Starting is easy. Finishing? That’s the real challenge.

If you’ve ever fallen off your goals, this episode is for you.

We’re joined by Chris Bailey to unpack why we lose momentum, how procrastination actually works, and what really drives follow-through. We get into the science of intention, why willpower isn’t enough, how our goals lose meaning over time, and the small daily habits that can actually keep you on track.

In this episode, we break down:
- Why we lose motivation after the initial excitement fades

- The real reason procrastination happens (and how to fix it)

- Why willpower isn’t enough to reach your goals

- How to be more intentional in your daily life (not just productive)

- The “Rule of 3” method to actually follow through

Because it’s not about doing more — it’s about being intentional.

Some love stories don’t end — they pause.In this episode of Miss Matched, I sit down with award-winning documentary filmmaker and author Shelley Saywell, whose real-life love story feels almost too cinematic to be true. She fell in love as a teenager overseas… lost him to timing and life… and then, nearly 30 years later, received an email that changed everything.What followed wasn’t a fairy tale — it was a second chance rooted in emotional courage, honesty, forgiveness, and choice. Shelley shares what it means to fall in love twice with the same person, to trust your heart again after decades apart, and to live fully in the present — even when love comes with loss.This conversation is for anyone who has ever asked “what if?” — and wondered whether unfinished love ever really ends.🎧 Listen now for a powerful reminder that love doesn’t always move in straight lines… sometimes it circles back when you least expect it.

Nicole goes solo on Miss Matched to address the elephant in the room: her recent breakup. In this raw, honest episode, she shares how a “foolproof” setup turned into a two-year relationship built on big promises… and little follow-through. From long-distance compromises (Toronto vs. Hamilton), to engagement talk without action, to the painful realization that emotional capacity can’t be taught—Nicole breaks down what really happened, what she ignored, and why she chose herself.

This isn’t a diss track. It’s a reflection—full of lessons for anyone dating in their 30s, navigating heartbreak, questioning “am I asking for too much?”, or realizing they’ve been loving someone’s potential more than their patterns.

Nicole also opens up about rebuilding after the breakup. If you’re healing from a breakup, dating intentionally, or trying to stop repeating the same relationship lesson—this episode is for you.
