  • Ghosts of boyfriends past

    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.

  • How Much More Careful Do Women Have to Be?

    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?

    Content note: Sexual assault and victim blaming.

  • He's just not that into you

    If he’s so into you, why are we still having this conversation?

    Chloe and Julia Kelly are pouring drinks and giving you the tough love your group chat is tired of repeating. He watches every story, gets jealous, and says he misses you. But does he actually make plans? From mixed signals to promises that go nowhere, they're breaking down the excuses we make for men who keep us guessing. Your time and your "perky years" are precious. Let’s stop wasting both.

  • What If Dating Goes Right? (ft. Serena Kerrigan)

    Is he your person, or have you just invested too much time explaining his texts to your friends?

From staying too long to making your boyfriend your entire personality, consider this your guide to investing in yourself, building a life you love, and making room for someone without losing yourself or needing them to complete you.

  • Q&A: He Changed After I Left, Bad In Bed & a Cheating Fiancé

    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.

  • Maybe He’s Avoidant. Maybe He Just Sucks. ft. Jemma Sbeg

    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.

  • Respectfully, f*ck the biological clock

    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.

  • The "chill girl" is a lie

    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.

  • The questions that changed our lives ft. Koreen of We’re Not Really Strangers

    Koreen built a career and sold millions of games by asking people questions they weren’t prepared to answer. This week, my longtime friend and founder of We’re Not Really Strangers sits down with me to trade the questions that changed our lives.

    Somewhere between love, ambition, self-betrayal, and the kind of honesty usually reserved for three martinis in, we get to the answers we’ve been avoiding. Come prepared to ask yourself the hard questions, add a few to your conversational arsenal, and leave knowing yourself a little better.
