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 abo...

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...

Just us today for a little FaceTime catchup. We're talking about the Summerhouse drama, my recent Toronto trip, why being in your 30's is wild/beautiful/incredibly weird, and how I'm navigating a difficult season of life.

“Women have a difficult time keeping the guys they like around and men have a hard time getting the girls they want.”  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...

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, cor...

Why do so many ambitious women still feel like they’re behind… even when they’re doing everything “right”? In this episode, I’m opening up about ambition, perfectionism, self-worth, productivity, purpose, burnout, and the pressure to constantly become “more.” After one very honest conversation sent me into a spiral about fulfillment and identity, I started questioning pretty much everything. Remy...

Our favorite (& hottest) comedian bestie is back for another round of dating & friendship advice.

Zack and I were in a MOOD for this episode so you're welcome, good luck, and we love you. EN...

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: “Is 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?” We’re talking about friendship maintenance, changing dynamics...

I’m off to NYC to podcast, so we’re revisiting one of my favorite episodes with the beautiful Lindsey Simcik of the Almost 30 Podcast. We’re talking about trusting the timing of your life, letting go of societal timelines, and falling back in love with your life—even if it looks different from what you once imagined. As always, take whatever you need from this conversation and leave the rest. LOVE...

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 hardeni...

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.  We talk about why female friendship can feel so meaningful—but also why it can feel complicated as we grow, change,...

Remember: you can't be late to your own life. If things feel uncertain, overwhelming, or not how you imagined they would be right now, this episode is for you. It's just us this week and we’re talking about navigating difficult seasons, learning how to sit with the unknown, and finding steadiness when life doesn’t go according to plan. As always, I hope there was something you needed today. Take w...

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...

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 “chill girl,” 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,...

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 attachme...

We talk so much about intention and communication in romantic relationships, but our friendships deserve the same amount of effort. My beautiful girl (and Unwineding 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 frien...

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...

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 “o...

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. avoid...

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. Ho...

The goal? To become disgustingly educated. And happier. And sexier. I’m sharing a few really simple things—the habits, routines, and ways of thinking—that are helping me get there. As always, take whatever resonates & leave the rest.

Lover girls with trust issues... assemble. My beautiful, talented, perfect friend Destinee Clowe is on Unwineding today and we're talking all things: dating, feelings, and keeping your standards high. We're unpacking the societal timelines we face as women, why we're done with avoidant men, and why being single is such a gift. Oh, and we're eating chicken caesar wraps, too (if you're in NYC, pleas...

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...
