too much.
too much.

<p>Emma's always been told she's, "too much" and now, she's done apologizing for it. From NY to LA and back again, she's lived a thousand lives and if there's anything she's learned, it's to be unapologetically yourself. Every Tuesday, Emma is getting raw and real about everything from f*ckups and breakups, thriving (and surviving) in your 20s and 30s, how to be the best version of yourself and so much more. So grab a drink, because we're going down the rabbit hole...</p><p>to watch the video episodes, stream on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOvbgfqx5iBjPisN8usmUgw</p><p>inquiries: partnerships@toomuchpod.com</p><p>shop the merch: https://shop.toomuchpod.com%20</p><p>follow on social: https://linktr.ee/emmastoomuch</p>

In this week’s ASK EMMA episode, Emma dives into real listener questions about modern dating, relationships, friendship breakups, and everything in between — from cheating and whether it can ever truly be forgiven, to the reality of casual dating, situationships, and why people claim they’ve moved on… but keep weaponizing the past instead. She goes deep down the rabbit hole about friendship dynamics, abandonment issues, her favorite parts of being single, and how to actually stop spiraling once you’ve chosen yourself.It’s unfiltered, unplanned, and brutally honest (per usual) — covering dating in your 30s, setting standards, navigating post-breakup life, and protecting your peace in a world that will constantly test it. If you’ve ever questioned your relationships, your boundaries, or your own patterns… this one will hit.EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at Shopify.com/toomuchHead to wayfair.com April 25th through the 27th to shop Way Day.

This week, Emma is getting the man brain mansplained to her with an expert on all things love and relationships, Taylor Love. Taylor and Emma go deep down the rabbit hole about modern dating dynamics— think the hard truth about breadcrumbing, the difference between masculine vs. feminine energy, why attraction feels so confusing right now, and the patterns women keep finding themselves stuck in. But this isn’t just theory — it’s awareness. Emma not only weaves in her own experiences, calling out the ways women romanticize potential, ignore bad behavior, and lose themselves in imagined futures, but has her own mind blown from what Taylor reveals about how the mind actually works. From decoding mixed signals to calling out the real reason “he’s not ready for a relationship” and the truths no one wants to admit about desire, behavior, and control, this episode challenges everything you think you know about dating and the man brain in 2026. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of confusion, chasing potential, or questioning your worth in dating, this is the episode that will make you rethink everything you thought you knew and maybe see clearly for the first time…EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Visit RO.co/TOOMUCH for your free GLP-1 insurance check Head to Chime.com/TOOMUCH.

This week’s episode of Too Much is a bit different. Instead of breaking down a modern dating term or offering a some psychological framework, Emma is going down the rabbit hole to somewhere far more personal: her lifelong struggle with body image. From starting her gym regimen at only 12 years old to years of yo-yo dieting, FaceTune edits, and the quiet mental math around food, Emma opens up about the internal battle she’s fought for decades — and why body image isn’t actually about what your body looks like, but what your brain thinks it looks like.Emma unpacks her body dysmorphia, the early moments that planted the seeds of insecurity, and how comparison culture — from early social media to today’s dating apps and runway trends — has only amplified the noise in our heads. She also shares the deeply personal decision she made when she finally reached a breaking point with that internal war — a choice many people have opinions about, but few talk about honestly.There’s no neat solution at the end of this episode. Just an honest conversation about the fact that the loudest voice criticizing our bodies is often our own — and a reminder that there is no universally correct way to exist in your body, and your body is not a public debate.EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Visit RO.co/TOOMUCH for your free GLP-1 insurance check Head to Chime.com/TOOMUCH.

What if the reason you can’t move on… is because you never actually let go? This week, Emma goes down the rabbit hole on one of the most misunderstood breakup strategies in modern dating: no contact. And no — it’s not a trick to get your ex back. It’s a strategy to get yourself back.In another slap-you-out-of-your-delulu episode, Emma breaks down the psychology behind why breakups feel like withdrawal, why people fail at no contact, her experience with it and the subtle ways we keep ourselves emotionally tethered to people who are no longer good for us. From dopamine addiction and breadcrumbing to the hard truth about why people reach out to their exes, she unpacks what’s really happening inside your brain when you’re tempted to reopen the door.Whether it’s an ex, a toxic friendship, or someone who keeps disrupting your peace, this episode is a wake-up call that distance isn’t about punishment, the fact that there is a mental rewiring required to move on, and Emma reveals the one question you should ask yourself before sending that text.EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Visit RO.co/TOOMUCH for your free GLP-1 insurance check Head to Chime.com/TOOMUCH.

If you think dating fatigue is just a side effect of modern dating… think again. This week, Emma is going down the rabbit hole about what dating fatigue actually is — and why it has less to do with bad first dates and more to do with how much of yourself you’re giving away too soon. Because spoiler alert: burnout doesn’t come from going on too many dates…We’re talking:Why dating feels exhausting even when you “like” someoneThe psychology behind attachment accelerationThe real cost of 24/7 texting and trauma dumpingWhy “doing too much too soon” is self-abandonmentAnd how to pace yourself without becoming cold or strategicIf you’ve ever thought, “I can’t do this again” after a situationship ends — this episode is for you.

