As a high-achieving woman, you have choices. You can choose to give a chance to a guy who is not your type, or stick with your type. You can choose to make his behavior a dealbreaker, or learn to accept him in full. In this episode, my friend Carol Allen and I consider your choices and draw the same conclusion: all married couples compromise your way into happiness, and what they tolerate from their partners is minor compared to what they gain. We also discuss what it’s like to be a childless woman in a world of parents, and celebrate another Love U engagement. You don’t want to miss this!

Have you ever been stuck in a situation where you’re giving more than you’re getting? In this episode of the Love U Podcast, we dive into the tough but necessary conversation about breaking up with someone who isn’t ready to commit. I’ll guide you on how to recognize when a relationship isn’t progressing and why it’s important to set boundaries to avoid wasting time with someone who isn’t ready for a future with you. If you want the confidence to let go of a relationship that’s not escalating and find the strength to move on to something better – this one’s for you!

It’s not just a hit Netflix series; it’s a direct calling for me to respond as a Jewish man married to a Catholic woman in a healthy interfaith relationship. In this episode, I talk about what’s bad, what’s good, and what Love U principles Kristen Bell’s character violates in her attempts to rid herself of a kind, consistent boyfriend. If you’ve watched the show, it’s worth the listen.

We started off discussing the topic of envy – how rich people often envy happy couples and happy couples envy those with greater wealth. We moved to why I envied Matthew Hussey and he also envied me. (Seriously!) Finally, we went to a dangerous place – why political differences are so divisive and why they don’t have to necessarily end your relationship. Carol and I don’t agree politically but we do agree that people are more than their beliefs and opinions. Anyway, this Love U Podcast is juicy and I predict you’ll have something to say about it.

In this episode of the Love U Podcast, I discuss three common ways women can be afraid of commitment. While it’s often assumed that men are the ones afraid to commit, Evan reveals how many women, even those seeking a serious relationship, can experience fears around commitment, avoiding key conversations, and feeling uncertain about what they truly want. Learn how to identify these behaviors, establish healthy boundaries, and get clear about your relationship goals so you can find the love you deserve.

I brought back my friend, Carol, to talk about one of the most popular dating videos on YouTube: How to Keep a Man Interested in You. Yes, we have a list of 10 reasons, but that’s not where we spend most of our time. Because the big question is not about how to keep a man from a place of insecurity, but rather, how to be the kind of partner that makes men feel accepted and appreciated. In addition, we talk about a recent New York Times article about the value of friendship even when you are in a committed partnership. If you ever feel insecure around men or lonely in relationships, this is the episode for you.

Tired of superficial dating advice that doesn’t really work? In this episode, I’ll show you how to transform your love life by making five small changes to your dating habits. These tips will help you date smarter, broaden your options, and create more meaningful connections—without changing who you are or what you want. When you shift your online dating approach – just a litttle – you can finally see the results you deserve!

I know, as a guy, there’s a limited amount I can weigh in on a topic that affects every woman: menopause. But since my listeners are generally in midlife, it felt like a smart idea to bring in one of my best friends, Carol Allen, for a conversation about how menopause affects your body and your relationships. I share stuff from my own marriage, as does Carol, and since she’s been married ten years longer, it’s worth your while to listen up. In addition, we talk about the rulebook in your head and how we can rationalize all of our own behaviors. I enjoyed having a co-host. Hope you enjoy it, too!

When you’ve had nothing but rejection, failure and disappointment in your relationships, it’s easy to second-guess yourself. The problem is that, when a good man comes along and is doing 95% of what you want, you obsess about the 5%. While your questions may be reasonable, if you find that your anxiety is driving your actions, it helps to learn to trust – both men and yourself. I hope this episode helps get you to a place where you’re not overthinking and you can actually enjoy falling in love.

In this Love U Podcast episode, I dive into the concept of “dating up”—the idea that women should aim to date or marry someone with more wealth, power, or status. This episode was inspired by a thought-provoking conversation with a client who challenged me, claiming that women need to hear the cold, hard truth about their unrealistic dating expectations. If you’re a woman who’s tired of not finding men on your level, this episode is a must-listen.
