the relationship advice every woman needs to hear ft. Sabrina Zohar20 Oct 202600:41:32

Why do we keep repeating patterns we know aren't good for us, even when we're self-aware enough to recognize them?

This week, I'm Unwineding (again) with the incredible Sabrina Zohar to talk about love, dating, self-sabotage, attachment styles, and why understanding yourself is only the beginning of actually changing.

We get into overthinking, hyper-independence, emotionally unavailable partners, why almost-relationships hurt so much, how to navigate conflict, and what it really takes to build healthier relationships—with ourselves and others.

We're also celebrating Sabrina's new book,Ā Why Am I Like This?Ā A conversation every woman needs to hear. As always, take whatever you need and leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

Just us today for a life update, a big milestone, and a few of the lessons I've learned along the way. Unwineding has a new home (hi Podcast Nation!!!), and it inspired today's conversation on the power of consistency, trusting the process when you're not seeing results, getting comfortable with being seen, and letting go of the timelines we place on ourselves.

how to trust yourself when you overthink everything ft. therapist Tara Montazeri06 Oct 202600:48:14

What happens when your own brain becomes the thing you’re constantly trying to reason with?

This week, I’m Unwineding with therapist and OCD advocate Tara Montazeri for a conversation about what OCD actually looks and feels like—especially when the struggle is happening entirely inside your head.

We talk about the cycle of intrusive thoughts, anxiety, compulsions, and temporary relief; why reassurance can actually keep us stuck; the overlap between OCD, ADHD, perfectionism, and overthinking; and what happens when the traits causing you distress are the same ones the world has rewarded you for.

Tara also explains why OCD is so obsessed with certainty, how it can show up in dating and friendships, why our thoughts aren't always trustworthy, and how learning to tolerate uncertainty can ultimately become an exercise in trusting yourself.

Plus, we get into mental compulsions, relationship OCD, the problem with diagnosing ourselves on TikTok, how to support someone with OCD without accidentally reinforcing the cycle, and why someone can look completely put together while privately fighting a battle you know nothing about.

And, as always: this episode is meant to increase awareness and curiosity—not to diagnose yourself, your boyfriend, your situationship, or anyone else in your life, okay???! Take whatever resonates & leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

hyper-independence: why you're so good at giving love but struggle to receive it ft. Dr. Suzanne W.29 Sep 202600:44:59

What happens when you've become so good at taking care of yourself that letting someone else love you feels uncomfortable?

This week, I'm Unwineding with psychologist Dr. Suzanne Wallach for a conversation about the psychology of connection: how we build meaningful female friendships as adults, why modern dating feels increasingly complicated, and how to stop letting hyper-independence get in the way of the relationships we actually want.

We get into adult friendship breakups, making friends in your late 20s and 30s, dating app fatigue, attachment styles, and why ambitious, independent women can struggle with vulnerability and receiving love. Dr. Wolek also breaks down how childhood experiences and parentification can shape our relationships, why self-awareness alone isn't enough to change our patterns, and how behavioral therapy can help us learn to let people in.

Because being capable of doing everything yourself doesn't mean you have to. And you can build a beautiful, independent life while still allowing yourself to be loved, supported, and cared for. As always, take whatever resonates & leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

female friendship: finding your people, friendship breakups & growing apart ft. Elyse Fox22 Sep 202600:53:41

Female friendship is one of the great loves of our lives—and sometimes one of the most complicated.

This week, we're revisiting one of my favorite conversations with Elyse Fox, founder of Sad Girls Club, about making friends as an adult, findingĀ yourĀ people, outgrowing friendships that no longer fit, and becoming the kind of friend you want to have.

We talk friendship breakups, reciprocity, making the first move with a potential new friend, supporting the people you love through hard seasons, and why some of the best friendships might not come in the packaging you expected.

As always, take whatever you need from this episode & leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

the law of detachment: the secret to getting what you want without chasing it15 Sep 202600:29:59

I heard you!!! You wanted part two of the law of detachment, and I’m here to deliver.Ā Because understanding detachment in theory is one thing—actually practicing it when you really,Ā reallyĀ want something is a whole different story. It's just us this week & we’re talking about why overthinking is sometimes just our very convincing attempt to escape uncertainty, what happens when we make an outcome responsible for validating us, and how to want the relationship, career, opportunity, timeline (whatever it is!!) without gripping it for dear life. Plus, the five questions I ask myself when I can feel myself getting a little too attached. I (lowkey) love this episode & hope you do, too. All I want is for you to learn how to trust yourself through anything & everything, that's it. LOVE YOU. x

Class is in session, ladies—we're Niko Emanuilidis, host of The Daddy Academy, is here with your complete guide to dating in 2026.

