Hosted by trauma-recovery certified content creator, educator & writer Christan Marashio.

It’s just me this week, and I’m diving into something I know so many of us struggle with: how to use dating apps without completely wrecking your nervous system (and your self-worth). In this bonus episode, I...
Carrie’s chasing closure (again), Aiden’s tossing guilt like steak on a grill, and Miranda and Joy give us the emotional intimacy we actually want to see. This week, we’re unpacking the latest And Just Like That—from toxic dating patterns and emotional baggage to that five-word kiss of death: “You smell like smoke. Get away.”
We break down the difference between closure and clarity, why Aiden’s still the same insecure guy from 2002,...
In this week’s episode, we kick off another installment of Fuck That Guy Palooza—because apparently cheating CEOs at Coldplay concerts just won’t stop giving. Yes, we’re talking about the Astronomer CEO who thought snuggling up to HR mid-marriage was a stealth move… until he got smacked by the karmic arm of the Jumbotron. Sir, you’re not even the brightest star in your own scandal.
But that’s not all—we also dive into the emotional ...
This week on Worth The Wait, Sarah and I kick off another round of Fuck That Guy Palooza—and this one’s a doozy. We start with a listener letter about a woman who put together a thoughtful care package for a guy she’d been seeing for two months… only to get a text back that basically said, “Cool stuff, but calm down, Fatal Attraction.” We break down whether that kind of response is emotionally unavailable, avoidant, or just plain r...
If you were still on the fence about Carrie Bradshaw being the actual worst, this episode knocked you off and dragged you. Between flinching at Miranda’s kiss, sabotaging Miranda’s party plans, and pulling a full “What are you doing in my kitchen?” meltdown because Miranda made an observation, our girl Carrie is out here giving main character syndrome a bad name.
We talk Patti LuPone (yes, she was right there and did not sing), Joy’...
Aidan breaks a 200-year-old window trying to be romantic, and somehow, that sets the tone for everything that follows: emotional cracks, bad communication, and a man spiraling while a woman tries to hold it all together. Again.
This week, we unpack the guilt women carry for wanting more than caretaking roles, the emotional labor they’re expected to perform without recognition, and how female friendships continue to be the most stabl...
This week on Worth The Weight, we’re talking about a man who ghosted a woman for three weeks—only to crawl back into her inbox to declare he was “0% interested” and demand she unmatch him. (Because clearly, unmatching is a task best outsourced to the woman you just emotionally sucker-punched.)
We break down how this kind of passive-aggressive tantrum is less about closure and more about control, and why so many men would rather hurt...
This week on Worth the Weight, we're recapping the latest episode of And Just Like That…, but fair warning — we veer into the real star of the show: Carrie’s shoes. We kick things off with a nod to one of the most iconic Sex and the City episodes, A Woman’s Right to Shoes, and the chaos that followed one woman daring to wear $500 stilettos to a kid-friendly party. (Justice for the stilettos, honestly.)
From there, we dive into C...
Why abrupt silence can reopen old wounds.
This week, Sarah and I are digging into one of the most relatable—and frustrating—dating experiences: when you’re not sure if someone’s being avoidant… or just not that into you. We start with what might be And Just Like That’s best episode yet (no, seriously), which we fully unpack in a bonus episode here on Patreon. If you’re not subscribed, go now—this one hits hard, especially if you com...

This week, I made a bold declaration: Season 3, Episode 4 of And Just Like That might be one of the best of the entire series—not Sex and the City, but definitely AJLT. In this recap, Sarah and I break down all the reasons why—from the long overdue focus on the core thre...
In this episode, Sarah and I unpack everything—starting with why we changed the name of the podcast. Worth The Weight isn’t just about pounds lost (though we talk about that, too)—it’s about the emotional, psychological, and societal weight women carry every damn day. We talk about what led to the rebrand, why I almost broke up with ChatGPT (spoiler: Mira and I had our first fight), and how Sarah saved the day with the new podcast ...
It’s time, once again, to ask: what exactly are we watching here? In this bonus episode, Sarah and I recap And Just Like That, Season 3, Episode 3—and let’s just say, it’s giving “Carrie is shrinking herself for a man again” and we are not here for it. From Adderall handoffs to hiding in guest houses, this episode was a cringe buffet. We break down the callbacks to “Suffern,” shirt repeats, Charlotte’s club adventures, Seema’s “don...
It’s National Donut Day, but men are still the holes in our hearts. In this episode, Kristen and Sarah break down one woman’s very relatable anxiety over being asked for just one more selfie by the dudes on dating apps — spoiler: it’s not just about catfishing, it’s entitlement cosplay. We talk body doubling for ADHD journaling (Kristen’s becoming that girl — planners, stickers, and all), the grief journaling project she's ...
We’re back with another And Just Like That recap — and honestly? The metaphors are practically screaming this season. Carrie’s still clinging to the idea that Aiden 2.0 is going to magically give her the life she wanted 20 years ago (spoiler: he’s not), Miranda’s still out here collecting emotional chaos like it’s a side hustle, and Charlotte’s entire storyline continues to make zero sense for a woman who used to have an Ivy Le...
Lost weight, found savings, still dodging man-babies. 🏃♀️💸👶🙄

We're back, and so are the ladies! In this episode, we break down everything from And Just Like That Season 3, Episode 1 — the moments that worked, the ones that made us cringe (Looking at you, Aidan), and the plotlines we’re already side-eyeing.
From Carrie's bizarre acceptance of Aidan's request to put their relationship on pause for five years, to Seema's refusal to settle, to Miranda’s deflowering Sister Mary One Night Stand, an...
Enjoy a teaser of our And Just Like That... Season 3, Ep 1 Recap
From Carrie's bizarre acceptance of Aidan's request to put their relationship on pause for five years, to Seema's refusal to settle, to Miranda’s deflowering Sister Mary One Night Stand, and everything in between — we’ve got thoughts.
Pour yourself a glass of Chardonnay and join us as we kick off another season of recaps, hot takes, and plenty of side commen...
In this episode, Sarah and I dive into the internet backlash aimed at a dating coach who had the audacity to admit she married a “nice nerdy guy” without feeling an instant spark — and she’s happy. Naturally, the internet lost its damn mind.
We talk about why the obsession with “zsa zsa zu” is keeping women stuck in toxic patterns, and why the absence of anxiety doesn’t mean the absence of attraction. We also unpack the insidious na...
Aging, ADHD, and the lie that weight loss fixes everything. Plus: Healing means circling back — this time with more clarity and fewer breakdowns.

This week, we’re diving into dating patterns, gut instincts, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes… it’s your trauma playing matchmaker. We break down a listener letter from someone who thought she finally found a unicorn — until he bailed out of nowhere. Was it anxiety? Or was her intuition picking up on something real?
We talk about the difference between anxiety and intuition, why emotionally available partners can feel “off...