In this week’s episode of Too Much, Emma is going down the rabbit hole about one of the most highly requested (and painfully universal) topics: ghosting. What seems like a simple dating annoyance quickly unravels into something much deeper — touching on abandonment wounds, ego, attachment styles, and the psychological spiral that silence can trigger.Without giving away all the juicy details, this episode unpacks on why ghosting feels so destabilizing, what it really says about the person doing it, and the uncomfortable ways we sometimes make it hurt worse for ourselves. Emma spills on her most recent ghosting sagas, some hard truths, and the mindset shifts that she promises will change everything — especially if you’ve ever found yourself overthinking, spiraling, or wondering what you “did wrong.” This one is equal parts validating and tough love. If you’ve ever been left on read and in your head, this one is for you.EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Visit RO.co/TOOMUCH for your free GLP-1 insurance check Head to Chime.com/TOOMUCH.

Some people you meet in your life and you just know they’re built differently — not because everything is easy for them, but because they keep showing up anyway. This week, Kendall Toole is in the Too Much studio to talk about the moments that knocked her down, the ones that almost knocked her out, and how she rebuilt into the version of herself she fought for.If you know Kendall from Rumble Boxing or her rise as a Peloton instructor, you’ve seen the highlight reel. This episode is the real story — the one underneath the bubbly-on-camera version. Kendall opens up about growing up with OCD, depression and intrusive thoughts, how “achievement = worth” became her default coping mechanism, what her darkest season looked like in college at USC, and the words that changed everything: “They can knock you down, but they can never knock you out.” Something that carried her through became a community, a mantra, and eventually her next chapter as a founder.Emma and Kendall go down the rabbit hole about what healing actually looks like, why a regulated nervous system is a flex, and how adopting a beginner mindset can be the most underrated form of mental health “exposure therapy.”Content warning: This episode includes discussions of depression, intrusive thoughts, and suicidal ideation. Please take care of yourself and skip if this isn’t a safe listen right now.

This week, Emma is back with another Ask Emma episode with zero agenda and maximum honesty. From surviving the dating app trenches without losing your will to live, to decoding what “I want casual” really means, she breaks down modern dating with tough love and zero sugarcoating. She gets into how to stay grounded when other people make you doubt yourself, why magnetism in dating has everything to do with energy and boundaries, and the science behind letting people chase instead of chasing them. Emma also answers some personal questions about repairing fights with parents, swallowing pride, and choosing resolution over being “right.” It’s equal parts big sister advice, blunt reality checks, and late-night life philosophy — covering relationships, confidence, growth, and the uncomfortable truths we all need to hear. No filter, no theme, just classic rabbit-hole Emma energy.EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Visit RO.co/TOOMUCH for your free GLP-1 insurance check Head to Chime.com/TOOMUCH.

This week Emma goes down a rabbit hole on red flags — and not only Emma's list of red flags, but why they matter, and why they’re not the same thing as an “ick.”A red flag isn’t about taste. It’s about predictability. The small, easy-to-dismiss behaviors that seem harmless early on, but quietly reveal how someone handles accountability, communication, boundaries, empathy, and effort once things get real. Emma breaks down why so many of us ignore these signs (chemistry, loneliness, hope, “benefit of the doubt”), why intent doesn’t cancel impact, and how to date with your eyes open without becoming cynical.We've all heard people's red flags but this list goes so, so much deeper. Some funny, some brutal, all painfully telling — plus, Emma spills on what each one tends to predict down the line. Listen through, take notes, and then drop yours: what’s the red flag you clock immediately, every single time?EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Visit RO.co/TOOMUCH for your free GLP-1 insurance check Head to Chime.com/TOOMUCH.

Welcome to SEASON 2! One year ago, Emma walked out of a room that was rejecting who she was and built a new one from scratch — alone, delusional, and hell-bent on choosing herself. Twelve months later, Too Much is no longer an idea or a risk — it’s a platform, a community, and the result of one woman refusing to settle for chaos, optics, or timelines that weren’t meant for her.In this episode, Emma celebrates the one-year anniversary of Too Much not with a highlight reel or a gratitude montage (although there’s a little of that in the beginning), but by dissecting the actual cost of peace: the humiliation of walking away without applause, the ego funeral necessary to start from zero, and the deeply unsexy process of outgrowing relationships, identities, and rooms you once prayed you’d get into. From legal battles to breakups to the Emma-coined “new room” phase where silence forces you to meet yourself — Emma breaks down what choosing yourself really takes, and why the sacrifice is worth it.If you’re in an ending era — professionally, romantically, or personally — this is the episode you needed. Peace is expensive. Moving on is inconvenient. And choosing yourself rarely makes sense until it does.EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Visit RO.co/TOOMUCH for your free GLP-1 insurance check Head to Chime.com/TOOMUCH.

This week, Emma is going down the rabbit hole about the villain origin story of all our abandonment and self-esteem issues: the words we speak (and don’t). From bullying and humiliation to rejection and why one throwaway comment from a 12-year-old can take 20 years to unlearn — Emma is breaking down how the brain prioritizes threats over compliments and how those middle-school identity formation years end up influencing who we date and how we cope.Emma also tells the high school story she’s never really unpacked publicly — the one that confirmed her abandonment wounds, trust issues, and hyper-independence weren’t personality traits so much as survival skills. If you’ve ever laid awake at night thinking about something someone said to you in seventh grade while your adult brain is like…hello?? We’re still doing this??? then welcome.