We’re revisiting one of my favorite conversations this week & we're getting into what actually makes a man want to commit, why dating feels so confusing right now, and how to actually attract the relationship you’ve always wanted. Niko shares what men are truly thinking in the early stages of dating, how to get approached more IRL, and the biggest mistakes women are making. We explore why you attract who you are—and why you might be attracting emotionally unavailable partners (and how to stop).

Ultimately, this is your guide to shifting your patterns, dating from a place of true confidence, and raising your standards to attract a healthy, beautiful relationship.

We also cover:

  • why men pull away in dating
  • how to know if a man is serious about you
  • masculine vs. feminine energy in dating
  • what your social media says about you (& do guys notice?)
  • tangible ways to get approached in the wild
  • how to shift your mindset to confidently enjoy dating
  • questions you need to ask in early dating
  • how men ultimately decide on a relationship
  • how to attract better partners
  • understanding your preferences vs. dealbreakers

Whether you’re dating, single, healing, or in a situationship you’re lowkey tired of explaining, this episode will help you understand dating dynamics and feel more empowered in your choices.

As always, take whatever resonates & leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

how to actually change your life in 4 months (a reset guide)01 Sep 202600:26:50

What if the problem isn’t that you don’t know what you want, but that there’s a gap between what you want and what you repeatedly do?

With four months left of the year, consider this our official check-in. Our September reset guide. Not to panic about everything you haven’t accomplished or attempt to reinvent yourself by January 1st, but to get honest about what still matters to you, what doesn’t anymore, and how you actually want to spend the rest of your year.

We’re talking about the psychology behind fresh starts, why changing your mind about a goal isn’t the same as giving up, and the difference between relying on motivation and building systems that actually help you follow through (I'm obsessed with systems rn). I’m sharing tangible ways to reassess your goals, turn intentions into repeatable behaviors, use implementation intentions to make action easier, and finally close some of the open loops quietly taking up space in your brain.

And because I refuse to let ambition become another reason we postpone our actual lives, we’re also talking about how to make meaningful progress without spending the next four months waiting to finally ā€œarrive.ā€

Four months is actually a long time. Let’s be intentional about what we do with them. As always, take whatever you need from this episode & leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

the friendship advice every woman needs to hear ft. Dr. Elisabeth Crain25 Aug 202600:48:10

You can have plenty of friends and still feel deeply lonely.

This week, I’m Unwineding with Dr. Elisabeth Crain to talk about the friendship depth gap: the space between having people in your life and actually feeling deeply known, seen, and connected to them.

We’re talking about why adult friendship can feel harder than dating, why the friendships we want often require us toĀ go first, and how vulnerability, consistency, reciprocity, and even a little inconvenience create the kind of soulful friendships so many of us are craving.

We also get into friendship jealousy, people-pleasing, friendship breakups, navigating different seasons of life, low-maintenance friendships, and why you don’t need to be a perfect friend to be a really good one.

What I really want you to remember from this episode is: maybe you don’t need a bigger circle. Maybe you just need to go a little deeper. But as always, take whatever resonates and leave the rest.

LOVE YOU. x

mastering the law of detachment: why letting go gets you everything you want18 Aug 202600:22:19

Sometimes getting what you want starts with loosening your grip on how you think it needs to happen.

We’re revisiting a favorite today—all about mastering the law of detachment. We’re talking about what it actually means to detach, why letting go doesn’t mean you stop caring, and how to release your need to control every outcome while still going after what you want (my fellow Capricorn/perfectionist/Type A queens, I'm talking to you).Ā 

Whether it’s dating, friendships, your career, social media, or literally anything else, detachment isn’t indifference—it’s caringĀ without clinging. It’s showing up fully, doing what’s in your control, and trusting yourself enough to handle whatever happens next.Ā 

Consider this your reminder to stop forcing, loosen your grip, and give life a little more room to surprise you. As always, take whatever you need & leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

the ambitious woman's guide to perfectionism & starting before you feel ready ft. Gaby Ulloa11 Aug 202600:44:57

File this episode under: how to be wildly ambitious without postponing your entire life until you "make it."

This week, I'm Unwineding with Gaby Ulloa—writer, host, storyteller, and one of those women who leaves you better than she found you.

We’re talking about the very real tension between wanting an extraordinary life and actually remembering to LIVE while you’re building it. Gaby opens up about spending years hyper-focused on the next milestone, constantly moving the goalpost, and convincing herself she couldn’t fully celebrate until the ā€œbig thingā€ happened—and what changed when she realized the outcome can’t be the entire point.

We get into ambition, perfectionism, self-doubt, overthinking yourself into paralysis, and learning to start before you feel ready. Gaby shares the mindset that helped her stop treating every decision like it could make or break her future, why nobody ever really feels ready for the opportunities they’re given, and the advice from her mom that she still comes back to: people simply choose to rise to the occasion.

