(Matt Monday): How to AVOID Dating Time Wasters

Have you ever felt like a magnet for avoidants or wondered if commitment-phobic people are all that’s left in the dating pool? It’s as if you can’t even get anything off the ground, because consistent communication is never in the cards with the people you’re dating. And when you’re dating someone where everything’s falling into place EXCEPT for the fact that they’re avoidant, it can be tempting to rationalize any reason to stay. But why do we do this, and why does this situation make us want to...

A huge number of relationships that end, should end. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But how do we know if ‘ours’ should have ended.

201: How Does Money Complicate Love? (With Ramit Sethi)

We all like to think that love transcends all other issues, especially that of money. But our BELIEFS about money say a lot about what we value, our fears, and dictate the way we choose to live every day. Do you believe in saving every penny? Would you stay in a fancy hotel on a vacation? How would you feel if your partner bought themselves an expensive car without talking to you first? In this episode, Matt is joined by money expert Ramit Sethi (host of the hit podcast “I Will Teach You To Be R...

Whether it’s love, an amazing job, or a high-value social circle of genuine, supportive friends . . . perhaps you feel envy watching other people work a room better than you—feeling like you can’t tell interesting stories, you’re not charismatic, or you aren’t someone strangers feel drawn to.

(Rewind): 5 Simple Steps to Open Up Your Heart to Love Again

One of the most special moments in life is when we feel seen and in turn see somebody else for who they genuinely are. But this level of DEEP connection requires vulnerability. Truly opening up, being vulnerable and allowing someone to see us at our very core can be terrifying. It’s especially terrifying if we’ve opened ourselves up and been hurt in the process. We all have those negative reference points from our past. Maybe it was the way we were brought up, something that happened at school o...

(Matt Monday): How to Get Over the Pain of Being Ghosted

Have you ever been a victim of the most painful kind of ghosting . . . where you’re haunted by the fact that you never got closure with someone? It’s the sort of thing that can consume your thoughts as you obsessively look over the final exchange you had with the person and enlist your friends to help you dissect it, hoping they can spot a clue you might have missed.

(Rewind): How To Love Ourselves Like It's Our Job (with Lindsey Sterling)

I truly loved this conversation my friend @lindseystirling . So often in life we’re told how important it is to love ourselves without any explanation of what that actually means or how to practically apply that advice.

198: Why We Become "Too Nice" When We Like Someone (And What To Do About It)

It can feel like there is a before/after switch, where we decide we’re attracted to someone, feel the butterflies in our stomach, and can’t help but tighten up and struggle to express our real selves. And often, this can result in us being too accommodating, or giving polite-yet-boring responses, or in trying too hard to be liked instead of allowing natural chemistry and flirtation to happen. In this episode, Matt, Stephen, Audrey and Jameson ...

As we roll into the New Year, it seems like as good a time as any to talk about our standards. We think of a new year as being a time where we reset our standards, don’t we?
