Unbothered
Hosted by Chloe Madison, Unbothered is part big sister advice, part group chat, and part emotional support podcast. The rules of modern womanhood keep changing, and we're all improvising. From self-worth and boundaries to heartbreak, burnout, and starting over, each episode invites you to question old narratives, choose yourself, and laugh through the chaos with the occasional martini in hand.

You don’t get the life you don’t show up for
Ever heard of the butterfly effect? It’s never the big, obvious moment that changes your life. It’s the random night you almost cancel. You say yes instead of “another time,” and it turns into a relationship, an opportunity, a new best friend… or something that changes everything.This episode is about how the moments you almost talk yourself out of are usually the ones you need the most.Try out my
What doesn't kill you calls you six months later
The more you want something, the further it seems to get. The second you let go, it shows up. Law of detachment, baby. If your mood is riding on one outcome, this is your reset. Let me help you stop spiraling and start trusting what’s meant for you, and show you how to actually detach when you feel like you can’t. Follow the pod on IG and TikTok.Follow Chloe
Stories that sound fake but unfortunately aren’t (w/ Emon Abdullah)
You asked and Emon is back. We’re telling stories — the time her best friend catfished her ex-boyfriend and got arrested for extortion, the roommate situation that slowly turned into a horror story, getting stuck in an elevator with Larry David while Chloe argued with him over a box, and several stories that still don’t feel real.

You Can't Fix Him (w/ Kate Speights)
He had potential. You had patience. And now you're realizing love can't turn someone into who they're not. Kate Speights joins me to talk about why you simply cannot build a man.

Not the Pinterest advice, the real stuff that actually works when you feel like a dim version of yourself.Fa
The Start vs. The End of Your 20s (w/ Trin Blair)
Your 20s are chaotic and messy, but that’s the point. Trinity Blair joins me for a big sister/little sister moment that honestly healed something in both of us. She asks what it’s actually like to be 29, and I share what 21-year-old me misunderstood about love, ambition, and growing up. If you’ve felt behind, too intense, or mildly convinced everyone else has it figured out...they don’t. And this
Unfiltered Advice Hour (w/ Jaci Marie Smith)
We’re talking about dating a man with potential instead of proof, living with a friend who might secretly want your life, the boyfriend who’s “private” but somehow still posts everything but you, when generosity starts sounding like leverage, why chaos feels hotter than calm, and what to do when the people closest to you slowly drain your peace.Follow the pod on IG and TikTok.

Self-Doubt Sells
I took a beat, and I’m back. Happy 2026 🤍 In this solo episode, I discuss confidence, insecurity, and how beauty culture and social media subtly influence our self-worth.

Leave that man, don't settle
Been holding on to this one since October, and the time has come. Talking yourself into staying? Ignoring the voice telling you it’s time to go? That heaviness in your gut is the answer.

The end of Unhinged
If you had told me a year and a half ago, when I first came up with the idea for Unhinged, that it would take off as fast as it did—and end just as quickly—I would have laughed in your face. The day I created the accounts and stepped into the studio was one of the best of my life. What I didn’t know was that while I was doing most of the work to keep the train on the tracks, Emma had been planning