We also talk about the other side of being a deeply ambitious woman: learning how to actually enjoy the life you’re working so hard to create. How do you chase huge dreams without making your happiness conditional on achieving them? How do you hold the vision while releasing your death grip on exactly how it needs to happen? And at what point does all of our self-improvement, optimization, healing, planning, and preparing actually prevent us from hearing ourselves think (my fellow Capricorns, these questions are for you!!!)?

We also get into:

• perfectionism, overthinking & taking action before you feel ready
• why the biggest self-betrayal might be never letting yourself try
• Gaby’s ā€œpearl necklaceā€ mindset for breaking out of paralysis
• how to stop constantly moving the goalpost on your own happiness
• ambition, self-trust & learning to enjoy the process
• holding the vision while releasing the ā€œhowā€
• why there can be such a thing as too much self-improvement
• learning to trust your own voice instead of constantly looking for more answers
• mentorship & why you always have something to bring to the table
• the power of multi-generational female friendships
• visibility, confidence & the discomfort of being seen
• why actually living your life might make you better at your job
• becoming someone your younger self would be proud of

& so much more. A conversation I deeply needed and hope you did, too. As always, take whatever resonates and leave the rest. LOVE YOU.

smart women have really smart inner critics (& that's the problem)04 Aug 202600:17:06

Note to self: your brain can make an incredible argument... and still be completely wrong.

If you're analytical, ambitious, self-aware, and constantly trying to grow, your inner critic probably doesn't sound irrational. It sounds thoughtful. It cites evidence. It notices patterns. It builds compelling arguments for why you're behind, not good enough, or should play it safe.

And that's EXACTLY what makes it so dangerous.

It's just us this week & we're talking about why smart women often have really smart inner critics, how our intelligence gets weaponized against us, and the life-changing realization that intelligence and truth are not the same thing.

We also get into:
• why your inner critic sounds so convincing
• the difference between facts and interpretations
• how fear recruits your intelligence to keep you safe
• why anxiety loves finding "evidence"
• the questions I ask myself when my inner critic takes over
• how to stop mistaking eloquence for truth

As always, I hope there was something in here you needed. Take whatever resonates & leave the rest.

LOVE YOU. x

how ambitious women build businesses, friendships, & self-trust ft. Bailey Stanworth28 Jul 202600:48:55

Some episodes leave you wanting to call your best friend. This is one of them.

This week, I'm Unwineding with my beautiful friend Bailey Stanworth, founder of Quickies—the award-winning press-on nail brand recently named Cosmopolitan's #1 Press-On Nail Brand AND winner of a 2026 Cosmopolitan Holy Grail Beauty Award (no big deal!!!!). We talk about what it really takes to build a business from the ground up, knowing when to pivot, trusting yourself before you have all the answers, and the hidden cost of ambition.

Then we take a sharp left into one of my favorite topics: female friendship. From making meaningful friends as an adult to navigating friendship shifts, jealousy, conflict, and becoming the kind of woman who attracts incredible people into her life.

We also get into:

• the story behind Quickies
• knowing when to make a career pivot
• self-trust & confidence
• the hidden cost of ambition
• female friendship & community
• navigating friendship breakups
• long-distance friendships
• eating disorder recovery
• healing your relationship with yourself
• learning to forgive yourself
• why your 30s really are better than your 20s

And so much more. As always, I hope there was something in here you needed. Take whatever resonates & leave the rest.

the relationship advice that will change how you love ft. Dr. Tara14 Jul 202600:43:11

We spend so much time thinking about how to find the right person—but not nearly enough time learning how to build a relationship that actually lasts.

This week, I'm joined by relationship psychologist and sex expert Dr. Tara, PhD to unpack what happy couples do differently, the biggest mistakes that slowly erode relationships, and why lasting love has far less to do with chemistry than most people think.

We also talk about why dating feels so hard right now, how to keep the spark alive in long-term relationships, emotional safety, shame around sex, and the habits that create deeper intimacy over time.

In this episode, we cover:

  • why modern dating feels so difficult
  • the biggest mistakes couples make (& how to fix it)
  • what happy, healthy couples do differently
  • how to build a relationship that lasts
  • why couples lose the spark (& tangible ways to get it back)
  • emotional safety (what even is it?) and lasting intimacy
  • how shame affects our relationships and sex lives
  • the difference between chemistry and compatibility
  • practical ways to create healthier, stronger relationships

the psychology of building your dream life ft. Olivia Rose Thomas30 Jun 202600:50:11

You cannot build an extraordinary life with ordinary beliefs. And your future is shaped by the beliefs you repeat, not the dreams you keep. So let's make sure our beliefs are ON POINT, shall we?

This week, I'm joined by Olivia Rose Thomas to unpack the psychology behind self-concept, limiting beliefs, fear of being seen, and why so many of us keep playing smaller than we're capable of. We talk about how your subconscious beliefs shape your decisions, why your nervous system resists change (even when it's good for you), and the practical tools that can help you stop waiting, start trusting yourself, and finally go after the life you've been imagining.

