What happens when grief enters a relationship — and suddenly love, dating, marriage, friendship, family, and even your situationship all start acting weird? In this episode of MissJudged, Alyssa is joined by viral creator Sidney Raz (@sidneyraz) for a raw, funny, and surprisingly helpful conversation about grief, loss, love, cancer, miscarriage, death, and how relationships survive life’s most devastating moments. Don’t worry we keep it fun and funny!

Sidney opens up about losing his daughter in utero, his experience with miscarriage and pregnancy loss, and how that heartbreaking loss led to the discovery of his cancer diagnosis. Alyssa and Sidney also talk about the deaths and losses they have both experienced, and how grief changed the way they showed up in romantic relationships, marriages, situationships, friendships, family dynamics, and even their own identities.

This episode breaks down how grief affects relationships, dating, marriage, emotional availability, intimacy, communication, resentment, support systems, and the way people see you when you appear resilient, positive, or “fine” on the outside.

Alyssa and Sidney also get into the five stages of grief, how long grief actually takes, why healing is not linear, and why grief does not politely follow a calendar invite. They discuss what NOT to say to someone who is grieving, how to support a grieving partner, friend, or family member, what people get wrong about miscarriage and cancer, and how humor can become a survival tool when life is being deeply offensive. Because sometimes being the funny one doesn’t mean sending someone grieving an “RIP” or a “thoughts and prayers” text.

If you have ever experienced grief, death, miscarriage, pregnancy loss, cancer, friendship loss, family trauma, a breakup, dating after loss, or trying to keep a relationship alive while emotionally unwell, this episode is honest, emotional, funny, and deeply relatable.

Topics discussed include grief and relationships, how grief affects relationships, dating after loss, love after loss, miscarriage, pregnancy loss, cancer diagnosis, death and grief, grief in marriage, grief in dating, grief in situationships, friendship grief, family dynamics, emotional resilience, toxic positivity, the five stages of grief, what not to say to someone grieving, how to support someone grieving, and how couples survive grief.

Why do you keep choosing the wrong partners? Is it trauma, attachment style, or are you unknowingly dating narcissists and emotionally unavailable people over and over?

In this episode of MissJudged, Alyssa sits down with a licensed relationship therapist to break down the psychology behind toxic relationships, narcissistic partners, emotional abuse, trauma, attachment styles, and why so many intelligent, self-aware people still find themselves repeating the same unhealthy dating patterns.

Forget the therapy buzzwords—we're talking about what trauma actually is according to psychology (and why Alyssa hates its overuse). We unpack the difference between Big T Trauma and little t trauma. We also get brutally honest about what it's really like to date a narcissist. How do narcissistic relationships slowly erode your self-esteem? Why is emotional abuse so difficult to recognize while you're living through it? Why do survivors often blame themselves long after the relationship ends? And how do you heal after someone has made you question your own reality?

We also dive into one of the most overlooked topics in modern relationships: sexual rejection. What happens when your partner repeatedly rejects intimacy? Can sexual rejection damage your confidence, create resentment, or permanently impact a relationship? Jessa explains the psychology behind why rejection feels so personal and how couples can begin rebuilding emotional and physical intimacy.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What trauma actually is—and what it isn't

• Big T Trauma vs. little t trauma explained

• How attachment styles influence the partners you choose

• Why so many people repeat unhealthy dating patterns

• Alyssa shares the warning signs of narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships

• How emotional abuse impacts self-esteem, confidence, and mental health

• Why it's so difficult to leave—and recover from—toxic relationships

• How someone else's unresolved issues can become your emotional burden

• The psychology of sexual rejection and its impact on relationships

• How to heal, rebuild your confidence, and create healthier relationships

Whether you're recovering from a toxic relationship, questioning your dating patterns, trying to understand trauma, or wondering if you've dated a narcissist, this conversation offers practical insight backed by psychology—not social media myths.

If you've ever searched "What is trauma?" "Am I dating a narcissist?" "How do attachment styles affect relationships?" "Why do I keep choosing the wrong partners?" or "How do I heal after emotional abuse?" this episode is for you.
