This episode is a case of the blind leading the blind. Lauren takes an attachment style quiz to find out what her style is (spoiler alert: we were wrong) and we talk about what we're learning about dating in our 30s, how attachment styles actually show up in real life (not just in psychology books), and why we both might need a little therapy (but like, who doesn't?).

We get into anxious vs. avoidant vs. disorganized attachment, what it means to “earn” secure attachment, and why the smallest shift in texting cadence can send your nervous system into a SPIRAL. We talk about overanalyzing, needing reassurance, taking space personally, and the story your brain makes up when you really like someone.

If you’ve ever wondered why you react the way you do in dating or why intimacy can feel both exciting and terrifying—this conversation will probably (hopefully) feel a little too relatable. As always, take whatever resonates and leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

What if I told you that you could go through a breakup with someone you thought you were going to marry... and not be heartbroken? And what if I told you that you actually CAN have it all—the career, the standards, the dream relationship—without settling or shrinking yourself?

Emma Paige, host of the Too Much Podcast, is back on Unwineding this week, and this is exactly what we’re getting into.

How do you not self-abandon in a relationship? How do you walk away from someone who's great on paper but you just don’t feel excited about it? How do you actually enjoy being single instead of treating it like a waiting room? And how does raising your standards actually make dating MORE fun, not harder?

In this episode we cover:

If you're single, heartbroken, or just trying to figure out what you deserve—this episode is gonna hit different. This conversation is equal parts therapy session and pep talk, and I promise you're gonna walk away feeling so empowered.

We talk about what happens when you stop dating out of fear and start dating with clarity—why some breakups feel devastating while others feel like relief, and how building a full life actually changes who you attract. This episode is about self-worth, boundaries, and the mindset shift that leads to healthier relationships and real commitment. As always, take whatever resonates & leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

Most of us know how to show up for other people, but very few of us know how to show up for ourselves. This week, it’s just us, and I’m sharing a practical guide to becoming your own best friend (and what that actually means). Spoiler alert: self-care isn’t really on the list (maybe a quick mention here or there), because I’ve found it goes way deeper than bubble baths and face masks (though I’m a h03 for a bubble bath, k).

We’re talking: self-talk, learning to trust your intuition, regulating your emotions, fostering community, staying curious, and letting yourself take up all the space you desire.

We also cover:

building self-trust and confidence

emotional regulation and nervous system awareness

setting boundaries without guilt

personal growth and mindset shifts

strengthening your relationship with yourself

showing up for yourself in friendships and relationships

And more. I hope there’s something in here you needed, and as always, I’d love to know what it was. LOVE YOU. x

"If it's your calling, it won't stop calling you." This week on Unwineding, I’m joined by Taylor Popik for a calming, inspiring and honest conversation about what it really looks like to stop playing it safe and start building a life that feels aligned. Taylor shares her journey from practicing law in New York to becoming a full-time content creator, yoga teacher, and entrepreneur—and how trusting herself changed everything.

We talk about redefining success, choosing fulfillment over fear, and releasing the pressure to have it all figured out. This episode is for anyone craving clarity, confidence, and permission to take one aligned step forward, even when the path isn’t fully clear yet. And there's a little dating and friendship talk, OF COURSE. As always, take whatever resonates and leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

Things you know I love: lessons and lists. And we’re back (hi, missed you!) with the first solo episode of 2026—and I’m sharing the life, love, and friendship lessons I’m intentionally carrying forward this year.

These are the shifts that changed how I date, how I show up in my friendships, and how I move through my own life—the ones I wish I’d learned sooner, and the ones I’m finally honoring now. Consider this episode a reminder that growth doesn’t come from doing more; it comes from seeing things differently.

If you’re in a season of choosing yourself, re-evaluating your relationships, or craving clarity and self-trust, I hope you’ll feel seen here.

As always, take whatever you need and leave the rest. LOVE YOU.

A conversation for anyone who's ever been told they're "too sensitive." In this first DEBRIEF episode (hi, welcome!!!), we’re talking about sensitivity—why it feels so overwhelming, why we try to hide it, and why it’s actually one of the greatest gifts you can have.

I break down what it really means to feel deeply, the science behind highly sensitive people, and why sensitivity creates stronger relationships, deeper connection, and emotional clarity. We also get into self-critique, overthinking, vulnerability, and the truth that people can only meet you where they’ve met themselves.

Think of this as a reminder that your sensitivity isn’t a flaw you need to fix—it’s how your people recognize you, connect with you, and feel safe with you.

We talk about:
• why sensitivity is a strength
• how being “too much” is often just being deeply attuned
• self-critique, emotional depth, and overthinking
• attracting the right people by being fully yourself

If you’re navigating dating, friendship, self-worth, or seasons of feeling “too much,” this episode will help you feel more grounded, more understood, and more connected to who you really are. LOVE YOU. x