We get into:

  • why your brain is wired to keep you safe, not fulfilled
  • the fear of being seen and why visibility feels so uncomfortable
  • self-concept and how it shapes every area of your life
  • breaking free from limiting beliefs
  • why perfectionism is keeping you stuck
  • how to regulate your nervous system when you're chasing bigger goals
  • becoming the version of yourself your future is asking for

& so much more. I hope you love this episode as much as I did and as always, take whatever resonates and leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

the relationship advice every high-achieving woman needs ft. Kaela Ason28 Jun 202600:43:01

Hi ladiesss! This week, I'm joined by therapist Kaela Ason for a conversation that felt like therapy for every high-achieving woman who's ever overthought a text, treated dating like a checklist, or wondered why relationships can feel so much harder than everything else she's accomplished.

We talk about why so many successful women struggle in relationships, why we get attached to people we barely know, and how anxiety can make us focus on being chosen instead of doing the choosing ourselves.

Kaela breaks down the difference between anxiety and intuition, discernment and self-sabotage, and why so many of us intellectualize our feelings instead of actually letting ourselves feel them. We also get into people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-trust, and why having your life together doesn't necessarily make relationships feel easier.

We talk:
• why high-achieving women tend to overthink relationships
• getting attached to people we barely know
• treating dating like a checklist instead of asking how we actually feel
• anxiety vs. intuition (& how to tell the difference)
• discernment vs. self-sabotage
• why people-pleasing shows up so often in dating
• learning to trust yourself, even when relationships don't work out
• trying to be chosen instead of doing the choosing
• why successful women can struggle with relationships and vulnerability
• perfectionism, self-worth, and the pressure to always have it all together
• confusing peace with boredom and chemistry with chaos
• building self-trust and learning to feel safe in healthy relationships

& so much more.

why he likes you but isn't committing ft. Ben Hart09 Jun 202600:46:41

ā€œWomen have a difficult time keeping the guys they like around and men have a hard time getting the girls they want.ā€Ā 

Ok ladies, we’re revisiting one of my favorite episodes with dating coach & content creator, Ben Hart! Don’t tell him, but he’s one of my favorite voices in the dating space—I find his advice direct, fun, practical, and incredibly honest (which is what we sometimes don’t want but absolutely need).Ā 

Think of this episode as your guide to modern dating—we’re exploring the messy, sometimes confusing early stages where most of us (hi, women who unfortunately date men) start to lose our power. We get into how dating content overload is making us over-intellectualize everything, why we’re obsessed with templates and rules,Ā andĀ what actually matters more than counting the hours between his texts.

We talk: • why we’re all over-consuming dating advice and under-listening to how we actually feel • the difference between being strategic vs. being hyper-tactical and counting every minute between texts • ā€œmatching energy,ā€ reacting to his every move, and how that quietly gives your power away • why texting makes us *lose our minds* sometimes • how men are thinking about vulnerability • the art of FLIRTING (and how to get approached out in the wild) • worthiness, self-respect, and identity shifts for the relationship you want

If you want to feel more confident, more calm, and more in your power during the early stages of dating (and beyond), this episode is going to be your new best friend. As always, take whatever you needed today & leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

the glow-up advice women actually need to hear ft. Ariana Medizade02 Jun 202600:47:54

Your glow-up doesn't need another supplement... or does it?

This week, I'm unwineding with Doctor of Pharmacy and wellness creator Ariana Medizade for a conversation that completely challenged the way I think about health, supplements, stress, and what it actually means to feel good.

I asked Ariana which wellness trends she loves (& which should go away), the truth about supplements, peptides, cortisol, energy drinks (this one hurt me), GLP-1s, and why more information doesn’t always make us healthier.

We also get into something I think so many women can relate to: the pressure to optimize EVERYTHING. From tracking every calorie and macro to chasing the "perfect" wellness routine, we explore how easy it is to lose yourself in the pursuit of being healthy—and how to find a more sustainable middle ground.

We also chat:

• cortisol, stress & women's health
• supplements that are worth it (and which ones aren't)
• peptides, GLP-1s & wellness trends
• energy drinks, caffeine & ADHD
• healthy habits that are secretly hurting you
• the problem with wellness culture online
• creating a routine that actually fits your life
• confidence, self-trust & the real meaning of a glow-up

As always, take whatever you need from this conversation and leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

why ambitious women never feel like they've done enough26 May 202600:32:00

Why do so many ambitious women still feel like they’re behind… even when they’re doing everything ā€œrightā€?

In this episode, I’m opening up about ambition, perfectionism, self-worth, productivity, purpose, burnout, and the pressure to constantly become ā€œmore.ā€ After one very honest conversation sent me into a spiral about fulfillment and identity, I started questioning pretty much everything. Remy (my podcast engineer and beautiful friend) joins me to chat about the psychology behind high achievement, the emotional weight of never feeling like you’ve done enough, and where I might be looking for bandaids instead of going deeper.

