Description
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...

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?

This week, we're going down the rabbit hole about the rabbit hole. 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. And the next chapter of your life can start any damn minute.Follow Too Much:IGTikTokFollow Emma:IGTikTokWant to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

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.

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. Let’s begin again, together.Follow Too Much:IGTikTokFollow Emma:IGTikTokWant to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

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.
