| No trauma on the first date — FT. Lindsey Metselaar | 21 Oct 2025 | 00:37:33 | |
This week Emma heads straight for the jugular in this NYC-core episode of Too Much, sitting down with We Met at Acme host Lindsey Metselaar to dissect modern dating in New York — think dating app do’s & don’ts, nightclub bathroom lines, and why “the easygoing girl” is a myth. From first-date rules, to ghosting, love bombing, and the catch 22 that is the dating app, they get real about what women actually want, what men keep getting wrong, and how boundaries beat bare-minimum “green flags” every time. Then Emma wraps up the episode with a rapid-fire “Too Much / Not Enough” for Lindsey that will make every finance bro delete his Strava account. If you’ve ever met at Acme, matched in Manhattan, or tried to date with an edge in this city, this one’s for you. Find We Met at Acme on Instagram EPISODE SPONSORS:

| Giving what we never got: love languages 101 | 14 Oct 2025 | 00:46:22 | |
This week, Emma is going down the rabbit hole into the psychology of love languages — beyond the basic “five” you think you know. The biggest takeaway? How your love languages evolve with your attachment style, trauma, and even your menstrual cycle. From decoding why your partner’s “I cleaned your room” doesn’t hit like an “I love you,” to how love languages get weaponized in relationships, Emma exposes the emotional dialects that make or break connection. Emma is sharing her take on Dr. Gary Chapman’s controversial origins, the modern love language rewrites, and what it actually means to love someone their way — not just yours. And as promised, stay tuned until the end for Emma’s real-life ghost story as part of her October Series set in her haunted LA apartment — scratches, moving objects, pink bathwater, and all.

| What are you actually begging for? | 12 Aug 2025 | 00:35:21 | |
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!

| The cost of always being "fine": Hyper-independence pt. 2 | 05 Aug 2025 | 00:41:43 | |
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).

| Got daddy issues? | 29 Jul 2025 | 00:38:46 | |
Do you like older guys, or is it daddy issues? That’s the question we’re chasing down the rabbit hole today. In this episode of Too Much, Emma is finally digging into her long history of dating up — from 4 year age gaps to 21 year age gaps — and why she thought she needed an older man to feel safe, stable, or seen. Spoiler: it wasn’t about money, and no, it wasn’t daddy issues either. We’re talking power dynamics, youngest sibling syndrome, emotional unavailability disguised as maturity, and how she confused “having their life together” with “being able to love me.” We’re getting into the psychology of dating down, why confident women are now going younger, and how closing the age gap with Mr. Right changed everything (who may or may not be dropping into the studio today...) Whether you’ve chased silver foxes or swore off Peter Pans, this episode is a deep dive into the real reasons we date outside our age bracket — and why your “type” might be the thing holding you back.

| Stop giving a f*ck | 22 Jul 2025 | 00:33:39 | |
This week on Too Much, Emma is pulling you out of your delulu spiral and dragging you into the light — because we need to talk about the exhausting obsession with being liked. Emma is breaking down why it’s biologically wired into us (hi, cavemen), how social media hijacked it, and what finally freed her from the trap of performing for approval. From being the girl who never got picked as a bridesmaid to ditching dressing for the male gaze, Emma walks you through the shift that changed everything. If you’ve ever shrunk yourself to fit in, stayed silent to stay liked, or wore butter yellow when you hate it just to match the vibe… this one’s for you. Go down the rabbit hole about confidence, comparison, people-pleasing, and how to stop giving a single f*ck about what anyone thinks. Because being liked by everyone? That’s a full-time job with zero benefits. For collaborations and opportunities, email: partnerships@toomuchpod.com Follow Too Much: Follow Emma: Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

| This is not a monarchy — FT. Serena Kerrigan | 15 Jul 2025 | 00:47:15 | |
This week’s guest is a creator, producer, entrepreneur, soon-to-be author, and, of course, the Queen of Confidence — Serena f*cking Kerrigan. But, this is not a monarchy and we saved you a seat on the throne. Serena (aka SFK) joins Emma in going deep down the rabbit hole on all things from rejection wounds and confidence as survival, to how SFK was born (and what it’s been like slowly taking the mask off). The two swap stories about dating as a woman with a big personality, finding someone who doesn’t try to dim you and so much more. If you’ve ever been told you’re intimidating, too loud, too opinionated, too ambitious, or just “too much”… this episode will hit. Hard. Want more of Serena, her show and card game?

