    Are You Toxic or Just Tired? How Sleep Affects Your Relationships Ft. Todd Anderson

    Are you actually toxic… or are you just chronically exhausted?  In this episode of MissJudged, Alyssa Pettinato sits down with sleep expert Todd Anderson—who wastes absolutely no time roasting her for proudly running on six hours of sleep and believing she’s “thriving” because her Oura Ring told her so. (Todd would like everyone to know: that’s not thriving.) Together, they break down how sleep deprivation quietly hijacks your personality, emotional stability, attachment style, libido, and romantic relationships—especially for millennials who are burnt out, overstimulated, and under-rested. In this episode, we unpack: Are we needing a new relationship or just cranky?Are we going to work impaired?Can sleep hurt our relationships?!How many hours do you REALLY needHow does sleep impact libido?Why sleep impacts your death and potential illnessesYou SHOULD go to bed angry (what!?)Are sleep aides helpful??If you’ve been snapping at your partner, feeling emotionally off, questioning your sex drive, or wondering why everything feels harder than it should—this episode might save you thousands in therapy by confirming one thing: You’re probably not toxic.  You’re just tired.

    Friendship Breakups, Villain Energy and Letting Go Ft. @LindseySimcik

    Starting 2026 with a reminder to refresh more then just your closet. Friendship breakups don’t get enough airtime — and somehow they still manage to hurt more than romantic ones. In this episode, Alyssa is joined by Lindsey Simcik, (one half of the Almost 30 Podcast), for an honest, funny, and soulful conversation about what happens when friendships start to feel misaligned… and how to let go without turning yourself into the villain. We also hear Lindsey be very honest about working with a friend and her own friendship break ups. We talk about how to spot a bad or draining friendship (before you fully lose your mind), how to tell the difference between a friendship that needs a TIMEOUT  vs. one that’s actually over, and how to end things in a way that’s respectful both to them and to yourself.  We also get into the grief no one warns you about: losing someone who’s still alive, still online, and still popping up on your feed like nothing happened. Does it hurt worse then a romantic ending? Plus, we lighten things up with a round of Red Flag or Just a Phase, breaking down friend behaviors that make you question everything — and deciding whether it’s growth, misalignment, or a sign it’s time to quietly exit the group chat. This episode is for anyone who’s outgrowing people, struggling with guilt, or trying to choose peace without burning every bridge along the way. Sometimes letting go isn’t mean — it’s just honest.  Support the show Like what you hear? Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and tell a friend to help spread the word! The more, the merrier, right?

    Debunking Influencer Wellness and Crazy ER Stories Ft. @DocJudComedy

    Is wellness actually making us healthier… or just wasting our money and time?  In this episode, we’re joined by @DocJudComedy to officially separate medical facts from Instagram fiction. From mouth taping and cold plunges to hyperbaric chambers and Ozempic, we break down the viral wellness trends everyone is obsessing over—and ask the question no influencer wants to answer: is this actually helping us, or is it total BS? We get into why so many people are outsourcing their health decisions to social media, what these trends are really doing to your body, and where the line is between preventative care and full-blown wellness delusion. Doc brings the receipts, the science, and the brutal honesty—plus some wild ER stories you truly cannot make up (yes… including penis-related emergencies HA). To make it even better, we wrap with a rapid-fire “Healthy or Total B******t?” segment where nothing is safe and every trend gets judged. In this episode, we cover: Mouth taping: sleep hack or placebo?Cold plunges & ice baths—miracle or masochism?Hyperbaric chambers: elite recovery or luxury nonsense?Ozempic, weight loss culture, and what people aren’t talking aboutWhy influencer wellness advice spreads faster than real medical factsThe most unhinged ER stories Doc Judson has seen (you’ve been warned)Funny, unfiltered, and actually informative—this is the episode to listen to before you buy another wellness gadget you don’t need.

    HAPPY F***ING New Year- Learn How to Screen Your Dates (A SOLO episode!)

    To ring in the new year we are kicking off with some honesty. Y’all don’t know how to screen your dates. At least, that’s the verdict from Alyssa in this solo episode of the MissJudged podcast... She’s tackling the elephant in the room: most people have no idea how to properly screen for dating, and it’s why so many end up in bad matches, situationships, or just wasting their own time. Alyssa lays out the difference between what you need and what you want, why perfection checklists never work, and how dodging big conversations about marriage and kids only leads to disaster. She also shares real examples of how a little honesty up front could save months (or years) of heartache. From dating apps to real-life encounters, this episode is blunt, funny, and a reminder that the best way to find love isn’t more swipes, it’s learning how to screen smarter. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: The difference between what you need vs. what you just wantWhy situationships aren’t cute and how to stop falling into themThe one simple screening question that reveals red flags instantlyWhy “not sure” about kids and marriage is the biggest waste of timeThe truth about unrealistic dating checklists (and how to ditch them)How being direct from the start saves months, or even years, of heartbreakSupport the show Like what you hear?

