Character Analysis

Being an empath with extreme pattern recognition is a blessing and a curse. You can spot the shady people from a mile away, often months before everyone in your social circle. The downside is that it can be draining and sometimes dangerous to be that intuitive. In this episode, I talk about why being so adept at reading people can often make you a target.DEPRESSION, SELF-CARE, AND BEAUTY/SKINCARE PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONSMy Amazon Storefront is filled with my favorite self-care, depression and anxiety tools, skincare, beauty products, and the little things that make life feel a bit more manageable.⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/shop/mycharacteranalysis⁠⁠YOUTUBE & TIKTOK CHANNELSIf you have a moment, please give them a follow!Character Analysis: True Crime⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MyCharacterAnalysis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@mycharacteranalysis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Character Analysis Podcast - Breaking down human behavior in dating, internet culture & dark psychology.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@CharacterAnalysisPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@characteranalysispod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you don’t wish to commit to a monthly subscription, there’s another way to support my efforts.

On its face, A Toxic Love Story is about cyberstalking, online harassment, and a love triangle gone wrong. But after careful examination, it’s actually a tale about the dangers male-centered women present and how triangulation is used in abusive relationships.*This episode contains spoilers from the documentary******************************************************Join the Inner Circle******************************************************Subscribe to my Substack or Patreon for $5 a month and you'll receive: Access to our private chats and private live streams and voice calls on Discord and SubstackRegular subscriber-only videos, posts, and podcast episodes and eacss to the full archiveSubstackhttps://characteranalysispod.substack.com/subscribePatreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/characteranalysispod******************************************************Follow Me ******************************************************https://www.youtube.com/@CharacterAnalysisPodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@characteranalysispod******************************************************Depression, Self-Care, Beauty & Skincare Recommendations******************************************************My Amazon Storefront is filled with my favorite self-care, depression and anxiety tools, skincare, beauty products, and the little things that make life feel a bit more manageable.https://www.amazon.com/shop/mycharacteranalysis******************************************************Buy Me A Coffee******************************************************If you don’t wish to commit to a monthly subscription, there’s another way to support my efforts.

In this episode, I break down a viral Threads video that many people believed showed a "crazy ex girlfriend." But after watching it multiple times and slowing it down frame by frame, I noticed details that completely changed my interpretation.We look at the edited cuts, body language, verbal statements, and behaviors that were easy to miss on a first viewing. Rather than discussing guilt or innocence, this is an exercise in critical thinking and behavioral analysis. It is a reminder that short, edited clips on social media rarely tell the whole story.I also discuss why victims of abuse often beg their partners not to leave, why trauma bonding can make behavior appear confusing to outsiders, and how selective editing can shape public perception before viewers have all the facts.Fuck this guy.New Youtube & TikTok ChannelsIf you have a moment, please give them a follow!https://www.youtube.com/@CharacterAnalysisPodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@characteranalysispodIf you don’t wish to commit to a monthly subscription, there’s another way to support my efforts.

Enjoy the latest episode of Character Analysis.How about we stop normalizing quickie engagements?Yesterday, People magazine announced the engagement of influencer Danielle Walter and her boyfriend, Lucas Alcantara. True to form, any woman who expressed skepticism about the upcoming nuptials was labeled a Bitter Betty. Because when a relationship is built in public, God forbid people analyze what they see. And what many see is a big, bright bouquet of red flags.In this episode, I’m talking fast-tracked relationships, curated transparency, influencer echo chambers, and why women are still expected to ignore red flags and context clues in favor of blind support.✒️JOIN ME ON SUBSTACKADHD dog sitter with a trauma recovery background.

Carrie Bradshaw gave us a lot of ideas. Not all of them were good. A creator recently shared a story about a “social experiment” she conducted with her friends. She invited about 25 women to celebrate her 35th birthday with a destination trip and was devastated by the response she got from her friends.Enjoy a preview of this week's subscriber-only Character Analysis episode.