Future faking has officially entered the chat. This week, Emma is back in the studio for her first solo of 2026, and is going down the rabbit hole about the people who sell you a future they were never planning to build. She breaks down why it feels so intoxicating, why it accelerates attachment, and why it doesn’t just break your heart — it breaks your self-trust. And in true Too Much fashion, it’s not just theory. Emma shares a wildly chaotic 72-hour case study involving Miami, a yacht, a monogamy declaration, lingerie in Soho…and a ghosting for the books.This episode is part PSA, part big-sister debrief, part reminder that your boundaries are not the problem — they’re the filter. Emma talks about the difference between expressing the future you want and promising a shared future you haven’t earned yet, how to clock future fakers early, and how to shut it down without becoming cynical about love. If you’ve ever been love bombed, future faked, or left grieving a future that never existed, this one will make you feel a lot less crazy and a lot more protective of your muchness.EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to HelloFresh.com/TOOMUCH10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free Breakfast for Life!Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Visit OliveandJune.com/TOOMUCH for 20% off your first System!Visit RO.co/TOOMUCH for your free GLP-1 insurance check Head to Chime.com/TOOMUCH.

For the first episode of the year, we’re entering uncharted territory: Emma is bringing a man into the studio. Enter Niko Emanuilidis, host of The Daddy Academy — internet “daddy,” modern-day Hitch, and the first guest of 2026. Emma and Niko are going down the dating rabbit hole with a candid, unfiltered conversation about modern dating, masculinity (or the lack there of) and of course, where to find hot single men in NYC.Together, Emma and Niko unpack the gray areas no one wants to admit out loud: early chemistry vs. future-faking, confidence vs. love bombing, why dating feels like it sucks right now, and what actually signals real interest. Then, Emma puts Niko in the hot seat as he answers listener-submitted questions covering first-date dynamics, texting rules, exclusivity timelines, rosters, ghosting, icks, attraction, and the subtle behaviors that separate emotionally available men from men who just like to mess with your head.Whether you’re looking for tips to date as a man or a woman, questioning your instincts, or trying to understand what’s real versus what just feels good in the moment — this episode is required listening. Follow The Daddy Academy on IG | TikTokFollow Niko on IG | TikTokEPISODE SPONSORS:Go to HelloFresh.com/TOOMUCH10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free Breakfast for Life!Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Visit OliveandJune.com/TOOMUCH for 20% off your first System!Visit RO.co/TOOMUCH for your free GLP-1 insurance check Head to Chime.com/TOOMUCH.

As the year comes to a close, Emma sits down for an unfiltered, end-of-year reflection that has nothing to do with “New Year, New Me” and everything to do with who she actually showed up as in 2025. Look back with Emma on the most evolutionary year of her life — from walking away from a podcast she built from the ground up, to launching Too Much from scratch, to navigating a life-altering breakup, a move, and a complete redefinition of what choosing yourself really means. She’s going down the rabbit hole down on why the new year isn’t always about reinvention, but about integration, self-trust, and honoring the version of you that survived what you didn’t plan for.This episode is about boundaries that cost you something, resilience that surprises you, and the quiet wins that don’t show up on a highlight reel — the no’s you said, the times you walked away, and the moments you refused to self-abandon even when it would’ve been easier to stay.After laying 2025 to rest, Emma shares how she’s thinking about 2026 — not through resolutions, but through intention: how she wants to feel, what she’s no longer available for, and what she’s willing to commit to consistently. If you’re entering the new year carrying unfinished emotional business, unmet expectations, or grief for the life you thought you’d have by now, this episode is your permission slip to properly close the chapter before opening the next one.So, cheers to surviving. Cheers to choosing yourself. And cheers to doing it all again — just smarter.EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to HelloFresh.com/TOOMUCH10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free Breakfast for Life!Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Visit OliveandJune.com/TOOMUCH for 20% off your first System!Visit RO.co/TOOMUCH for your free GLP-1 insurance check Head to Chime.com/TOOMUCH.

The holidays are here and Emma is going down the rabbit hole on something many people quietly struggle with this time of year: getting comfortable being alone.In this episode, Emma is unpacking the crucial difference between being alone and feeling lonely — why they’re not the same thing, how each shows up differently in our lives, and why the holidays tend to magnify both. Drawing from her own experiences with breakups, friendship loss, moving across the country, and spending Christmas alone when she never expected to, were getting into the psychology behind loneliness, why it can feel physically painful, and how our brains are wired to resist solitude.But this episode isn’t about “fixing” loneliness or pretending it doesn’t exist. It’s about reframing it — learning how to meet your own emotional needs, self-regulate, and build trust with yourself so that connection becomes a choice, not a survival mechanism. This is a reflective, honest look inward about breakups, comparison culture, social media during the holidays, and why solitude can be one of the most powerful teachers you’ll ever have. If you’re feeling lonely, single, misunderstood, or out of place this season, this episode is a reminder that this chapter is temporary — and that learning to enjoy your own company may be the greatest gift you give yourself.EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to HelloFresh.com/TOOMUCH10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free Breakfast for Life!Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Visit OliveandJune.com/TOOMUCH for 20% off your first System!Visit RO.co/TOOMUCH for your free GLP-1 insurance check Head to Chime.com/TOOMUCH.

