Inspired by Nobody Wants This, in this episode, we deep dive into the eye of The Ick—that sudden, often irrational feeling of repulsion in dating.
In the show, Noah helps Joanne through her “ick” moment and we explore why we get the ick and how it may have more to do with fear of intimacy than actual flaws.

We’ll break down 3 key reasons why the ick shows up in your relationships:
1. Avoiding Deeper Connection: Is the ick just a defense mechanism to avoid vulnerability?
2. Self-Sabotage: How unresolved emotional baggage leads us to project and push people away.
3. Fading Idealisation: Why the honeymoon phase fades and how to embrace the reality of imperfect love.
Plus, practical tips on how to stop letting the ick get in the way of meaningful relationships. It’s time to embrace imperfection, communicate openly, and stop sabotaging yourself!
If you’ve ever wondered why something so small can turn you off, this episode will give you the insight to move past it. Watch now, and let’s cancel the ick together.
