This week on Love, Brie, I chat with Rory Uphold—creator and host of the top 1% podcast Crimes of the Heart, Sundance Fellow, TV writer, and former Super Bowl songwriter—about her upcoming book A FINAL GIRL’S GUIDE TO THE HORRORS OF DATING.
Rory brings her signature wit, storytelling, and unflinching honesty to the chaos of modern romance. We dive into the Halloween-adjacent horrors of dating: ghosting, love-bombing vampires, and why certain exes deserve to stay in the relationship graveyard. We also swap personal dating stories, laugh through our mistakes, and uncover the inner fears that keep us stuck in toxic cycles.
Whether you’ve been breadcrumbed, bench-marked, or catfished, Rory’s memoir-survival guide combo is a hilarious and brutally honest reminder that you can survive the dating apocalypse—and be the Final Girl in your own love story.
Tune in for laughs, scares, and real talk about navigating heartbreak, online dating, and the emotional vampires lurking in your DMs.
