About this listen

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 5: Fck Your Victim Card - You're Self Sabotaging...Start Owning Your Part
    Oct 6 2025

    How to let go of blame, take accountability, and finally heal from toxic relationships, betrayal, and self-sabotage.

    We’ve all been hurt.
    We’ve all had someone do us wrong.
    But holding onto the victim card doesn’t keep you safe...it just keeps you stuck.

    In this episode of U-Haul and Unpack, we’re unpacking what it really means to take accountability for your part in any relationship: romantic, platonic, or family, without dismissing the pain you’ve lived through.

    We’re sharing:

    🚩 The uncomfortable truth about being both the victim and the contributor

    💔 Why staying in victim mode blocks your healing

    🔑 How accountability is the only way to break toxic cycles

    This conversation is your permission slip to stop replaying what they did and start focusing on what you can change. Whether it’s a breakup, a friendship fallout, or a family wound that won’t close. This episode will help you reclaim your power and start healing forward.

    You can be the victim of something and the contributing factor at the same time. That’s where real growth begins. Let’s unpack it.

    Episode 4: Fck Your Family Too - Healing From Unhealthy Family Dynamics & Setting Boundaries
    Sep 22 2025

    How to break free from toxic family expectations, stop carrying generational guilt, and finally choose peace.

    Family loyalty sounds noble, until it becomes a prison.

    In this episode of U-Haul and Unpack, we’re calling out the one thing nobody wants to admit out loud: just because someone raised you, birthed you, or carries the title of “family,” doesn’t mean you live your life on their terms.

    This one is raw and personal. We share the truth about family ties that held us back, the guilt that kept us stuck way too long, and the tools that finally set us free.

    Together, we’ll unpack:

    🚩 How “family loyalty” often disguises emotional warfare

    💔 Why history doesn’t guarantee a future place in your life

    🔑 The exact shifts we made to set boundaries and choose peace without drowning in guilt

    If you’ve ever felt like loving your family means sacrificing yourself, or that walking away makes you selfish, this episode is for you. Family doesn’t mean you do as you're told, and it definitely doesn’t mean you dedicate your life to owing them.

    It’s time to stop confusing blood for bond. Let’s unpack it.

    Sep 9 2025

    How to recognize toxic friendships, set boundaries, and reclaim your energy.

    Not literally.. We’re talking about those “friends” you’ve been carrying around for decades who were never actually in your corner.

    Not all friends are really your friends. In this episode of U-Haul and Unpack, we’re unpacking the truth about toxic friendships, fake friends, and why people-pleasing kept us stuck way too long.

    From 30-year friendships that turned sour to the final straws that set us free, we’re sharing:

    🚩 Red flags of a toxic friend
    💔 How to know when it’s time to walk away
    🔑 Why cutting ties is the ultimate glow-up

    If your “friend” is holding you back instead of cheering you on, this episode will help you spot the signs, stop the cycle, and break out before you burn out.
