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).

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.

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 Shop the merch⁠!!

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?

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. Follow Gigi Shop the merch⁠!!

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.

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.

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.
