In this episode, I’m joined by Sunny, a Syracuse junior who’s doing it all — media, Greek life, friendships, and dating — and somehow staying deeply self-aware through it. We get real about college dating culture, situationships, exclusivity, and how proximity can blur the line between liking someone and just being attached. Sunny opens up about toxic dynamics, knowing when to walk away, and learning to choose herself before a relationship.

This week on Cohosts for Life, Jake and I catch up on a very full week from our 20 week challenge updates to Barkley’s unexpected ER visit, my first real ski trip in years, and why I am now determined to get Jake on the mountain.

Brandon, from the episode “How to Not Lose Hope That Your Person Is Still Out There,” is back today to share what’s shifted since we last spoke. We talk about dating in your late 30s after divorce, dating app burnout, asking someone out in real life, and the quiet pressure of timelines around marriage and kids. Brandon opens up about holding hope while preparing for different futures, redefining success, and learning how to build a meaningful life—even when it doesn’t look the way you imagined.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Chris Moore, psychology professor and author of The Power of Guilt, to unpack why guilt shows up so intensely in dating, friendships, and relationships, and why it’s not always a bad thing. We talk about the difference between guilt and shame, why women tend to feel guilt more deeply, how guilt can keep us stuck in dating situations longer than we should, and when it’s actually a signal for healthy relationship repair versus something to let go of.

 Jake and I talk through our 20-week challenges, from ambitious reading goals to posting trial reels and what consistency actually looks like in real life. I open up about my ongoing social media identity questions, the pressure to “pick a lane.” Plus, we answer listener questions, including mixed signals after a first date, getting ghosted, deciding if you’re ready for a dog while single, and navigating a potential relationship with someone mid-career pivot.

Blair West joins me to talk about timing, chemistry, and what actually makes a relationship last. We get into slow burns, dating someone who isn’t “ready,” and how to protect your heart without closing it off. Blair shares her real-life love story—from college crush to marriage—and what partnership looks like beyond the honeymoon phase. This one’s about choosing someone who shows up when life gets hard, not just when it’s fun. Follow Blair on IG @_blair_west and TT @blairwest113

In this episode, I’m joined by Liz Woods to talk about love, long-term relationships, and what it’s really like to grow up with your partner instead of dating around. We get into meeting your person young, navigating years of long distance, and how friendships shift when you’re the only one not in the dating trenches. Liz shares what she’s learned watching her single friends date, why being “chosen” matters more than chemistry, and what actually makes a relationship last. Whether you’re single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this conversation will make you rethink how we define relationship success.

On this week's Cohosts For Life ep, we’re sharing a recent conversation about mental load, showing up differently in a relationship, and what it actually means to “step up.” Jake takes the lead on the mic as we talk about unlearning old patterns, sharing the doing, and why small, intentional actions matter more than big promises. We also introduce our new 20-week challenge: one hard thing each week, on purpose. From deleting social apps and waking up early to cooking all meals at home, journaling daily, and pushing ourselves out of autopilot. DM us or drop a Spotify comment of more challenge ideas you have.

It’s the first episode of 2026 and we’re starting with a real conversation about dating, happiness, and letting go of the timeline we thought we were on. Stella Stephanopoulos joins me to talk about being single without spiraling, why wanting a relationship isn’t the same as needing one, and what dating actually looks like when you stop chasing validation. We get into red flags, confidence, approaching people IRL, and why building a full life comes first. If you’re entering the new year single and questioning everything, this one’s for you.

In our annual end-of-year episode, Camila Vola turns the mic on me for an honest reflection on a year defined by slowing down. We talk about career pressure, burnout, marathon setbacks, marriage, and the tension between real impact and chasing numbers. I share what I learned about boundaries, growth, and choosing meaning over metrics, plus the dating advice I’d give my single self going into 2026.
