What if the key to a healthier, happier life isn’t about “fixing” feelings—but truly allowing them?

In this powerful conversation with Dr. Marc Brackett, founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of Permission to Feel, we explore how naming, understanding, and regulating emotions can transform our relationships, our mental health, and even our future.

From childhood trauma to groundbreaking research, Marc’s journey proves it only takes one person to change a life. Maybe that person is you.

Listen now and learn how to give yourself—and others—permission to feel.

I didn’t even want a podcast. And now? I can’t shut the hell up. Welcome to Unlonely Season 3 — where we question everything, swear a little too much, and try to make sense of this wild ride called being human.

In this opener, I unpack the absolute chaos in my brain:

• My dad died and it cracked me wide open.
• Menopause is trying to ruin my life.
• Motherhood? A beautiful disaster.
• Entrepreneurship? Glorious. And also lonely as hell.
• Oh, and the institution of marriage? A f*cking lie.

This season, we're talking about what it actually means to live, lead, grieve, mother, build, fall apart, and put yourself back together again in a world that makes you feel like you're never enough.

So buckle up, babe. Season 3 is raw, rowdy, and ready to wreck you (in the best way).

You can have 1,000 Facebook friends and no one to feed your dog.

In this heartfelt, hilarious, and soul-shifting convo with the one and only @marliwilliams, we dive deep into what it really means to feel seen, held, and connected. From adult friendships to leadership energy to nervous system regulation (yes, bitch!), this one is for the humans craving real-deal belonging.

We talk about:

• Why “I belong here” is your new mantra
• Connection as a muscle you build by doing scary things
• How great leaders create safety, not just results
• And yes, the vulnerable magic of JOY (dimples and all)

Come for the giggles, stay for the truth bombs! You ready?

This one hit deep. I sat down with the extraordinary Liz Brunner—a woman who has reinvented herself more times than most people dare to dream. From singing in Vatican Square to anchoring the news, to building a business from the ground up in her 50s—this episode is about owning the fire inside of you, even when life tries to snuff it out.

We talked about grief, burnout, badassery, and why feeling seen is the key to unlocking your next version. She’s proof that reinvention isn’t just possible—it’s necessary. Especially for women. Especially now.

If you’re navigating loss, feeling stuck, or just need a reminder that your best chapters might still be ahead of you—this one’s for you.

I sat down with the legendary @terricole to talk about what happens when you finally realize:

➡️ You can't heal others until you’ve done your own work.

➡️ Boundaries aren't walls — they’re bridges.

➡️ You’re not broken — you’re fucking learning.

⁠

We cover it all: messy healing, high-functioning codependency, and how to stay true to your mission even when the world tells you to play small.