This week, Emma goes down the rabbit hole about everything we get wrong about first dates — and how to stop sabotaging them before they even start.From why first dates trigger anxiety, to how fear of rejection turns into “pick me” energy, Emma reframes dating as data collection, not an audition. She walks through how to regulate your nerves before a date, how to stay grounded and authentic while you’re on it, and how to avoid oversharing, trauma dumping, or performing for approval.Emma lays out her personal first-date rulebook: what to share, what to hold back, how to spot red flags like love bombing and future faking, and why compatibility matters more than chemistry. She also gets brutally honest about post-date spiraling — decoding texts, delayed communication, breadcrumbing — and why your worth needs to stay out of the conversation.If you’ve ever overthought a first date, romanticized potential, or felt crushed by silence afterward, this one will change how you approach dating forever.EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to HelloFresh.com/TOOMUCH10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free Breakfast for Life!Visit Rula.com/toomuch to get quality therapy that’s covered by insurance.Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Visit OliveandJune.com/TOOMUCH for 20% off your first System!For collaborations and opportunities, email: partnerships@toomuchpod.com⁠Shop the merch⁠⁠!!Follow Too Much:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Follow Emma:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

This week, Emma is taking a beat on talking about relationships and men (finally) and is going down the rabbit hole about the people who have carried her through the wildest year of her life: her friends. She’s covering everything the real soulmates we find as adults, why friendship becomes the backbone of your life in your thirties, how adult friendships evolve and what it actually means to nurture the friendships that keep you standing when everything else is burning. This one is raw, emotional, unexpectedly tear-stained, and full of the kind of tough love that will have you on the phone with the coworker you trauma-bonded with three years ago before the episode even ends. Emma breaks down the patterns she had to outgrow, the accountability she had to learn, the support she didn’t know she was allowed to receive, and the three rules she swears every adult needs if they want friendships that last decades — not seasons. It’s equal parts confession, call-to-action, and a love letter to the women who showed up for her when it mattered.EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to HelloFresh.com/TOOMUCH10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free Breakfast for Life!Visit Rula.com/toomuch to get quality therapy that’s covered by insurance.Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Visit OliveandJune.com/TOOMUCH for 20% off your first System!For collaborations and opportunities, email: partnerships@toomuchpod.com⁠Shop the merch⁠⁠!!Follow Too Much:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Follow Emma:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

This week, Emma gets brutally honest about why so many women are stuck in their masculine energy — and why she’s officially done living in fight-or-flight for men who can’t lead, can’t decide, and can’t show up. After a chaotic, emotional weekend of moving, parties, and running into people she did not need to see, she breaks down the moment she realized she’s been carrying way too much in her relationships.Emma goes down the rabbit hole into the real psychology behind masculine vs. feminine energy (hint: it’s not gender, it’s survival mode), how women get pushed into “wearing the pants,” and the effort gap that’s dragging modern dating into the trenches. She lays out the red flags, the patterns, and the exact traits that separate boys from men — plus what it actually takes to feel safe enough to soften again.There’s a surprising reunion, a reality check she didn’t see coming, and a look into what dating is going to look like for her now: higher standards, stronger boundaries, and absolutely no mothering grown a** men. EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to HelloFresh.com/TOOMUCH10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free Breakfast for Life!Visit Rula.com/toomuch to get quality therapy that’s covered by insurance.Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.Visit OliveandJune.com/TOOMUCH for 20% off your first System!For collaborations and opportunities, email: partnerships@toomuchpod.com⁠Shop the merch⁠⁠!!Follow Too Much:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Follow Emma:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

This week, Emma is going down the rabbit hole on the one thing that determines every dating outcome, every relationship dynamic, and every “WTF am I doing” moment: boundaries. Fresh off her own breakup and officially in her NYC single-era renaissance, she breaks down how boundaries show up in early dating, long-term relationships, and those confusing almost-situationships that plague the modern dating world.Emma is unpacking the non-negotiables and hard-stop boundaries, how to communicate them without sounding unhinged, how to filter out the wrong people instantly, and why dating in your 30s is basically one long psychological experiment in self-respect. And now that she’s back on the market, Emma is sharing her own Non-Negotiable List she’ll be packing on every date so that you can start yours too.Whether you’re newly single, chronically disappointed by the apps, or just tired of abandoning yourself for men who can’t plan a date, this episode is a masterclass in choosing yourself first — then choosing better.Welcome to your boundary bootcamp.EPISODE SPONSORS:Go to HelloFresh.com/TOOMUCH10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free Item for Life!Visit Rula.com/toomuch to get quality therapy that’s covered by insurance.For collaborations and opportunities, email: partnerships@toomuchpod.com⁠Shop the merch⁠⁠!!Subscribe to the SubstackFollow Too Much:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Follow Emma:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

This is an episode Emma never thought she'd have to record. In Part Two of her time-capsule episode, she returns with the update no one expected: Emma and “Mr. Right” are have broken up. No sob story, no dragging — just radical honesty. From cognitive dissonance to sunk-cost fallacy, she breaks down how a picture-perfect love unraveled after she recorded Part One on September 23rd, why misaligned futures can masquerade as “almost right,” and what choosing yourself actually looks like.This isn’t a story about blame — it’s about bravery. About walking away from someone good because it’s no longer right. About trusting your gut when your head and heart are at war. Emma shares the raw, unfiltered truth about what it really means to outgrow a love you thought would last forever.Watch the full video episode on YouTube.EPISODE SPONSORS:Get 15% off your Schedule35 orders with code TOOMUCH at Schedule35.coGet 20% off your first month of Seed’s DS-01® Daily Synbiotic at seed.com/TOOMUCH20 with code TOOMUCH20Go to HelloFresh.com/TOOMUCH10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free Item for Life!Visit Rula.com/toomuch to get quality therapy that’s covered by insurance.For collaborations and opportunities, email: partnerships@toomuchpod.com⁠Shop the merch⁠⁠!!Follow Too Much:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Follow Emma:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

