Butterflies or Anxiety? How to Tell What You’re Really Feeling in Dating
Are those butterflies because you really like someone… or because you’re anxious and unsure where you stand?
In this episode of Young, Hot & Divorced, I’m talking about one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in dating: excitement doesn’t always equal compatibility.
We’re getting into the difference between butterflies and relationship anxiety, why inconsistency can sometimes feel like intense attraction, and what actually matters once you get past the exciting first-date moments.
I’m breaking down:
• What butterflies really tell you
• Excitement vs. anxiety in dating
• Why uncertainty can feel so addictive
• How consistency can actually make attraction better
• The questions I wish I had asked myself sooner
• How to know whether you genuinely like someone — or just love the feeling they give you
I still love the butterflies. I still want the attraction, the crush, and the excitement.
But now?
I want butterflies with peace.
If you’ve ever been obsessed with someone, constantly checked your phone, or wondered whether that intense feeling was love, attraction, or anxiety — this episode is for you.
Follow Young, Hot & Divorced for honest conversations about dating, relationships, divorce, motherhood, starting over, and everything I’m learning along the way.

Divorce 5 Years Later, A Big Faith Update & Why I’m Done Having Kids
Five years after my divorce, I’m getting honest about what starting over has actually looked like — the parts that got easier, the parts that didn’t, and how I feel about it all now. Plus, a big update on my faith journey and why I’m not moving forward with converting right now, deciding I’m done having more kids, relationship updates, and a new project I’ve been quietly working on.
It’s a very real life update about divorce, motherhood, faith, love, and realizing you’re allowed to change your mind about what your next chapter is supposed to look like.

Rebuilding My Finances as a Single Mom: Debt, Budgeting & Starting Over
Rebuilding your finances is hard. Rebuilding them while raising two children as a single mom is an entirely different challenge.
In this episode, Tori gets honest about financial dependence, debt, budgeting mistakes, rebuilding her credit, selling her car, and learning how to create a more stable future from the ground up.
She shares the real steps she is taking right now, including using ChatGPT to organize her budget, trying cash stuffing, creating savings envelopes, paying down debt, learning to invest, and building multiple income streams through podcasting, brand partnerships, affiliate marketing, and real estate.
This is not a story from someone who has everything figured out. It is an honest look at starting over, learning as you go, and realizing that small, consistent decisions can completely change your future.
This episode is for single moms, divorced women, and anyone trying to regain control of their finances while carrying the weight of everyday life.