Hey there! It's been a minute. Christan has launched her solo podcast (with occasional appearances by Sarah) called Character Analysis. Here's the latest CA episode. If you like it, come on over and subscribe.Narcissist. Psychopath. Sadist.These labels explode every time a case like Bryan Kohberger’s hits the headlines — but do any of them actually mean something in a courtroom?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ziv E. Cohen, a forensic psychiatrist, to unpack how mental-health defenses really work, including what Luigi Mangione’s potential mental-health defenses might look like — and where they fall apart. We spend significant time on Bryan Kohberger, digging into the role of sadism, fantasy, control, and narcissistic traits, and why those patterns matter when people are searching for motive. We also pull comparisons to Bundy and BTK, exploring why the same psychological questions resurface across cases.⌚Timestamp Breakdown01:22 – 03:12How forensic psychiatry works: profiling, ethics, pattern recognition. 03:12 – 07:56Luigi Mangione case: deliberate violence, psychopathy vs sadism, why impulse and psychosis don’t fit. 07:56 – 11:59Psychosis, manifestos, grandiosity, and how writings factor into mental health defenses. 11:59 – 17:53Extreme Emotional Disturbance, insanity defenses, and why Luigi’s legal options are limited. 17:53 – 23:14Brian Kohberger: motive-less violence, criminology obsession, and psychopathy frameworks. 23:14 – 29:45Fan culture, hybristophilia, narcissism, control, and psychological sadism. 29:45 – 36:45Fear, power, sexual sadism, and why Idaho looks different from Luigi’s case. 36:45 – 39:56Final reflections, why “why” may be unknowable, bonus episode + wrap-up.Dr. Ziv E.

This is the penultimate episode of Worth the Weight before we wrap things up next week — and pivot into my new podcast, Character Analysis. After years of exploring dating, identity, and mental health, I’m taking everything I’ve learned and going deeper into where true crime, psychology, and pop culture collide.In this episode, I break down the difference between narcissistic traits and Narcissistic Personality Disorder, how narcissists charm and manipulate social situations, and why we’re so often drawn to them. From Blair Waldorf to Patrick Bateman, Regina George to Joe Goldberg, I unpack the spectrum of narcissism — from magnetic to malignant.Make sure to follow my new podcast Character Analysis on Spotify, Youtube, and Tiktok.Youtube and Tiktok @mycharacteranalysisSpotify https://open.spotify.com/show/30KnouvFE8dJZct6SMea4D?si=1SUo5NO3REqqOqU4TDZaiA

Dating while neurodivergent can feel like playing a game where everyone else got the rulebook and you’re improvising. This week, Sarah and I sit down with Brit, an autism specialist, to unpack the real challenges (and surprising strengths) of dating with ADHD, autism, and beyond.

This week, Sarah and I had what I’m calling our “first fight” — over women getting engaged to their AI boyfriends.

Carrie finally centers herself. Took you long enough, sis.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.✨Subscribe to this Patreon and join the inner circle. 💅In addition to the weekly public Worth The Weight episodes, you’ll get:💘Bi-weekly Worth the WEIGHT subscriber-only podcast episodes about dating, beauty standards, pop culture analysis, and mental health🧠Regular subscriber-only podcast episodes, videos, and posts with real talk on dating, pop culture analysis, trauma healing, and some truly excellent F*ck That Guy storiesSUBSCRIBE HERE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ If you haven’t already, be sure to follow us on our new socials so you don’t miss anything:Instagram/Threads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WorthTheWeightShow.Substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👀 Got a dating dilemma?

I’m digging into the difference between being valued for your vibe versus your value—and why so many of us are exhausted by being treated like a mood instead of a whole person. I discuss dating apps, performative chemistry, boundaries, and the subtle ways women are trained to shrink their substance to stay likable.If you’ve ever put effort into showing your depth only to be reduced to “hot in that dress,” this one’s for you.Make sure to like, comment, and subscribe if this resonates—or pisses you off in a productive way.✨Subscribe to this Patreon and join the inner circle. 💅In addition to the weekly public Worth The Weight episodes, you’ll get:💘Bi-weekly Worth the WEIGHT subscriber-only podcast episodes about dating, beauty standards, pop culture analysis, and mental health🧠Regular subscriber-only podcast episodes, videos, and posts with real talk on dating, pop culture analysis, trauma healing, and some truly excellent F*ck That Guy storiesSUBSCRIBE HERE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ If you haven’t already, be sure to follow us on our new socials so you don’t miss anything:Instagram/Threads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WorthTheWeightShow.Substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👀 Got a dating dilemma?

