About this listen

A Couples Therapist and a Dating Coach Walk Into a Podcast…


Love rom-coms but find yourself screaming at the screen? So do we. Rom-Com Rescue is the podcast where couples therapist Dr. Isabelle Morley and healthy dating educator Kira Sabin break down your favorite romantic comedies—the good, the bad, and the wildly unrealistic.


We’re here to celebrate the heart-fluttering moments, call out red and green flags, and offer real-life dating and relationship wisdom along the way.


Is that grand gesture actually love-bombing? Is the broody love interest just emotionally unavailable? Should they really have ended up together—or was the best friend the right choice all along? We’re unpacking it all with humor, heart, and a little tough love....because we believe you can create your own happily ever after.

  • Bridgerton Couples: Chaotic Edition (Because Emotional Regulation Is the Rarest Jewel of the Ton)
    Feb 20 2026

    Any takeaways from this episode?

    Dearest, gentle listeners… our Bridgerton series is back, and today we are talking Bridgerton Couples. We’re starting with Chaotic Edition (Healthy Edition drops next week).

    Today we’re breaking down the couples who brought:

    • 🔥 High chemistry
    • 💣 Low emotional regulation
    • 🎭 Push–pull soulmate energy
    • ⚖️ Serious power imbalances

    We’re looking at passion vs. skills, conflict escalation vs. repair, and why the most addictive love stories are often the messiest ones.

    Chaos is compelling.
    Chemistry is intoxicating.
    But emotional skills are what actually sustain love.

    Next week: Healthy Couples Edition!

    Because we don’t just watch love stories — we believe we create our own happily ever afters. 💫

  • Bridgerton Attachment STYLES: Why We Chase, Why We Shut Down, and How to RepairUntitled Episode
    Feb 13 2026

    Any takeaways from this episode?

    Bridgerton is back, and so are we. 💌

    In this second installment of our Bridgerton deep dive, we’re breaking down the pursuer–withdrawer dynamic and what “earned secure” actually means — through the romantic chaos of Benedict, Sophie, Anthony, and the Duke.

    We cover:

    • What attachment styles really are (and what they’re not)
    • The pursuer–withdrawer dynamic in relationships
    • Why big emotions aren’t always romance
    • Power dynamics, communication, and emotional regulation
    • How to move toward secure attachment — no matter your starting point

    Romance is delicious. Fantasy is fun.
    But we still believe: we create our own happily ever afters.

    New Bridgerton episodes drop weekly this month, leading up to our live Bridgerton Afternoon Tea in March.

    Tell us your hot take — what did this season reveal about your attachment style?

  • Biggest Love Lessons (good & not-so-good) from Bridgerton Season 4 (So Far)
    Feb 5 2026

    Any takeaways from this episode?

    Bridgerton is back, and we’re kicking off our month-long Bridgerton Central event with a look at the best and not-so-great love lessons from the first half of Season 4.

    What We Loved

    • Francesca & John’s calm, respectful communication
    • More vulnerability and open conversations about intimacy
    • Dating without putting “future spouse” pressure on every interaction
    • Reminder that real love grows in reality, not fantasy

    What Made Us Side-Eye

    • The “reformed rake” myth
    • Benedict’s power imbalance and lack of clear communication
    • Bare-minimum behavior being treated as heroic
    • Eloise’s rigid identity and jealousy this season

    Big Takeaway:
    Healthy relationships are built on honesty, respect, vulnerability, and consent — not grand gestures or fantasy projections.
