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.  Follow The Daddy Academy on IG | TikTok Follow Niko on IG | TikTok 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.

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.

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.

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.

This week, Emma is taking a beat on talking about relationships and men (finally) and is going down the rabbit hole about the people who have carried her through the wildest year of her life: her friends. She’s covering everything the real soulmates we find as adults, why friendship becomes the backbone of your life in your thirties, how adult friendships evolve and what it actually means to nurture the friendships that keep you standing when everything else is burning.  This one is raw, emotional, unexpectedly tear-stained, and full of the kind of tough love that will have you on the phone with the coworker you trauma-bonded with three years ago before the episode even ends. Emma breaks down the patterns she had to outgrow, the accountability she had to learn, the support she didn’t know she was allowed to receive, and the three rules she swears every adult needs if they want friendships that last decades — not seasons. It’s equal parts confession, call-to-action, and a love letter to the women who showed up for her when it mattered.

This week, Emma gets brutally honest about why so many women are stuck in their masculine energy — and why she’s officially done living in fight-or-flight for men who can’t lead, can’t decide, and can’t show up. After a chaotic, emotional weekend of moving, parties, and running into people she did not need to see, she breaks down the moment she realized she’s been carrying way too much in her relationships. Emma goes down the rabbit hole into the real psychology behind masculine vs. feminine energy (hint: it’s not gender, it’s survival mode), how women get pushed into “wearing the pants,” and the effort gap that’s dragging modern dating into the trenches. She lays out the red flags, the patterns, and the exact traits that separate boys from men — plus what it actually takes to feel safe enough to soften again. There’s a surprising reunion, a reality check she didn’t see coming, and a look into what dating is going to look like for her now: higher standards, stronger boundaries, and absolutely no mothering grown a** men.  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!

This week, Emma she sits down for another no-theme, no-filter ASK EMMA where nothing is off-limits. From navigating your “chronically single” era without losing your mind, to reframing self-worth, to what it actually looks like to choose yourself and move forward, Emma took your questions and is giving the tough-love big sister advice you will actually use. She goes down the rabbit hole about dating in New York City, uncertainty, how to stop missing someone, lovebombing, boundaries, and why being alone and being lonely are not the same thing. If you're in your single girl training season, post-breakup rebirth, or just trying to remember you're the prize — this one is for you.

This week, Emma is going down the rabbit hole on the one thing that determines every dating outcome, every relationship dynamic, and every “WTF am I doing” moment: boundaries. Fresh off her own breakup and officially in her NYC single-era renaissance, she breaks down how boundaries show up in early dating, long-term relationships, and those confusing almost-situationships that plague the modern dating world. Emma is unpacking the non-negotiables and hard-stop boundaries, how to communicate them without sounding unhinged, how to filter out the wrong people instantly, and why dating in your 30s is basically one long psychological experiment in self-respect. And now that she’s back on the market, Emma is sharing her own Non-Negotiable List she’ll be packing on every date so that you can start yours too. Whether you’re newly single, chronically disappointed by the apps, or just tired of abandoning yourself for men who can’t plan a date, this episode is a masterclass in choosing yourself first — then choosing better. Welcome to your boundary bootcamp.

This is an episode Emma never thought she'd have to record. In Part Two of her time-capsule episode, she returns with the update no one expected: Emma and “Mr. Right” are have broken up. No sob story, no dragging — just radical honesty. From cognitive dissonance to sunk-cost fallacy, she breaks down how a picture-perfect love unraveled after she recorded Part One on September 23rd, why misaligned futures can masquerade as “almost right,” and what choosing yourself actually looks like. This isn’t a story about blame — it’s about bravery. About walking away from someone good because it’s no longer right. About trusting your gut when your head and heart are at war. Emma shares the raw, unfiltered truth about what it really means to outgrow a love you thought would last forever. Watch the full video episode on YouTube.

