Dating fatigue is real. Given the option, I think most people would choose to bypass the process entirely and skip directly to being in a meaningful relationship. But since science isn’t quite there yet, how can you manage your energy so the dating process—the part you need in order to FIND that relationship—doesn’t burn you out before you even GET to the good stuff?

In today’s Rewind episode, I share 5 tips that will help you find an energy-replenishing relationship rather than an energy-depleting one.

You’ll learn how to:

• Ease into getting to know someone rather than pinning all your hopes and dreams on them.

• Communicate from a place of strength rather than insecurity.

• Match your investment and energy to the stage of the relationship you’re actually in.

Why do we keep crashing into the same walls in love? In this conversation with Chris Williamson on his Modern Wisdom podcast, we explore the patterns that keep us stuck—whether it’s chasing unavailable partners, mistaking chaos for passion, or repeating cycles that leave us unfulfilled. We also talk about why these behaviors feel so familiar and how they’re often rooted in our past experiences rather than our actual desires. But here’s the good news: Breaking free is possible. And in this episode, you’ll learn how to rewire your instincts and create a new reality where peace and connection replace anxiety and uncertainty.

Why do we chase the wrong people and even push away the relationships we say we want? In this week’s episode, I speak with entrepreneur and bestselling author Lewis Howes, and we unpack the surprising ways we can sabotage love without even realizing it.

From being attracted to what feels exciting but unavailable to letting old wounds dictate our instincts, we explore why the “good ones” can feel less appealing, and how we can retrain our brains. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re drawn to the wrong people or why healthy love feels strange, this conversation is going to hit home.

When we first date someone, we can’t keep our hands off them. All we want to do is take them home and spend all night in bed together. But what about when the infatuation stage is over? Can you still keep up the chase even though you’re both in a stable and comfortable relationship?

In this week’s episode of Love Life, I explain the psychology behind why so many couples get lazy and lose attraction over time, and show how you can avoid that by taking on a few key behaviors to boost the DESIRE in your relationship so that you and your partner always feel irresistibly attracted to each another.
