too much.

The holidays are here and Emma is going down the rabbit hole on something many people quietly struggle with this time of year: getting comfortable being alone. In this episode, Emma is unpacking the crucial difference between being alone and feeling lonely — why they’re not the same thing, how each shows up differently in our lives, and why the holidays tend to magnify both.  Drawing from her own experiences with breakups, friendship loss, moving across the country, and spending Christmas alone when she never expected to, were getting into the psychology behind loneliness, why it can feel physically painful, and how our brains are wired to resist solitude. But this episode isn’t about “fixing” loneliness or pretending it doesn’t exist. It’s about reframing it — learning how to meet your own emotional needs, self-regulate, and build trust with yourself so that connection becomes a choice, not a survival mechanism.  This is a reflective, honest look inward about breakups, comparison culture, social media during the holidays, and why solitude can be one of the most powerful teachers you’ll ever have. If you’re feeling lonely, single, misunderstood, or out of place this season, this episode is a reminder that this chapter is temporary — and that learning to enjoy your own company may be the greatest gift you give yourself.

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.

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.

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.  EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to HelloFresh.com/TOOMUCH10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free Breakfast for Life!Visit Rula.com/toomuch to get quality therapy that’s covered by insurance.Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Visit OliveandJune.com/TOOMUCH for 20% off your first System!