This week’s episode of Worth The Weight is a wild ride. First, Sarah and I break down the latest episode of And Just Like That, where Carrie mistakes attention for intellectual validation, Miranda confuses judgment for curiosity, and Seema somehow turns a plant into a red flag. (Girl, it’s chlorophyll not trauma.)But that’s just the warm-up.Then we dig into a listener letter about a guy who seems great on paper—until the paper starts burning. It sparks a much-needed convo about core values—what they are, why they matter, and how to spot the difference between surface-level chemistry and actual compatibility. (Spoiler: Just because you both like road trips doesn't mean you're soulmates.)I break down the five tiers of core values and show you how to suss out emotional intelligence early—yes, even before the third date.And finally, we talk about the fuck that guy of all fuck that guys: Russell Hartley. If you don’t know him, consider yourself lucky. If you do, we’re serving a takedown so savage it might need its own trigger warning. From red-pill grifter to "girl’s girl" rebrand, we dissect why some male “dating coaches” are just digital predators with ring lights.So pour the scotch you probably keep around for him, and press play. This one’s got it all: fake feminists, fake publishing chemistry, and the very real importance of knowing your worth.✨ Center yourself. De-center men.

To listen to the full episode, subscribe to our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/c/worththeweightshowIt’s just me this week, and I’m diving into something I know so many of us struggle with: how to use dating apps without completely wrecking your nervous system (and your self-worth). In this bonus episode, I break down what apps are really doing to your brain and body — from the dopamine rollercoasters to the rejection spirals — and more importantly, how to protect your peace while still putting yourself out there.I share practical strategies to avoid burnout, recognize dysregulation, and date from a place of clarity instead of chaos. I also talk about how I’ve been using journaling — and let’s be real, an embarrassing number of pens and highlighters — as a grounding tool to process the emotional ups and downs that come with app culture.Journaling If you want to try journaling as a way to regulate your nervous system, you can check out some of my favorite tools ⁠at this link.⁠ As an Amazon Associate, I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases — and yes, it all goes right back into my planner addiction.Whether you're actively swiping or on the verge of deleting everything, this one’s for you.Flirty, Fun, and Zero Cringe: TableTopics for First Dates⁠Table Topics⁠ conversation starter cards go way beyond “What do you do for work?” These questions are equal parts fun, unexpected, and wildly revealing.

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 still the same insecure guy from 2002, and how emotional labor shows up in the tiniest moments (looking at you, Herbert).Plus, a rare scene that made me cry—in a good way. Miranda opens up, Joy doesn’t flinch, and we talk about what it really means to share your baggage without dumping it.Also: crystal deodorant, passive-aggressive dinner invites, and the official start of Fuck That Guy Fall.

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 all—we also dive into the emotional mess that is Aiden 2.0. This man really said, “When did I become the bad guy?” as if gaslighting your partner, overstaying your welcome, and sabotaging her career meeting with a bestselling author isn’t textbook man-baby behavior. (Spoiler: it’s been 20 years, bro.)We break down the week’s And Just Like That episode—where self-abandonment is still trending, sober compatibility gets tested, and someone almost cheats (again) with someone named Marion. We also explore the very real emotional gymnastics women perform to keep the peace, hold the line, and hold their own.Come for the sarcasm, stay for the heartbreak, and don’t forget to decenter mediocre men.Time Breakdown (because consent includes skipping the recap):00:00 – And Just Like That Recap: Emotional manipulation, mid-life self-abandonment, and man-baby tantrums19:00 – LTW’s creative chemistry: harmless crush or looming chaos?30:00 – Miranda’s gin dilemma: alcoholish, addiction, or just plain denial?49:00 – Fuck That Guy Palooza: The Astronomer CEO, HR side chick, and the cold slap of Chris Martin60:00 – Patreon bonus episodes, dating advice updates, and final thoughts✨Subscribe to this Patreon and join the inner circle. 💅In addition to the weekly public Worth The Weight episodes, you’ll get:💘Bi-weekly Worth the WEIGHT subscriber-only podcast episodes about dating, beauty standards, pop culture analysis, and mental health🧠Regular subscriber-only podcast episodes, videos, and posts with real talk on dating, pop culture analysis, trauma healing, and some truly excellent F*ck That Guy storiesSUBSCRIBE HERE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ If you haven’t already, be sure to follow us on our new socials so you don’t miss anything:Instagram/Threads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WorthTheWeightShow.Substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👀 Got a dating dilemma?

