Rom-Com Rescue
A Couples Therapist and a Dating Coach Walk Into a Podcast…
Love rom-coms but find yourself screaming at the screen? So do we. Rom-Com Rescue is the podcast where couples therapist Dr. Isabelle Morley and healthy dating educator Kira Sabin break down your favorite romantic comedies—the good, the bad, and the wildly unrealistic.
We’re here to celebrate the heart-fluttering moments, call out red and green flags, and offer real-life dating and relationship wisdom along the way.
Is that grand gesture actually love-bombing? Is the broody love interest just emotionally unavailable? Should they really have ended up together—or was the best friend the right choice all along? We’re unpacking it all with humor, heart, and a little tough love....because we believe you can create your own happily ever after.
Rom-Com Rescue
The Wrong Paris: Fake Fairytales, Cowboy Abs & the Truth about Reality Dating Shows (with Nick Thompson from Love Is Blind)
Any takeaways from this episode?
Down-on-their-luck artists, reality dating chaos, mean girls and sabotage—The Wrong Paris has all the ingredients of a romcom…and almost none of the actual love lessons.
This week on RomCom Rescue, Kira and Dr. Isabelle break down the 2025 Netflix romcom The Wrong Paris starring Miranda Cosgrove and Pierson Fodé—and they’re joined by Nick Thompson from Love Is Blind Season 2 and president of the UCAN Foundation (Unscripted Cast Advocacy Network).
Together, they pull back the curtain on reality dating shows and ask:
Are these setups actually about love—or just entertainment dressed up as a fairytale?
In this episode, we get into:
- The Wrong Paris recap
- Reality dating shows vs real love
- Manipulation, archetypes & editing
- Women competing vs actually connecting
- Paradox of choice & dating apps
- Avoidance, independence & self-protection
- Will Dawn & Trey make it?
- Nick’s reality check on “success stories”