I also talk about:

• perfectionism & fear of failure
• burnout, ambition & identity
• wanting more purpose & meaningful work
• self-worth tied to achievement
• the pressure to constantly be productive
• taking action before feeling ready
• building a life that actually feels fulfilling

& more. I hope there’s something in this episode you needed (and if you feel identified, DM so we can chat. I’d literally love that). See you next week. xx

are your friendships transactional?12 May 202600:18:10

I love when you guys send me friendship questions because sometimes they inspire full episodes—like today’s. It’s just us this week, and I’m sharing my thoughts on this submission:Ā ā€œIs it normal for friendships to feel more transactional as you get older? Like everyone’s busy and it starts to feel like you’re scheduling each other in?ā€

We’re talking about friendship maintenance, changing dynamics in adulthood, one-sided friendships, emotional bandwidth, and why effort (and yes, even scheduling) in friendship isn’t a bad thing whatsoever. I also share my thoughts on adapting to different seasons of life, outgrowing certain friendships, and what healthy adult friendship actually looks like.

If friendship has felt different lately—or you’ve been struggling with the discomfort of changing dynamics as you grow up—I hope this episode makes you feel a little less alone. As always, take whatever resonates and leave the rest. LOVE YOU.

how to get over a breakup: the psychology behind heartbreak & healing ft. Sabrina Bendory28 Apr 202600:45:58

Turns out we can’t rush healing…but we can understand it.

Consider this episode your comprehensive breakup guide—Sabrina Bendory, author and relationship coach, is back on Unwineding and is breaking down the psychology of heartbreak so we can learn how to ACTUALLY heal and move on. Sabrina is helping us make sense of why heartbreak hurts so much and giving us tangible steps to heal without hardening.

We talk about why breakups can feel like withdrawal, why you miss someone even when you know they’re not right for you, and why short-term relationships (or situationships) can sometimes hurt even more than long-term ones. Sabrina shares practical tools to help you move on, rebuild self-trust, and stop tying your worth to someone else’s inability to choose you.

Whether you’re fresh out of a breakup or still holding onto something that ended a while ago, I promise this episode will help you feel less alone and more grounded in your healing process.

We also chat:
• the right (& wrong) way to get through a breakup
• the psychology behind heartbreak and emotional pain
• why heartbreak feels like physical pain
• no contact: why it works and how to stick to it
• why you still miss your ex (even when they weren’t right for you)
• situationships and why they can be harder to get over
• rebuilding self-worth and self-trust after a breakup
• letting go of the ā€œwhy wasn’t I enough?ā€ narrative
• healing without becoming closed off or guarded
• how to stop romanticizing the beginning of a relationship

If you’re in the middle of heartbreak right now, I hope this episode feels like a conversation with a friend who gets it—and reminds you that you will be okay. I PROMISE.

As always, take whatever resonates & leave the rest. LOVE YOU.

are you the friend you wish you had? ft. Elyse Fox21 Apr 202600:53:41

Female friendship can shape how we see ourselves, how supported we feel, and how we move through hard seasons of life. In this episode, I’m joined by Elyse Fox, founder of Sad Girls Club, to talk about the role friendship plays in our mental health, identity, and sense of belonging.Ā 

We talk about why female friendship can feel so meaningful—but also why it can feel complicated as we grow, change, and redefine what success looks like for ourselves. Elyse shares the inspiration behind Sad Girls Club, how creating community helped her feel less alone, and why having the right support system can make such a difference when life feels overwhelming.

We also discuss the pressure to ā€œhave it all,ā€ how our definition of success evolves over time, and why being sensitive, ambitious, and still figuring things out can all exist at the same time.

I truly didn’t want this conversation to end—Elyse feels like the best friend and safe space we all want and need (once you listen, you’ll see what I mean). I hope our conversation reminds you that you don’t have to do life alone, and that the right friendships can help you feel more grounded, understood, and supported (and that struggling with your mental health doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human).Ā 

You’ll hear us chat about:

  • the power of female friendship
  • why community matters for mental health
  • feeling understood by the right people
  • redefining success on your own terms
  • navigating the pressure to have it all figured out
  • why ambition & emotional depth can coexist
  • compartmentalizing friendships
  • supporting a loved one through mental health struggles
  • navigating friendship breakups
  • how meaningful friendships help us grow

And so much more. As always, take whatever resonates and leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

how your attachment style affects your relationships ft. Dr. Morgan Anderson07 Apr 202600:51:47

The million-dollar question is: why do we love the way we do? I’m no expert, but today’s guest is.

In this episode, I’m joined by clinical psychologist and attachment theory expert Dr. Morgan Anderson to talk about how anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, and disorganized attachment shape the way we connect, communicate, and choose partners.