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 unavailable, avoidant, or just plain rude—and why so many women internalize shame when men show zero empathy.Then we dive into a second letter from someone dating a guy who’s “nice” but totally shut off emotionally. We talk about how to tell the difference between avoidant behavior and a man who’s simply not invested—and why consistency is the key.✨Subscribe to this Patreon and join the inner circle. 💅In addition to the weekly public Worth The Weight episodes, you’ll get:💘Bi-weekly Worth the WEIGHT subscriber-only podcast episodes about dating, beauty standards, pop culture analysis, and mental health🧠Regular subscriber-only podcast episodes, videos, and posts with real talk on dating, pop culture analysis, trauma healing, and some truly excellent F*ck That Guy storiesSUBSCRIBE HERE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ If you haven’t already, be sure to follow us on our new socials so you don’t miss anything:Instagram/Threads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WorthTheWeightShow.Substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👀 Got a dating dilemma?

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 was right there and did not sing), Joy’s tragic gift mix-up, Harry’s redemption arc (that’s our guy!), and how Carrie’s entire personality shapeshifts depending on which man is orbiting her that week.Also: Miranda was thriving. Lily was sulking. Charlotte deserved a better party. And the writers clearly stopped caring about continuity somewhere around 2022.And yes—Carrie really said she’s been with Aidan for 20 years.

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 friendships continue to be the most stable, honest, and life-saving relationships on this show.Charlotte’s quietly falling apart as she keeps Harry’s diagnosis a secret, and when she finally breaks—in the middle of Duane Reade, no less. This episode calls back to one of our favorite Sex and the City scenes: the Shabbos dinner. It was a turning point for Charlotte, and this week’s breakdown feels like another. Her fear, her silence, her invisible labor—it all crashes through the surface.Also: Lisa’s grieving (again), Miranda’s redecorating her life for someone she barely knows, and Carrie’s still emotionally editing herself to keep the peace.If you’ve ever looked like you had it together while slowly unraveling—this one’s for you.⏱️ AJLT Recap – Core Episode Moments00:00 – Aidan breaks the window, foreshadowing the cracks in their relationship.01:45 – He confesses to sleeping with his ex; Carrie absorbs it without reaction.05:10 – Neither of them discussed monogamy—because women are expected to just know.09:20 – Aidan’s jealousy flares the moment Carrie gets attention elsewhere.17:45 – Charlotte collapses under the weight of Harry’s health secret in Duane Reade.20:30 – The Shabbos dinner callback marks another shift in Charlotte’s emotional arc.24:50 – Lisa’s father dies (again), and she’s buried in guilt for missing the call.27:00 – Carrie shows up for Charlotte—the realest relationship in the show.✨Subscribe to this Patreon and join the inner circle. 💅In addition to the weekly public Worth The Weight episodes, you’ll get:💘Bi-weekly Worth the WEIGHT subscriber-only podcast episodes about dating, beauty standards, pop culture analysis, and mental health🧠Regular subscriber-only podcast episodes, videos, and posts with real talk on dating, pop culture analysis, trauma healing, and some truly excellent F*ck That Guy storiesSUBSCRIBE HERE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ If you haven’t already, be sure to follow us on our new socials so you don’t miss anything:Instagram/Threads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WorthTheWeightShow.Substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👀 Got a dating dilemma?

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 dysregulation, scorekeeping in dating, and how apps are turning everyone into exhausted, defensive messes waiting for the other shoe to drop.I also open up about how dating apps used to send my rejection sensitivity dysphoria into overdrive—and why so many of us with ADHD find these platforms especially brutal.Later in the episode, Sarah and I unpack a viral post from a woman who's been dating a guy for six weeks… and still doesn’t know if he’s attracted to her. No flirting, no physical affection, but sure, he did call her gorgeous once and laughed at her jokes. Is he just being respectful… or is he emotionally squatting for free therapy and attention?We also discuss why emotional labor shouldn’t be the price of admission just to date a man in 2025, how filtered social media has warped our sense of reality (especially his), and what it means when a man can't tell you what he wants—but definitely expects you to read his mind.Oh, and yes—Sarah shares how a series of confusing, chaste dates led to a marriage. So miracles still happen, apparently.⏱ Episode Breakdown01:42 – Ghosted, then told to unmatch him?

