“Women have a difficult time keeping the guys they like around and men have a hard time getting the girls they want.” 

Ok ladies, we’re revisiting one of my favorite episodes with dating coach & content creator, Ben Hart! Don’t tell him, but he’s one of my favorite voices in the dating space—I find his advice direct, fun, practical, and incredibly honest (which is what we sometimes don’t want but absolutely need). 

Think of this episode as your guide to modern dating—we’re exploring the messy, sometimes confusing early stages where most of us (hi, women who unfortunately date men) start to lose our power. We get into how dating content overload is making us over-intellectualize everything, why we’re obsessed with templates and rules, and what actually matters more than counting the hours between his texts.

We talk: • why we’re all over-consuming dating advice and under-listening to how we actually feel • the difference between being strategic vs. being hyper-tactical and counting every minute between texts • “matching energy,” reacting to his every move, and how that quietly gives your power away • why texting makes us *lose our minds* sometimes • how men are thinking about vulnerability • the art of FLIRTING (and how to get approached out in the wild) • worthiness, self-respect, and identity shifts for the relationship you want

If you want to feel more confident, more calm, and more in your power during the early stages of dating (and beyond), this episode is going to be your new best friend. As always, take whatever you needed today & leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

Your glow-up doesn't need another supplement... or does it?

This week, I'm unwineding with Doctor of Pharmacy and wellness creator Ariana Medizade for a conversation that completely challenged the way I think about health, supplements, stress, and what it actually means to feel good.

I asked Ariana which wellness trends she loves (& which should go away), the truth about supplements, peptides, cortisol, energy drinks (this one hurt me), GLP-1s, and why more information doesn’t always make us healthier.

We also get into something I think so many women can relate to: the pressure to optimize EVERYTHING. From tracking every calorie and macro to chasing the "perfect" wellness routine, we explore how easy it is to lose yourself in the pursuit of being healthy—and how to find a more sustainable middle ground.

We also chat:

• cortisol, stress & women's health
• supplements that are worth it (and which ones aren't)
• peptides, GLP-1s & wellness trends
• energy drinks, caffeine & ADHD
• healthy habits that are secretly hurting you
• the problem with wellness culture online
• creating a routine that actually fits your life
• confidence, self-trust & the real meaning of a glow-up

As always, take whatever you need from this conversation and leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

Why do so many ambitious women still feel like they’re behind… even when they’re doing everything “right”?

In this episode, I’m opening up about ambition, perfectionism, self-worth, productivity, purpose, burnout, and the pressure to constantly become “more.” After one very honest conversation sent me into a spiral about fulfillment and identity, I started questioning pretty much everything. Remy (my podcast engineer and beautiful friend) joins me to chat about the psychology behind high achievement, the emotional weight of never feeling like you’ve done enough, and where I might be looking for bandaids instead of going deeper.

I also talk about:

• perfectionism & fear of failure
• burnout, ambition & identity
• wanting more purpose & meaningful work
• self-worth tied to achievement
• the pressure to constantly be productive
• taking action before feeling ready
• building a life that actually feels fulfilling

& more. I hope there’s something in this episode you needed (and if you feel identified, DM so we can chat. I’d literally love that). See you next week. xx

I love when you guys send me friendship questions because sometimes they inspire full episodes—like today’s. It’s just us this week, and I’m sharing my thoughts on this submission: “Is it normal for friendships to feel more transactional as you get older? Like everyone’s busy and it starts to feel like you’re scheduling each other in?”

We’re talking about friendship maintenance, changing dynamics in adulthood, one-sided friendships, emotional bandwidth, and why effort (and yes, even scheduling) in friendship isn’t a bad thing whatsoever. I also share my thoughts on adapting to different seasons of life, outgrowing certain friendships, and what healthy adult friendship actually looks like.

If friendship has felt different lately—or you’ve been struggling with the discomfort of changing dynamics as you grow up—I hope this episode makes you feel a little less alone. As always, take whatever resonates and leave the rest. LOVE YOU.

Turns out we can’t rush healing…but we can understand it.

Consider this episode your comprehensive breakup guide—Sabrina Bendory, author and relationship coach, is back on Unwineding and is breaking down the psychology of heartbreak so we can learn how to ACTUALLY heal and move on. Sabrina is helping us make sense of why heartbreak hurts so much and giving us tangible steps to heal without hardening.

We talk about why breakups can feel like withdrawal, why you miss someone even when you know they’re not right for you, and why short-term relationships (or situationships) can sometimes hurt even more than long-term ones. Sabrina shares practical tools to help you move on, rebuild self-trust, and stop tying your worth to someone else’s inability to choose you.

Whether you’re fresh out of a breakup or still holding onto something that ended a while ago, I promise this episode will help you feel less alone and more grounded in your healing process.

We also chat:
• the right (& wrong) way to get through a breakup
• the psychology behind heartbreak and emotional pain
• why heartbreak feels like physical pain
• no contact: why it works and how to stick to it
• why you still miss your ex (even when they weren’t right for you)
• situationships and why they can be harder to get over
• rebuilding self-worth and self-trust after a breakup
• letting go of the “why wasn’t I enough?” narrative
• healing without becoming closed off or guarded
• how to stop romanticizing the beginning of a relationship

If you’re in the middle of heartbreak right now, I hope this episode feels like a conversation with a friend who gets it—and reminds you that you will be okay. I PROMISE.

As always, take whatever resonates & leave the rest. LOVE YOU.

Female friendship can shape how we see ourselves, how supported we feel, and how we move through hard seasons of life. In this episode, I’m joined by Elyse Fox, founder of Sad Girls Club, to talk about the role friendship plays in our mental health, identity, and sense of belonging. 

We talk about why female friendship can feel so meaningful—but also why it can feel complicated as we grow, change, and redefine what success looks like for ourselves. Elyse shares the inspiration behind Sad Girls Club, how creating community helped her feel less alone, and why having the right support system can make such a difference when life feels overwhelming.

We also discuss the pressure to “have it all,” how our definition of success evolves over time, and why being sensitive, ambitious, and still figuring things out can all exist at the same time.

I truly didn’t want this conversation to end—Elyse feels like the best friend and safe space we all want and need (once you listen, you’ll see what I mean). I hope our conversation reminds you that you don’t have to do life alone, and that the right friendships can help you feel more grounded, understood, and supported (and that struggling with your mental health doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human). 

You’ll hear us chat about:

And so much more. As always, take whatever resonates and leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x