On September 23rd, Emma sat down to record something she has never done before — a time-capsule episode. Her relationship with Mr. Right began to feel shaky so instead of waiting until the seemingly inevitable happened to talk about it, she recorded a digital diary entry in real time that she would only release when there was a conclusion to the uncertainty and what might become either her engagement announcement… or her breakup story. And today is that day. After two years with “Mr. Right,” talk of rings, proposals, and building a family suddenly takes a turn that forced Emma to confront one of life’s hardest emotional paradoxes: when someone says I love you, but I’m not ready. From naming the abandonment wound and the self-sabotage itch to the nervous system spiral that happens when “not yet” sounds a lot like “not you” — this is the beginning of the end and Emma is taking you with her. Watch the full video episode on YouTube and tune into Part Two to hear how what she thought was the perfect relationship unraveled.

You may think you know Hilaria Baldwin — but you have no idea. This week Emma sits down with Hilaria Baldwin and rips into the tabloid mythology: the alleged fake accent, the memes, the surrogacy whispers, and most recently her experience with bullying on Dancing With the Stars. As someone who has always had her narrative written for her, Hilaria is taking back frontal and saying the quiet part out loud about internet mobs, reputations for sale, and what really happens when a headline hijacks a life. No filters. No softballs. Just blunt questions, real-time receipts, and the real answers the internet didn’t script.

Halloween has officially entered its Too Much era — and host Emma Paige is showing up as the only thing scarier than your ex’s texts: an accountant. Why? Because this week, she’s got receipts. In this special Halloween episode, Emma gets brutally honest (and a little unhinged) about her lifelong obsession with horror movies — and why people like her find comfort in chaos, fear, and adenaline. From slumber-party trauma in the early 2000s to her theory on why some of us can sleep soundly after The Conjuring, Emma goes down the psychology rabbit hole behind horror obsession and how it can actually help anxiety… before reading real listener-submitted ghost stories that will make you question every creak in your apartment. It’s part therapy session, part séance, and 100% Too Much.

This week Emma heads straight for the jugular in this NYC-core episode of Too Much, sitting down with We Met at Acme host Lindsey Metselaar to dissect modern dating in New York — think dating app do’s & don’ts, nightclub bathroom lines, and why “the easygoing girl” is a myth. From first-date rules, to ghosting, love bombing, and the catch 22 that is the dating app, they get real about what women actually want, what men keep getting wrong, and how boundaries beat bare-minimum “green flags” every time. Then Emma wraps up the episode with a rapid-fire “Too Much / Not Enough” for Lindsey that will make every finance bro delete his Strava account. If you’ve ever met at Acme, matched in Manhattan, or tried to date with an edge in this city, this one’s for you.

This week, Emma is going down the rabbit hole into the psychology of love languages — beyond the basic “five” you think you know. The biggest takeaway? How your love languages evolve with your attachment style, trauma, and even your menstrual cycle. From decoding why your partner’s “I cleaned your room” doesn’t hit like an “I love you,” to how love languages get weaponized in relationships, Emma exposes the emotional dialects that make or break connection. Emma is sharing her take on Dr. Gary Chapman’s controversial origins, the modern love language rewrites, and what it actually means to love someone their way — not just yours. And as promised, stay tuned until the end for Emma’s real-life ghost story as part of her October Series set in her haunted LA apartment — scratches, moving objects, pink bathwater, and all.

ASK EMMA is back — and it’s more honest, blunt, slap-you-out-of-your-delulu than ever. Emma kicks off spooky season with chaos, clarity, and even a chilling ghost story you won’t forget (that comes bearing receipts). But before the paranormal, comes the personal. Emma goes down the rabbit hole of your rawest questions — from “Why am I still single?” to “How do I stop thinking about my avoidant ex?” — and delivers the tough love no one else will. She breaks down why being single is a choice, not a curse, why hypersensitive employees need to toughen up (sorry, not sorry), and what it takes to really heal. We’re getting real about a fear of men, friendship breakups, workplace boundaries, and what it actually means when your partner won’t unfollow their ex.  And then? Emma ends the episode with a true terrifying story caught on camera — “The Figure in the Hallway” — that’ll have you triple-checking your locks tonight. If you love relationship psychology, unfiltered advice, hot takes, and horror season chills, this one’s for you.

