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.

Episode 7: Fck Their Potential - How Your Fantasies Keep You in Toxic Relationships
Stop choosing someone’s potential and start seeing people for who they actually are.
They're not everything you were hoping they'd be because you’re fixated with the version of them you built in your head. Your own patterns influence who you allow in and how much.
In this episode, we dig into why so many of us focus on potential, ignore patterns, and stay loyal to the fantasy instead of the reality right in front of us.
We unpack:
🚩 Red flags of “fixer” relationships and why they drain your self-worth.
💔 How projecting your fantasy onto someone keeps you stuck in toxic cycles.
🔑 Why choosing reality over potential is the ultimate act of self-love and the key to healthy relationships.
If you’re tired of getting hooked on people’s “could be” instead of their actual behavior, this one’s for you.
Potential doesn’t pay rent in your relationships, and it definitely won’t build the ones you want.
Let’s unpack it.