| Raised in a revolving door | 08 Jul 2025 | 00:37:03 | |
If you’ve ever wondered why you chase emotionally unavailable people, why you jump ship the second someone gets too close, or why “I’m fine” is your go-to lie — this one’s for you. In this week’s raw (and unexpectedly tearful) episode, Emma goes down the rabbit hole about the real root of her abandonment issues. And spoiler: it wasn’t her parents. From revolving-door relationships and friendships to feeling utterly disposable, she pieces together the wounds that shaped her attachment style, hyper-independence, and her constant need to prove she's worth staying for. But per usual, Emma leaves you with how she’s working through it and all the ways you can give little inner you the big hug they need.

This week, Emma’s going down the rabbit hole on everything from the friendship breakups lacking closure to porn addictions ruining a relationship. She’s giving her two cents on where to actually meet people IRL when the apps are flopping, the difference between looking confident and being confident, and the real reason you may have trouble meeting someone. Whether you’re overthinking alone time, spiraling about that ghosted group chat, or just need a reminder that “right person, wrong time” is a lie we tell ourselves — this one’s got it.

What do Navy SEALs, Halloween, and an accidental acid trip have in common? Emma, apparently. In this episode of Too Much, we go all the way down the rabbit hole and into the power of the mind — what it is, why it works, and how to actually use it instead of spiraling into chaos.

Plus, she shares the most wild story of her life, where she really put the power of her mind to the test. This isn’t manifestation. This is mental discipline. Control your thoughts, reframe your reactions, and learn how to literally brainwash yourself into surviving your breakup, your hangover, or just your Sunday night existential spiral.

You know what’s harder than walking away from a toxic relationship? Walking away from one that looks perfect on paper — but leaves you questioning your worth every damn day. In this episode, we're going down the rabbit hole of why we stay too long, how to finally walk away, and what happens when you actually do. From relationships to friendships to business partners who drain your joy like a full-time job, Emma breaks down the psychological traps (hi, sunk cost fallacy), the excuses we keep recycling, and the moment everything in your body screams go. This is the episode for anyone who’s ever thought, “But maybe it’ll get better…” Let this be your sign, your slap, and your permission to choose yourself — louder, sooner, and without apology. This one’s not just about leaving — it’s about coming back home to your damn self. Follow Too Much: Follow Emma: Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

| Know your worth & onto the next: Gigi Paris breaks her silence | 10 Jun 2025 | 00:52:16 | |
She kept quiet when the internet thought it had all the answers. Now, two years later, Gigi Paris is telling her story — on her terms. Today, Gigi breaks her silence for the first time since the very public unraveling of her four-year relationship with a certain A-list celebrity ex. This isn’t just a breakup story — this is a masterclass in self-worth, restraint, resilience and taking back the narrative. Cheating rumors, the call that changed everything, and fresh headlines surfacing all over again — Gigi addresses the questions that still remain on everyone’s mind. But most importantly, she shares her honest experience of what it felt like to have her relationship become PR collateral, why she chose to wait to respond rather than react, and how she’s thriving today. Because yes, sometimes the most graceful thing you can do is say nothing — but the most powerful thing you can do is finally speak.

| ASK EMMA: brutally honest, tough love, big sister advice | 07 Oct 2025 | 00:43:54 | |
ASK EMMA is back — and it’s more honest, blunt, slap-you-out-of-your-delulu than ever. Emma kicks off spooky season with chaos, clarity, and even a chilling ghost story you won’t forget (that comes bearing receipts). But before the paranormal, comes the personal. Emma goes down the rabbit hole of your rawest questions — from “Why am I still single?” to “How do I stop thinking about my avoidant ex?” — and delivers the tough love no one else will. She breaks down why being single is a choice, not a curse, why hypersensitive employees need to toughen up (sorry, not sorry), and what it takes to really heal. We’re getting real about a fear of men, friendship breakups, workplace boundaries, and what it actually means when your partner won’t unfollow their ex. And then? Emma ends the episode with a true terrifying story caught on camera — “The Figure in the Hallway” — that’ll have you triple-checking your locks tonight. If you love relationship psychology, unfiltered advice, hot takes, and horror season chills, this one’s for you.

