• No trauma on the first date — FT. Lindsey Metselaar

  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.Find We Met at Acme on InstagramFind Lindsey on InstagramEPISODE SPONSORS:Get 15% off your Schedule35 orders with code TOOMUCH at Schedule35.coGet 20% off your first month of Seed’s DS-01® Daily Synbiotic at seed.com/TOOMUCH20 with code TOOMUCH20Go to HelloFresh.com/TOOMUCH10FM now to Get 10 Free Meals + a Free Item for Life!For collaborations and opportunities, email: [email protected]⁠Shop the merch⁠⁠!!⁠Join the muchness on Patreon⁠Follow Too Much:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Follow Emma:⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Want to submit a story or ask Emma for advice?

• Giving what we never got: love languages 101

  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: brutally honest, tough love, big sister advice

  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.

• The 32-day first date

  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.

• Personally victimized by bachelorette parties

  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.
