Is Your Family Ruining Your Relationship? Family Boundaries & Dating ft. @CandiceGuardino
1w ago01:04:25Tap to summarizeYou don't just date them—you date their entire family system. In this savage-but-true episode, Alyssa sits down with @CandiceGuardino to tackle the #1 source of relationship stress: in-laws and family boundaries. We break down the hilarious and horrifying reality of family meddling: from the people who only need parental approval, not a partner, to those who are recreating their chaotic childhood in their love life. Learn why people date what feels familiar instead of what’s healthy, why over-involved parents can delay marriage, and how to finally set boundaries without having a meltdown. If your relationship has a third person (Mom), this is your must-listen.In this episode we will talk about:Why people often don’t date what is healthy; they date what feels familiar.If your parents fought a lot, you’re more likely to think chaos is passion.The number one reason couples fight is in-laws and family boundaries.Are we just dating potential?Some people are not dating a partner; they’re dating with their family in the group chat.You learn more about your partner from one Thanksgiving or road trip than you do from six months of dating.Over-involved parents can actually delay marriages because they make partners feel judged or controlled.Sibling dynamics and relationships- should you insert yourself?Nothing tests a relationship quite like traveling together, IKEA, weddings, or Christmas with their family.Have you ever dated someone who’s family made them more appealing? Or someone who was perfect but you could NEVER spend a holiday with their family?? Ever wonder what do healthy boundaries with partners and family look like?

Transcribe →Why You’re Not Getting a Second Date -Brutal Truths (Alyssa Solo)
3w ago00:31:26Tap to summarizeEver leave a first date thinking “that went amazing”… and then get hit with silence, a slow fade, or the classic “you’re great but…”? In this episode of MissJudged, Alyssa Pettinato in her solo era answers the age-old question: why didn’t it progress to a second date? And yes—she’s brutally honest about it (with sisterly, comedic energy so it doesn’t feel like a personal attack).We get into the patterns you might be repeating that quietly sabotage your dating life, the communication steps people forget after a first date that actually build momentum, and the conversational faux pas that can give someone the ick even when you didn’t mean to. Alyssa breaks down the difference between chemistry vs. comfort vs. attraction, why “good conversation” isn’t the same as romantic interest, and how to tighten up your approach so you stop getting stuck at date #1. Also the mindset to be in if it is not a match.If you’ve been asking:“Why didn’t they ask me out again?”“Did I do something wrong?”“Was there a red flag I missed?”“Why does this keep happening to me?”“Should I even care if they weren’t a fan?!”- PS…..NO! …this episode is your answer—with laughs, truth, and actual fixes.Support the showLike what you hear?

Feb 1201:07:44Tap to summarizeAre you actually toxic… or are you just chronically exhausted? In this episode of MissJudged, Alyssa Pettinato sits down with sleep expert Todd Anderson—who wastes absolutely no time roasting her for proudly running on six hours of sleep and believing she’s “thriving” because her Oura Ring told her so.

Transcribe →Friendship Breakups, Villain Energy and Letting Go Ft. @LindseySimcik
Jan 2900:57:11Tap to summarizeStarting 2026 with a reminder to refresh more then just your closet. Friendship breakups don’t get enough airtime — and somehow they still manage to hurt more than romantic ones. In this episode, Alyssa is joined by Lindsey Simcik, (one half of the Almost 30 Podcast), for an honest, funny, and soulful conversation about what happens when friendships start to feel misaligned… and how to let go without turning yourself into the villain. We also hear Lindsey be very honest about working with a friend and her own friendship break ups.We talk about how to spot a bad or draining friendship (before you fully lose your mind), how to tell the difference between a friendship that needs a TIMEOUT vs. one that’s actually over, and how to end things in a way that’s respectful both to them and to yourself. We also get into the grief no one warns you about: losing someone who’s still alive, still online, and still popping up on your feed like nothing happened. Does it hurt worse then a romantic ending?Plus, we lighten things up with a round of Red Flag or Just a Phase, breaking down friend behaviors that make you question everything — and deciding whether it’s growth, misalignment, or a sign it’s time to quietly exit the group chat.This episode is for anyone who’s outgrowing people, struggling with guilt, or trying to choose peace without burning every bridge along the way. Sometimes letting go isn’t mean — it’s just honest. Support the showLike what you hear? Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and tell a friend to help spread the word!

Jan 1501:12:42Tap to summarizeIs wellness actually making us healthier… or just wasting our money and time? In this episode, we’re joined by @DocJudComedy to officially separate medical facts from Instagram fiction. From mouth taping and cold plunges to hyperbaric chambers and Ozempic, we break down the viral wellness trends everyone is obsessing over—and ask the question no influencer wants to answer: is this actually helping us, or is it total BS?We get into why so many people are outsourcing their health decisions to social media, what these trends are really doing to your body, and where the line is between preventative care and full-blown wellness delusion. Doc brings the receipts, the science, and the brutal honesty—plus some wild ER stories you truly cannot make up (yes… including penis-related emergencies HA).To make it even better, we wrap with a rapid-fire “Healthy or Total Bullshit?” segment where nothing is safe and every trend gets judged.In this episode, we cover:Mouth taping: sleep hack or placebo?Cold plunges & ice baths—miracle or masochism?Hyperbaric chambers: elite recovery or luxury nonsense?Ozempic, weight loss culture, and what people aren’t talking aboutWhy influencer wellness advice spreads faster than real medical factsThe most unhinged ER stories Doc Judson has seen (you’ve been warned)Funny, unfiltered, and actually informative—this is the episode to listen to before you buy another wellness gadget you don’t need.Support the showLike what you hear?
