Episode 13: Are We Addicted to Almost? | The Truth About Modern Love, Breadcrumbing, Dating Fatigue & How to Detox

October 28, 2025 • Ella Kuhn

We don’t just fall for people.. we fall for potential.

In this episode, I explore the psychology behind almost love: the intermittent dopamine hits that keep us hooked, the emotional overstimulation from dating apps, and why commitment feels rare in a world that glorifies chaos.

If you’ve ever been caught in a situationship, breadcrumbed, or exhausted by modern dating, this one’s for you. 💔

You’ll leave with tools to break free from the “slot-machine” highs and finally remember what whole love feels like.

🎙️ Topics:

•The slot machine effect of almost relationships

•Dating app overstimulation

•Breadcrumbing & emotional scarcity

•Healing from half love

•Choosing yourself in wholeness now over waiting for someone’s maybe

✨ Half love still costs full peace.
