U-Haul and Unpack - Friendships, Betrayal, and Healing After Toxic Relationships
U-Haul and Unpack isn’t your average self-help podcast.. It’s raw, bold, and a little messy (just like real life). We’re two married lesbians unpacking the breakups, betrayals, and toxic ties of romantic relationships, friendships, and family (yes, even the one with your mom), that no one wants to talk about, but everyone has lived through. From fake friends who drain you to long-term relationships that end in heartbreak, we’re calling it out and breaking it down so you can finally stop people-pleasing, spot the red flags, and walk away without looking back. This podcast is for you if you’ve ever asked yourself: Why do I keep attracting friends who drain me, gaslight me, or make everything about them? Is it loyalty… or am I just clinging to someone who’s already shown me who they are? What does healing after betrayal actually look like when your world just cracked in half, beyond the clichés of “self-care”? It’s like that one deep convo with your best friend, or even that stranger in the bar bathroom, that you didn’t know you needed. Think of it as a soft place to land, a call-out and a hug, and a bi-weekly reminder that putting yourself first isn’t selfish, it’s essential. Expect real stories, unfiltered conversations, and the kind of tough love that leads to your ultimate glow-up. Because loving others is real, but loving yourself is revolutionary.
