Carrie’s chasing closure (again), Aiden’s tossing guilt like steak on a grill, and Miranda and Joy give us the emotional intimacy we actually want to see. This week, we’re unpacking the latest And Just Like That —from toxic dating patterns and emotional baggage to that five-word kiss of death: “You smell like smoke. Get away.” We break down the difference between closure and clarity, why Aiden’s s...

In this week’s episode, we kick off another installment of Fuck That Guy Palooza —because apparently cheating CEOs at Coldplay concerts just won’t stop giving. Yes, we’re talking about the Astronomer CEO who thought snuggling up to HR mid-marriage was a stealth move… until he got smacked by the karmic arm of the Jumbotron. Sir, you’re not even the brightest star in your own scandal. But that’s not...

This week on Worth The Wait , Sarah and I kick off another round of Fuck That Guy Palooza —and this one’s a doozy. We start with a listener letter about a woman who put together a thoughtful care package for a guy she’d been seeing for two months… only to get a text back that basically said, “Cool stuff, but calm down, Fatal Attraction.” We break down whether that kind of response is emotionally u...

If you were still on the fence about Carrie Bradshaw being the actual worst, this episode knocked you off and dragged you. Between flinching at Miranda’s kiss, sabotaging Miranda’s party plans, and pulling a full “What are you doing in my kitchen?” meltdown because Miranda made an observation , our girl Carrie is out here giving main character syndrome a bad name. We talk Patti LuPone (yes, she wa...

Aidan breaks a 200-year-old window trying to be romantic, and somehow, that sets the tone for everything that follows: emotional cracks, bad communication, and a man spiraling while a woman tries to hold it all together. Again. This week, we unpack the guilt women carry for wanting more than caretaking roles, the emotional labor they’re expected to perform without recognition, and how female frien...

This week on Worth The Weight , we’re talking about a man who ghosted a woman for three weeks—only to crawl back into her inbox to declare he was “0% interested” and demand she unmatch him. (Because clearly, unmatching is a task best outsourced to the woman you just emotionally sucker-punched.) We break down how this kind of passive-aggressive tantrum is less about closure and more about control,...

This week on Worth the Weight , we're recapping the latest episode of And Just Like That… , but fair warning — we veer into the real star of the show: Carrie’s shoes. We kick things off with a nod to one of the most iconic Sex and the City episodes, A Woman’s Right to Shoes , and the chaos that followed one woman daring to wear $500 stilettos to a kid-friendly party. (Justice for the stilettos...

Why abrupt silence can reopen old wounds. This week, Sarah and I are digging into one of the most relatable—and frustrating—dating experiences: when you’re not sure if someone’s being avoidant… or just not that into you. We start with what might be And Just Like That ’s best episode yet (no, seriously), which we fully unpack in a bonus episode here on Patreon. If you’re not subscribed, go now—this...

To listen to the full episode, subscribe to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/worththeweightshow This week, I made a bold declaration: Season 3, Episode 4 of And Just Like That might be one of the best of the entire series—not Sex and the City , but definitely AJLT . In this recap, Sarah and I break down all the reasons why—from the...

In this episode, Sarah and I unpack everything—starting with why we changed the name of the podcast. Worth The Weight isn’t just about pounds lost (though we talk about that, too)—it’s about the emotional, psychological, and societal weight women carry every damn day. We talk about what led to the rebrand, why I almost broke up with ChatGPT (spoiler: Mira and I had our first fight), and how Sarah...

It’s time, once again, to ask: what exactly are we watching here? In this bonus episode, Sarah and I recap And Just Like That , Season 3, Episode 3—and let’s just say, it’s giving “Carrie is shrinking herself for a man again” and we are not here for it. From Adderall handoffs to hiding in guest houses, this episode was a cringe buffet. We break down the callbacks to “Suffern,” shirt repeats, Charl...

It’s National Donut Day, but men are still the holes in our hearts. In this episode, Kristen and Sarah break down one woman’s very relatable anxiety over being asked for just one more selfie by the dudes on dating apps — spoiler: it’s not just about catfishing, it’s entitlement cosplay. We talk body doubling for ADHD journaling (Kristen’s becoming that girl — planners, stickers, and all), the grie...

We’re back with another And Just Like That recap — and honestly? The metaphors are practically screaming this season. Carrie’s still clinging to the idea that Aiden 2.0 is going to magically give her the life she wanted 20 years ago (spoiler: he’s not), Miranda’s still out here collecting emotional chaos like it’s a side hustle, and Charlotte’s entire storyline continues to make zero sense for a w...

We're back, and so are the ladies! In this episode, we break down everything from And Just Like That Season 3, Episode 1 — the moments that worked, the ones that made us cringe (Looking at you, Aidan), and the plotlines we’re already side-eyeing. From Carrie's bizarre acceptance of Aidan's request to put their relationship on pause for five years, to Seema's refusal to settle, to Miranda’s deflowe...

In this episode, Sarah and I dive into the internet backlash aimed at a dating coach who had the audacity to admit she married a “nice nerdy guy” without feeling an instant spark — and she’s happy. Naturally, the internet lost its damn mind. We talk about why the obsession with “zsa zsa zu” is keeping women stuck in toxic patterns, and why the absence of anxiety doesn’t mean the absence of attract...

This week, we’re diving into dating patterns, gut instincts, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes… it’s your trauma playing matchmaker. We break down a listener letter from someone who thought she finally found a unicorn — until he bailed out of nowhere. Was it anxiety? Or was her intuition picking up on something real? We talk about the difference between anxiety and intuition, why emotiona...

This week on F*ck That Guy Palooza 🎉 We’re serving up a buffet of walking red flags and emotional immaturity—bring your appetite. First course: a man who’s clearly past his dating app expiration date but still insists he’s entitled to a woman “out of his league” (whatever that means). Next up, a guy who treats his date’s romantic past like it’s a crime scene and somehow thinks he deserves answers...

This week on Worth the Weight , I open up about an emotional moment with my sister that triggered my Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria and unearthed some deep-rooted feelings of being “too much” or “in the way.” We also talk about how RSD messes with our body image and makes it hard to feel at home in our own bodies—because when you’re constantly bracing for rejection, self-trust goes out the window...

When you shrink yourself to keep them, you lose yourself in the process. This week, Sarah and I are getting into a topic that, honestly, I wish more people were talking about: self-abandonment in relationships. We got a listener letter that really hit home — it’s from a woman caught in that all-too-familiar loop of feeling like she’s giving way more than she’s getting back. You know the drill: inc...

Trying to date like a secure person while your brain screams, “THEY'RE PULLING AWAY.” In this episode, I get real about what it’s like to date with an anxious attachment style—and how that plays out not just in romantic relationships, but in my bond with Sam, the 17-year-old chihuahua who somehow understands my emotional needs better than most men. We also read a listener letter from someone feeli...