On September 23rd, Emma sat down to record something she has never done before — a time-capsule episode. Her relationship with Mr. Right began to feel shaky so instead of waiting until the seemingly inevitable happened to talk about it, she recorded a digital diary entry in real time that she would only release when there was a conclusion to the uncertainty and what might become either her engagement announcement… or her breakup story. And today is that day.After two years with “Mr. Right,” talk of rings, proposals, and building a family suddenly takes a turn that forced Emma to confront one of life’s hardest emotional paradoxes: when someone says I love you, but I’m not ready. From naming the abandonment wound and the self-sabotage itch to the nervous system spiral that happens when “not yet” sounds a lot like “not you” — this is the beginning of the end and Emma is taking you with her.Watch the full video episode on YouTube and tune into Part Two to hear how what she thought was the perfect relationship unraveled.EPISODE SPONSORS:Get 15% off your Schedule35 orders with code TOOMUCH at Schedule35.coGet 20% off your first month of Seed’s DS-01® Daily Synbiotic at seed.com/TOOMUCH20 with code TOOMUCH20Go to HelloFresh.com/TOOMUCH10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free Item for Life!Visit Rula.com/toomuch to get quality therapy that’s covered by insurance.For collaborations and opportunities, email: partnerships@toomuchpod.com⁠Shop the merch⁠⁠!!Follow Too Much:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Follow Emma:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

You may think you know Hilaria Baldwin — but you have no idea. This week Emma sits down with Hilaria Baldwin and rips into the tabloid mythology: the alleged fake accent, the memes, the surrogacy whispers, and most recently her experience with bullying on Dancing With the Stars. As someone who has always had her narrative written for her, Hilaria is taking back frontal and saying the quiet part out loud about internet mobs, reputations for sale, and what really happens when a headline hijacks a life. No filters. No softballs. Just blunt questions, real-time receipts, and the real answers the internet didn’t script.Follow Hilaria on Instagram | Follow Hilaria on TikTokWatch the video episode on YouTubeEPISODE SPONSORS:Go to HelloFresh.com/TOOMUCH10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free Item for Life!Visit Rula.com/toomuch to get quality therapy that’s covered by insurance.For collaborations and opportunities, email: partnerships@toomuchpod.com⁠Shop the merch⁠⁠!!Follow Too Much:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Follow Emma:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

Because this week, she’s got receipts.In this special Halloween episode, Emma gets brutally honest (and a little unhinged) about her lifelong obsession with horror movies — and why people like her find comfort in chaos, fear, and adenaline. From slumber-party trauma in the early 2000s to her theory on why some of us can sleep soundly after The Conjuring, Emma goes down the psychology rabbit hole behind horror obsession and how it can actually help anxiety… before reading real listener-submitted ghost stories that will make you question every creak in your apartment.It’s part therapy session, part séance, and 100% Too Much.EPISODE SPONSORS:Get 15% off your Schedule35 orders with code TOOMUCH at Schedule35.coGet 20% off your first month of Seed’s DS-01® Daily Synbiotic at seed.com/TOOMUCH20 with code TOOMUCH20Go to HelloFresh.com/TOOMUCH10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free Item for Life!Visit Rula.com/toomuch to get quality therapy that’s covered by insurance.For collaborations and opportunities, email: partnerships@toomuchpod.com⁠Shop the merch⁠⁠!!⁠Join the muchness on Patreon⁠Follow Too Much:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Follow Emma:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

This week Emma heads straight for the jugular in this NYC-core episode of Too Much, sitting down with We Met at Acme host Lindsey Metselaar to dissect modern dating in New York — think dating app do’s & don’ts, nightclub bathroom lines, and why “the easygoing girl” is a myth.

This week, Emma is going down the rabbit hole into the psychology of love languages — beyond the basic “five” you think you know. The biggest takeaway? How your love languages evolve with your attachment style, trauma, and even your menstrual cycle. From decoding why your partner’s “I cleaned your room” doesn’t hit like an “I love you,” to how love languages get weaponized in relationships, Emma exposes the emotional dialects that make or break connection. Emma is sharing her take on Dr. Gary Chapman’s controversial origins, the modern love language rewrites, and what it actually means to love someone their way — not just yours. And as promised, stay tuned until the end for Emma’s real-life ghost story as part of her October Series set in her haunted LA apartment — scratches, moving objects, pink bathwater, and all.

ASK EMMA is back — and it’s more honest, blunt, slap-you-out-of-your-delulu than ever. Emma kicks off spooky season with chaos, clarity, and even a chilling ghost story you won’t forget (that comes bearing receipts). But before the paranormal, comes the personal. Emma goes down the rabbit hole of your rawest questions — from “Why am I still single?” to “How do I stop thinking about my avoidant ex?” — and delivers the tough love no one else will. She breaks down why being single is a choice, not a curse, why hypersensitive employees need to toughen up (sorry, not sorry), and what it takes to really heal. We’re getting real about a fear of men, friendship breakups, workplace boundaries, and what it actually means when your partner won’t unfollow their ex.  And then? Emma ends the episode with a true terrifying story caught on camera — “The Figure in the Hallway” — that’ll have you triple-checking your locks tonight.

