Today’s interview with Matthew McConaughey is instantly one of my most popular interviews of the last 10 years. Thank you so much if you listened, subscribed, and shared this episode with your friends and family . . . you’re the reason this is reaching so many people right now. One thing that’s surprised people the most is how relatable this entire interview is, and just how vulnerable he gets about what made the difference when it came to overcoming his fears and finding love. He says some seri...

A recent dating study showed that many people have what is known as a "backburner relationship". And many people date today while also still being in touch with exes or former sexual partners. Is this trend dangerous for building a relationship? And what does it cost us in the long-run if we have a "backup person" who we keep contact with? --- Follow Matt @thematthewhussey Follow Stephen @stephenhhussey --- ►► Stop Waiting and Start Creating the Happiness You Deserve NOW - Claim your spot on my ...

Have you ever dated someone who’s so hard to stay away from EVEN THOUGH they’re not interested in a relationship and you know you should keep your distance? It’s like a drug . . . or the worst kind of junk food . . . even after you swear it off for good, your resolve crumbles the moment they reach out. When you’re in this vulnerable position, the hope that they may change and that things could be different is what drags you back in. And before you know it, you go right back to feeling powerless—...

Have you ever had an insecurity, a jealousy, or something that hurt you or made you feel threatened, but you didn’t know the right way to bring it up? Of course you have. We all have. Maybe you’re feeling that right now. It can be terrifying, can’t it? We are told vulnerability is good, but we know it can hurt the relationship if we repeatedly express our fears and insecurities. But being vulnerable can actually create a deeper bond with someone, as well as reveal if they’re the right person for...

We asked YOU this week how not having confidence affects your love life, and you answered! It's only when we really ask ourselves this question that we can see all the small ways that lack of self-esteem or negative self-talk can be causing us play it safe, self-sabotage, or just live with unnecessary anxiety. In this episode, Matthew, Stephen, Audrey and Jameson dive into the roots of confidence and what we can do to rewire ourselves for a more positive self-image in approaching our relationshi...

Have you fallen for a guy who says he’s “confused”? He really likes you and spends time with you, but isn’t sure if he’s ready for a real commitment yet? If you’ve experienced this, you will know that this type of hedging can leave you INCREDIBLY confused. You feel you have something special with him, yet he’s still holding back. You know you can’t live in limbo forever, but you also can’t let go. When you’re in this situation and you really like someone, their excuse can almost become a romanti...

It's easy to find yourself comparing your attractiveness to others in dating. We compare our looks, our job, our body, our wealth...and we can easily feel like we don't match up. But people don't fall in love with characteristics. And comparison will always leave us with more anxiety and self-sabotage than learning to love what we have. In this episode, Matt and Stephen discuss the problem of comparison and what really makes someone fall for you. --- Follow Matt @thematthewhussey Follow Stephen ...

When you’re looking for a partner to have a family with, the pressure of the timeline imposed on you by your biological clock can make the whole process overwhelming. (Not to mention, when you’re fearful that time is running out, you can end up making bad dating choices.) In this episode, Matthew talks to two experts on fertility: Dr. Serena H. Chen, a fertility doctor, and Dr. Ioana Baiu, a surgeon who’s gone through the egg-freezing process, as we dive deep into the benefits and challenges of ...

In the aftermath of a toxic or narcissistic relationship, we can lose all sense of self. Whether our partner tried to steal our joy at every opportunity, or they wore down our self-esteem with endless arguments and cold-shoulder treatments . . . the end of a relationship like this will leave us feeling disoriented and lost, and it can be hard to rewire our brains and resume normal life once we’re free. At this point, it can be unbelievably hard to trust other people again. Logically, we may unde...

We all know we won’t connect with everyone we meet . . . but one of the most frustrating situations we can find ourselves in is one where we feel an initial spark and a connection, but things just don’t seem to progress. And in the end, they end up fading as we feel a lack of momentum. Rather than giving in to our desire to double down on communication, there’s a simple shift we can make on a date that allows unique attraction to grow. And it’s the kind of thing that will leave them thinking of ...

Back in ye olden times, the fear that a partner might be cheating was enough to keep someone up at night. But in recent years, we’ve added a new layer of anxiety to the mix: “micro-cheating,” a.k.a. “back burner relationships.” In fact, when Psychology Today recently polled people who are in a relationship, 56% revealed they had a back burner person: someone they’re in contact with who could be an option if their current relationship doesn’t go the distance. That’s not to say that everyone reali...

Did you know that men and women respond differently to breakups? My brother Stephen and I talked about recent research that showed differences in how men and women process emotional pain, how long they take to recover from heartbreak, and how likely they are to want to get back together. Of course, we are all individuals, and our response will also be determined by our own personality and experiences, but it's always interesting to see these general patterns of male and female behaviour and whet...

We’ve all experienced this relentless form of self-torture . . . Whether your breakup was two days or two decades ago, you find yourself looking back and wondering how things could’ve turned out had you acted differently. Had you known then what you know today.

Listening to our gut when something’s off can save us a lot of time and stress when we’re dating . . . but what if we can’t tell the difference between when our gut is warning us and when our anxiety is trying to sabotage us? What if the red flags we think we’re seeing are actually our fears in disguise? If you have a tendency toward anxiety, this second-guessing can make the early days of dating extra stressful, because you may have a hard time separating an important concern from your ever-vig...

I don’t like it when I hear people say, “You need to be happy first before you find a relationship.” It’s not that the sentiment is a bad one, but saying to someone who is facing challenges in life that they need to be happy before they can be with someone seems highly unproductive to me. As if it’s not hard enough being alone when we want to find a partner . . . we now also have to achieve this elusive feeling of happiness before we do?!

Your phone buzzes. It’s a text from them ;) You can feel your stomach flip over with excitement. Every message they send is like sweet honey for your brain. “Damn”, you think, “I’m an addict.” And then you fire a cute message back. And you wait...and wait… “Why aren't they replying?” you want to scream to your friend on the couch next to you. But she’s too busy with her phone to notice.

When everybody seems to have found “their person,” it can make us feel so behind and deeply afraid. This is the very moment we fall prey to saying “yes” to the wrong person, just to put an end to the feeling that we won’t find anyone and will miss our chance at having an amazing relationship. But choosing temporary comfort is a short game, and as we shrink our view of the world, we lose sight of just how much abundance is waiting for us. In reality, those who are successful in love play the long...

We all long for financial independence, relationship bliss, greater familial connection, and a generally peaceful life with fewer hardships. But as it happens, life doesn’t care about the straight-line trajectory we've planned for ourselves. It will capriciously take a person from us at a time we weren’t prepared for. It will injure us when we need to be active. It will rob us of our finances in a bad business deal we thought was a sure thing. It will take away a relationship we thought would la...
