252: "There will always be another guy but there won't always be another friend."

This week, we're unwineding with Emma Paige, host of the Too Much Podcast, and my personal therapist for the next 45+ minutes. We dive deep into the complexities of female friendship, the importance of self-worth, and how our hyper-independence and attachment styles impact our romantic relationships. We explore Emma's 5-box theory, the concept of self-forgiveness, and the moments when we've felt the need to prove ourselves in order to be loved.

If you’ve ever struggled with vulnerability, felt the weight of hyper-independence, or needed a reminder that you deserve the relationships you truly want, this episode is for you.

251: If you've ever wondered if you're settling or asking for too much, this one's for you. This week, I’m joined by best-selling author Amber Rae to talk about her newest memoir, Loveable—available now. In this conversation, we dive into what it really means to settle, why women stay in the wrong relationships (for too long), and the blurry line between feeling like we’re “too much” and “not enough” simultaneously. Amber shares tangible tips for tuning into our intuition and strengthening our ability to differentiate anxiety or fear from inner knowing (which, as an anxious queen, I absolutely loved). I’m so grateful for Amber’s vulnerability, and I can’t wait for you to listen. As always, take whatever you need from this conversation and leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

250: This episode has *big sister* energy all over it. I’m joined by my beautiful friend Laurice Imani to talk dating, self-worth, recovering pick-me behavior, and the invisible ways grief shows up in everyday life. We’re unpacking the difference between dating in our 30s vs. our 20s, feeling lonely inside relationships, the gap between confidence and self-worth, and how losing a parent has completely shifted the way we love. As always, take what you need and leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

245: We’re gathered here today to unpack our May Book Club pick: The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control by Katherine Morgan Schafler. This book lovingly DRAGGED me—and I loved every second of it. I’m so excited to be joined by my friend (and incredible photographer) Remy Hernandez as we dissect our perfectionism: the parts that drive us, fulfill us, and also—the parts that make us feel never good enough (we're working on it). I hope there's something in here you needed & as always, I'd love to know what it was.

244: This week, you're basically on FaceTime with Em (my bff) & I—and it's one of my favorite conversations yet. We're talking heartbreak, hyper-independence, becoming someone you'd want to date, and all the lessons we've learned (and maybe ignored) along the way.

A few dating & relationship mantras you'll hear us say in this episode:

+ if it's not love, it's a lesson

+ why don't you think you're worthy of the relationship of your dreams?

+ you attract who you are

+ trust your gut feeling, it's your guiding point

+ your person is looking for you, too

+ when it's meant to be, it'll be

+ two great people don't necessarily make a great relationship

+ if it's not a f*ck yes, it's a no

+ nobody is busier than a man who doesn't care about you

& more.

Hope there's something in this conversation you needed, let us know what it was. LOVE YOU. x

243: Just us this week with a little hi, bye, and advice that has truly altered my brain chemistry. Should we make this a series? Because I could probably record 1,000 of these. This week's advice is for my *fellow* overthinkers and for anyone wanting to have more bravery in their decisions... maybe take a few more risks? Maybe stop underestimating yourself? All of the above? I hope it hits & let me know if it does. LOVE YOU. x
