Subscribe: Spotify | Blubrry | RSS | More

The heartbreak podcast collab you didn’t know you needed- Interstates & Heartbreak welcomes Thank You Heartbreak host Chelsea Leigh Trescott to discuss reclaiming your breakup experience to “break upward.” She discusses her evolution from serial monogamist to intentionally single, and how her standards have raised along the journey. We discuss the nuances of heartbreak, like breaking your OWN heart by staying in a relationship that doesn’t serve you, or the often ignored heartbreak of being the one to end a relationship.

TRIGGER WARNING: Chelsea reflects on some heavier topics like a suicidal ex (16:27) and dating while struggling with disordered eating (12:05, 22:50, 1:04:40).

Harrison Forman and Brandon Berman present a dating experience with all the intrigue of Love is Blind, but without the editing or gold chalices – UpDating.

Stevie Bowen revisits the early 20’s dating stories that inspired her modern Carrie Bradshaw moment – complete with her own version of Mr. Big. She dishes on the men behind the monikers in her memoir, The City of Dating…the one who (unknowingly) took her virginity, the one who fulfilled her sk8tr boi fantasy, the one who viewed protein powder as a food group…and the Charlottes, Mirandas, and Samanthas who were there to gossip with her over brunch the morning after.

77. Dating Like a Main Character w/Case Kenny

Subscribe: Spotify | Blubrry | RSS | More

Case Kenny of New Mindset, Who Dis? podcast joins me to discuss how reckless fuckboy / fuckgirl accusations, main character energy, and other dating buzzwords are impacting our love lives. He breaks down ways to own your standards and sniff out a legitimate fuckperson in the process without being labeled as “crazy.” Finally, we explore why we’re quicker to label someone a sociopath than to reflect on what we’re actually bringing to the table (or as Kelis would say, “to the yard”).

I’m back for a solo episode to kick off Q4, and to advocate for why October undeniably marks the universal start of cuffing season.

66. Swipe Economy

Roland Toney, brother-in-law of former guest David Zeff, shares his perspective on dating apps as an elder millennial who’s never used them. We analyze the dating app economics that favor fuckboy behaviors and undermine efforts to find a long-term partner, like A/B profile testing (evaluating which pictures/prompts have the highest success rate), level of investment (commitment to people you meet on an app vs. IRL), and paradox of choice (endless profiles to swipe through).

This week Karen and I dive into the intersection of the platonic and the romantic relationships in our lives, and explore the widespread impact of friendship dynamics on dating. We enter the dreaded friend zone, discussing how to determine if you’re stuck in it, and her identity as “The Friend Zone Queen.” We also unpack dynamics between friends and significant others, like when to introduce them, and how to deal if you don’t like your friend’s partner or vice versa – including a very unfiltered roast of my ex from Karen’s perspective.

This week I’m independently recording for Independence Day to discuss involuntary independence – aka how to cope with a break-up.