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 quiet but moves to Manhattan. The episode had me asking hard-hitting questions like: who the hell wears heels in their own home? Why is Carrie shocked that she has a neighbor when she bought the whole building? And why do both she and her new neighbor absolutely suck?We also talk about Miranda’s baffling transformation into a bumbling roommate, Charlotte keeping a heartbreaking secret, and why destination weddings might just be a quiet cry for fewer guests.If you’ve ever been shoe-shamed, roommate-shamed, or just need a place to scream “WHAT IS HAPPENING?” at your screen — this one’s for you.00:00 – 04:00 – Why this episode calls back to A Woman’s Right to ShoesWe break down the original SATC storyline and how it still hits in 2025.04:01 – 14:00 – Carrie vs. Duncan: The Noisy Neighbor Heels ShowdownCarrie refuses to take off her heels, Duncan wants library silence in NYC, and somehow both of them are insufferable. Also, can we talk about that Tom Hardy–esque gardener?14:01 – 21:00 – Miranda’s Naked Era (???)We unpack Miranda’s personality transplant, her naked hallway moment, and why physical comedy isn’t landing the way the writers think it is. Also, what happened to the Miranda who labeled her yogurt?21:01 – 26:00 – Charlotte’s Secret StruggleHarry’s prostate cancer diagnosis, Charlotte’s loyalty, and a personal story I share about grief, caregiving, and why we need to stop shielding loved ones from reality.26:01 – 31:00 – Shoe Shame, Self-Marriage, and Milestone RageWe go back to Carrie’s iconic self-marriage moment, and why women celebrating their own milestones still makes people clutch their pearls. We also talk about the societal double standards that continue to undervalue women’s achievements unless a man’s involved.This one’s part nostalgia, part rant, and a whole lot of feminist commentary — exactly how we like it.✨Subscribe to this Patreon and join the inner circle. 💅In addition to the weekly public Worth The Weight episodes, you’ll get:💘Bi-weekly Worth the WEIGHT subscriber-only podcast episodes about dating, beauty standards, pop culture analysis, and mental health🧠Regular subscriber-only podcast episodes, videos, and posts with real talk on dating, pop culture analysis, trauma healing, and some truly excellent F*ck That Guy storiesSUBSCRIBE HERE ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠✨ If you haven’t already, be sure to follow us on our new socials so you don’t miss anything:Instagram/Threads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack: ⁠⁠⁠⁠WorthTheWeightShow.Substack.com⁠⁠⁠👀 Got a dating dilemma?

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 one hits hard, especially if you come from a divorced family.Then we dive into two listener letters. The first comes from someone navigating a situationship that’s starting to feel like emotional breadcrumbing. She says she’s looking for something casual, but her response to slow replies tells a different story—and we talk about why “casual” might be the most misused word in modern dating.The second letter is all about dating whiplash: a great date, instant connection, and then... poof. We break down what’s really happening when people ghost after intimacy, how your nervous system gets hijacked, and why the shame spiral is the real enemy.Oh—and someone on TikTok asked if paying off your partner’s $70k student loan should count as a proposal. I had thoughts.If you’ve ever questioned your intuition after a letdown, or felt like you were asking for too much just by wanting a text back, this one’s for you.💌 Got a letter?

Enjoy a teaser of this week's And Just Like That Recap. To listen to the full episode, subscribe to our Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/c/worththeweightshowThis 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 long overdue focus on the core three characters to the emotional wreckage that is Aiden’s family dynamic.We dive deep into the chaos that is Wyatt—his VR assault on Carrie, the shattered glass moment (literally and metaphorically), and Aiden’s infuriating denial of reality. We talk about what this episode says about parenting, denial, neurodivergence, and how Carrie, for once, actually seems turned off by drama. Was this a soft breakup or just a soft launch into the inevitable end?We also touch on Miranda’s “wild cunt” moment, Lisa’s barely-there storyline, Seema’s independence era, and Harry’s midlife crisis (with a horny twist). Oh, and let’s not forget Charlotte navigating polyamory and porn downloads.Honestly? This episode gave us everything: heart, cringe, chaos, and finally—finally—some emotional depth. And I have a theory about who Carrie’s next love interest might be (spoiler: it’s not Aiden).✨Subscribe to this Patreon and join the inner circle. 💅In addition to the weekly public Worth The Weight episodes, you’ll get:💘Bi-weekly Worth the WEIGHT subscriber-only podcast episodes about dating, beauty standards, pop culture analysis, and mental health🧠Regular subscriber-only podcast episodes, videos, and posts with real talk on dating, pop culture analysis, trauma healing, and some truly excellent F*ck That Guy storiesSUBSCRIBE HERE ⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/worththeweightshow⁠✨ If you haven’t already, be sure to follow us on our new socials so you don’t miss anything:Instagram/Threads: ⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠@worththeweightshow⁠⁠Substack: ⁠⁠WorthTheWeightShow.Substack.com⁠👀 Got a dating dilemma?

