When you’re in love and someone decides to end the relationship, it’s natural for your brain to go into panic mode.

Now, I’m not going to tell you whether or not you should give it another try with your ex. There are many factors to consider, which we can talk about another time.

But what I do know is that if you want a real chance of getting this person back in your life, you must understand this important truth before you take the next step...

There’s a lot of talk in modern dating of red flags, but what if you just disagree early on, and don’t know if this is a sign of doom ahead, or simply a chance to communicate and accept your differences? Maybe you have different ideas about where you want to live or the lifestyle you want . . . or your personalities just occasionally clash.

In this episode, Matthew, Stephen, and Audrey talk about signs of incompatibility, how to have better communication in arguments, and deciding what really matters when pursuing a long-term relationship.

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.
