Unbothered

It’s the annual Unbothered true crime episode!! My friend and actress Shaylaren Hilton joins me for disturbing cases, ghost stories, and plenty of tangents that have us crying laughing… before we’re reaching for the sage.

We get into the murder of Dorothy Donovan, John Wayne Gacy’s horrifying history, and Jack Unterweger, the convicted murderer turned journalist reporting on the very crimes he was committing. Plus, a terrifying listener story, my own sketchy encounter with a possible murderer on Mulholland Drive, and a possession witnessed firsthand… this one is a long one, so buckle up!!!

Happy Halloween, guys. Stay safe and always trust your gut. 👻

Time to exorcise the ghosts of boyfriends past: the liar who turned you into a detective, the almost-boyfriend who made commitment feel like an unreasonable request, and the critic whose opinions somehow became your inner monologue. He’s already wasted enough of your time. He doesn’t get to haunt the place. Let's light some f*cking sage.

I’m tired of being told to be careful. We already are, and every woman I know still has a story. Today I’m sharing what is the most vulnerable thing I’ve ever recorded, for the women who know this feeling and the men we need to listen.

In the wake of the Cornell allegations, I wanted to talk about the exhaustion so many of us are feeling. The precautions, the victim blaming, and the burden of constantly thinking about our safety.

When do we start demanding that men hold each other accountable with the same urgency that we tell women to protect themselves?

You wrote in, and Chloe is answering. This week’s inbox includes an ex who became a changed man the second it was too late, a casual fling whose personality disappeared after sex, a bedroom problem no one wants to say out loud, and a bride-to-be who discovered her fiancé had a secret life. Let’s get into it.

He’s avoidant. She’s projecting. Or maybe they’re just being weird? Chloe sits down with The Psychology of Your 20s host Jemma Sbeg to talk about why uncertainty makes us obsessed, when psychoanalyzing turns into excuse-making, and why understanding someone doesn’t mean you have to tolerate them. Plus: unavailable men, healthy love, and the suspiciously productive power of heartbreak.

If you want a family someday, it’s almost impossible not to do the math backward and wonder if you’re already behind when you haven’t met the love of your life by 25.

Somewhere along the way, that ticking clock can start creeping into the way women date, the way women leave, and what we're willing to settle for. You might find yourself staying a little too long in the wrong relationship because starting over means throwing the whole timeline back into the unknown.

So this week, Chloe is unpacking the biological clock itself: what actually happens to fertility as we move through our late 20s and 30s, why everyone is obsessed with 35, AMH, egg freezing, and how to have an ideal timeline without letting it become a deadline.

Today I’m giving you my full dissertation on the chill girl because I have THOUGHTS. She’s low-maintenance, easygoing, never needy, never difficult. But how much of being “chill” is actually confidence, and how much is abandoning your own needs before someone else gets the chance to reject them?

Let’s get into where the chill girl came from, why women are so afraid of being “difficult,” and what it actually looks like to retire her for good.
