  • UPDATED WEEKLY

Where heartbreak meets healing, science meets soul, and tough love meets laughter. Let's unpack the real stuff no one teaches you how to handle: betrayal, closure, trauma bonds, self-trust, burnout, love, loss, and learning how to stop repeating the same cycles. It’s not therapy. It’s not self help. It’s a wake-up call that feels like a hug. Pull up a chair. The hour's already started.

    "The Stuff Nobody Tells You About Relationships" with Quinlan Walther

    There are relationship secrets no one teaches us — especially the ones that determine whether love feels safe or like a battlefield. Today, we’re diving into the truth behind the anxious–avoidant dynamic and why two people who love each other can feel constantly misunderstood, triggered, or stuck in the same repeating cycle. I sit down with Quinlan Walther to uncover what’s actually happening beneath the surface when one person shuts down and the other fights harder, and why it’s not toxicity — it’s survival patterns. We talk about what anxious and avoidant partners secretly need, but rarely know how to say… and how real connection is built when both people learn to repair instead of run. We also get into the Vogue article that went viral claiming boyfriends are embarrassing — why it struck such a nerve online, what it reveals about modern dating culture, and how fear, image management, and crowd-opinion are replacing real intimacy. We break down why people are terrified to be seen in love, and why public approval has become more important than private connection. In this episode, we explore: The real reason one partner pursues and the other withdraws Why arguments repeat the same way every time The hidden fears driving conflict (not the content of the fight) How childhood conditioning shapes adult intimacy How to communicate without panic or shutdown The repair strategies that actually work How anxious & avoidant partners can become each other’s greatest healing If you’ve ever felt like: “Why do they disappear when I get close?” “Why do I become so anxious when I care?” “Why am I scared to be seen loving someone?” “Why does this cycle feel impossible to break?” — this episode is going to feel like clarity, not chaos. Real love isn’t about never triggering each other. Real love is learning how to rebuild together.

    When You Stop Living for Them, And How To Finally Find You — With Ben Nemtin

    In this episode of Sappy Hour, I sit down with Ben Nemtin — #1 New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and co-founder of The Buried Life. You might know Ben from the viral movement that started as four friends with a bucket list of 100 dreams — from playing basketball with President Obama to helping strangers achieve their own impossible goals. In this conversation, we go deeper. We talk about what stops people from chasing their dreams, how to rebuild purpose when you’ve lost it, and why following your heart often means confronting your fears first. We also explore insights from his book What Do You Want to Do Before You Die? and The Bucket List Journal — and how small, consistent action can completely change the trajectory of your life. If you’ve ever felt stuck, behind, or unsure where to start — this one’s going to wake something up in you.

    "Why Do I Feel So Lonely?" The Truth About Loneliness No One Tells You

    Loneliness isn’t proof that something’s wrong with you. It’s proof that there’s something inside you still alive enough to want connection. JB Copeland unpacks the psychology of chronic loneliness — what it really means when you’ve “always felt lonely.” From childhood attachment to self-discrepancy theory, he breaks down how lack emotional attunement shapes our adult lives, and how we can begin to reconnect with the actual self that’s been waiting underneath the performance. Maybe you don’t need to find more people. Maybe you just need to find the part of you that’s been missing.
