In this episode we dive into the age-old debate: why do “bad boys” seem to get all the attention while “nice guys” get friend-zoned?

We explore what women are actually attracted to, the psychology behind each persona, and whether the whole nice guy vs. bad boy thing is just one big myth.

We also share personal stories, call out common dating patterns, and break down what it really means to be a high-quality, emotionally available man in today’s world.

Whether you’re a self-proclaimed nice guy, recovering bad boy, or just curious about the dynamics of modern attraction — this one’s for you.

Do you feel like you often feel unsettled in your relationship and that you need a lot of reassurance that your partner wants you and loves you? Do you struggle to trust and feel safe? If so, this episode is for you.

This week on The Hot Johnson we're talking about attachment theory. If you're not familiar with this theory, it essentially talks about how our relationships with our childhood caregivers tremendously imprint the way we show up in our adulthood relationships. It is often said that many people are either running toward or away from love & this theory kinda touches on why that is.

In this episode we briefly touch on the 3 of the main attachment styles: anxious, avoidant and secure, and offer some tips on how to move from feeling anxious in our relationships, to feeling more confident and secure.We share our personal experience in how we have made this shift as both of us grew up more anxiously attached and today feel quite secure.

We always love to hear from you guys & SO appreciate your feedback!Dont hesitate to reach out on instagram  ⁨@thehotjohnson⁩  Much love, Bron & Denai xo

How much fun are you actually having in your life? And how do you know when you’ve got a healthy balance between work and play?

In this episode of The Hot Johnson, Denai and I get real about our own experiences—times when we’ve hustled too hard, moments when we’ve let loose, and how we’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) to find that sweet spot between getting sh*t done and actually enjoying life.

We’ll also share some simple ways to figure out what balance looks like for you and how to bring more fun into your daily routine—without feeling guilty about it.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What a healthy work/play balance actually looks like

• How to recognize when you’re out of alignment

• Practical tips for making space for fun (without losing momentum)

• Why rest isn’t laziness—and why play is just as important as productivity

If you’ve ever felt like you’re either grinding too hard or not doing enough, this one’s for you.

Today on The Hot Johnson we're talking about grief & loss.

Grief can show up in many forms. Often we associate grief with death and the loss of a loved one, but grief can be felt anytime we go through major loss, whether that be the loss of a relationship, friendship, a job we loved, moving to a new city, the list goes on.

Our society doesn't really teach us much about grief, how to heal through it and how to be with our loved ones when they are going through grief. Often we dont know what to do or say when someone we know is going through a major loss, or we may say the wrong thing.

We need to learn to not only talk about grief, but how to move through it as grief is inevitable for us to experience at some point in our lives. In today's episode we offer a conversation that will hopefully bring some more tools and awareness in how to heal your own grief as well as how to best support others when they are going through it.

Much love to you friends, as always we love to hear your feedback. Please feel free to reach out in the comments or on instagram  ⁨@thehotjohnson⁩

In today's episode of The Hot Johnson, we have Chelsey Gallou joining us. Chelsey is a counsellor in training, a mother of 3 and a military wife.

Today Chelsey shares a very vulnerable story of when she was 18 years old and found herself in an abusive relationship with a much older man. Through manipulation, gaslighting and so much more, Chelsey found herself in a very dangerous situation, that ultimately led to her contemplating ending her own life.

Chelsey is a brave, strong woman, and we hope that her story not only brings more awareness, but also encourages others in a similar situation to reach out for help.

You can reach out to Chelsey on instagram @_chelsey_g

And as always, we'd love to hear from you over on instagram  @thehotjohnson 

Much love friends xoxo

But this isn’t an episode about telling anyone what to do — it’s about having an open, honest conversation that encourages self-reflection.Whatever your relationship with alcohol (or any other vice), this episode will challenge you to check in with yourself in a real, compassionate way. No judgment. Just a raw, sibling deep dive into growth, choices, and the things we use to cope.🔥 Follow us on Instagram @thehotjohnson for more of our fun, loving, and 100% authentic energy.

The holidays can be a joyful time—but they can also bring emotional triggers, especially when family dynamics or stressful situations come into play. In this episode of The Hot Johnson, we dive deep into how to handle holiday triggers with grace, emotional intelligence, and healthy communication.

We break down a powerful four-step formula inspired by non-violent communication to help you address triggers constructively:

1. Observation – Identify and communicate what happened without blame or judgment.

2. Feelings – Express how the situation made you feel in a grounded, non-reactive way.

3. Needs – Clarify what you truly need or want in the moment.

4. Requests – Ask the other person if they’re open to making a specific change.

This episode teaches you how to use “I statements” to diffuse tension, hold people accountable with compassion, and create healthier, more meaningful connections—not just during the holidays but in everyday life. Whether you’re navigating family gatherings or workplace conflicts, these tools will help you stay calm, present, and empowered.

We explore how the spiritual “high vibe” world often comes with a dose of woo-woo, unrealistic expectations, and the pressure to be “high vibes only.” Instead, we focus on a grounded, cognitive approach to elevating your energy, while highlighting how the four foundations of human health play a crucial role in the process.

Pain sucks. But could you come to appreciate your pain if you knew it was part of your bigger mission in life, part of your purpose?

If you're struggling or going through any kind of emotional pain right now, we hope this episode is helpful.

This week on The Hot Johnson we try to look at your pain from another perspective. Can we actually see purpose in our pain? Can we even maybe come to appreciate these dark periods we experience?

We discuss the concept of the "Hero's Journey," how to see yourself within this journey and tune into your inner calling. Both Denai & Bron also share their own hero's journey.
