WTF is future faking?
1/13/2026 | 41 mins.
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.

How to date them like a daddy — FT. Niko Emanuilidis
1/06/2026 | 56 mins.
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.

Thankful for what did not work out
12/30/2025 | 31 mins.
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.

Loneliness is louder in December
12/23/2025 | 33 mins.
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.

Who cares if he likes you? — First dates 101
12/16/2025 | 38 mins.
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: [email protected]Shop the merch!!Follow Too Much:IGTikTokFollow Emma:IGTikTokWant to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?
