Description

In this episode, I get real about what it’s like to date with an organizedmattachment style—and how that plays out not just in romantic relationships, but in my bond with Sam, the 17-year-old chihuahua who somehow understands my emotional needs better than most men. We also read a listener letter from someone feeling stuck and second-guessing everything after a six-week situationship came to an abrupt end. We talk through the anxiety loop, the craving for reassurance, and how hard it is not to take it personally when someone pulls away.

If you’ve ever found yourself analyzing text messages like they’re part of a true crime case, wondering if you’re “too much,” or feeling like you're always one step away from being ghosted—this one’s for you. Because here’s the truth: your need for connection isn’t a flaw. It just needs to be met by someone who can actually show up. And as always, our motto stands strong: Fuck That Guy.

TUNE IN TO OUR SUBSCRIBER-ONLY BI-WEEKLY SERIES, "WORTH THE WEIGHT"Unpacking weight, meds, and mental health—because the patriarchy’s not gonna drag itself

Yes, we’re talking weight loss—but not without diving into the mental health rollercoaster that comes with it. ADHD? Oh, it’s in the chat too. We’re unpacking how these meds affect more than just the scale—like motivation, focus, emotional regulation, and how we show up in the world.

But this isn’t just about weight. We’re also talking openly about our ongoing journeys with ADHD and mental health outside of the GLP-1 convo. Because let’s be honest: whether you’re counting macros or trying to remember where you left your keys (again), it’s all connected.

Expect unfiltered stories, hard truths, a few laughs, and some deep dives into the societal pressure cooker that is being a woman today.

So if you’re into honest convos about self-worth, neurodivergence, and finally breaking up with perfectionism—this one’s for you.