We talk about why you may feel drawn to emotionally unavailable people, why healthy relationships can sometimes feel uncomfortable, and how past experiences can influence your dating patterns more than you realize.

We also discuss how to move toward secure attachment, how to stop repeating unhealthy relationship dynamics, and how to create more emotionally available, stable, and fulfilling relationships.

We also talk about:

• the difference between anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles
• why you might feel anxious in dating even when someone is treating you well
• why emotionally unavailable partners can feel familiar
• how attachment styles develop through relationships and life experiences
• how to recognize unhealthy dating patterns
• how to stop self-sabotaging relationships
• why secure love can feel unfamiliar at first
• the role of the nervous system in relationships
• why you don’t need to be ā€œfully healedā€ before dating
• how to build secure attachment over time
• how to communicate your needs in relationships
• how to stop overanalyzing early dating situations
• how attachment theory can help you understand your relationship choices

& so much more. As always, take whatever you need from our conversation and leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

are we making dating harder than it needs to be? ft. Alyssa Pettinato31 Mar 202600:47:12

File this episode under: the dating advice we probably need but don’t always want to hear.

Alyssa Pettinato, host of the Missjudged Podcast, is on Unwineding today and we’re getting into the chaos that is modern dating: from being the ā€œchill girl,ā€ to unrealistic expectations, to whether we’re actually making dating harder than it needs to be.

We talk about why dating feels so confusing right now, why so many women feel burnt out by modern dating culture, and how to balance having high standards without unintentionally limiting yourself.

We also get into how to screen men early, what ā€œdating intentionallyā€ actually means (and why Alyssa is OVER this statement), and how to stop overcomplicating relationships before they even begin. Oh, and how we love a short king.

We also talk:

• why modern dating feels so complicated right now
• the problem with trying to be the ā€œchill girlā€
• dating standards vs unrealistic expectations
• how to screen men early in dating
• what ā€œdating intentionallyā€ actually means
• how to know what you want in a partner
• why dating apps can feel draining
• how to have more fun dating again
• mindset shifts for healthier relationships
• navigating avoidant partners and emotional availability
• why dating should feel exciting, not exhausting
• how to stay optimistic about love and relationships

& more.

being kept around vs. being chosen in dating24 Mar 202600:17:06

He’s not your soulmate if you have to lower your standards, I promise.

It’s just us this week—and we’re unpacking the subtle but powerful difference between being kept around and being chosen— and why the two can feel almost identical in the beginning (which is incredibly mind-f*cking, pardon my French).

We talk about why consistency alone isn’t enough, how situationships create emotional attachment without real security, and why feeling confused in dating is often the biggest sign that something isn’t fully aligned.

Because the truth is: someone can enjoy you, care about you, and still not have the capacity to choose you (which is insane). And when that happens, the most important question becomes…why are we accepting dynamics that make us question ourselves?

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering where you stand, overanalyzing mixed signals, or feeling like something is almost right but not quite… this episode is for you.

We’re also exploring:
• the emotional difference between attention and commitment
• why clarity is one of the biggest green flags in dating
• the role of capacity in relationships
• why confusion is not a normal stage of a healthy relationship
• how to stop overriding your intuition
• why being ā€œalmost chosenā€ can feel so painful
• choosing self-respect over uncertainty

You deserve clarity. You deserve effort. You deserve someone who is certain about you. And you deserve someone who would never risk losing you. OKAYYYYY?!

As per ujje, take whatever resonates & leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

do you know your best friend’s love language? ft. Angie Lassman17 Mar 202600:42:47

We talk so much about intention and communication in romantic relationships, but our friendships deserve the same amount of effort.

My beautiful girl (andĀ UnwinedingĀ Podcast regular), Angie Lassman, is back and we’re doing what we do best: talking about female friendships.

We’re exploring how the love languages show up in friendship (vs. romantic relationships) and why understanding how your friends feel loved can completely change the way you show up for each other. We also talk about the importance of communication, navigating misunderstandings, and why friendships deserve the same level of care and intention we often reserve for romantic relationships.

And we’re circling back on a challenge we gave each other last summer—on being less avoidant (lol). Angie worked on her avoidance with friends (and killed it), and I worked on my avoidance with men (and didn’t exactly kill it). But we live and we learn.

We also chat about:

• love languages in friendship and how they show up differently than in romantic relationships
• why understanding your friends’ love languages can strengthen your friendship
• how to communicate better in friendships
• asking for what you need from your friends
• why healthy friendships require effort, intention, and communication
• navigating misunderstandings and conflict in friendship
• how we’re working on our people-pleasing tendencies
• why many of us struggle to voice our needs in relationships
• how small acts of care can make friends feel loved and supported
• the importance of nurturing female friendships
• why strong friendships are built (they don’t just exist)

As always, I hope there’s something in this conversation you needed today—take whatever resonates and leave the rest. See you next week. x

the myth of being effortless10 Mar 202600:22:57

Why do we glamorize not caring? Why are we so embarrassed to be seen trying?

