A few years ago, a top investing firm found that 41% of divorced Gen Xers and 29% of Baby Boomers said they ended their marriage due to disagreements about money. Given that money can cause so much upset and even break up relationships, why don’t we talk about it more? What if your partner refuses to discuss money or has unhealthy money habits? What if you both have very different incomes and it makes your partner insecure? No matter what question you have about money and relationships, you can’...
Dec 28, 2024•2 hr 43 min•Transcript available on Metacast You know what drives me soooo crazy? Hearing men and women repeat the same dumb myths about relationships over and over again.

So today, I teamed up with my brother Stephen Hussey (co-writer of the "Get The Guy" book) to break down the top 5 annoying dating myths that need to end now. Thi...

Dec 23, 2024•25 min•Transcript available on Metacast When you get your heart broken, who do you turn to for advice? Family? Friends? Trawling around Reddit forums to see what other fellow sufferers have to say about your pain? All of this may help. Maybe.

Dec 09, 2024•15 min•Transcript available on Metacast It’s happened to the best of us. The flirty text banter that used to cause a surge of adrenaline has become pedestrian. And pretty soon “How was your day?” becomes “How was your week?” Or perhaps they initiate a text conversation and tell you what they’re up to, but never actually ask you out. Fortunately, all it takes is one small shift to turn it all around. If you’ve lost momentum with someone, feel your momentum is headed in the wrong direction, or just want to improve your communication, th...

Nov 11, 2024•21 min•Transcript available on Metacast Over my career, I’ve had so many people ask me how to get someone to actually call them. We seem to live on our phones these days, and yet, it feels like no one wants to pick them up and actually have a conversation.
