Have you ever met someone who felt like the right person, only for circumstances to make a relationship impossible?
Maybe the connection was incredible. You both had feelings for each other. But because of distance, timing, or something happening in their life, they told you they couldn't be with you.
And now you're left wondering how to move on from someone who, under different circumstances, might have been the love of your life.
In this episode, I respond to a listener who's struggling to let go of someone he adores, even though she's told him she can't be in a relationship right now.
We explore why the idea of "the right person at the wrong time" can make heartbreak so difficult to overcome, the difference between someone who can't be with you and someone who chooses not to, and how holding on to what could have been can keep you from living the life that's still ahead of you.
Because as painful as it is to lose a connection that felt so promising, there's an important question worth asking: If a happy relationship wasn't possible, what exactly are you holding on to?

Why You Keep Falling for the Wrong People | Rewind
Have you ever looked back at the people you've dated and realized you keep falling for the same type of person, even when those relationships never seem to work out?
Maybe you're always drawn to someone who's emotionally unavailable, unpredictable, or exciting in ways that ultimately leave you feeling insecure. Or perhaps you've met someone who treats you well, makes you feel comfortable, and genuinely interests you, but you dismiss them because they're just not your usual type.
So how much of what we call our "type" is genuine attraction, and how much is simply what we've become used to?
In this episode, we explore why we keep repeating the same dating patterns, how familiarity can influence who we find attractive, and why the qualities that initially excite us aren't always the ones that make us happiest in a relationship.
We also discuss how attraction can grow in unexpected places, and why being more open to people outside your usual type doesn't mean settling for someone you don't feel chemistry with.
You might be surprised by who you could fall for if you stopped assuming you already know exactly what your type is.

Everything you know about confidence is WRONG | Matt Monday
Have you ever wondered why, after everything you’ve achieved and experienced in life, you still don’t feel as confident as you thought you would by now?
Maybe you’ve spent years working on yourself, building a career, or achieving things you thought would finally make you feel good enough. And yet, one rejection or setback can still leave you questioning your worth.
Why is confidence so easy to lose, even when we’ve worked so hard to build it?
In this week’s episode, I share my 3 Layers of Confidence model and explain why so much of the confidence advice we hear misses what actually matters.
I also reveal four of the biggest barriers keeping us from building the kind of confidence that doesn't disappear when life doesn't go our way.

Published 9 Oct 2024 · Transcript excerpt
[…] So the story of this is this. From the moment marriage was, now if we talk marriage, right? From the moment marriage was no longer primarily an economic enterprise. And it became a romantic enterprise. It became an affectionate story. If she is less economically dependent on him, then her emotional needs become more important. So the change of the nature of our expectations, because love has always existed, but it existed outside primarily of marriage. I mean, marriage was, if there was love, it was great, but that wasn't the goal. So our expectations, particularly our emotional expectations, have risen from in parallel to the decrease of the economic dependency. […]
