Dating in the Age of the Algorithm EP 224

Swiping, matching, ghosting, and wondering why it all feels like more effort than connection. In this episode, I dive into how dating apps are designed to keep us scrolling, how they mess with our psychology and attachment patterns, and why the endless choice paradox leaves us more disconnected than ever. I’ll also share a few of my own Tinder horror stories (yes, I’ve fallen victim to the algorithm too) to keep it real. If you’ve ever wondered why modern dating feels like a game you can’t win, ...

The Madonna - Whore Complex EP222

This podcast is about the Madonna–Whore Complex. Aka, that outdated (but still alive and kicking) belief system that splits women into two categories: the “pure, marriage material” saint, or the “wild, desirable” sinner. We’ll unpack how this shows up in dating, sex, and relationships today, why some men still can’t hold both sides of a woman at once, and how this split quietly sabotages intimacy.

Do Men Actually Want Emotionally Mature Women? & "Hysteria" In Women EP220

In this episode Eliza discusses the history of "hysteria" in women and also a question that stirs both curiosity and discomfort: Do men truly want emotionally intelligent women.. or just the idea of one? We unpack the gap between what many men say they desire in a partner (emotional depth, vulnerability, and strong communication) and the reality of how confronting those qualities can be in practice. I dive into the psychology behind why emotional maturity in a woman can feel threatening, overwhe...

The Soft Boy Epidemic (Weaponised Vulnerability) EP216

In this episode, Eliza unpacks the concept of weaponised vulnerability — when people use emotional language and therapeutic buzzwords not to heal, but to avoid accountability. From over-sharing as a smokescreen to claiming “self-awareness” while continuing harmful behaviours, she explores how vulnerability can sometimes be performative rather than reparative. If you’ve ever felt confused by someone who sounded emotionally intelligent but acted emotionally immature, this one’s for you. To contact...

The Orgasm Gap in Straight Relationships (we need to talk)

Eliza unpacks the truth behind the orgasm gap — why women in heterosexual relationships are having significantly fewer orgasms than men, and why it has far more to do with power, patriarchy, and performance than with biology. She dives deep into how sex has been shaped by cultural conditioning, male-centric scripts, and media that prioritise his pleasure while teaching women to suppress or perform their own. From faking orgasms to tolerating “just okay” sex, Eliza breaks down why so many women f...

Porn, AI Sex, Escapism, and Erotic Numbness

We need to talk about the shadow side of sex — the ways it’s used not as a form of connection, but as a distraction, a manipulation tool, or an emotional numbing device. In this episode, we dive deep into the behaviours that look like sexual liberation on the surface, but underneath are often rooted in avoidance, shame, trauma, and unmet emotional needs. From compulsive porn use and casual sex that leaves you emptier than before, to the rise of AI-generated porn, deepfakes, and chatbots that rep...
