It's the thought that counts... because the actions add up. In our interpersonal relationships, small habits can make the difference between peace and parting ways. In this episode, we dive into the psychology behind the tiny actions and daily rituals that shape how we connect, love, and trust. From gestures that quietly build closeness to the subtle habits that erode bonds over time, we explore why we notice patterns more than grand gestures and how that can transform friendships, romance, and family dynamics over time.

• Life isn’t always about extremes—it’s not just “I’m struggling” or “I’ve made it.”

• Sometimes you’re in that in-between space where you’re grateful, connected, and doing well, but also asking big questions: Am I capable of my goals? Are certain relationships aligned? How do I love people well without losing myself?

• It’s a mix of richness and restlessness—and that space itself is worth talking about because it’s where most people actually live.

We all know what it feels like to be misunderstood, but there’s another layer: sometimes you’re cast as the villain in someone else’s story not because you are one, but because they need you to be. Especially if they’re manipulative, insecure, or trying to avoid accountability.

Have you ever noticed that even though time has passed, the feeling about that person, place, or thing is still present?

Today's episode takes a trip down memory lane. There's so much that our minds and bodies are processing. And sometimes our body is already preparing for a date it remembers, for an experience it can't forget.

Some people don’t want a relationship with you; they want a relationship with what you can do for them. They show up in tears, in chaos, in need… but vanish in your joy or need for support/ stability. In this episode, we unpack why people only seem to call when they’re in crisis, the subtle emotional contracts that keep you over-giving, and how to set boundaries that protect your energy without losing your compassion.

My podcast is 7 years old today. I didn’t know what I was building 7 years ago. I just knew I had something to say. Thank you for listening—even before the words made sense. This is for you.

Let’s talk about those quotes that look good on Instagram carousels but fall apart when you actually try to live by them. Today, we’re calling out the ‘deep-sounding’ fluff — with love, of course.

We talk a lot about love-bombing in dating—but what about when it happens in friendships? In this episode, we break down friendship bombing: the intense, all-in energy that seems caring at first but turns out to be another form of emotional manipulation. From instant besties to sudden ghosting, this is still attachment theory at work—just dressed in platonic clothing. If you've ever felt confused, drained, or betrayed by a “too-good-to-be-true” friendship… this one's for you.
