Love Life With Matthew Hussey

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. --- ►► Stop Waiting and Start Creating the Happiness You Deserve NOW - Claim your spot on my Virtual Retreat, June 2 - 4, 2023: MHVirtualRetreat.com►► Follow Matt on Insta: @thematthewhussey ►► Follow Stephen on Insta: @stephenhhussey Hosted on Acast.

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 family planning, to find out ways you can get your power back when it comes to deciding on when to have children, how to consciously date when you know you want a family, and how to maximize your reproductive options. --- ►► Stop Waiting and Start Creating the Happiness You Deserve NOW - Claim your spot on my Virtual Retreat, June 2 - 4, 2023: MHVirtualRetreat.com Hosted on Acast.

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 understand that not everyone’s like our ex . . . but emotionally, we see danger at every turn. But there is a way we can heal—so we can move on and learn to trust ourselves again. And in today’s episode, I share 3 mindsets that can help you do just that. ---►► Begin to Truly Trust Yourself & Believe in Your Own Worth. Learn more About The Matthew Hussey Virtual Retreat: MHVirtualRetreat.com Hosted on Acast.

Today I wanted to share a great conversation with special guest Justin Baldoni. He is an actor, a filmmaker, a writer, a speaker, and someone who caught my attention for the work that he was doing to help men, in becoming more vulnerable, in relating differently to their masculinity. In this episode, we discuss: Why men are more sensitive than you think Getting over our trauma Dealing with conflict Understanding masculine vs. feminine energy Getting closure after a relationship --- Follow Justin on Instagram @JustinBaldoni You can also grab Justin's book "Boys Will Be Human" - buy your copy here Hosted on Acast.

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 us long after the date has ended . . . If you’d like to learn what this ingredient is and how you can add it to your next date, don’t miss today's brand-new episode. --- ►► Become a Love Life Member & Finally Master Your Love Life.

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 realizes what they’re doing. Many feel it’s harmless—that they’re just being friendly and keeping in touch with a friend. Today’s episode will give you a simple test to figure out if you’re in a back burner relationship, and provide you with the mindset you need to give your current one its best shot.--- ►► Stop Waiting and Start Creating the Happiness You Deserve NOW - Claim your spot on my Virtual Retreat, June 2 - 4, 2023: MHVirtualRetreat.com►► Follow Matt on Insta: @thematthewhussey►► Follow Stephen on Insta: @stephenhhussey Hosted on Acast.

When we like someone, it’s tempting to move fast, let our emotions take over, and simply do what feels good. But in this frenzy of excitement, we can inadvertently end up on a path we don’t want to be on… In this new episode, I answer a question from someone who didn’t want to repeat the last 2 years of her life, which she spent in a ‘friends with benefits’ situation.---►► Unlock My Best Solution For Your Current Dating Situation: YourDatingSolution.com Hosted on Acast.

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 whether they conform with our stereotypes. What do you think? Have you noticed any of these differences in your own relationships? --- ►► Follow Matt on Insta: @thematthewhussey ►► Follow Stephen on Insta: @stephenhhussey ►► Heal Your Heart & Move on Strong From Your Breakup.

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. Pretty soon, you’re living in the timeline where you didn’t “ruin everything” with that person . . . ultimately punishing yourself over a parallel universe you’ve created in your mind. In this clip, my brother Stephen and I answer the question, “Is it possible to ‘blow it’ with the right person?” and share how you can turn self-loathing into a better relationship with yourself (and your future partner). --- ►► Follow Matt on Insta: @thematthewhussey ►► Follow Stephen on Insta: @stephenhhussey►► If you want to spend 3 days with me creating the conditions for your own happiness, then my next Virtual Retreat of 2023 is coming up fast!

We asked you what your biggest fears for the future were, and you answered! No matter how confident we feel, we all have worries about what lies ahead. The future is unknown. And many of us can’t help but occasionally let our biggest anxieties and worries about where our life is going get the better of us. It could be about your career, your relationships, or anything that keeps you up at night. In this new episode, Matt, Stephen, Audrey, and Jameson talk about what it takes to either overcome these fears, or at least how to not let them paralyze or overwhelm you.---►► If you want to spend 3 days with me creating the conditions for your own happiness, then my next Virtual Retreat of 2023 is coming up fast!

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-vigilant anxiety. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it me or is it them?” you can’t miss today’s episode, in which I share five ways to tell if it’s a major concern or your anxiety talking. --- ►► Stop Doubting Yourself & Start Believing In Your Own Worth Learn More About The Virtual Retreat: MHVirtualRetreat.com Hosted on Acast.

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?! I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to be happy before you find a relationship . . . You just need to be “happy enough.” --- ►► If you want to spend 3 days with me creating the conditions for your own happiness, then my next Virtual Retreat of 2023 is coming up fast!

