Love is Like a Plant

Love is Like a Plant is a thoughtful, compact podcast about relationships, dating, sex, and heartbreak hosted by Ellen Huerta and Sarah May B. Ellen founded Mend, an app designed to help people get through breakups, and Sarah May B is the podcaster behind Help Me Be Me and The Break-Up Album. Together they bring complementary perspectives -- Ellen leans more analytical and research-informed while Sarah May B brings a warm, personal storytelling approach. The show's central question is simple but effective: if love is like a plant, how do we help it grow? Episodes tend to be listener-driven, with the hosts answering real questions about insecurities in relationships, setting boundaries, dealing with jealousy, navigating red flags, and working through breakup grief. The format is conversational and intimate, almost like overhearing a thoughtful discussion between two friends who happen to know a lot about relationship psychology. With around nine episodes available, this is a smaller catalog, which actually works in its favor. There is no filler here. Each episode feels intentional and focused. The hosts are genuinely good at validating messy emotions without being preachy about it. One minor drawback is that the limited episode count means you will burn through the entire library quickly. But for anyone dealing with relationship confusion or post-breakup fog, these episodes are worth revisiting. The show is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and SoundCloud.
