Here is our first try at putting AI to the test.

With more people turning to AI for therapy, reflection, and relationship advice, we wanted to explore something important:What is genuinely useful about these tools — and where do they fall short?

In this segment we asked ChatGPT a real relationship question.

First, we let Graham answer, then we read ChatGPT’s answer. Then Graham breaks it all down down.

What we discovered:The answers were thoughtful. Structured. Insightful. But there’s a difference between knowing what to do… and being prepared for what it will actually feel like to do it.

AI can help you name patterns.It can offer frameworks. It can suggest next steps. But it doesn’t have a nervous system. It doesn’t know the emotional weight of rewiring attachment. It can’t sit with you in the discomfort of choosing differently.

When you meet someone new and feel a “yellow flag,” how do you know if it’s intuition — or an old wound speaking?In this episode, Joey Hamilton and Graham Betchart explore how past relationships shape our nervous systems and why emotional risk can feel like physical danger.Your brain can’t always tell the difference between being chased by a lion and doing something brave in love — sending a vulnerable text, setting a boundary, choosing someone new. To your body, it can all feel like threat.We talk about:Patterns vs. true red flagsWhy rushing blocks clarityListening to your body without letting fear leadTrusting your inner voiceGiving yourself time to decideForging new neural pathways — even when it feels uncomfortableGrowth doesn’t feel safe at first. Creating new pathways in your nervous system will feel unfamiliar.And sometimes things won’t work out.But learning how to fall — and how to get back up — is what builds real confidence. When you know you can survive disappointment, you’re brave enough to try again.Self-trust isn’t built by avoiding pain.It’s built by moving through it.If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re being intuitive or reactive, this conversation is for you.

What if the voice in your head isn’t you… but a story you learned to believe?

In Episode 2 of Making Space for Love, “The Stories We Tell Ourselves,” we explore the inner narratives that quietly shape our identity, our relationships, and our sense of worth. Stories like “I’m not good enough,” “I’m not lovable,” “I have to earn love,” or “Something is wrong with me.”

These stories often didn’t start with us—but over time, we absorb them, protect them, and even build our identity around them. Letting go can feel scary, because it can feel like losing a part of who we are.

In this conversation, we unpack:

• Where these inner stories come from

• Why it’s so hard to release them once they feel like identity

• How to gently begin separating who you are from what you believe

• Why changing the story within is essential to creating healthier, more loving relationships

The big takeaway from this episode:
If you can see the story, then you are not the story.
That awareness is the first step toward freedom—and toward making real space for love within yourself, which naturally attracts the love you want from others.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and begin choosing a story that’s rooted in truth, compassion, and self-worth.

🎧 Listen, reflect, and begin again.

What if the first place to find love… is inside yourself?

In Episode 1 of Making Space for Love, Welcome to the Garage, hosts Graham Betchart and Joey Hamilton invite you into the space where this journey begins—literally and metaphorically. The garage becomes a place of honesty, reflection, and unfiltered conversation as they begin exploring what it truly means to make space for love.

This episode sets the foundation for the series by turning inward. Graham and Joey talk about vulnerability, the parts of ourselves we’ve hidden or protected, and the walls we build to survive—often without realizing how much they cost us in connection.

Through a deeply personal conversation, Graham guides Joey toward a moment of breakthrough and forgiveness, offering a real-time example of what it looks like to soften, listen inward, and begin dismantling the inner barriers that keep love at a distance.

This isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about meeting yourself.
With honesty.
With compassion.
With courage.

If you’ve ever struggled to open up, trust again, or love the parts of yourself you’ve kept secret, this episode is an invitation to begin.

Welcome to the garage.
This is where the work starts.
