too much.

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?

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.

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. You’re not alone.

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.

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.