    Why Are We Paying for The Sins of The Ex? Ft. @Bennyinc

    Alyssa and Benny Hart are back — and this week we’re dragging one of the most toxic dating habits of all time: making your new partner pay for your old partner’s crimes. Because let’s be honest… Just because your ex cheated doesn’t mean a three-hour text delay means your new boyfriend is also a cheater. Just because your ex ghosted, breadcrumbed, love-bombed, or weaponized “I’m busy” doesn't mean your current partner deserves a full FBI investigation every time they go silent for a second. In this stormy, vibey, hilarious episode, we break down: Why you STILL react to tiny triggers from past relationshipsHow to tell the difference between “intuition” and “trauma speaking”Signs you’re accidentally punishing your new partnerHow to spot someone who hasn’t healed before you date themThe psychology behind projection & emotional residueHow to date with self-awareness instead of paranoiaWhy your new partner shouldn’t be paying your ex’s emotional credit card billHave Benny and Alyssa fallen for this? Tune in to hear them share...Alyssa and Benny keep it bold, unfiltered, and a little unhinged — with thunderstorm background vibes to match the emotional chaos.If you’ve ever spiraled over something tiny, blamed someone for something they didn’t do, or realized you’re dating someone who’s still mad at their ex… this episode will feel like therapy you need!

    They’re Not the Problem- Your Mindset is Ft. @Madisonmalloy

    This week on the Missjudged Podcast, Alyssa and @MadisonMalloy deliver a much-needed reality check for anyone who’s ever said, “All the good ones are taken.” Spoiler: they’re not. You just might be dating with a terrible mindset, babe. If you’re tired of ghosting, red flags, and your friends telling you to “just manifest him,” this episode breaks down what’s actually getting in your way — and it’s not the apps, your ex, or the algorithm. It’s your own damn thoughts. Get ready to laugh, cringe, and maybe question your entire approach to dating as we unpack: Dating app burnout — Why swiping feels like a full-time job and how to detox without deleting Hinge (again). Lack of chemistry — The myth of “instant spark” and why sometimes the slow burn wins. Hanging with the wrong people — Why your situationships say more about your self-worth than you’d like to admit. Social media Infiltration— How comparing your love life to a highlight reel is making you miserable. Mindset mistakes — How bitterness, overthinking, and fear of rejection quietly sabotage your dating life.Madison and Alyssa keep it real, funny, and a little uncomfortable — because sometimes the truth hurts more than your last situationship. So pour a glass of wine, put your phone on “Do Not Disturb,” and get ready to trade your dating drama for some serious mindset clarity. Support the show Like what you hear?

    Sliding Into Chaos: DMs, Double Taps & Digital Drama Ft. @Gomezcomedy

    Welcome to the digital jungle — where romance begins with a “hey” and ends with a screenshot. In this episode of Missjudged, Alyssa and comedian Luis J. Gomez (@GomezComedy) take a brutally honest (and hysterical) deep dive into the modern dating minefield known as the DMs. From unsolicited “good morning” pics to messages that read like Craigslist ads for emotional damage, nothing is off-limits. They dissect the delicate art of the slide — the flirty emoji, the “accidental” story view, and the 2 a.m. double-tap that everyone pretends was innocent. Alyssa and Luis swap real stories from the DM trenches: the guy who lived in Alyssa’s DMs for 9 years, and the girl who went full send with a nude. They unpack why social media has turned dating into a public-relations nightmare — where every like, comment, and tagged location can start an argument. Is it cheating if he’s just “networking”? And why does everyone suddenly become a part-time FBI agent when their situationship goes quiet online? Expect plenty of chaotic laughter, hot takes, and unsolicited advice as Alyssa and Luis expose how sliding into the DMs can go from cute to catastrophic in three messages or less. Highlights include:  The unsolicited pic epidemic and the “anatomy photo rating system” no one asked for The most unhinged opening messages ever received How digital validation fuels relationship insecurity The psychology of blocking And the honest truth about who really slides first The most unhinged opening messages ever receivedIt’s funny, unfiltered, and a little too relatable — a full breakdown of what happens when love lives online and everyone’s ego has Wi-Fi.