In the second installment of our DEBRIEF series, we’re exploring the cultural obsession with being effortless and why pretending you don’t care about something might actually be holding you back.

From dating advice and relationships to careers, confidence, and personal growth, we’re constantly told to play it cool: don’t try too hard, don’t text first, don’t show how much you care. But the truth is that the most meaningful things in life—deep friendships, healthy relationships, successful careers, and personal development—are built through effort, intention, and perseverance (not magic. and most DEF not by pretending you don’t care).

If you’ve ever wondered whether struggle means something isn’t meant for you, or felt embarrassed for wanting something badly, this conversation will shift how you think about effort, discipline, and success.

We’re debriefing:

• why society glamorizes effortlessness and natural talent
• the pressure to appear unbothered in dating and relationships
• why trying hard isn’t embarrassing (and why we think it is)
• the difference between forcing something vs. putting in effort
• why hard doesn’t mean something isn’t meant for you
• the psychology of grit, perseverance, and skill development
• how discipline and consistency shape success more than talent
• the fear of visible effort and public failure (especially on social media)
• why the most meaningful things in life require intentional effort
• a closing journaling prompt for self-reflection and personal growth

As always, take whatever resonates & leave the rest. And please remember: nothing meaningful is built by pretending you don’t care.

navigating grief: whether you're in it or loving someone through it ft. Destinee Clowe03 Mar 202600:51:51

No one teaches you how to lose a parent. And no one teaches you what to say to someone who has.
In this episode of Unwineding, Destinee and I talk about what it actually means to navigate grief—especially after losing a parent. We open up about losing our dads, the identity shift that comes with that kind of loss, and the strange, quiet ways grief shows up long after everyone else thinks you’re ā€œokay.ā€
Because sometimes grief is so loud.
But sometimes it’s subtle.
Sometimes it hits you months later on a random Wednesday.

And then there’s the other side of it:
What do you do when someone you love is grieving?
How do you support someone coping with loss when you’re afraid of saying the wrong thing?
How do you show up when you can’t fix it?

In this conversation, we talk:
• what navigating grief really looks like after losing a parent
• how coping with loss can reshape your identity
• why grief doesn’t follow a timeline
• the unexpected emotional waves of grieving
• what actually helps when you’re grieving—and what doesn’t
• how to support someone who is grieving
• what to say to someone grieving (and what to avoid)
• how to be there for someone navigating loss without trying to solve it
• why grief doesn’t end—it evolves

This episode is for anyone who is grieving a parent, coping with loss, or trying to figure out how to support someone who is grieving.
Because grief is universal (unfortunately) we will all experience loss, but the way we carry it is deeply personal. So if you’re navigating grief right now, I hope this makes you feel seen and understood (we truly feel you).
If you love someone who is grieving, I hope this gives you clarity and confidence in how to show up for them (because we need you).
And remember, sometimes support isn’t about having perfect words.
It’s just about staying.

Welcome to a conversation about love, loss, and the kind of grief that changes you forever.

how your attachment style shows up in relationships24 Feb 202600:33:51

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 ā€œearnā€ 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

being single is better than settling: healing after a breakup & dating with standards ft. Emma Paige17 Feb 202600:48:18

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:

  • healing after a breakup without losing your confidence
  • how to stop settling in dating
  • rebuilding your standards after heartbreak
  • why high standards attract better partners
  • walking away from someone who’s good on paper
  • how to enjoy being single and stop rushing a relationship
  • dating in your 30s and choosing intentionally
  • not self-abandoning in relationships
  • boundaries, self-respect, and emotional availability
  • why patience leads to a healthier long-term relationship
  • creating a life that attracts the right partner

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

how to become your own best friend (& actually trust yourself)20 Jan 202600:26:15

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:

  • buildingĀ self-trustĀ 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

THE DEBRIEF: why being sensitive is a gift09 Dec 202500:23:02

A conversation for anyone who's ever been told they're "too sensitive." In this first DEBRIEF episode (hi, welcome!!!), we’re talking aboutĀ 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 ā€œtoo muchā€ 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 ā€œtoo much,ā€ this episode will help you feel more grounded, more understood, and more connected to who you really are. LOVE YOU. x

what men wish women knew about dating ft. Ben Hart02 Dec 202500:46:36

ā€œWomen have a difficult time keeping the guys they like around and men have a hard time getting the girls they want.ā€

Hi ladiesssss, I'm so excited to welcome Ben Hart, dating coach & content creator, to Unwineding this week! Don’t tell him, but he’s one of my favorite voices in the dating space—I find his advice direct, fun, practical, and incredibly honest (which is what we sometimes don’t want but absolutely need).

