So, last week we tackled the fear of being abandoned. This week? Plot twist: sometimes we’re the ones doing the leaving. Emotionally, at least. Welcome to Episode 8 of I’d Like to Unsubscribe and Part 2 of our Sick Love Series—where we lovingly call ourselves out for the emotional backflips we do to avoid intimacy while sick.

Chronic illness can jack up your self-worth, mess with your nervous system, and make you question if you’re still lovable when you’re wrapped in a blanket burrito, hair unbrushed, and watching reruns of Golden Girls (again). So what do we do? We ghost emotionally. We self-sabotage. We pick dumb fights over the dishwasher. Because being loved while sick feels dangerous. So we bolt—metaphorically or literally—before they can.

In this episode, Marisa and Britt unpack what it means to be "loved-sick" and why those of us with unpredictable bodies and trauma-filled histories often default to reject love before it rejects me. It's part science, part sass, and fully validating if you’ve ever panicked over a kind word or ruined a perfectly good cuddle with a random meltdown.

But here’s the good news: we can learn to let love in. Even on flare days. Even when we feel unworthy. Especially then.

If you’ve ever whispered, “No one will ever really love me because I'm chronically ill"—this one’s for you. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com -

Let’s get real: nothing tests the vows of “in sickness and in health” like actually getting sick. In this powerful (and painfully honest) first episode of our two-part Sick Love series, Marisa and Britt rip the bandaid off a huge fear lurking in many chronically ill relationships: What if they leave?

This episode dives deep into the gnarly, unspoken anxiety of abandonment when illness crashes the relationship party. Spoiler: you’re not crazy for worrying—science backs it up. (Yes, we have the peer-reviewed receipts.) From subtle emotional withdrawals to actual ghosting, we break down what abandonment really looks like—and why it’s way more common (and silent) than you think.

But we’re not just here to cry into heating pads. We unpack where this fear comes from, how to talk about it with your partner, and how to begin healing when you're feeling like “too much.” Expect truth bombs, awkward laughs, maybe a few tears, and the comforting reminder that you are not alone.

So if your love life has ever had to compete with symptoms, cancelled plans, or flaming tongues (yep, that’s a thing), grab a cozy blanket and press play. Today, we’re unsubscribing from the fear of being abandoned—✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com -

This week on I’d Like to Unsubscribe, Britt and Marisa are diving into the tendency to self-blame after diagnosis. Yep, we did it too! Ever had your immune system turn on you like a frenemy at brunch? Welcome to the club no one asked to join—autoimmune and/or chronic illness life. In this week’s episode Britt and Marisa are pulling back the curtain on one of the most common and quietly destructive thoughts women with autoimmune diseases face: “Did I do this to myself?” "Is this all my fault?"Spoiler alert: You didn’t. And it's not.But if you're a Type A+, high-achieving, people-pleasing, perfection-chasing powerhouse, chances are you’ve asked yourself that question (probably more than once). From guilt to blame to full-on body betrayal, we’re diving into why these feelings are so common, why they’re completely undeserved, and how learning to forgive yourself can be a game-changer—mentally and physically.We’re also breaking down what really causes autoimmune diseases (hint: it’s not because you skipped yoga once), and giving you a science-backed, sass-laced permission slip to release the shame.So grab your tea (or wine, no judgment), and join us as we hit “unsubscribe” on self-blame, one sarcastic truth bomb at a time.✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com

This week on I’d Like to Unsubscribe, Britt and Marisa are ripping up the imaginary contract that says we must be perfect at everything—caregivers, youth icons, chefs, employees, runway-ready models—and somehow do it all while managing a chronic illness. Spoiler alert: It’s a scam.

Join us as we take a nosedive into the dumpster fire of unrealistic expectations—the kind that leave you feeling guilty for resting, burned out from doing too much, and wondering why a nap feels like the highlight of your week. We’re talking science (hello cortisol spikes), society’s obsession with hustle culture, the invisible labor of caregiving, and how it’s all pushing us toward epic burnout.