In this week’s episode, Emma finally goes down the rabbit hole of the infamous “Washington” story — the 32-day first date that started with a DM, detoured through Scottsdale and Palm Springs, and fast-tracked into moving in (or as she likes to say, “squatting”). What started as a spontaneous road trip turned into a  a crash course in love bombing and a year-long lesson in anxious attachment, mixed signals, and the danger of mistaking chemistry for compatibility. Emma reflects on why actions always speak louder than words, how sunk-cost thinking can keep us trapped, and why real intimacy grows slowly, not in a flash. It’s a story of ignoring gut instincts, chasing potential, and eventually choosing freedom over fantasy.

This week, Emma and newly engaged Ashley Nichole go down the bachelorette party rabbit hole — and it’s not all cute matching outfits and tequila shots. They call out the parts everyone not-so-secretly hates: power-tripping maids of honor, passive-aggressive "games" that feel like the Hunger Games, Splitwise drama, budget shaming, and the politics of who’s “close enough” to make the cut. But don't worry, they talk about the fun stuff too. Ashley breaks down her proposal story (yes, it was perfect) and Emma shares two of her very important hot takes that may have just cracked the code on how to make bachelorette parties drama-free. Consider this episode a permission slip to set boundaries, skip the cringe, and plan a celebration that fits the bride—not the group chat.

Self-sabotage is one of those things we all do, but rarely admit to. From procrastination and perfectionism to negative self-talk, toxic relationship cycles, and numbing habits — we’ve all been guilty of standing in our own way. In this episode, Emma is going down the rabbit hole about self-sabotage, why it’s rooted in fear and survival, and how it disguises itself as “logic” or “discipline.” Emma is sharing her own stories — everything from missed opportunities in her twenties to how hyper-independence and people-pleasing played into the patterns. More importantly, she's giving you the tools to recognize these habits, reframe them, and start building momentum again. If you’ve ever caught yourself saying “I’ll do it later,” picked the wrong partner because it felt easier, or sabotaged an opportunity out of fear of success, this episode is your wake-up call.

Moving out, moving in, and moving on — today’s Emma is going down the rabbit hole on one of the most defining parts of adulthood: living with someone. From her first chaotic dorm to years of living solo, and then finally moving in with Mr. Right, Emma is breaking down the lessons, horror stories, and hilarious realities of sharing your space. We’re talking communication, compromise, boundaries, and why the people you live with shape you more than you realize. Emma is sharing what living alone taught her about independence, why living with friends can make or break a relationship, and how cohabiting with a partner brings up insecurities, intimacy shifts, and a whole new level of vulnerability. Whether you’re debating your first solo apartment, dreading your roommate’s loud chewing, or considering moving in with your partner, this episode gives you the tools (and the warning signs) to set yourself up for success.

We’re talking attachment styles — the blueprint for how you love, fight, chase, or push people away. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re drawn to emotionally unavailable partners, why you freak out when someone pulls back, or why “secure” feels boring compared to chaos — this episode is for you. We're going down the rabbit hole on: The four attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, disorganized) and and why they're so important to identify and understand. Why 75% of relationships involve at least one insecure attachment style How your attachment style isn’t a life sentence — it can shift with the right partner, therapy, or self-work. The messy intersection of attachment styles, love languages, and toxic traits (spoiler: your toxic trait is often the opposite of your love language). How to stop calling anxiety “love” and start seeing security as peace, not boredom. It’s part psych lesson, part roast of my own past dating choices, and part pep talk to stop choosing the bad boy just because he makes your nervous system light up. Secure isn’t boring. Secure is freedom.
