Sex, Love & Money with Rebecca Antonucci

You know that feeling when something goes wrong and your reaction is so extreme it scares even you?

When you can't sleep, can't switch off, and every tool in your kit isn't touching it, and a voice in your head is telling you it's all their fault?

It's not. And this episode is going to show you exactly why.

Mitchell Vickridge is a clinical facilitator and one of the most grounding people I've ever sat across from. He specialises in pride and shame: two states most of us are oscillating between all day long without even knowing it. He spent three and a half hours helping me go from a state of extreme anger when my Austin podcast set did not go to plan, to actually understanding why what happened, happened. This episode is a window into that process.

We get into the hidden order underneath your hardest moments, why the people who trigger you the most are actually your greatest teachers, and the one question that will dissolve almost any resentment you're holding right now. We also talk about why you keep chasing the same fantasy in love and money, and why the universe keeps withholding exactly what you want most.

If you've been stuck in a loop you can't get out of, this is the episode that might finally break it.

What we cover

• Why your most extreme reactions are always about you, not them

• The hidden order: how to find the gift in what hurt you most

• Why you're attracted to who you're attracted to (and what it's really about)

• How past pleasure is quietly sabotaging your love life right now

• Why the universe keeps withholding exactly what you want

You've had great sex that left you feeling nothing.

You've had a man who did everything right, and woken up emptier than before. You told yourself it was him. You moved on. You tried again. Same result, different man.

It was never him. And it was never the act of intimacy. It was the absence of everything that needed to come first.

Vanilla sex has nothing to do with what's happening in the bedroom. It's sex without roots. Sex without time. Sex without knowing someone, and being known back. And if you've been cycling through men wondering why nothing ever feels like enough, this episode is going to name something you've felt but never quite had the words for.

I recorded this 48 hours after a real epiphany hit me mid-dating: live, unfiltered, and straight from Bali. I tell you the full story of the man I've been dating, the padel court where it started, the wine cellar date, the comedy show, the cup of tea that wasn't just a cup of tea, and the moment I caught myself about to do the exact thing I tell every woman not to do.

Because the truth is: if you're using sex to try to feel something, no man will ever be able to give you what you're actually looking for. Time and time again you will be setting you and him up to fail. And the sooner we name that, the sooner everything changes.

Raw, real, and recorded live in Bali two days after the epiphany hit. You're welcome.

WHAT WE GET INTO

— What vanilla sex actually is, and why it has nothing to do with the bedroom

— Why the f*ck and chuck cycle is grief in disguise, not cruelty

— The Healthy Man Starter Pack: how to tell if it's real or just an act

— Why making him wait isn't about games, it's about you finding out the truth

— The Bali dating story unfolding right now, live revelations and completely unfiltered

He was a little boy. You were the woman who paid for it. 

You didn't fall in love with a man. You fell in love with a seven year old who hadn't grieved his childhood yet.

And until he does,  he will sabotage every relationship that gets close enough to matter.

Ryan Moresby-White works with hundreds of men, fathers, CEOs, men in their 70s, helping them do the one thing society never taught them: grieve. He's built a multi-million dollar company doing it. And he's one of the most embodied, present men I've ever sat across from.

In this episode, Ryan gets completely honest about the relationship he lost because of his own unresolved wounds, the four hours he spent on a bathroom floor in Bali vomiting after she left, and the nine months on the grass on the Sunshine Coast that changed everything.

This is the episode I made for the women in my world who are tired of carrying men who don't know they're still boys. And it's for the men who are ready to find out.

What we get into:

• Why most men are emotionally operating as 7-year-olds, and what to do about it

• The real reason men sabotage relationships (it has nothing to do with you)

• The post-breakup level up, and the two very different paths it leads to

• How to support a man on his healing journey without becoming his mother

• What a truly safe man looks like, and why he can feel so confronting

Timestamps:

00:00: Most men are little boys walking around in adult bodies

01:15: What a rite of passage actually is, and why men don't get one anymore

06:12: Why women become the unintentional initiators for uninitiated men

11:03: The tree ring analogy: you're not dating one man, you're dating all of him

26:47: Ryan ends a year-long relationship, and shares why live on air

37:24: The bathroom floor in Bali: 4 hours of vomiting after she left

43:08: The post-breakup level up, two paths, two very different men

57:51: What women can do to actually support a man on his healing journey

You felt the spark. The chemistry was undeniable. You thought that feeling meant it was real.

