Whether your breakup was two days or two decades ago, you find yourself looking back and wondering how things could’ve turned out had you acted differently. Had you known then what you know today. Pretty soon, you’re living in the timeline where you didn’t “ruin everything” with that person . . . ultimately punishing yourself over a parallel universe you’ve created in your mind.

In this episode, my brother Stephen and I answer the question, “Is it possible to ‘blow it’ with the right person?” and share how you can turn self-loathing into a better relationship with yourself (and your future partner).

If dating apps have left you feeling drained, you’re not alone. Nearly half of U.S. adults say dating is harder now than it was a decade ago, and for good reason: ghosting, endless swiping, and dead-end chats can make anyone feel cynical.

Even though it may not feel like it, more than half of us still meet our future partner the old-fashioned way: crossing paths in everyday life. In this week’s episode, you’ll learn five easy and actionable ways to meet people offline. Whether you want to expand your world, get some effective conversation-starters, or simply exchange contact information without it feeling awkward, these simple shifts could change everything . . . just like they did for me.

What do you do when someone is great on dates but goes radio silent in between? With only three dates in, it’s easy to feel confused and crave clarity, but early dating rarely provides the closure we seek. Instead of getting stuck in overanalyzing their behavior, we explore how to take control of the dynamic by modeling the kind of communication and connection you want to see.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about whether to reach out or how to navigate inconsistent communication, this episode will give you the tools to approach dating with confidence and intention.

From the rise of financial independence to the rejection of outdated gender roles, we discuss why many women are redefining what fulfillment looks like and why some men are struggling to adapt to these changes. 

In this week’s episode, we dive into a topic that’s sparked heated debates and fascinating insights in our community: Why are so many women choosing to stay single? With stats predicting that 50% of women will be single by 2035, we explore the cultural shifts, personal priorities, and evolving dynamics that are reshaping relationships today.

Whether you’re single, dating, or in a relationship, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what it takes to build meaningful connections in a rapidly changing world.

What if the reason your relationships haven’t worked isn’t about who you’ve been with, but about what’s been missing? In this episode with journalist and author Liz Moody, we explore why finding someone who truly understands you is far more important than a checklist of traits.

We also talk about why we’re drawn to the wrong people, and how to break free from those patterns. If you’ve ever felt stuck in love or wondered why you keep ending up in the same painful cycles, this is the episode for you.

Do you feel stuck on an ex . . . convinced you’ll never feel that way again? In this week’s episode, Matthew, Audrey, and Stephen reframe “I’ll never be as happy” as an anxious thought, not a prophecy.

They unpack nostalgia traps, why we over-glorify past relationships, and how to reclaim your power. You’ll hear practical ways to create new meaning (even at old places), how to stop social media stalking, and change the story you’re telling yourself.

Plus, a Love Life Line caller asks whether it’s OK to date while ending a long marriage, and the Love Life podcast crew plays a rapid-fire game looking at post-breakup behaviors that help or hurt healing.

Why does it feel so hard to find someone who will actually commit? These days, it’s easy to get caught up in someone’s curated image: their Instagram-perfect life, charm, and seemingly deep qualities. But having great qualities doesn’t automatically make someone a great partner. And that’s where we often get stuck.

In this week’s episode, I break down why we idealize people based on what they project, and how it distracts us from seeing what really matters. I also share the subtle signs to look for in someone who’s truly capable of long-term commitment.

We all know we won’t connect with everyone we meet . . . but one of the most frustrating situations we can find ourselves in is one where we feel an initial spark and a connection, but things just don’t seem to progress. And in the end, they end up fading as we feel a lack of momentum.

Rather than giving in to our desire to double down on communication, there’s a simple shift we can make on a date that allows unique attraction to grow. And it’s the kind of thing that will leave them thinking of us long after the date has ended . . .

If you’d like to learn what this ingredient is and how you can add it to your next date, don’t miss this week’s brand-new video.
