WTF is future faking?


Listen Later

Future faking has officially entered the chat. This week, Emma is back in the studio for her first solo of 2026, and is going down the rabbit hole about the people who sell you a future they were never planning to build. She breaks down why it feels so intoxicating, why it accelerates attachment, and why it doesn’t just break your heart — it breaks your self-trust. And in true Too Much fashion, it’s not just theory. Emma shares a wildly chaotic 72-hour case study involving Miami, a yacht, a monogamy declaration, lingerie in Soho…and a ghosting for the books.

This episode is part PSA, part big-sister debrief, part reminder that your boundaries are not the problem — they’re the filter. Emma talks about the difference between expressing the future you want and promising a shared future you haven’t earned yet, how to clock future fakers early, and how to shut it down without becoming cynical about love. If you’ve ever been love bombed, future faked, or left grieving a future that never existed, this one will make you feel a lot less crazy and a lot more protective of your muchness.
