Ready or not, let go. This ep was recorded live from my bed (with tea and a hard seltzer), literally an hour before posting. Consider this your late-night voice memo on why we hold on too long, why trusting yourself is the only way forward, and why maybe, just maybe, thank god we don’t always get what we think we want.

Dating the human hot-and-cold? Avoidant attachment explains a lot. We called on licensed marriage and family therapist Stephanie Michaelian (@losangeles.therapy) to help us understand wtf is going on in the mind of an avoidant. We unpack childhood roots, adult red flags, and how to set requests (and boundaries) without losing yourself.

BRING BACK CHALANT MEN. RIP to the “wyd?” text at 7pm. We want plans, effort, and a little emotional devastation. This week we unpack the lost art of the courting phase, how media shaped our expectations, and why consistency is the real grand gesture.

"Do I love them enough? What if I’m making the wrong choice? What if they don't actually love me?" Welcome to the world of Relationship OCD (ROCD). This week, Chloe is joined by therapist + Trust & Thrive podcast host Tara Montazeri to talk about ROCD and the endless loop of doubt it can create. From intrusive thoughts to compulsions, we break down what ROCD looks like, how it impacts love, and tools for riding the wave instead of spiraling.

Hi guys, it’s Chloe. This my first solo episode ever, with just me, a mic, and an easel to keep me company (yes, I Bob Ross'd my way through this). In this ep, I'm talking about co-dependency. I’ve lost myself trying to keep relationships alive, and this is about what happens when you finally decide to hold onto yourself instead. I’m anxious and in my luteal phase, be nice to me!

She almost deleted the DM that would land her on Euphoria. In this unfiltered conversation, Chloe Cherry opens up about the truth behind her viral Faye character, the misconceptions about her past, and the love story that healed her. Turns out, being unapologetically yourself can take you places you didn’t even know were on the map.

If you've ever swallowed your discomfort and ignored your boundaries just to keep the peace, pull up a chair. We talk about narcissistic men all the time. What about the friend who constantly blows up on you, yet you're the one left apologizing? The mom who never takes accountability and makes you question your sanity the second you set a boundary? The sister who made everything a competition, then blamed you for the fallout? Therapist Seana Iwanyk joins us to unpack how narcissism shows up in women, and what happens when you finally stop playing along.

Friends who get weird around guys, never clap when you win, or only hit you up when they need something...yeah, we’ve had them too. Making friends as an adult is weirdly vulnerable and way more complicated than anyone warns you. This week, we’re joined by the wise and wonderful Anastasia Dupee to talk about friendship red flags, low-maintenance lifers, growing out of old dynamics.

Can understanding the science of heartbreak actually help you heal? Heartbreak feels like you’re dying because your brain literally thinks you are. In this episode, we break down what’s really happening in your body post-breakup. Cortisol spikes, dopamine crashes, withdrawal symptoms, and how love literally mimics addiction in the brain. It’s not just emotional, it’s chemical, and we’re here to help you make it out the other side.

Our frontal lobes are fully cooked, and we’ve got a list. No more situationships, gaslighting, or boyfriends who ruin birthdays. We’re done dating people who “like the idea of us,” done playing therapist for people who won’t get help, and done shrinking to make other people comfortable. This episode is a rapid-fire takedown of everything we’re leaving behind now that our prefrontal cortex finally decided to show up.
