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, and why so many men would rather hurt a woman than admit they’re hurt by a woman. We talk emotional ...

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, honestly.) From there, we dive into Carrie’s new downstairs neighbor, a pipe-smoking author who wants ...

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 saved the day with the new podcast artwork. Then we dive into TikTok’s Man of the Year trend, featur...

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, Charlotte’s club adventures, Seema’s “don’t back up” moment, and the many ways this show seems determined...

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 grief journaling project she's launching, and why these extra photo requests are basically softcore boun...

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 woman who used to have an Ivy League admissions binder ready in preschool. We break down the symbolis...

We're back, and so are the ladies!

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 attraction. We also unpack the insidious nature of emotional manipulation, the reality of trauma bonds, and...

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 emotionally available partners can feel “off,” and how repetition compulsion makes you chase familiar pain —...

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. And finally, a man drooling over the idea of a threesome—as long as it’s emotionally convenient an...

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. It’s vulnerable, it’s reflective, and yeah—it’s a little spicy. LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE ...

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: inconsistent texting, weirdly distant behavior, and that gut feeling that you’re trying harder than the...

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 feeling stuck and second-guessing everything after a six-week situationship came to an abrupt end. We tal...

In this episode, we dive into the complex and chilling world of dating a dark empath. These individuals possess high emotional intelligence and empathy but use their deep understanding of human emotions to manipulate, control, and deceive. Unlike narcissists or psychopaths who lack empathy, dark empaths are keenly aware of others' feelings and motivations, making them masters of subtle manipulation. They can charm, guilt-trip, and influence others while maintaining a façade of kindness and compa...

We’ll also introduce a concept called "boomerasking" —a communication style that might be sabotaging your first-date conversations without you even realizing it. Are you unknowi...

In this episode, we dive into a recent Dear Prudence letter from Slate , where a man claims he just can’t find a woman—despite making little effort. We unpack the entitlement behind statements like these, why some men feel relationships should fall into their laps, and how this mindset reflects a deeper misunderstanding of dating and connection. Is it really about “not finding anyone,” or is it about refusing to do the work? We also discuss how women can spot these red flags early and avoid wast...

Their relationship had been strained due to communication breakdowns and life pressures, but he trusted her until uncovering late-night calls and suspicious activity surrounding a recent trip. Despite his efforts to rebuild their marriage, she offers little reassurance, evades accountability, and shifts blame onto him. Sarah and I have differing persp...

A listener writes in to spill the tea (literally) about a high-profile professional's wife who confessed to scaring her husband into fidelity. She faked an affair accusation with help from her family, spies on his phone, and constantly keeps him on edge—all while calling it "playing around." Her reasoning? It keeps him at home and loyal.