In this week’s episode, Emma finally goes down the rabbit hole of the infamous “Washington” story — the 32-day first date that started with a DM, detoured through Scottsdale and Palm Springs, and fast-tracked into moving in (or as she likes to say, “squatting”). What started as a spontaneous road trip turned into a  a crash course in love bombing and a year-long lesson in anxious attachment, mixed signals, and the danger of mistaking chemistry for compatibility. Emma reflects on why actions always speak louder than words, how sunk-cost thinking can keep us trapped, and why real intimacy grows slowly, not in a flash. It’s a story of ignoring gut instincts, chasing potential, and eventually choosing freedom over fantasy.

This week, Emma and newly engaged Ashley Nichole go down the bachelorette party rabbit hole — and it’s not all cute matching outfits and tequila shots. They call out the parts everyone not-so-secretly hates: power-tripping maids of honor, passive-aggressive "games" that feel like the Hunger Games, Splitwise drama, budget shaming, and the politics of who’s “close enough” to make the cut. But don't worry, they talk about the fun stuff too. Ashley breaks down her proposal story (yes, it was perfect) and Emma shares two of her very important hot takes that may have just cracked the code on how to make bachelorette parties drama-free.

Self-sabotage is one of those things we all do, but rarely admit to. From procrastination and perfectionism to negative self-talk, toxic relationship cycles, and numbing habits — we’ve all been guilty of standing in our own way. In this episode, Emma is going down the rabbit hole about self-sabotage, why it’s rooted in fear and survival, and how it disguises itself as “logic” or “discipline.” Emma is sharing her own stories — everything from missed opportunities in her twenties to how hyper-independence and people-pleasing played into the patterns. More importantly, she's giving you the tools to recognize these habits, reframe them, and start building momentum again. If you’ve ever caught yourself saying “I’ll do it later,” picked the wrong partner because it felt easier, or sabotaged an opportunity out of fear of success, this episode is your wake-up call.

From her first chaotic dorm to years of living solo, and then finally moving in with Mr. Right, Emma is breaking down the lessons, horror stories, and hilarious realities of sharing your space. We’re talking communication, compromise, boundaries, and why the people you live with shape you more than you realize. Emma is sharing what living alone taught her about independence, why living with friends can make or break a relationship, and how cohabiting with a partner brings up insecurities, intimacy shifts, and a whole new level of vulnerability.

We’re talking attachment styles — the blueprint for how you love, fight, chase, or push people away. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re drawn to emotionally unavailable partners, why you freak out when someone pulls back, or why “secure” feels boring compared to chaos — this episode is for you. We're going down the rabbit hole on: The four attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, disorganized) and and why they're so important to identify and understand. Why 75% of relationships involve at least one insecure attachment style How your attachment style isn’t a life sentence — it can shift with the right partner, therapy, or self-work. The messy intersection of attachment styles, love languages, and toxic traits (spoiler: your toxic trait is often the opposite of your love language). How to stop calling anxiety “love” and start seeing security as peace, not boredom. It’s part psych lesson, part roast of my own past dating choices, and part pep talk to stop choosing the bad boy just because he makes your nervous system light up. Secure isn’t boring.

Running on three hours of sleep, possible vertigo, and zero filter — this episode goes straight down the rabbit hole of making the first move. Why is it so terrifying to walk up to someone you’re interested in? From caveman survival instincts to modern-day gender norms, Emma breaks down the psychology behind fear of rejection, overthinking, and why we all get stuck in the “what if” loop. But here’s the twist — sometimes shooting your shot can lead to the wildest rewards. Case in point: the infamous Zac Efron story you’ve all been begging Emma to retell. Yes, it involves spilled drinks, secret hallways, a Gabriella Montez dance performance, and a weekend that changed everything. We’re talking confidence, reciprocity, proximity, and why the regret of not trying will always sting worse than a no. Whether you’re a guy paralyzed by the fear of being “creepy”, a girl told making the first move makes you “too much,” or just someone sick of waiting to be approached — this is your pep talk to stop sitting on the sidelines of your own life. It's time to apply Emma's tips to get what you've always wanted. Worse case scenario, you hear a "no." Best case scenario? You walk away with your own Zac Efron story.

This week on Too Much, Emma sits down for a roller coaster conversation with Lucie Fink — the OG content creator who went from student vlogging at Johns Hopkins in 2010, to being one of Refinery29’s first video stars, to running her own media brand while raising two kids. She’s a video producer, host of The Real Stuff podcast, and a TEDx speaker. Lucie down the rabbit hole about the realities of building a digital career in the spotlight: thin-shaming, being gaslit by comment sections, and most importantly — a tell-all about the time she did what every creator has fantasized about: confronting her internet troll. Not by blocking. Not by clapping back in the comments. By literally inviting her onto a Zoom call to ask why. And the story that unfolds is equal parts wild, heartbreaking, and eye-opening. Consider this your masterclass in human psychology, empathy, and boundaries. If you’ve ever wondered what’s really behind the hate online, this conversation is the closest thing to pulling back the curtain.

Losing friends, making new ones and boyfriends who make you question your worth — today’s episode is a masterclass in calling it like it is. Emma is going down the rabbit hole dug by the stories and questions YOU submitted, from a 20-year friendship imploding over a bridesmaid invite and a boyfriend who weaponized your personality against you, to the friend who always makes you feel like the “backup plan.” We’re talking emotional maturity (or lack thereof), knowing if he's the one, spotting narcissistic tactics and how to walk away — whether it’s from a toxic friend, an insecure partner, or a situationship that’s going nowhere. This one’s equal parts tough love, big sister pep talk, and a reminder that protecting your peace is never the wrong move. *SHOW NOTE* Going forward, video episodes will only be available on YouTube!

