Rom-Com Rescue
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.

Champagne Problems: Hidden Books, Holiday Magic & the Return of Good Rom-Coms
Any takeaways from this episode?
This week, we’re heading straight into the French countryside — where the champagne is crisp, the men have fantastic accents, and apparently everyone has access to an impossibly charming bookstore.
Think:
📍 The French countryside
📍 Stoic Germans
📍 Champagne (so much champagne)
📍 Silly heirs & family drama
📍 Hidden childhood books
📍 Bookstore kisses
📍 And two incredibly emotionally mature adults
What We Get Into This Episode
❤️ Why this movie restored our faith in rom-coms
After months of mediocre rom-com chaos, Champagne Problems came along like a warm baguette to the soul. Real adults! Healthy communication! No messy exes showing up at the 11th hour!
💬 The “grown-ass-adult energy” of both leads
We talk about why Sydney and Henri might be two of the most refreshingly secure rom-com characters in years.
No games.
No nonsense.
Just actual vulnerability and direct communication.
Honestly? Revolutionary.
📦 Why people “fall in love” while traveling
Kira unpacks why vacation romance hits different — and why it’s SO much easier to be your real self when you don’t think you’ll see someone again.
☕ Safety PSA: The one moment that wasn’t it
Listen, sleeping with a charming French stranger your first night abroad sounds romantic, but we break down why it's also… not always the safest move.
🛍️ The emotional maturity we loved to see
Including the tiny, beautiful moment when Sydney sets a boundary between Henri and his dad — without inserting herself or playing savior.
🤣 The comedy MVPs: Roberto & Otto
We pull the best lines, including:
- “My body is a temple. Mine is more of a bouncy castle.”
- “I drink champagne, I throw parties, and I know things.”
📚 The big love lesson: Love doesn’t need chaos to be interesting
This movie proves that two kind, grounded humans with good values are compelling enough to carry a story.
Drama optional.
Champagne mandatory.
