I’m joined by my childhood best friend Jessie — the one who’s seen me through every confusing situationship, career pivot, and major life change. We’re talking about how she went from friends to married with her high school crush, what it was like when the three of us lived together, and her take on the guys I used to date… versus what she thought when she met Jake. We also answer listener questions about being in different life stages than your friends, falling for a friend, and how to support someone through heartbreak.

Author and Relationship Expert Dr. Morgan Cutlip joins me to unpack the invisible load we carry in relationships—why emotional and mental labor often falls on one partner, and how to create more balance without resentment.

In this episode, I sit down with Emma Paige, host of 'too much.', to explore the twists, turns, and personal growth that led her to the love of her life. Emma opens up about her journey from LA to New York, the heartbreaks that shaped her, and how a chance meeting turned into something real with her boyfriend, Mr. Right. We dive deep into what it really takes to move on from relationships that aren’t serving you, why being too much is subjective, and why friendship breakups can be just as heartbreaking as romantic ones.

In this episode, I sit down with executive coach and author Keren Eldad to explore how the same perfectionism and overachievement that drive success can also sabotage our relationships. We discuss the trap of seeking external validation in dating, how people-pleasing can lead to unfulfilling connections, and why high achievers often struggle with vulnerability and intimacy. Keren shares powerful insights on breaking free from the need to "perform" in love, embracing authenticity, and building relationships that feel as good as they look on paper. If you've ever felt like you're chasing an ideal in dating rather than real connection, this conversation is for you.