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.

| Friends can be narcissists too: Part 1 | 27 May 2025 | 00:37:36 | |
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.

| You're addicted to his potential — ft. Sabrina Zohar | 13 May 2025 | 00:56:42 | |
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.

| The blame game | 06 May 2025 | 00:29:10 | |
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 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.

Rejection is just redirection, right? But sometimes it can feel easier said than done. Whether it's a breakup, a job loss or just a plan you made up in your mind that goes to sh*t, this week, Emma goes down the rabbit hole about the art of pivoting.

| The 32-day first date | 30 Sep 2025 | 00:50:35 | |
In this week’s episode, Emma finally goes down the rabbit hole of the infamous “Washington” story — the 32-day first date that started with a DM, detoured through Scottsdale and Palm Springs, and fast-tracked into moving in (or as she likes to say, “squatting”). What started as a spontaneous road trip turned into a a crash course in love bombing and a year-long lesson in anxious attachment, mixed signals, and the danger of mistaking chemistry for compatibility. Emma reflects on why actions always speak louder than words, how sunk-cost thinking can keep us trapped, and why real intimacy grows slowly, not in a flash. It’s a story of ignoring gut instincts, chasing potential, and eventually choosing freedom over fantasy.

| Personally victimized by bachelorette parties | 23 Sep 2025 | 00:55:54 | |
This week, Emma and newly engaged Ashley Nichole go down the bachelorette party rabbit hole — and it’s not all cute matching outfits and tequila shots. They call out the parts everyone not-so-secretly hates: power-tripping maids of honor, passive-aggressive "games" that feel like the Hunger Games, Splitwise drama, budget shaming, and the politics of who’s “close enough” to make the cut. But don't worry, they talk about the fun stuff too. Ashley breaks down her proposal story (yes, it was perfect) and Emma shares two of her very important hot takes that may have just cracked the code on how to make bachelorette parties drama-free.

| My own worst enemy: the self-sabotage rabbit hole | 16 Sep 2025 | 00:37:40 | |
Self-sabotage is one of those things we all do, but rarely admit to. From procrastination and perfectionism to negative self-talk, toxic relationship cycles, and numbing habits — we’ve all been guilty of standing in our own way. In this episode, Emma is going down the rabbit hole about self-sabotage, why it’s rooted in fear and survival, and how it disguises itself as “logic” or “discipline.” Emma is sharing her own stories — everything from missed opportunities in her twenties to how hyper-independence and people-pleasing played into the patterns. More importantly, she's giving you the tools to recognize these habits, reframe them, and start building momentum again. If you’ve ever caught yourself saying “I’ll do it later,” picked the wrong partner because it felt easier, or sabotaged an opportunity out of fear of success, this episode is your wake-up call.

| My weekend with Zac Efron | 26 Aug 2025 | 00:40:13 | |
Running on three hours of sleep, possible vertigo, and zero filter — this episode goes straight down the rabbit hole of making the first move. Why is it so terrifying to walk up to someone you’re interested in? From caveman survival instincts to modern-day gender norms, Emma breaks down the psychology behind fear of rejection, overthinking, and why we all get stuck in the “what if” loop. But here’s the twist — sometimes shooting your shot can lead to the wildest rewards. Case in point: the infamous Zac Efron story you’ve all been begging Emma to retell. Yes, it involves spilled drinks, secret hallways, a Gabriella Montez dance performance, and a weekend that changed everything. We’re talking confidence, reciprocity, proximity, and why the regret of not trying will always sting worse than a no. Whether you’re a guy paralyzed by the fear of being “creepy”, a girl told making the first move makes you “too much,” or just someone sick of waiting to be approached — this is your pep talk to stop sitting on the sidelines of your own life. It's time to apply Emma's tips to get what you've always wanted. Worse case scenario, you hear a "no." Best case scenario? You walk away with your own Zac Efron story.