By popular demand, Hyper-Independence Part 2 is here. In this follow-up to one of our most downloaded episodes, Emma is going even deeper down the rabbit hole into what it really means to be hyper-independent — not just the self-help jargon, but the real-life impact it has on relationships, intimacy, and the ability to let love in.She breaks down the difference between healthy independence and emotional isolation, the invisible alarm bells that go off when someone tries to take care of you, and the subconscious belief that needing anyone equals weakness. Emma also explores the stages of a relationship and how hyper-independence disrupts them, how it overlaps with (but isn’t the same as) avoidant attachment, and why being “low maintenance” is often just a wall dressed up as a compliment.If you’re someone who always says “I’m fine” when you’re not, would rather break your back than ask for help, or is dating someone like that and wondering why they feel emotionally shut out — this episode is your survival guide.

Do you like older guys, or is it daddy issues? That’s the question we’re chasing down the rabbit hole today. In this episode of Too Much, Emma is finally digging into her long history of dating up — from 4 year age gaps to 21 year age gaps — and why she thought she needed an older man to feel safe, stable, or seen.Spoiler: it wasn’t about money, and no, it wasn’t daddy issues either. We’re talking power dynamics, youngest sibling syndrome, emotional unavailability disguised as maturity, and how she confused “having their life together” with “being able to love me.” We’re getting into the psychology of dating down, why confident women are now going younger, and how closing the age gap with Mr. Right changed everything (who may or may not be dropping into the studio today...)Whether you’ve chased silver foxes or swore off Peter Pans, this episode is a deep dive into the real reasons we date outside our age bracket — and why your “type” might be the thing holding you back.For collaborations and opportunities, email: partnerships@toomuchpod.com⁠Shop the merch⁠⁠!!⁠Join the muchness on Patreon⁠Follow Too Much:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Follow Emma:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

This week on Too Much, Emma is pulling you out of your delulu spiral and dragging you into the light — because we need to talk about the exhausting obsession with being liked. Emma is breaking down why it’s biologically wired into us (hi, cavemen), how social media hijacked it, and what finally freed her from the trap of performing for approval.From being the girl who never got picked as a bridesmaid to ditching dressing for the male gaze, Emma walks you through the shift that changed everything. If you’ve ever shrunk yourself to fit in, stayed silent to stay liked, or wore butter yellow when you hate it just to match the vibe… this one’s for you.Go down the rabbit hole about confidence, comparison, people-pleasing, and how to stop giving a single f*ck about what anyone thinks. Because being liked by everyone? That’s a full-time job with zero benefits.For collaborations and opportunities, email: partnerships@toomuchpod.comShop the merch⁠!!Join the muchness on PatreonFollow Too Much:⁠IG⁠⁠TikTok⁠Follow Emma:⁠IG⁠⁠TikTok⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

This week’s guest is a creator, producer, entrepreneur, soon-to-be author, and, of course, the Queen of Confidence — Serena f*cking Kerrigan. But, this is not a monarchy and we saved you a seat on the throne. Serena (aka SFK) joins Emma in going deep down the rabbit hole on all things from rejection wounds and confidence as survival, to how SFK was born (and what it’s been like slowly taking the mask off). The two swap stories about dating as a woman with a big personality, finding someone who doesn’t try to dim you and so much more. If you’ve ever been told you’re intimidating, too loud, too opinionated, too ambitious, or just “too much”… this episode will hit. Hard.Want more of Serena, her show and card game?

If you’ve ever wondered why you chase emotionally unavailable people, why you jump ship the second someone gets too close, or why “I’m fine” is your go-to lie — this one’s for you. In this week’s raw (and unexpectedly tearful) episode, Emma goes down the rabbit hole about the real root of her abandonment issues. And spoiler: it wasn’t her parents. From revolving-door relationships and friendships to feeling utterly disposable, she pieces together the wounds that shaped her attachment style, hyper-independence, and her constant need to prove she's worth staying for. But per usual, Emma leaves you with how she’s working through it and all the ways you can give little inner you the big hug they need.Shop the merch⁠!!Join the muchness and get exclusive content, discounts and hangs with Emma on PatreonFollow Too Much:⁠IG⁠⁠TikTok⁠Follow Emma:⁠IG⁠⁠TikTok⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

You know what’s harder than walking away from a toxic relationship? Walking away from one that looks perfect on paper — but leaves you questioning your worth every damn day. In this episode, we're going down the rabbit hole of why we stay too long, how to finally walk away, and what happens when you actually do. From relationships to friendships to business partners who drain your joy like a full-time job, Emma breaks down the psychological traps (hi, sunk cost fallacy), the excuses we keep recycling, and the moment everything in your body screams go.This is the episode for anyone who’s ever thought, “But maybe it’ll get better…” Let this be your sign, your slap, and your permission to choose yourself — louder, sooner, and without apology.This one’s not just about leaving — it’s about coming back home to your damn self.Shop the merch⁠!!Follow Too Much:⁠IG⁠⁠TikTok⁠Follow Emma:⁠IG⁠⁠TikTok⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

