  • ASK EMMA: brutally honest, tough love, big sister advice

    ASK EMMA: brutally honest, tough love, big sister advice
    Oct 7 2025
    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.

  • The 32-day first date

    The 32-day first date
    Sep 30 2025
    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

    Personally victimized by bachelorette parties
    Sep 23 2025
    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. Consider this episode a permission slip to set boundaries, skip the cringe, and plan a celebration that fits the bride—not the group chat.

  • My own worst enemy: the self-sabotage rabbit hole

    My own worst enemy: the self-sabotage rabbit hole
    Sep 16 2025
    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.

  • Attachment Styles 101: Stop calling anxiety love

    Attachment Styles 101: Stop calling anxiety love
    Sep 2 2025
    We’re talking attachment styles — the blueprint for how you love, fight, chase, or push people away. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re drawn to emotionally unavailable partners, why you freak out when someone pulls back, or why “secure” feels boring compared to chaos — this episode is for you. We're going down the rabbit hole on: The four attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, disorganized) and and why they're so important to identify and understand. Why 75% of relationships involve at least one insecure attachment style How your attachment style isn’t a life sentence — it can shift with the right partner, therapy, or self-work. The messy intersection of attachment styles, love languages, and toxic traits (spoiler: your toxic trait is often the opposite of your love language). How to stop calling anxiety “love” and start seeing security as peace, not boredom. It’s part psych lesson, part roast of my own past dating choices, and part pep talk to stop choosing the bad boy just because he makes your nervous system light up. Secure isn’t boring. Secure is freedom.

  • My weekend with Zac Efron

    My weekend with Zac Efron
    Aug 26 2025
    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

    Gaslit by the comment section — FT. Lucie Fink
    Aug 19 2025
    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.