| Gaslit by the comment section — FT. Lucie Fink | 19 Aug 2025 | 00:57:52 | |
This week on Too Much, Emma sits down for a roller coaster conversation with Lucie Fink — the OG content creator who went from student vlogging at Johns Hopkins in 2010, to being one of Refinery29’s first video stars, to running her own media brand while raising two kids. She’s a video producer, host of The Real Stuff podcast, and a TEDx speaker. Lucie down the rabbit hole about the realities of building a digital career in the spotlight: thin-shaming, being gaslit by comment sections, and most importantly — a tell-all about the time she did what every creator has fantasized about: confronting her internet troll. Not by blocking. Not by clapping back in the comments. By literally inviting her onto a Zoom call to ask why. And the story that unfolds is equal parts wild, heartbreaking, and eye-opening. Consider this your masterclass in human psychology, empathy, and boundaries. If you’ve ever wondered what’s really behind the hate online, this conversation is the closest thing to pulling back the curtain.

| Psychopaths always win: the halloween episode | 28 Oct 2025 | 00:42:59 | |
Halloween has officially entered its Too Much era — and host Emma Paige is showing up as the only thing scarier than your ex’s texts: an accountant. Why? Because this week, she’s got receipts. In this special Halloween episode, Emma gets brutally honest (and a little unhinged) about her lifelong obsession with horror movies — and why people like her find comfort in chaos, fear, and adenaline. From slumber-party trauma in the early 2000s to her theory on why some of us can sleep soundly after The Conjuring, Emma goes down the psychology rabbit hole behind horror obsession and how it can actually help anxiety… before reading real listener-submitted ghost stories that will make you question every creak in your apartment. It’s part therapy session, part séance, and 100% Too Much. EPISODE SPONSORS:

| If everyone's cancelled, no one is — FT. Hilaria Baldwin | 04 Nov 2025 | 01:09:41 | |
You may think you know Hilaria Baldwin — but you have no idea. This week Emma sits down with Hilaria Baldwin and rips into the tabloid mythology: the alleged fake accent, the memes, the surrogacy whispers, and most recently her experience with bullying on Dancing With the Stars. As someone who has always had her narrative written for her, Hilaria is taking back frontal and saying the quiet part out loud about internet mobs, reputations for sale, and what really happens when a headline hijacks a life. No filters. No softballs. Just blunt questions, real-time receipts, and the real answers the internet didn’t script.

| Done wearing the pants | 18 Nov 2025 | 00:36:27 | |
This week, Emma is going down the rabbit hole on the one thing that determines every dating outcome, every relationship dynamic, and every “WTF am I doing” moment: boundaries. Fresh off her own breakup and officially in her NYC single-era renaissance, she breaks down how boundaries show up in early dating, long-term relationships, and those confusing almost-situationships that plague the modern dating world. Emma is unpacking the non-negotiables and hard-stop boundaries, how to communicate them without sounding unhinged, how to filter out the wrong people instantly, and why dating in your 30s is basically one long psychological experiment in self-respect. And now that she’s back on the market, Emma is sharing her own Non-Negotiable List she’ll be packing on every date so that you can start yours too. Whether you’re newly single, chronically disappointed by the apps, or just tired of abandoning yourself for men who can’t plan a date, this episode is a masterclass in choosing yourself first — then choosing better. Welcome to your boundary bootcamp. EPISODE SPONSORS:

| We broke up — Part two | 11 Nov 2025 | 00:36:48 | |
This is an episode Emma never thought she'd have to record. In Part Two of her time-capsule episode, she returns with the update no one expected: Emma and “Mr. Right” are have broken up. No sob story, no dragging — just radical honesty. From cognitive dissonance to sunk-cost fallacy, she breaks down how a picture-perfect love unraveled after she recorded Part One on September 23rd, why misaligned futures can masquerade as “almost right,” and what choosing yourself actually looks like. This isn’t a story about blame — it’s about bravery. About walking away from someone good because it’s no longer right. About trusting your gut when your head and heart are at war. Emma shares the raw, unfiltered truth about what it really means to outgrow a love you thought would last forever. Watch the full video episode on YouTube. EPISODE SPONSORS:

