## Resource

In this week’s episode, Emma goes down the rabbit hole on one of the most overused phrases in modern dating — and why it might not mean what you think it does. Fresh off clearing her own roster, Emma breaks down why situationships aren’t some harmless gray area — but a dynamic rooted in misalignment, self-abandonment, and accepting less than you actually want. So what are situationships really? Why do people end up there? And more importantly — why is it so hard to leave? From breadcrumb behavior to the illusion of control, Emma’s making you to take a look in the mirror to face where you might be settling, shrinking, or straight-up lying to yourself — and she’s not sorry about it. If you’ve ever found yourself saying “it’s complicated”… this one’s going to make you think twice. EPISODE SPONSORS: Go to Quince.com/TOOMUCH for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.
