31. Perfect 10: Why Your Perfectionism is Killing Your Love Life
Have you ever wondered why you still haven’t found the right person to marry? Why your relationships end in inevitable incompatibility, and your partner’s inability to truly understand you? Do you often suffer FOMO that a better person is just round the corner, a swipe away? You may know intuitively that there is no such thing as a Perfect 10. But, your prospecting and perfectionism may be killing your love life in ways you didn’t even realize. This week on the pod, we’re examining why there is ...

30. Late to the Party: Rethinking FOMO at Home, Work & Love
We can’t go anywhere. Our plans have been cancelled til probably 2021 (let’s get real!). We’re no longer worried about the dinner parties we weren’t invited to, the gallery exhibitions we won’t be able to catch, the happy hours with our colleagues down the pub. Even our Instagram feeds don’t make us as wistful or envious of others’ lives as they used to. Could it be…the end of FOMO? And yet, a gripping anxiety of missing out on life persists. Instead of missing our lattés and gym memberships, we...

29. Sensual Healing: Leaning In to Quarantine Celibacy, Part 2
Excessive attention dedicated to one thing – whether that’s our screens or our sex lives – can bring about negative home habits and dull our other senses. Some studies have found that an excessive use of porn can even reduce the amount of dopamine receptors and transporters in adolescents. Last week on the pod (Ep28), I introduced the concept of leaning in to a celibacy practice during this period of quarantine (and why a break from all sexual stimulation might be a good thing right now). This w...

27. No Man is an Island: Why Loneliness is the Real Pandemic Men Face (and Five Ways to Reconnect Right Now)
I think we can all agree – there’s some crazy shit going down with our headspace right now, ammiright? We’d probably never admit it prior, but I think we’re all feeling a little bit lonely at the moment. Loneliness is a cringey concept, though, isn’t it? In any other version of reality than these twisted quarantimes – has any guy on the face of the western planet ever actually admitted (in any semblance of sobriety, at least) that he’s lonely ? Acute feelings of depression and loneliness contrib...

When you think about designing your space, two considerations likely come to mind: functionality and ROI (return on investment).

On this week’s episode, I’m walking you gents through the art of the splurge: the procurement of that one piece (or pieces) that, while not necessa...

A break up, a suitcase, an empty flat – and a fresh start. For my former client, Chris Hedderick, buying his first home as a newly single guy was just the beginning.