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. You try to shift focus, but you obsessively check for a text every 30 seconds. Sound familiar? We’ve all had this agony of “anxious waiting” with someone we like. It’s distracting, it’s unattractive, and it drains you of your peace of mind every minute you sit in limbo.

Today, Matt answers a question from a listener who feels she is independent, successful, and ambitious, but is only meeting guys who fit a more "beta" male stereotype (who take the backseat in a relationship), rather than the driven "alpha" guys she would like to meet. Matt talks about some practical strategies to meet the right kind of person for you, and how to think about the qualities that you value and seek out in a relationship.  --- ►► Do You Have a Question About Your Love Life?

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 game—one where they trust they deserve more than a relationship that is inherently not meeting their needs, or simply not right for them. In today’s new episode, I not only show you how to identify someone who’s wrong for you, but I also share how to take that leap to start fresh and set your love life on the right path.

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 last forever. And when these things inevitably happen, it can feel like we’re grieving the loss of some future that’s now no longer available to us . . . But life is cyclical and doesn’t trend in just one direction. This is why it is imperative for us to take our focus off of where we feel we “ought to be” and make peace with life as it is today. Because the truth is, there’s always time to reinvent ourselves, meet somebody new, or fix something broken in our lives. And it is our job to cherish and learn from the wisdom gained from our past experiences instead of wishing things had gone a different way.---►► Get Real Results in your Love Life This Year...

Have you ever felt like a magnet for avoidants or wondered if commitment-phobic people are all that’s left in the dating pool? It’s as if you can’t even get anything off the ground, because consistent communication is never in the cards with the people you’re dating. And when you’re dating someone where everything’s falling into place EXCEPT for the fact that they’re avoidant, it can be tempting to rationalize any reason to stay. But why do we do this, and why does this situation make us want to hold on so tightly to a person who’s not giving us what we need? Today’s new episode will help you reconnect with your value so you can approach these kinds of situations with a clear head and a sense of worthiness.

A huge number of relationships that end, should end. But how do we know if ‘ours’ should have ended. We leave with a giant question mark: “Did I just lose the person I was supposed to be with?” ⠀ That lack of closure is a horrible feeling that eats away at us. We don’t always get perfect closure. But there is a way of being proactive about getting peace of mind if you feel like you have someone who is worth fighting for. ⠀ It’s through a simple conversation, and I tell you how to have it in this video.

We all like to think that love transcends all other issues, especially that of money.  But our BELIEFS about money say a lot about what we value, our fears, and dictate the way we choose to live every day. Do you believe in saving every penny? Would you stay in a fancy hotel on a vacation? How would you feel if your partner bought themselves an expensive car without talking to you first? In this episode, Matt is joined by money expert Ramit Sethi (host of the hit podcast “I Will Teach You To Be Rich”) to discuss how money affects our relationships and how we can have a healthier partnership when we have better communication and control around the topic of our finances.---►► Join my Virtual Retreat before January 31st and get $200 off your ticket + some amazing limited time bonuses!►► Go to MHVirtualRetreat.com and book your spot today!

Have you experienced a situation where in spite of having dated someone for a short time, it took you weeks (sometimes even months) to start to feel like you’re over them?

One of the most special moments in life is when we feel seen and in turn see somebody else for who they genuinely are. But this level of DEEP connection requires vulnerability. Truly opening up, being vulnerable and allowing someone to see us at our very core can be terrifying. It’s especially terrifying if we’ve opened ourselves up and been hurt in the process. We all have those negative reference points from our past. Maybe it was the way we were brought up, something that happened at school or the way we were treated in a past relationship. We experience pain and as a result our guard goes up. And although we may think that we’re avoiding pain, refusing to get vulnerable comes with its own pain. The pain of stagnation. The pain of avoidance. The pain of knowing that on some level we’re not opening ourselves up to the possibility of a deep connection, an amazing relationship or simply the opportunities that would allow us to create our best lives. So, I challenge you to make today the day you change that. --- ►► The Virtual Retreat is officially back this June 2-4! And there's a special "Early Bird" offer available until the end of January.

Have you ever been a victim of the most painful kind of ghosting . . . where you’re haunted by the fact that you never got closure with someone? It’s the sort of thing that can consume your thoughts as you obsessively look over the final exchange you had with the person and enlist your friends to help you dissect it, hoping they can spot a clue you might have missed. The reality is that this need for clarity and closure is a bid for control in a situation where you have none. Not only that, but every time you allow your thoughts to head in that direction, it’s another scratch at a wound that wants so badly to heal.