| We broke up — Part one | 11 Nov 2025 | 00:26:12 | |
On September 23rd, Emma sat down to record something she has never done before — a time-capsule episode. Her relationship with Mr. Right began to feel shaky so instead of waiting until the seemingly inevitable happened to talk about it, she recorded a digital diary entry in real time that she would only release when there was a conclusion to the uncertainty and what might become either her engagement announcement… or her breakup story. And today is that day. After two years with “Mr. Right,” talk of rings, proposals, and building a family suddenly takes a turn that forced Emma to confront one of life’s hardest emotional paradoxes: when someone says I love you, but I’m not ready. From naming the abandonment wound and the self-sabotage itch to the nervous system spiral that happens when “not yet” sounds a lot like “not you” — this is the beginning of the end and Emma is taking you with her. Watch the full video episode on YouTube and tune into Part Two to hear how what she thought was the perfect relationship unraveled. EPISODE SPONSORS:

| ASK EMMA: Just get over him | 25 Nov 2025 | 00:39:45 | |
This week, Emma she sits down for another no-theme, no-filter ASK EMMA where nothing is off-limits. From navigating your “chronically single” era without losing your mind, to reframing self-worth, to what it actually looks like to choose yourself and move forward, Emma took your questions and is giving the tough-love big sister advice you will actually use. She goes down the rabbit hole about dating in New York City, uncertainty, how to stop missing someone, lovebombing, boundaries, and why being alone and being lonely are not the same thing. If you're in your single girl training season, post-breakup rebirth, or just trying to remember you're the prize — this one is for you. EPISODE SPONSORS:

| What's with all the feminine men? | 02 Dec 2025 | 00:35:36 | |
This week, Emma gets brutally honest about why so many women are stuck in their masculine energy — and why she’s officially done living in fight-or-flight for men who can’t lead, can’t decide, and can’t show up. After a chaotic, emotional weekend of moving, parties, and running into people she did not need to see, she breaks down the moment she realized she’s been carrying way too much in her relationships. Emma goes down the rabbit hole into the real psychology behind masculine vs. feminine energy (hint: it’s not gender, it’s survival mode), how women get pushed into “wearing the pants,” and the effort gap that’s dragging modern dating into the trenches. She lays out the red flags, the patterns, and the exact traits that separate boys from men — plus what it actually takes to feel safe enough to soften again. There’s a surprising reunion, a reality check she didn’t see coming, and a look into what dating is going to look like for her now: higher standards, stronger boundaries, and absolutely no mothering grown a** men.

| Make your friends your soulmates | 09 Dec 2025 | 00:38:46 | |
This week, Emma is taking a beat on talking about relationships and men (finally) and is going down the rabbit hole about the people who have carried her through the wildest year of her life: her friends. She’s covering everything the real soulmates we find as adults, why friendship becomes the backbone of your life in your thirties, how adult friendships evolve and what it actually means to nurture the friendships that keep you standing when everything else is burning. This one is raw, emotional, unexpectedly tear-stained, and full of the kind of tough love that will have you on the phone with the coworker you trauma-bonded with three years ago before the episode even ends. Emma breaks down the patterns she had to outgrow, the accountability she had to learn, the support she didn’t know she was allowed to receive, and the three rules she swears every adult needs if they want friendships that last decades — not seasons. It’s equal parts confession, call-to-action, and a love letter to the women who showed up for her when it mattered. EPISODE SPONSORS:

| Who cares if he likes you? — First dates 101 | 16 Dec 2025 | 00:38:08 | |
This week, Emma goes down the rabbit hole about everything we get wrong about first dates — and how to stop sabotaging them before they even start. From why first dates trigger anxiety, to how fear of rejection turns into “pick me” energy, Emma reframes dating as data collection, not an audition. She walks through how to regulate your nerves before a date, how to stay grounded and authentic while you’re on it, and how to avoid oversharing, trauma dumping, or performing for approval. Emma lays out her personal first-date rulebook: what to share, what to hold back, how to spot red flags like love bombing and future faking, and why compatibility matters more than chemistry. She also gets brutally honest about post-date spiraling — decoding texts, delayed communication, breadcrumbing — and why your worth needs to stay out of the conversation. If you’ve ever overthought a first date, romanticized potential, or felt crushed by silence afterward, this one will change how you approach dating forever. EPISODE SPONSORS:
