No Plus-One, No Problem

Psst...if you have a minute, could you follow us on YouTube and rate us five stars on Spotify? Love you! Mean it. This week, Sarah and I sink our teeth into what might be the meatiest And Just Like That episode yet—one that hits every theme we love to unpack. We talk traditional gender roles, the messy intersection of masculinity and femininity, and the complicated emotions family and friends navigate when a loved one comes out as queer, trans, or non-binary. And, of course, we get into the big one: the stigma around being single. From Carrie’s agent pushing her to tack on a “happy ending” to her manuscript, to Seema’s offer that forces Carrie to confront her life without a partner, this episode asks—what if being alone is actually the point? I share why that scene resonated with me, and how reframing singlehood as a choice (not a failure) can change everything. We also dissect Charlotte’s emotional moment with Rock, Miranda’s rocky Thanksgiving guest list, and Harry’s selective memory about who he really is as a partner. Plus, we’ve got a juicy “f*ck that person” letter that proves core values matter more than love when it comes to lasting compatibility. ✨ If you haven’t already, be sure to follow us on our new socials so you don’t miss anything: Instagram/Threads: ⁠@worththeweightshow⁠ TikTok: ⁠@worththeweightshow⁠ YouTube: ⁠@worththeweightshow⁠ Substack: ⁠WorthTheWeightShow.Substack.com 👀 Got a dating dilemma?
