    being single is better than settling: healing after a breakup & dating with standards ft. Emma Paige

    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. How do you not self-abandon in a relationship? How do you walk away from someone who's great on paper but you just don’t feel excited about it? How do you actually enjoy being single instead of treating it like a waiting room? And how does raising your standards actually make dating MORE fun, not harder? In this episode we cover: healing after a breakup without losing your confidence how to stop settling in dating rebuilding your standards after heartbreak why high standards attract better partners walking away from someone who’s good on paper how to enjoy being single and stop rushing a relationship dating in your 30s and choosing intentionally not self-abandoning in relationships boundaries, self-respect, and emotional availability why patience leads to a healthier long-term relationship creating a life that attracts the right partner If you're single, heartbroken, or just trying to figure out what you deserve—this episode is gonna hit different. This conversation is equal parts therapy session and pep talk, and I promise you're gonna walk away feeling so empowered. We talk about what happens when you stop dating out of fear and start dating with clarity—why some breakups feel devastating while others feel like relief, and how building a full life actually changes who you attract. This episode is about self-worth, boundaries, and the mindset shift that leads to healthier relationships and real commitment. As always, take whatever resonates & leave the rest.

    Class is in session, ladies—Niko Emanuilidis, host of The Daddy Academy, is here with your complete guide to dating in 2026. We’re getting into what actually makes a man want to commit, why dating feels so confusing right now, and how to actually attract the relationship you’ve always wanted. Niko shares what men are truly thinking in the early stages of dating, how to get approached more IRL, and the biggest mistakes women are making.

We also cover: why men pull away in dating how to know if a man is serious about you masculine vs. feminine energy in dating what your social media says about you (& do guys notice?) tangible ways to get approached in the wild how to shift your mindset to confidently enjoy dating questions you need to ask in early dating how men ultimately decide on a relationship how to attract better partners understanding your preferences vs. dealbreakers Whether you’re dating, single, healing, or in a situationship you’re lowkey tired of explaining, this episode will help you understand dating dynamics and feel more empowered in your choices.

    how to become your own best friend (& actually trust yourself)

    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 h03 for a bubble bath, k). We’re talking: self-talk, learning to trust your intuition, regulating your emotions, fostering community, staying curious, and letting yourself take up all the space you desire. We also cover: building self-trust and confidence emotional regulation and nervous system awareness setting boundaries without guilt personal growth and mindset shifts strengthening your relationship with yourself showing up for yourself in friendships and relationships And more. I hope there’s something in here you needed, and as always, I’d love to know what it was. LOVE YOU. x SAY HI: follow Lisa on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ follow Lisa on ⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠ follow Unwineding on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ follow Unwineding on ⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠ subscribe to Unwineding on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠ shop Unwineding’s ⁠⁠⁠⁠storefront Learn more about your ad choices.

    how to stop playing it safe & build your dream life ft. Taylor Popik

    "If it's your calling, it won't stop calling you." This week on Unwineding, I’m joined by Taylor Popik for a calming, inspiring and honest conversation about what it really looks like to stop playing it safe and start building a life that feels aligned. Taylor shares her journey from practicing law in New York to becoming a full-time content creator, yoga teacher, and entrepreneur—and how trusting herself changed everything. We talk about redefining success, choosing fulfillment over fear, and releasing the pressure to have it all figured out. This episode is for anyone craving clarity, confidence, and permission to take one aligned step forward, even when the path isn’t fully clear yet. And there's a little dating and friendship talk, OF COURSE. As always, take whatever resonates and leave the rest.

    lessons about life, love & friendship I wish I knew sooner

    Things you know I love: lessons and lists. And we’re back (hi, missed you!) with the first solo episode of 2026—and I’m sharing the life, love, and friendship lessons I’m intentionally carrying forward this year. These are the shifts that changed how I date, how I show up in my friendships, and how I move through my own life—the ones I wish I’d learned sooner, and the ones I’m finally honoring now. Consider this episode a reminder that growth doesn’t come from doing more; it comes from seeing things differently. If you’re in a season of choosing yourself, re-evaluating your relationships, or craving clarity and self-trust, I hope you’ll feel seen here. As always, take whatever you need and leave the rest. LOVE YOU.