What if it didn't?

Adam Roa is a poet, coach, and one of the most honest voices on love alive right now. His poem "You Are Who You've Been Looking For" got 40 million views in 48 hours, and instead of feeling celebrated, he fell into one of the darkest periods of his life. He's spent decades studying love from every angle: scientific, spiritual, poetic, personal. And what he's found might change the way you read your own relationships.

This conversation goes deep. We talk about why fireworks are often trauma bonds in disguise, what mature love actually feels like in your body, and why the men in your life aren't moving on pain-free, they're just moving on differently. Adam also opens up about his new book Crazy Love, the journal entries he never planned to share, and the night he slept with someone he didn't want to, and wept about it the next morning.

This is one of those episodes you'll come back to.

What we get into:

• Why the chemistry you're chasing might be a trauma bond, not love

• Fireworks vs. mature love, and how to reset your body's barometer

• What surrendering to love actually looks like (hint: it keeps hurting)

• How to support your man when he goes quiet, without making it about you

• Why your ex moving on fast doesn't mean he didn't care

Timestamps:

00:00: Fireworks aren't the indicator of a healthy relationship

01:15: What surrendering to love really means, and why it never stops

04:23: Why most fireworks are actually trauma bonds in disguise

09:01: The ten year relationship that taught him nothing, until it ended

10:18: Suicidal ideation, depression, and what finally turned the page

14:26: Self-love isn't a yes or no, it's a relationship with yourself

23:10: Why nothing grows without resistance (including you)

55:32: How to support a man who goes quiet without making it about you

You're doing the work. You're staying in the game. And still, things aren't going the way you planned. The client didn't sign. The relationship isn't here yet. The results aren't coming fast enough. And a voice in your head keeps asking: should I quit?

This episode is for you.

2026 was meant to be the year I win. My podcast team broke up with me. My dream assistant resigned in a day. I got detained by US customs for three hours and told to leave the country. I lost every competitive paddle match I entered. And then Austin happened.

And I recorded this episode sweating in a studio with no air conditioning, with a voice in my head telling me to stop.

I kept going anyway. That's the whole point.

This is a raw solo episode about what it actually looks like to be three quarters of the way through your life marathon — when you're tired, things keep going wrong, and you're genuinely asking yourself whether you should quit. I share every humbling thing 2026 has handed me so far, and why I now believe every single one of it was a set up.

If you're in the messy middle of something right now, this one's for you.

What we cover:

• Why there are no shortcuts to any place worth going

• Everything that went "wrong" in 2026 — and what it was actually doing

• The difference between a roadblock and an initiation

• Eating humble pie: going backwards to go forwards

• Why your big life is waiting for you to become the woman who can hold it

TIMESTAMPS

00:00: There are no shortcuts to any place worth going

01:15: Why I declared 2026 my year of winning — and what happened instead

08:45: Life is a marathon, not a sprint — and you can't cheat the distance

13:26: Everything that went wrong this year (the full list)

24:08: What happens at the 35km mark — and why quitting isn't actually an option

38:23: The fantasy you think got robbed from you — and what's actually true

45:24: Initiation, not a roadblock: why hard things are happening on your path

57:41: Eating humble pie — going backwards to eventually go forward

Most men are building the dream life for someone who no longer exists.

Chris Griffin has dragged suitcases through Arizona with no guests, walked away from a woman he genuinely loved, and stood in a boardroom at 18 telling investors he'd lost all their money.

He's also one of the most alive people you'll ever listen to.

This conversation goes to places most podcasts are too polished to go.

We talk about what it actually means to level up as a man — not the "get jacked, make money" surface answer, but the internal identity shift that has to happen first. Chris reads a poem he wrote while falling in love with someone he knew, deep down, he had to let go. We get into Christian women, faith, loneliness, the trap of "just good enough," and why the most dangerous place a man can live is in the middle.