She kept quiet when the internet thought it had all the answers. Now, two years later, Gigi Paris is telling her story — on her terms. Today, Gigi breaks her silence for the first time since the very public unraveling of her four-year relationship with a certain A-list celebrity ex. This isn’t just a breakup story — this is a masterclass in self-worth, restraint, resilience and taking back the narrative.Cheating rumors, the call that changed everything, and fresh headlines surfacing all over again — Gigi addresses the questions that still remain on everyone’s mind. But most importantly, she shares her honest experience of what it felt like to have her relationship become PR collateral, why she chose to wait to respond rather than react, and how she’s thriving today.Because yes, sometimes the most graceful thing you can do is say nothing — but the most powerful thing you can do is finally speak.Follow GigiShop the merch⁠!!Follow Too Much:⁠IG⁠⁠TikTok⁠Follow Emma:⁠IG⁠⁠TikTok⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

Consider this episode your detonation. We’re going DEEP down the rabbit hole (like “$5K ring on a first date” deep) into the psychological mindf*ck that is love bombing — what it is, how it shows up, and why even the savviest among us can fall for it when it’s wrapped in compliments, constant texts, and Paris plane tickets.Emma is breaking down the sneaky ways it appears, her wildest love bombing story, and how to avoid the emotional whiplash by setting some bomb-proof boundaries.Whether you've been love bombed, done it yourself, or just want to avoid getting trapped in fantasy disguised as romance — this one is for you.Follow Too Much:⁠IG⁠⁠TikTok⁠Follow Emma:⁠IG⁠⁠TikTok⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

Let’s clear something up: not everyone you hate is a narcissist. And not everyone you love isn’t. This week, Emma is going down the rabbit hole of actual narcissism — in platonic and romantic relationships. What it is, what it isn’t, and how to spot the difference between someone who’s just selfish… and someone who’s clinically manipulative. And this is just PART ONE. From love bombing and future faking to victim-playing and covert sabotage, we're going through the key red flags and the psychology behind why it’s so hard to walk away from someone who keeps you craving the highs.Shop the merch!!Follow Too Much:⁠IG⁠⁠TikTok⁠Follow Emma:⁠IG⁠⁠TikTok⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

The one we go down when we see everyone’s getting engaged, having babies, buying homes... and you’re over here just trying to find your phone. Emmas' diving into the psychological chaos of comparison, the pressure of timelines, and the positive pregnancy test that changed her perspective forever.From biological clocks and made up milestones to redefining success on your own terms — this one’s for anyone who’s ever felt behind, panicked, or like their life isn’t happening “on time.” It’s not about being picked — it’s about choosing.

You hope he’ll text you. You hope he’ll change. You hope the mixed signals mean something good. Let’s be real: you’re not hopeful — you’re in denial. This week, we're joined by dating coach, podcaster, and professional bullshit-caller, Sabrina Zohar, to unpack the psychology behind clinging to potential in dating. We talk dopamine addiction, Disney delusions, and the brutal difference between healthy optimism and emotional procrastination. Sabrina and Emma (two “too much” girls turned thriving adults) break down how to stop mistaking inconsistency for compatibility, how to grieve what never actually existed, and how to stop handing out CEO roles in your life to people who haven’t passed the first interview. If you've ever romanticized a walking red flag or stayed just because "there’s potential," this one’s for you.Stream The Sabrina Zohar ShowFollow Sabrina:IG and TikTokFollow Too Much:⁠IG⁠ and TikTok⁠Follow Emma:⁠IG⁠ and TikTok⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

It’s time for some tough love. In this episode, we’re talking about accountability—why it’s the foundation of any healthy relationship, and how learning to take responsibility (and demand it from others) changed the way I show up in friendships, work, and love. It’s a little bit of a TED Talk, a little bit of a therapy session, and a whole lot of truth. If you’ve ever struggled with someone's refusal to take accountability or just owning your own part, this one’s for you.

This week’s episode was recorded on April 17th — 48 hours after sharing the truth behind the end of Unhinged. After a whirlwind 48 hours, Emma is taking a moment to share gratitude, to reintroduce herself, to reframe what it means to be “too much,” and remind you why this podcast exists in the first place. Emma’s been deemed “too much” everywhere from classrooms to boardrooms — and instead of shrinking herself, she’s built something out of it. If you’ve ever been misunderstood, gossiped about or told you're too much, this one is for you. Welcome to Day One.

This is the truth about what happened with my podcast, Unhinged — and the detailed, receipt-bearing, factual account of what has unfolded behind closed doors. For over two months, I stayed silent as the podcast I built was taken out from under me. I was locked out, erased, and a new show has been operating on my platforms — without my consent. Today, I’m finally sharing the truth. This isn’t about drama; it’s about business ethics, accountability, and setting the record straight. For anyone who’s ever been erased, betrayed, or made to question their worth — you are not alone.As this episode is lengthy and layered, please see below for a detailed breakdown so you can know what to expect and in case you’d like to skip ahead at any point:2:23 - 6:00 — Unhinged Backstory & My Decision to Dissolve6:00 - 11:25 — JAN 3: The Attempted Communication11:25 - 14:10 — How Too Much Came to be14:10 - 17:42 — The Attempted Communication (cont’d)17:42 - 21:29 — JAN 17: The Lockout21:29 - 24:20 — JAN 21: Launching Too Much24:20 - 29:23 — JAN 27: First Communication with Co-Host29:23 - 34:23 — FEB 4: The Deletion & the Video34:23 - 36:03 — The Aftermath36:03 - 39:22 — What it All Means, Why it Matters & Why Now?39:22 - 42:15 — The UnSettlement42:15 - End — My honest thoughtsEverything discussed in this episode is based on my firsthand experience, dated records, and/or legal guidance.
