Tired of putting in all the effort while others barely try? In this week’s episode, I share how to stop wasting energy on people who aren’t serious, and focus instead on connecting with people who are ready to meet you halfway. We’ll talk about how the story you’re telling (through your words and energy) can either inspire connection or hold you back. If dating feels frustrating right now, this is what you need . . .

Have you ever created an entire relationship in your head before going on a date with someone? Perhaps you’ve been texting with them for weeks and have already deduced they could be “The One,” or maybe you live for the two minutes of conversation you have with them before spin class. Unfortunately, living in our heads in this way can turn into obsessing, and render us incapable of feeling excited about anything other than seeing or hearing from that person. In other words, they occupy a space in our minds they’ve not yet earned!

In this week’s episode, I share with you the mindsets that can both help and hurt you in dating, as well as the best way to determine if you and this person could really work out. Tell me what you think in the comments.

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 me to be? What can I say to get them back?

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

Now, I’m not going to tell you whether or not you should give it 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 a real chance of getting this person back in your life, you must understand this important truth before you take the next step...

Can you relate to this?

You start dating someone who seems too good to be true. Maybe they treat you like no one ever has before, or they check all the boxes you’ve been looking for, or maybe it’s their success or status that makes you feel like the luckiest person just to have their attention (as in today’s example).

But here’s the catch: they’re sending you mixed signals when it comes to commitment. You keep spending time together, but you’re still unsure of what they actually want.

It’s a tricky situation. Even though you can sense something is off, the fear of losing them—and the uncertainty of finding someone as amazing as they seem—makes it nearly impossible to set boundaries or create distance. You’re stuck, holding onto something that might not be what you thought it was.

If this sounds familiar, don’t miss today’s episode—it’s a rewind you won’t want to miss.

After a really good date or two, have you ever found yourself scrolling through the other person’s social media pages . . . to a slightly unhealthy degree? Maybe you’ve even tried to find their exes’ profiles to see how you compare with them? (It’s OK, we’ve all been there.) This is often bad for our mental health.

I still remember every heartbreak I’ve ever had.

If I try I can still bring back the agony of those months after a relationship ended, wondering if I was ever going to feel better and get back to my normal self. When you’re feeling that pain of losing someone, food doesn’t taste good. TV shows depress you. Your favourite places feel cursed because they bring back bittersweet memories. Life feels like white noise, and your every waking moment goes back to that feeling of loss and pain.

We’ve all been there, right? But there is a secret to emotionally recovering from a breakup, one that is shockingly simple but so crucial that if you forget to do it, you will inadvertently DOUBLE the amount of time it takes to get over your ex. See, most of us make bad decisions in a breakup. We drink to numb the pain, we have one-night stands with people we don’t care about, or we eat ourselves into oblivion with junk food.

It sucks now, I know. But it will get better, trust me...

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’t miss today’s video featuring my good friend—and bestselling author—Ramit Sethi (@ramit). 

We go deep into topics such as: 

• The biggest red flags with money
• Having conversations about spending on luxuries and dividing finances

You know what drives me soooo crazy?

Hearing men and women repeat the same dumb myths about relationships over and over again.

And I don’t blame anyone for believing them.

The fact is that society, romantic movies, and even our friends and family are responsible for spreading certain “facts” about love and dating that just aren’t true.

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.

This is a fun one – can’t wait for you to see it. . .

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.

It struck me recently how we’re never really taught how to move on from the agony of losing someone we love. And if we’re not careful, following the behavior of the people around us can make us feel even worse.

So. . . let’s pause. Take a breath. Get our s**t together again.

It’s nearly 2025. Maybe you’re missing someone right now as the holidays roll around.

But now is not the time to mourn. Now is the time to truly begin your healing and put yourself back together before next year begins.

Here’s what you need to know to finally move on. . .

Ever had someone who keeps you just on the edge? Who swings between making you feel like you’re the most important person in the world and suddenly pulling away and freaking out?

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, this week’s video is a must-watch. I give you 6 specific text messages you can use or adapt to transform your current situation.

The great news is that you only need to try one of these 6 texts to change your dynamic right now. Be sure to let me know which one you try first in the comments!

You’d analyze every message they sent with your friends. You’d worry when they went silent for several hours, constantly checking your phone, looking for signs of hope.

The rules are different when you’re in a relationship with a narcissist. You may walk on eggshells, question yourself, or feel like you can never do anything right in their eyes. And if they break up with you? It only leaves you with more confusion. So what’s the right move in this situation? Should we stand up to them? Try to convince them with facts? This is just one of the 7 reasons why you can never expect to get true closure from a narcissist—and what you can do to give closure to yourself—that I share in today’s new episode.

It always surprises me how often a potentially great relationship is cut short because of avoidable mistakes and insecure behaviors that we haven’t learned to manage. 

“But doesn’t love solve everything?” 

Well, not exactly. 

What often happens is that these toxic patterns slowly undermine every chance at love we find (or at least make the search much harder than it needs to be). 

In this week’s Rewind episode, I want to share the three most common behaviors that can scare someone off before they have a chance to truly fall for you. 

Avoid these, and you’ll find it much easier to let someone see your best qualities and build a healthy, happy relationship.

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.

THIS is one of the top reasons why a breakup can feel so raw . . . You may have only recently let your guard down and shown your real feelings, only to have the other person end things. This can feel especially painful because it’s like they’ve rejected you for who you truly are at your core. But it doesn’t have to feel that way, because it’s not actually true. And in today’s new episode, I explore 5 different mindsets that can ease heartbreak and restore confidence so you can find the right person faster.

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).

Have you ever been with someone you were certain would never settle down? The type who would declare to all their friends that they just “weren’t made” for a relationship . . . only to one day announce they’re in a serious relationship or even getting married?

When this happens, we think, “What did the person they committed to do that I didn’t?!”

What makes someone suddenly decide to commit?

In this week’s video, I not only dive into the answer to this question, but I also give you 4 practical pieces of psychology you can use to influence someone’s desire to commit to you.

There’s a lot of talk in modern dating of red flags, but what if you just disagree early on, and don’t know if this is a sign of doom ahead, or simply a chance to communicate and accept your differences? Maybe you have different ideas about where you want to live or the lifestyle you want . . . or your personalities just occasionally clash.

In this episode, Matthew, Stephen, and Audrey talk about signs of incompatibility, how to have better communication in arguments, and deciding what really matters when pursuing a long-term relationship.

There’s a line from the movie Vanilla Sky that I’ve always loved. It’s when Tom Cruise’s character realizes: “The little things... There’s nothing bigger, is there?” That’s often true in attraction too. So many people are looking for the huge epiphany, instead of the subtle-yet-powerful changes to their behavior that can skyrocket their results. As you'll learn in this episode, making a deeper connection doesn't have to be complicated. Try one of these 5 simple steps on your next date!