But don’t worry—we’re not just here to vent. We’re handing you a lighter for that toxic to-do list and sharing practical ways to reclaim your time, your energy, and your joy. You'll laugh, you’ll probably say “yep, that’s me,” and most importantly, you’ll learn how to unsubscribe from perfection and say yes to a life that actually feels good.

Spoiler: embracing your quirks is much more healing than pretending to be perfect.

Alright, be honest—have you ever spiraled into the existential crisis of Am I too much? Are you oversharing? Over-feeling? Over-existing? Well, guess what? It’s not you. It’s them. (Okay, maybe not always, but like…a lot of the time.)

In this episode of I’d Like to Unsubscribe, Britt and Marisa are hitting “unsubscribe” on the guilt trip that tells us to shrink ourselves to make other people comfortable. We’re diving into why we feel like we’re “too much,” how to stop apologizing for existing, and why the right people won’t just tolerate your full, messy, fabulous self—they’ll celebrate it.

If you’ve ever held back because you didn’t want to overwhelm someone, this one’s for you. So grab your tea, heating pad, or emotional support snack, and let’s unpack the nonsense together. Because spoiler alert: You are not too much. You are exactly enough. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com

Chronic illness can feel like being stuck in a toxic relationship—with surprise flare-ups, random pain, and doctors telling us our body is literally fighting against us. It’s no wonder we start thinking of our bodies as the enemy. But what if that narrative is all wrong? What if your body isn’t at war with you, but is actually trying its hardest to keep up and survive?

In this episode, we’re flipping the script on the “my body hates me” mindset. We’ll talk about the psychological toll of believing our body is working against us and how that belief can secretly sabotage our healing. You’ll learn how to stop seeing your body as a separate, hostile force and start recognizing it as a partner—one that’s doing its best under really tough circumstances.

We’ll also dive into ways to mend that body relationship (because it’s not like we can ghost it forever). From writing a love letter to your body to shifting how you respond to flare-ups, we’re getting real about how to build trust and compassion with the one thing that’s been with you through it all—your body.

It’s time to stop fighting ourselves and start practicing some radical self-love. Because your body isn’t your enemy. It’s your teammate, your ride-or-die, and honestly? It deserves some credit for showing up every single day. Let’s learn how to show up for it, too. Grab your coffee, your blanket, or your emotional-support snack, and let’s get into it. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com

Alright, friends, let’s have an honesty moment. Have you ever tried to not deal with your emotions? Like, just shove them into a mental junk drawer and hope they disappear? Yeah, same. Turns out, that’s not how feelings work. Who knew?Last week, we covered the fine art of being mad, sad, and frustrated about our pain—because, newsflash, you have to feel it before you heal it. And if you skipped that episode, we'd say go back and give it a listen when you have time. Today, we’re talking about Acceptance—that magical, final stage where you stop fighting reality like a toddler who skipped naptime and actually start moving forward.So, let’s unpack this together—because we promise, there is a way out of the grief loop, and no, it doesn’t involve just ‘getting over it.’ Grab your coffee, your blanket, or your emotional-support snack, and let’s get into it. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com

Grief—it’s the unwanted guest that shows up, wrecks your plans, and refuses to leave, no matter how hard you try to ignore it. In this episode, we’re diving into the messy, complicated ways grief shows up in chronic illness, identity loss, and life’s unexpected detours (because, surprise, it doesn’t just stick to the “big” stuff). We’ll talk about why you absolutely have permission to grieve, why it never moves in a straight line, and how sometimes it disguises itself as anger, exhaustion, or that weird stomachache you get when feelings get too real. Most importantly, we’ll explore how to carry grief differently—without letting it break you—and maybe even find a little hope (or at least a less painful way to step on it when it shows up, like a rogue Lego in the dark).
