Are You An Avoidant? episodes

  • The Ick Is a Deactivation Strategy, Bestie
    He claps when the plane lands. She breathes audibly. He says "excited" with too many syllables. The ick — sudden disgust that ends good things over nothing.

    Chloe and Sasha sort every ick into two piles: REAL (values clash, trust it) vs RECRUITED (your brain manufacturing disgust to justify distance). The three tests — values, friend, frequency — plus the 48-hour rule that kills every fake ick by Sunday.

    Hosts: Chloe (reformed avoidant) + Sasha (anxious bestie with the research). New episodes every Saturday.

  • Dismissive vs Fearful: Which Avoidant Is He
    Same sentence. Two completely different men. "I don't do labels" — but WHY?

    Chloe and Sasha map the two flavors of avoidance: the dismissive locked door (steady, calm, permanently unavailable) vs the fearful revolving door (intense, swingy, 2am paragraphs). The field guide to spotting each, the Bartholomew receipts, and five scripts — the right tool for the right door.

    Hosts: Chloe (reformed avoidant) + Sasha (anxious bestie with the research). New episodes every Saturday.

  • Green Flags Avoidants Misread as Beige
    Green flags are real. They are everywhere. And if you keep missing them, the problem is not your eyesight — it is your training data.

    Chloe and Sasha flip last week's episode on its head: nine green flags in men, rated out of ten, with the avoidant verdict on each. Why does a man who plans feel boring? Why does "good morning" give you the ick? Tala's story, the gut problem (your gut is a historian with trauma, not a psychic), the Simpson receipts, and four scripts for dating the Greg instead of running from him.

    Hosts: Chloe (reformed avoidant) + Sasha (anxious bestie with the research). New episodes every Saturday.

  • Are You the Avoidant? The Five Signs You Keep Explaining Away
    Are you the avoidant? Chloe and Sasha open with the five signs you keep explaining away — the slow replies you call 'busy,' the ick you call 'standards,' the situationships you call 'chill.'

    This episode roasts each sign with love, unpacks the attachment psychology underneath, and hands you the exact words to say instead of disappearing. Featuring the first Situationship Autopsy and a text decoder for 'sorry just saw this.'

    Hosts: Chloe (reformed avoidant) + Sasha (anxious bestie with the research). New episodes every week.
