Why You Only Miss Relationships After They End (And How to Be Present Before It’s Too Late)

Ever wonder why we only recognize the best moments after they’ve slipped by? This episode dives into the ache of missing wonderful chapters, even as you’re living them. From leaving behind messy apartments and old relationships to the science of nostalgia, regret, and derealization. It’s all about why we struggle to notice the good stuff when it’s right in front of us, and how to start being present before it’s too late.

If You're Bored, Then You're Boring

I’ve been living in a hotel with my dog, Holly. Not on vacation, but stuck between homes, routines, and tourists in the elevator. This week, I discuss holding it together when nothing feels familiar while pretending everything is fine on the air. I’m also realizing that "boring" might have been the best phase all along.

The Best of GCT (So Far)

A quick detour before the next full episode drops. These are the moments listeners keep messaging me about. The parts where I apparently said something honest enough that it stuck. If you’re new, this is a good place to start. If you’ve been here since the beginning, thanks for staying.

16 She's Swiping With a Dying Husband at Home

This one’s real. Real bios. Real photos. Real lies. I went through my actual dating feed live and called out every ridiculous, half-assed, or straight-up manipulative profile I came across. But it doesn’t stop there. Because one profile wasn’t just bad, it was sick! She’s a flight attendant, used her uniform in photos, and claimed to be single. What she didn’t mention? She’s married and her husband has a terrible illness. And she’s still out there swiping, flirting, and pretending none of it e...

13 Dear Men, You Suck. Love, Trent

I’m pissed. Grown men leering at women like they’re zoo animals while yelling from cars, staring like dipshits. It’s pathetic and needs to stop.

Have you ever received a text message meant for someone else that revealed something they would never want you to know? It probably wasn't as revealing as the one I received! I have a personal story about a text I received from my girlfriend that wasn't meant for me.