I truly loved this conversation my friend @lindseystirling . So often in life we’re told how important it is to love ourselves without any explanation of what that actually means or how to practically apply that advice. If you’ve ever found yourself struggling with this concept, one practical tool is to recognize how we love other really important people in our lives. Our parents, children, siblings, nieces, nephews, old friends . . . our love for them doesn't have anything to do with whether they have a good day or a bad day today. We love them because they’re ours, even though they can sometimes be difficult or don't always realize their potential. And that’s how we have to start viewing ourselves. We don’t need to find all of these amazing things about ourselves to start valuing ourselves more. We love ourselves because we’re ours. WE are the ones responsible for looking after us. Love yourself like it's your job; because it IS. --- ►► Download your free guide on how to get back into dating after heartbreak. Go to 3SecretsToLove.com and get your copy. Hosted on Acast.

Why is it we become “too nice” with someone we like? It can feel like there is a before/after switch, where we decide we’re attracted to someone, feel the butterflies in our stomach, and can’t help but tighten up and struggle to express our real selves. And often, this can result in us being too accommodating, or giving polite-yet-boring responses, or in trying too hard to be liked instead of allowing natural chemistry and flirtation to happen. In this episode, Matt, Stephen, Audrey and Jameson talk about why we become “too nice", what we can do to be more of who we really are, and how to show our most attractive self in dating.---►► Download our free guide on simple texts you can send to spark attraction.

As we roll into the New Year, it seems like as good a time as any to talk about our standards. We think of a new year as being a time where we reset our standards, don’t we? And yet, have you ever worried that you’re being too picky? And have you ever wondered if this “pickiness” is the thing that’s stopping you from finding a relationship? I was on stage when a woman stood up and asked: “Matthew, should I listen to my mum and lower my standards?” It’s a hard thing trying to figure out if the reasons you are rejecting people are valid, or if they represent an “unreasonable” standard that you need to let go of. I hope this provides a little clarity... Happy Holidays again, friend. I’m thinking of you more than ever right now.---►► Discover the Text Messages That Get You Off Your Phone and Into a REAL Relationship: MomentumTexts.com Hosted on Acast.

Casual relationships and hook-ups are more common than ever. Some even talk about a "hook-up culture". But even though we have more choice than ever, there are sometimes consequences we never anticipate. Society says we shouldn’t have stigma around hooking up and casually dating - and that's a good thing - but it can also be painful if we aren't honest about what we really want. We always have to ask the question: is this serving us? Am I feeling respected or am I doing something because it's simply easy right now? Matt, Stephen, Audrey and Jameson discuss the good and bad of casual fun, what you need to think about beforehand, and how to we make sure we don't hurt other people (or ourselves) in the process. ---►► Download our free guide on "How To Move On After Heartbreak": MoveOnStrong.com►► Email us!

OK, picture this . . . I’m in my local coffee shop, minding my own business—my business in this case is ordering an oat milk flat white (just in case we ever go to coffee and you want to know what my order is)—and I get talking to a woman who tells me she’s mad at me. She knows who I am, she’s a fan, she even said my program worked for her, and yet she told me she was mad at me. In this episode, I tell the full story . . . You’re going to want to listen to the full story, because it highlights how so many people get hurt because they follow 95% of my advice, but ignore one of the most crucial things I say. Think of it this way: you can have all the right ingredients to bake a cake, but if you forget to add baking powder, the cake isn’t going to rise. In this video, you’re going to learn what the baking powder of dating is. Without it, your relationship will not rise, which explains what happened to this woman I met in the coffee shop.

For a long time I thought it was crazy how many women asked me to talk about this topic. But now, I realize the reason is obvious: In 2022, more of us are doing long-distance relationships than ever. You meet a great guy on Instagram who doesn’t live in the same country... You start dating the perfect man in your city, only to find out he’s been offered a new job 1000 miles away… And suddenly, you find yourself having “Skype dates”, and you now spend half your work day sending silly photos to each other on Whatsapp. You feel like you’re falling in love with this guy – but can it actually work long term?? Should you follow your heart and go for it, or should you listen to your head and call it quits? What’s the answer? These are big questions, so I decided this it was time to be super honest about long-distance and my thoughts on it.

I’m curious if you can relate to this . . . You know you have a lot to offer someone, but you can’t seem to get out of the cycle of dating the wrong people—bouncing from one emotionally unavailable guy to the next. What you may not notice is that—without even realizing it—you’ve likely conditioned yourself to attract those types of guys. While a casual fling with someone like that may feel harmless, you may be surprised to learn just how much it can shift the way you approach dating. In today’s brand-new episode, I unpack the dangers of settling for casual relationships and how they can rewire your mindset in a way that has a lasting effect on your love life. Then, most importantly, I share how you can get out of that crazy loop and actually see the potential that’s waiting for you.---►► FREE download: "9 Texts No Man Can Resist": 9texts.com►► FREE download: "5 Compliments to Get Him Addicted to You": SayThisToHim.com►► Unlock 67 Text Messages That Put You in Control & Move Your Life Forward + 4 Special Bonuses: MomentumTexts.com Hosted on Acast.