This one will make you feel something. That's the point.

Together We Cover:

• Why you can feel lonely in a room full of people

• The “just good enough” trap that kills men slowly

• Walking away from a woman he loved, and why

• Faith, God, and the “Jesus Glow” he cant ignore

• The poem he wrote about love, and read out loud here

Key Time Stamps: 

00:00: Why you can feel lonely surrounded by people

00:57: What levelling up as a man actually means

04:25: The trap of chasing more — when the goalposts never stop moving

07:05: When success becomes your identity and gets stripped away

13:06: Feeling the sadness vs dwelling in it

21:32: Christian women, the 'Jesus glow,' and what he's really attracted to

29:50: 'Just good enough' will chew you up and spit you out

59:01: The poem: 'I met myself at a bar down the road today...'

You know what you want. Partnership. Commitment. A real love. So why does life keep sending you the almost-man?

This episode is about the temptation that appears specifically when you're getting serious about your standards, when you're so close to calling in exactly who and what you've been holding space for. The younger guy. The friend who wants everything but the label. The ex who resurfaces. The hot one night stand…. The forbidden fruit.

In this solo episode we unpack why the fruit appears, why it's meant to taste good, and why your most loving God, universe, whatever you believe in,  will never, ever let it work out.

TIMESTAMPS:

• 00:00 — The moment you get clear on what you want, the temptation appears

• 11:35 — Why ghosting, being blocked and rejection is actually God protecting you

• 18:17 — How to know when your season of singledom is actually over

• 25:51 — Stop asking regular people how to live an irregular life

• 42:55 — Why flowers and car doors don't make him a good man

• 50:11 — The three dating rules that slow the pace and expose his real intentions

• 1:02:42 — Why and how to say no to the Forbidden Fruit, and why a part of you might not want to.

Why do some men avoid commitment?
Why do some men sleep with a woman but never choose her?
Why do so many women feel like they keep attracting the same type of man?

And what actually makes a man grow up?

In this conversation with Preston Smiles and Adrian Grenier, we talk about Peter Pan syndrome in men, commitment, modern dating, casual sex culture, masculinity, devotion, and the uncomfortable truths about relationships that most people are too afraid to say out loud.

We talk about the difference between the man who wants attention, the man who wants sex, and the man who wants a wife, and why those are often three very different men.

This episode is about masculinity, maturity, commitment, integrity, sex, devotion, and why modern dating has so many people confused, hurt, and disconnected.

If you have ever wondered:

• Why won’t he commit?

• Why did he lose interest after sex?

• Why do I keep attracting emotionally unavailable men?

• Do men actually know early if a woman is “wife material”?

• Can a woman change a man?

• What makes a man finally grow up?

This episode answers those questions.

What if the reason your love life, your money, and your sense of fulfilment haven’t changed… is because your energy hasn’t changed?

In this episode, I sit down with Danny Morel for a conversation that goes far beyond dating advice or surface-level healing. 

We explore what it really means to attract love, why so many people struggle to receive what they want, and how the patterns we formed as children quietly shape the relationships we choose as adults.

Danny shares his perspective on the heart, the feminine, nervous system patterns, spiritual connection, and the deep inner work required to move from fear, control and attachment… into trust, truth and love.

We talk about the women who feel like they can hear love, but not let it land.

The women who keep choosing men they feel safer being “better than.”
The women who say they want healthy love, but feel activated the moment it actually appears.

Because real love does not begin when you finally find the right person.
It begins when you stop outsourcing your wholeness and come back home to yourself.

This conversation is about love, polarity, feminine energy, childhood wounds, truth-telling, intimacy, attraction, and the healing required to receive the life you say you want.

Because the partner is never the answer.

The answer is who you become when you no longer need one.

00:00 Why your life never changes until your energy changes
06:03 The nervous system block that stops people from receiving love
12:48 Victim energy, creator energy, and the identity behind your relationships

24:31 Why you attract a partner when you no longer need one
33:27 Why healthy love can feel activating instead of safe
40:13 The pattern of choosing men you feel “better than”
54:34 Why truth, not performance, is the foundation of real love