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, featuring unhinged text messages from men who have clearly never heard of shame—or spell check. We read a few aloud (with dramatic flair) and talk about what they reveal about modern dating, gender roles, and why so many women are “quiet quitting” relationships altogether.We also touch on our GLP-1 journeys, the emotional side of weight loss, and the infuriating reality of being more visible—but not necessarily more valued—as we shrink. And finally, we dig into the cost of simply existing in a female body after 40: the hormones, the doctor’s appointments, the fucking patriarchy.So pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of overpriced electrolyte water, and come feel seen.✨Subscribe to this Patreon and join the inner circle. 💅In addition to the weekly public Worth The Weight episodes, you’ll get:💘Bi-weekly Worth the WEIGHT subscriber-only podcast episodes about dating, beauty standards, pop culture analysis, and mental health🧠Regular subscriber-only podcast episodes, videos, and posts with real talk on dating, pop culture analysis, trauma healing, and some truly excellent F*ck That Guy storiesSUBSCRIBE HERE https://www.patreon.com/c/worththeweightshow✨ If you haven’t already, be sure to follow us on our new socials so you don’t miss anything:Instagram/Threads: ⁠@worththeweightshow⁠TikTok: ⁠@worththeweightshow⁠YouTube: ⁠@worththeweightshow⁠Substack: ⁠WorthTheWeightShow.Substack.com👀 Got a dating dilemma?

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 to forget its own history.We’re frustrated, confused, occasionally entertained—but mostly just committed to seeing it through so you don’t have to. Tune in for snark, side-eyes, and our running theory that Carrie’s writing career is as fake as her chill girlfriend persona.✨ If you haven’t already, be sure to follow us on our new socials so you don’t miss anything:Instagram/Threads: @worththeweightshowTikTok: @worththeweightshowYouTube: @worththeweightshowSubstack: WorthTheWeightShow.Substack.com

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 boundary tests.Then we dive into another letter: a man who ghosted a year ago suddenly resurfaces (because of course he does), drops a weak apology, and now wants to "talk"… whenever he's not too busy having lunch. We explain why you should stop interpreting crumbs as full-course meals, and why "if he wanted to, he would" remains undefeated.As always: value your time, decenter men, and whatever you do — don’t be delulu.💅Join the inner circle for juicier bonus contentEnjoy the episodes that are too spicy for the public feed.https://www.patreon.com/c/worththeweightshow✨ If you haven’t already, be sure to follow us on our new socials so you don’t miss anything:Instagram/Threads: @worththeweightshowTikTok: @worththeweightshowYouTube: @worththeweightshowSubstack: WorthTheWeightShow.Substack.com

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 symbolism (rats in the garden, anyone?), the not-so-subtle commentary on aging and shrinking yourself to be “more desirable,” Seema’s battle with the "you’re too picky" narrative, and how this show refuses to let single, successful women just be without trying to humble them.Plus: we pitch the dark plot twists the writers are too scared to give us.

To listen to the full episode, subscribe here on Spotify or go to our Patreon for extra bonus content. This week on Worth The Weight, Sarah and I are covering everything from GLP-1 chaos to the emotional rollercoaster of being noticeably smaller and mildly uncomfortable about people noticing. We're navigating the weird headspace of validation vs. self-worth vs. “am I doing this for me or for other people to say something?”Then we dive into the absolute circus that is dating while on GLP-1s — featuring stories of men who get weird when they find out you used to be fat, dudes who are terrified you might gain weight back, and the age-old question: why are men so fragile?PLUS: Sarah introduces me to The Ugly Stepsister — a Norwegian Cinderella retelling where tapeworms, sewn-on eyelashes, and sheer desperation meet our collective obsession with being effortlessly beautiful. Spoiler: the tapeworm is basically a metaphor for the emotional hunger we’re all carrying.And finally, we debate whether you owe your date an explanation for not drinking, whether being sober requires disclosure, and whether men actually care how women lose weight (spoiler: men barely understand how GLP-1s work at all).⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please be sure to rate us five stars on Spotify! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Just click the three small dots to enter your rating.👀 Got a dating dilemma?

