too much. – Details, episodes & analysis

Losing friends, making new ones and boyfriends who make you question your worth — today’s episode is a masterclass in calling it like it is. Emma is going down the rabbit hole dug by the stories and questions YOU submitted, from a 20-year friendship imploding over a bridesmaid invite and a boyfriend who weaponized your personality against you, to the friend who always makes you feel like the “backup plan.” We’re talking emotional maturity (or lack thereof), knowing if he's the one, spotting narcissistic tactics and how to walk away — whether it’s from a toxic friend, an insecure partner, or a situationship that’s going nowhere. This one’s equal parts tough love, big sister pep talk, and a reminder that protecting your peace is never the wrong move. *SHOW NOTE* Going forward, video episodes will only be available on YouTube!

By popular demand, Hyper-Independence Part 2 is here. In this follow-up to one of our most downloaded episodes, Emma is going even deeper down the rabbit hole into what it really means to be hyper-independent — not just the self-help jargon, but the real-life impact it has on relationships, intimacy, and the ability to let love in. She breaks down the difference between healthy independence and emotional isolation, the invisible alarm bells that go off when someone tries to take care of you, and the subconscious belief that needing anyone equals weakness. Emma also explores the stages of a relationship and how hyper-independence disrupts them, how it overlaps with (but isn’t the same as) avoidant attachment, and why being “low maintenance” is often just a wall dressed up as a compliment. If you’re someone who always says “I’m fine” when you’re not, would rather break your back than ask for help, or is dating someone like that and wondering why they feel emotionally shut out — this episode is your survival guide. Consider this your how-to on letting people in (or lovingly being there for someone who won’t).

Consider this episode your detonation. We’re going DEEP down the rabbit hole (like “$5K ring on a first date” deep) into the psychological mindf*ck that is love bombing — what it is, how it shows up, and why even the savviest among us can fall for it when it’s wrapped in compliments, constant texts, and Paris plane tickets. Emma is breaking down the sneaky ways it appears, her wildest love bombing story, and how to avoid the emotional whiplash by setting some bomb-proof boundaries. Whether you've been love bombed, done it yourself, or just want to avoid getting trapped in fantasy disguised as romance — this one is for you.

Let’s clear something up: not everyone you hate is a narcissist. And not everyone you love isn’t. This week, Emma is going down the rabbit hole of actual narcissism — in platonic and romantic relationships. What it is, what it isn’t, and how to spot the difference between someone who’s just selfish… and someone who’s clinically manipulative. And this is just PART ONE. From love bombing and future faking to victim-playing and covert sabotage, we're going through the key red flags and the psychology behind why it’s so hard to walk away from someone who keeps you craving the highs.

This week, we're going down the rabbit hole about the rabbit hole. The one we go down when we see everyone’s getting engaged, having babies, buying homes... and you’re over here just trying to find your phone. Emmas' diving into the psychological chaos of comparison, the pressure of timelines, and the positive pregnancy test that changed her perspective forever. From biological clocks and made up milestones to redefining success on your own terms — this one’s for anyone who’s ever felt behind, panicked, or like their life isn’t happening “on time.” It’s not about being picked — it’s about choosing. And the next chapter of your life can start any damn minute. Follow Too Much: ⁠IG⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠ Follow Emma: ⁠IG⁠ ⁠TikTok⁠ Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

You hope he’ll text you. You hope he’ll change. You hope the mixed signals mean something good. Let’s be real: you’re not hopeful — you’re in denial. This week, we're joined by dating coach, podcaster, and professional bullshit-caller, Sabrina Zohar, to unpack the psychology behind clinging to potential in dating. We talk dopamine addiction, Disney delusions, and the brutal difference between healthy optimism and emotional procrastination. Sabrina and Emma (two “too much” girls turned thriving adults) break down how to stop mistaking inconsistency for compatibility, how to grieve what never actually existed, and how to stop handing out CEO roles in your life to people who haven’t passed the first interview. If you've ever romanticized a walking red flag or stayed just because "there’s potential," this one’s for you.

It’s time for some tough love. In this episode, we’re talking about accountability—why it’s the foundation of any healthy relationship, and how learning to take responsibility (and demand it from others) changed the way I show up in friendships, work, and love. It’s a little bit of a TED Talk, a little bit of a therapy session, and a whole lot of truth. If you’ve ever struggled with someone's refusal to take accountability or just owning your own part, this one’s for you. Buckle up and bring a notebook.

This week, we’re going down the rabbit hole into another Ask Emma — tackling your juiciest, rawest questions about maintaining independence in relationships, navigating hyper-independence without being labeled “toxic,” friendship breakups, ignoring the haters, and why celebrating your wins (even the tiny ones) is non-negotiable. As always: no scripts, no filters, just me, you, and a wild ride down the rabbit hole. And don't forget, got a question or some receipts? Slide into the DMs or drop them in the link in bio.

This week’s episode was recorded on April 17th — 48 hours after sharing the truth behind the end of Unhinged. After a whirlwind 48 hours, Emma is taking a moment to share gratitude, to reintroduce herself, to reframe what it means to be “too much,” and remind you why this podcast exists in the first place. Emma’s been deemed “too much” everywhere from classrooms to boardrooms — and instead of shrinking herself, she’s built something out of it. If you’ve ever been misunderstood, gossiped about or told you're too much, this one is for you. Welcome to Day One. Let’s begin again, together.

This is the truth about what happened with my podcast, Unhinged — and the detailed, receipt-bearing, factual account of what has unfolded behind closed doors. For over two months, I stayed silent as the podcast I built was taken out from under me. I was locked out, erased, and a new show has been operating on my platforms — without my consent. Today, I’m finally sharing the truth. This isn’t about drama; it’s about business ethics, accountability, and setting the record straight. For anyone who’s ever been erased, betrayed, or made to question their worth — you are not alone.
