Do you feel like you keep getting stuck in the same old arguments?

What drains our aliveness more than work?

And what if the thing killing your sex life had nothing to do with sex?

Today Alyson and I reveal one of — if not the — biggest killers of aliveness, intimacy, and trust. It’s the drama triangle. We explore what it truly is, how it keeps us from finding solutions, and what you can do to pull yourself from its trap.

Do you talk to AI like it’s your therapist?

Is it wrong to prefer interactions with a machine over a human?

And how is our pursuit of comfort killing our sense of confidence and meaning?

Why do some guys crave women who aren’t good for them?

Is the “nice girl” always boring — and the “bad girl” more fun?

And do we really need to put on an act just to make a relationship work?

Today, Alyson and I talk about something a lot of people wrestle with — feeling torn between who we’re attracted to and who’s actually a better fit. We explore why we often contort ourselves to be accepted, how that shapes attraction, and what to do if feel like you have to choose between chemistry and connection.