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 how chaos gets misread as chemistry.And if that’s not enough? We read aloud a truly cursed “feminine energy” post that suggests sighing softly and smiling sadly to get a man’s attention — because nothing screams empowered like trying to out-manipulate someone who already doesn’t give a shit.Highlights include:Why “no spark at first” doesn’t mean you settled — it might mean you finally chose peace.How unpredictability creates trauma bonds (and why some men count on it).Why calm confrontation > emotional gymnastics.And most importantly: you are not a dating strategy.If you’ve ever been told to “give the nice guy a chance,” or if you’re rethinking what actual safety feels like in a relationship — this one’s for you.

Aging, ADHD, and the lie that weight loss fixes everything. Plus: Healing means circling back — this time with more clarity and fewer breakdowns.LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE - SUBSCRIBE HERE:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/dateologycoach/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠This week, Sarah and I dive into the latest on GLP-1s and why women seem to have a different experience with them than men (spoiler: hormones, age, and maybe how you jab yourself). We talk about what’s not being said — like how losing weight doesn’t always come with a confidence boost. Personally, I’ve become a little self-conscious about how much weight I’ve lost in my face. There’s this weird disconnect between how I feel and how I think I’m supposed to feel.We also talk about healing — real healing. The kind that’s messy and nonlinear. I’ve had moments where I thought I was “over” something, only to revisit it and feel that intense reaction all over again. But that’s not regression; that’s revisiting the pain with more awareness. And sometimes that’s the most powerful kind of progress there is.I also share how I’ve been getting my ADHD chaos under control — or at least trying to. I’m journaling more, using a planner (shocking, I know), and sticking to a to-do list that doesn’t instantly get buried under ten tabs and a pile of dog hair. These tools have helped me process some really tough emotions, especially after losing Sam. It’s been less about “getting back on track” and more about creating structure that actually supports me.If you’ve ever felt emotionally scrambled while also trying to get your life together, this one’s for you.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please be sure to rate us five stars on Spotify! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Just click the three small dots to enter your rating.👀 Got a dating dilemma?

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 — not because you’re broken, but because your brain is trying to fix the past. Spoiler: it never works.Plus: Fuck That Guy Summerfest continues with a sweaty mustache bro who’s out here raw-dogging the sidewalk with bad boundaries, peak audacity, and zero self-awareness.We get into:Trauma as a matchmakerRepetition compulsion in datingAnxiety vs. intuition — how to tell the differenceGhosting, self-trust, and breaking the cycle👀 Got a dating dilemma?

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 and doesn’t threaten his fragile ego.Then, we pivot to something that truly touched us: a beautiful message from a longtime listener who credits this podcast with helping her leave a toxic relationship and choose herself. Spoiler: it ends in love, green flags, and a baby. Yes, we cried. Yes, you might too.⁠Please be sure to rate us five stars on Spotify! ⁠Just click the three small dots to enter your rating.👀 Got a dating dilemma? A ghosting mystery?

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 EPISODE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/dateologycoach/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠SUBMIT YOUR DATING QUESTIONS HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Submit your dating questions here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Want more Dateology Coach in your life?

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 they are.As we read her letter, we unpack all the little signs of self-abandonment — saying yes when you want to say no, keeping your feelings quiet so you don’t seem “too much,” and hoping that if you’re just patient enough, they’ll change. (Spoiler: they usually don’t.)We also talk about how these patterns often come from early life experiences (yes, I got personal — I shared a story about my own father that really shaped the way I viewed love and approval). If you’ve ever found yourself over-explaining, over-giving, or just plain exhausted from trying to “earn” someone’s affection, this episode is for you.Pour yourself a drink, get cozy, and let’s talk about why you deserve to stop shrinking yourself for someone else’s comfort.GET EXCLUSIVE CONTENT & BONUS EPISODESWhen you become a paid subscriber, here’s what you’ll get inside our little inner circle:✨ Bi-weekly Worth the Weight episodesHonest convos about GLP-1 journeys, body image, mental health, burnout, and everything in between.

