CRINGE & CRUMBLE

Girls' Trip Gone Wrong

In this episode, we unpack the glorious chaos of the girls' trip: the excited group chat, the planner who makes it real, the friend who pays late, the travel personalities that emerge, and the dinner math that sparks fights. From euphoric beginnings to depleted goodbyes at the airport, we examine why these trips reveal the truth about friendships and why smaller groups and shared expectations save the day.

Why Intimacy Moves Faster Than Honesty

In this episode of Cringe & Crumble, Tranisha sits down with Dr. Todd Giardina for a conversation about intimacy, communication, shame, mixed signals, and what it actually takes to talk honestly about sex.

Closure Addiction Break: Stop Chasing Closure & Resolve the Trigger with Cedric Bertelli

Host Tranisha sits down with Cedric Bertelli, founder of the Emotional Health Institute, to unpack why breakups and endings can trap us in a closure-seeking loop. They explore how the brain predicts emotion, how old patterns show up as real physical sensations that fuel rumination, and why checking an ex’s social media only reactivates the wound.
Cedric introduces Emotional Resolution (EmRes), a neuroscience-based somatic process, and shares simple steps listeners can use in the moment, bringing attention into the body for a few seconds up to 90, so the brain can update its prediction, settle the urge to “figure it out,” and begin releasing persistent emotional patterns.
