My neighbour is going through something…and apparently so am I. I went into this episode thinking I’d be able to organize my thoughts, but somehow I just ended up going down the rabbit hole and freaking myself out.

I’m now questioning my entire existence.

In this episode, we’re talking love bombing, last-minute cancellations, situationships that turn into booty calls, and the delusion we all feed into when a man’s words don’t match his actions.

From “wanna link?” texts to getting stood up and later hit up at 2AM with “come over,” we’re breaking down modern dating for what it really is.

Messy, honest, and slightly unhinged, Marina is saying everything you’re secretly thinking.

In this Ask Me Anything episode, we’re getting into some of the most chaotic relationship dilemmas you guys sent in.

We’re talking friendship betrayals, situationships that last way too long, toxic exes you somehow still miss, and the moment you find your boyfriend on a dating app. Basically… relationship disasters in every possible form.

Honest, a little chaotic, and painfully relatable…Marina has your back.

ITIS BREAKUP SEASONNNN

One day he's decorating the room with roses and planning the perfect Valentine's Day. Three days later he's sitting across from you saying, "we need to talk." Breakups are unexpected and rarely ever make sense in the moment. One minute you're planning a future together, the next you're crying, stalking his socials, and wondering how the same man who never posted suddenly became a gym-selfie influencer surrounded by new girls.

In this episode, I'm talking about the real breakup timeline - why women often feel everything immediately while men seem completely fine...until months later when they suddenly come back. From the bed-rotting phase to the dangerous "maybe he's changed" stage, this is the honest guide to navigating heartbreak, letting go, and finally moving on.

If you're in the trenches right now, this one's for you <3

Eight slices of pie. Getting kicked out of a restaurant. Judgmental stares and zero self-control — funny on the surface, but there’s something deeper underneath. In this episode, I open up about chaotic food phases, burnout cycles, and the uncomfortable reality of body dysmorphia. From taking “before” photos at only eight years old to toxic comments from men and navigating beauty standards that change depending on the country you’re in, the pressure never really stops — especially when you grow up with Instagram and comparison becomes second nature. If you’ve ever felt like a shapeshifter in your own body, embarrassed eating in public, stuck in a binge–restrict cycle, or exhausted from starting over every Monday, this conversation is for you.

Follow along Marina as she kicks off the new year convinced this is finally her moment for self-improvement…only for it to spiral in the most entertaining way possible. From a spontaneous decision that turns into an ex-related disaster, workout routines that humble her in record time, to learning how to enjoy her own company without running for distractions. Marina documents the messy, funny reality of trying to grow up without losing her mind. Equal parts chaos, self-reflection, and accidental life lessons — this is what happens when “New Year, New Me” meets real life.