Influencers are lying, your body’s in survival mode, and we’re done pretending otherwise.Enjoy a teaser of this week's Worth The Weight episode!LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/dateologycoach/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠This week on Worth The Weight, we’re diving deep into how living in a constant state of fight or flight impacts our mental health, our relationship with food, and our bodies.Chronic stress keeps our cortisol levels elevated, which can lead to anxiety, burnout, emotional eating, and stubborn weight gain. But it often goes deeper than everyday stress — unresolved trauma can wire our nervous system to stay in survival mode long-term. We unpack how past trauma keeps us stuck in this heightened state, hijacking our hunger cues, sleep, mood, and metabolism, and share strategies for breaking the cycle and calming the body.We also get into the viral story of body-positive influencer Remi Bader, who recently revealed on Khloé Kardashian's podcast that she secretly had gastric sleeve surgery to lose weight. Her revelation left her followers feeling blindsided and betrayed.We explore the toxic dynamics of parasocial relationships, the pressure influencers face to appear “authentic,” and whether Remi owed her community more transparency. Plus, we take a hard look at the culture of dishonesty in influencer spaces and what it means for those of us seeking real, honest conversations about body image and wellness.Join us for this honest, no-holds-barred conversation!🚨 Want more of the real talk you’re getting from the pod?

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 talk through the anxiety loop, the craving for reassurance, and how hard it is not to take it personally when someone pulls away.If you’ve ever found yourself analyzing text messages like they’re part of a true crime case, wondering if you’re “too much,” or feeling like you're always one step away from being ghosted—this one’s for you. Because here’s the truth: your need for connection isn’t a flaw. It just needs to be met by someone who can actually show up. And as always, our motto stands strong: Fuck That Guy.SUBMIT YOUR DATING QUESTIONS HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Submit your dating questions here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BECOME A VIP - JOIN OUR COMMUNITYJoin our community as a paid subscriber to receive access to bonus advice/humor podcast episodes as well as our bi-weekly Worth The Weight episodes.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/dateologycoach/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TUNE IN TO OUR NEW BI-WEEKLY SEGMENT "WORTH THE WEIGHT"In our new segment, Worth the Weight, we dive into our personal experiences with GLP-1 medications, sharing the highs, lows, and everything in between.

Worth The Weight is a bi-weekly segment for Spotify subscribers only. This episode of Worth The Weight takes a deeper dive into mental health and ADHD—something I’m really excited to explore as we expand the scope of the series.This week, I had an unexpected trigger after returning Sam, the senior chihuahua, to her owner. It brought up some old compulsive habits, and I reflect on how I’ve handled similar moments in the past. I also talk about how tirzepatide may have helped me break the cycle of using junk food as a coping mechanism.We also get into how ADHD affects our eating habits and productivity—because let’s be honest, the connection is real. Whether it’s impulsive snacking, struggling with structure, or chasing that next dopamine hit, ADHD plays a bigger role in all of this than we often realize.Plus, we discuss the recent halt in compounding production and what it means for those who rely on it.

In this episode, we discuss a fascinating New York Times podcast episode about the evolving role of artificial intelligence in daily life. Journalist Kashmir Hill explores the story of a woman whose relationship with a chatbot went far beyond casual conversation and became sexual—raising questions about AI, emotional attachment, and the future of human-computer interaction.Then, we get personal—breaking down the inconsistencies, the backlash, and what happens when simply asking questions makes you a target. A journalist took issue with my skepticism, attacking me instead of addressing the actual concerns I raised. Why was she so defensive? When does investigative journalism cross the line into gatekeeping? And why is it that when women challenge a narrative, we’re labeled as troublemakers or attention-seekers, while men are praised for their critical thinking? Most importantly, why is questioning evidence suddenly seen as a threat rather than a necessity?Join us as we explore the fine line between curiosity and controversy—and why, in both cases, critical thinking is more important than ever.SUBMIT YOUR DATING QUESTIONS HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Submit your dating questions here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BECOME A VIP - JOIN OUR COMMUNITYJoin our community as a paid subscriber to receive access to bonus advice/humor podcast episodes as well as our bi-weekly Worth The Weight episodes.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/dateologycoach/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TUNE IN TO OUR NEW BI-WEEKLY SEGMENT "WORTH THE WEIGHT"In our new segment, Worth the Weight, we dive into our personal experiences with GLP-1 medications, sharing the highs, lows, and everything in between.

In this episode, we dive into the bizarre and controversial world of Luigi Mangione's fanbase, exploring how a man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson amassed such a devoted following. Inspired by the article, Inside the Luigi Mangione State Criminal Case, we unpack the competitive nature of his female supporters, who vie for his attention during court appearances, and how their fervor has contributed to a negative public perception.Why are these women so captivated by a man facing such serious charges? What drives their intense loyalty and competitive behavior? And how has this affected the broader narrative surrounding the case? Join us as we analyze the complex dynamics of this unusual fandom and the unsettling ways it influences public opinion, media portrayal, and perhaps even the justice system itself.
