In this episode, Matthew sits down with artist, activist, and author Mary Fisher (@maryfisher), whose landmark 1992 speech at the Republican National Convention changed the face of AIDS awareness and made her a global icon of truth-telling and compassion.

Now in a new chapter of her life, Mary reflects on what it means to grieve not just people, but old lives, family, identity, and the loss of a place in the world. Together, she and Matthew explore how we rebuild, find chosen family, use creativity to heal, and speak up after a lifetime of being told to stay quiet.

This conversation is for anyone feeling disconnected, disempowered, or unsure of how to move forward when life has drastically changed. Mary’s words are a reminder that it’s never too late to reinvent your life, speak your truth, and create beauty from pain.

• The distinction between grief and depression—and how naming grief gave Mary her life back
  
  

• What it feels like to lose family who are still alive, and how to navigate that emotional terrain
  
  

• How to build a chosen family when your biological one isn’t safe or supportive
  
  

• The courage behind Mary’s 1992 speech and how mortality shifted her priorities
  
  

• Why radical honesty can be the foundation for deep connection
  
  

• Finding the right level of vulnerability early in relationships
  
  

• How to let go of the fantasy of who someone was “supposed to be”
  
  

• Creating through pain—how art and creativity became her medicine
  
  

• Learning to speak up after a lifetime of silence, guilt, and being told to “be a good girl”
  
  

• How to rewire your inner voice and create safety to be heard
  
  

• Understanding the difference between connection and one-sided emotional dependence in relationships

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.

We're all good with texting, posting on social media, or sending messages, but when it comes to hearing someone’s voice? Well, that seems like too much to ask.

Or is it?

I've seen people make this way more complicated than it needs to be, so let’s simplify things.

If you're tired of texting endlessly and want to create a real connection through conversation, here are 3 killer techniques to get them to pick up the phone and call you...

Today it's my pleasure to sit down with the excellent Oliver Burkeman (@oliverburkeman), author of the new book "Meditation for Mortals", which I've found myself recommending to all my friends and family as his work has hugely influential on me in recent years.

We sit down to discuss:

- Why "settling" in relationships is necessary
- How to find your Life Task
- How to get over perfectionism
- The power of intuition vs. reason
- Being more present in your life + acceptance
- Giving up on the illusion of "arriving"
- How to get through difficult things, anxiety, and deal with your flaws

And more!

When you’re in love and someone decides to end the relationship, it’s natural for your brain to go into "panic mode."

Why are they doing this? How can I be the person they want? What can I say to win them back?

If you allow these swirling thoughts to take over, you’ll likely end up pushing them further and further away.

Now, I’m not here to tell you whether or not you should give things another try with your ex. There are many factors to consider, which we can talk about another time.

But what I do know is that if you want to have a real chance of reconnecting, you must understand this important truth before taking the next step...

Tired of dating the wrong people?

When we really want to find a relationship, saying “no” to the people who don’t align with our core values can feel scary . . . especially when we’re not meeting a lot of people we connect with. We may even start to loosen our standards and become attached to someone who’s only giving us crumbs.

In today’s episode, I dive into the subtle-but-profound difference between those who successfully find love, and those who continue to remain in limbo. You’ll also learn how to cultivate the right culture in your life to attract a lasting, fulfilling relationship (plus I share a story from my younger days as a DJ).

Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Have you ever been hurt badly by someone in love?

Those wounds can stay with us a long time. They can stop us from taking chances again in love.

They can make us afraid of getting close to someone again… 

Afraid of being vulnerable again…

Afraid of letting someone in…

Because if the result of letting our guard down and choosing to love someone is that we give up all of our power, then why bother, right? Sure, we may be giving up the special experience of being in love, but at least we don’t have to experience those dreadful lows.

If you can relate to this, today’s episode is for you. You’ll hear me doing a live demonstration with someone who is going through exactly this issue. And what I tell her may be exactly the words you need to hear right now.

This episode isn’t a pep talk. It’s a rational, practical strategy for how to navigate your love life after someone has hurt you, or broken your heart or your trust (or all 3).
