel retail marketing and sales. Dara honed her skills at LOULOU (Canada’s now defunct shopping publication), FASHION Magazine ,InStyle, iVillage, Glam Media, Sephora, Club Monaco, The RealReal and Vente-Priveé / AmEx. Most recently, Dara spearheaded Brand Marketing, In-Store Events and Retail Partnerships at Saks Fifth Avenue, ShopPremiumOutlets.com, and South by Southwest (SXSW / Penske Media). She lives with her husband, teenage boy/girl twins, a mini Australian Labradoodle puppy, and a dwindling Golden Goose sneaker collection (about 100 pairs at last count).