Think of this episode as your guide to modern dating—we’re exploring the messy, sometimes confusing early stages where most of us (hi, women who unfortunately date men) start to lose our power. We get into how dating content overload is making us over-intellectualize everything, why we’re obsessed with templates and rules,Ā andĀ what actually matters more than counting the hours between his texts.

We talk:
• why we’re all over-consuming dating advice and under-listening to how we actually feel
• the difference between being strategic vs. being hyper-tactical and counting every minute between texts
• ā€œmatching energy,ā€ reacting to his every move, and how that quietly gives your power away
• why texting makes us *lose our minds* sometimes
• how men are thinking about vulnerability
• the art of FLIRTING (and how to get approached out in the wild)
• worthiness, self-respect, and identity shifts for the relationship you want

If you want to feel more confident, more calm, and more in your power during the early stages of dating (and beyond), this episode is going to be your new best friend. As always, take whatever you needed today & leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

we’re part-time baddies ft. Alexis Waters25 Nov 202500:40:52

File this episode under: two girls with severe ADHD in their luteal phase, talking absolute nonsense and forgetting microphones were involved. My beautiful girl Alexis Waters is back on Unwineding (or rather, I went to Dallas to see her), and we caught up on all the important matters: antidepressants, planning a day for our least favorite ex, female friendship, body dysmorphia, self-worth, etc. We break down friendship tiers, the qualities we actually look for in the women we keep close, and why the people around you literally shape who you become.

A little unhinged girl talk, if you will. Hope you enjoy. LOVE YOU. x

Our first episode together: 'how to catch a cheater, fall in love, & stay (kinda) sane ft. Alexis Waters'

mastering detachment, becoming magnetic, & attracting the love you want ft. Sabrina Bendory18 Nov 202501:04:28

"You have to rewire your beliefs to find the love you want." In this episode, I sit down with author, creator, and dating & relationship expert Sabrina Bendory for one of the most grounding conversations I’ve had about modern relationships. We talk about detachment—what it actually is, how women can practice it without becoming cold or avoidant, and why stepping back is sometimes the most self-loving thing you can do. Sabrina breaks down anxious attachment, self-abandonment, emotional spiraling, and why our nervous system plays a bigger role in dating than we think.

We also dive into: learning to trust your intuition, why ā€œmixed signalsā€ aren’t as complicated as they seem, how to stop chasing emotionally unavailable men, and the real mindset shift every woman needs to date from a place of self-worth. If you’re tired of feeling anxious in dating, if you want to understand your patterns, or if you just want to feel more grounded in who you ARE—this episode is your reset.

More topics we explore:

  • self-sabotage
  • why your thoughts shape your life
  • the concept of 'upper limits'
  • fear of abandonment
  • why you get attached too quickly
  • the psychology behind attachment
  • heartbreak lessons
  • self-worth and boundaries
  • feeling like you have to earn love
  • becoming magnetic

And so much more. As always, I hope there's something in here you needed. Take whatever resonates—leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

how to love the life you're in (even if it's not where you thought you'd be) ft. Lindsey Simcik of Almost 3011 Nov 202500:45:27

ā€œThere’s no such thing as being behind when you’re living a life that’s aligned.ā€Ā  In this episode, I sit down with Lindsey Simcik, co-host ofĀ Almost 30Ā and my new favorite person, for one of the most beautiful conversations I didn’t know I needed. We talk about how to fall back in love with your life—especially when it doesn’t look the way you imagined it would. We explore Saturn returns, self-worth, friendship, and the quiet power that comes when you stop waiting to be chosen. If you’ve ever felt ā€œlateā€ or like you’re not on the timeline you hoped for, I promise you, Lindsey will remind you that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

We also dive into:

  • why you're choosing the wrong people
  • feeling empowered to turn 30
  • finding your purposes (we have more than 1)
  • moving through seasons of change
  • navigating your 30's, fearlessly
  • working with your bff
  • giving yourself permission to pivot
  • navigating conflict in friendship
  • becoming your own bff


And so much more.

As always, take whatever you need from this conversation and leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

storytelling is your strategy: building a brand with purpose ft. YouMe Lin31 Oct 202500:42:33

You know that feeling when someone takes their ā€œdream jobā€ and turns it into theirĀ ownĀ thing? That’s YouMe Lin. I’m sitting down with my beautiful friend and founder of Cloud Studio—the creative marketing agency she built with so much purpose and heart.

YouMe and I talk about everything from taking the leap to start your own business, to leading with kindness, to building a team that feels like family. She shares how Cloud Studio was born out of a desire to give back— especially to women-owned brands and nonprofits—and what it really means to grow something meaningfulĀ andĀ sustainable.

We also get into the mental side of entrepreneurship: staying grounded, protecting your energy, and finding gratitude even when things get hard. It’s such an inspiring, open, and thoughtful conversation that reminds you why doing work with purpose will always matter most.Ā  As always, take whatever you need and leave the rest. LOVE YOU x
