Love Life With Matthew Hussey

Dating apps can feel like their own toxic relationship. We swear them off, only to come back because life is busy and meeting strangers in the real world feels nearly impossible. A Pew Research survey even found that more than a third of app users walk away feeling more pessimistic about dating than before. So why do we still cling to them, even when the experience leaves us drained? In this episode, I share the hidden truth that restores optimism in love, plus the one “dating app” I actually recommend if you’re serious about finding a real connection. (Spoiler alert: It’s not what you think.) If you’ve ever felt exhausted by swipes, ghosting, and endless options that lead nowhere, what I reveal in this video may be the missing piece between frustration and finally finding your person. --- ►► Love is Hard.

Do you attract emotionally unavailable people? Or maybe you have a pattern of meeting good people and pushing them away because “something doesn’t feel right.” If this sounds familiar, you may struggle to trust your own decisions when it comes to love. This often leads to us looking to others to validate our choices and tell us we’re doing the right thing (which can be dangerous for many reasons). So how can you get out of this cycle? In today’s episode, I share 7 simple steps you can take to make better decisions in love and start building self-trust again. --- ►► Don’t miss your chance to join the October 18-19 Matthew Hussey Weekend Retreat THIS weekend from anywhere in the world.

Join the Love Life Podcast crew for this new episode as they examine the tricky link between money and self-worth in dating, answering questions like: • Do most men feel their value is connected to their income? • How big of a role does money actually play when choosing a partner? • In what ways do money expectations affect our relationships? • How has social media distorted our sense of what’s “enough”? You’ll also learn about the fears and insecurities both men and women face when it comes to finances and relationships, and why confidence and teamwork matter far more than the size of your bank account. --- ►► Don’t miss your chance to join the October 18-19 Matthew Hussey Weekend Retreat THIS weekend from anywhere in the world.

Marriage is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make—but it’s also one of the riskiest if you’re not careful. In this week’s episode, I’m sharing the lessons I’ve learned about what makes a marriage work, why rushing into it can lead to heartbreak, and how to know if you’re choosing the right person for the right reasons. (Plus, I share the one question you must ask yourself before saying “I do.”) --- ►► Transform your confidence and your relationship with yourself, others, and life itself during my Weekend Retreat next week, October 18-19 (which you can watch from the comfort of home if you can’t make it to Miami).

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 episode, 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). --- ►► Protect your privacy and stream your favorite shows with NordVPN.

If dating apps have left you feeling drained, you’re not alone. Nearly half of U.S. adults say dating is harder now than it was a decade ago, and for good reason: ghosting, endless swiping, and dead-end chats can make anyone feel cynical. Even though it may not feel like it, more than half of us still meet our future partner the old-fashioned way: crossing paths in everyday life. In this week’s episode, you’ll learn five easy and actionable ways to meet people offline. Whether you want to expand your world, get some effective conversation-starters, or simply exchange contact information without it feeling awkward, these simple shifts could change everything . . . just like they did for me. -- ►►Protect your data and stream your favorite shows with NordVPN (and get four extra months here): NordVPN.com/LoveLife ►► Transform Your Relationship With Life in One Powerful Weekend.

What do you do when someone is great on dates but goes radio silent in between? With only three dates in, it’s easy to feel confused and crave clarity, but early dating rarely provides the closure we seek.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about whether to reach out or how to navigate inconsistent communication, this episode will give you the tools to approach dating with confidence and intention. --- ►► Take back your personal data with Incogni!

In this week’s episode, we dive into a topic that’s sparked heated debates and fascinating insights in our community: Why are so many women choosing to stay single?

What if the reason your relationships haven’t worked isn’t about who you’ve been with, but about what’s been missing?

Do you feel stuck on an ex . . . convinced you’ll never feel that way again? In this week’s episode, Matthew, Audrey, and Stephen reframe “I’ll never be as happy” as an anxious thought, not a prophecy. They unpack nostalgia traps, why we over-glorify past relationships, and how to reclaim your power. You’ll hear practical ways to create new meaning (even at old places), stop doom-scrolling, and change the story you’re telling yourself. Plus, a Love Life Line caller asks whether it’s OK to date while ending a long marriage, and the Love Life podcast crew plays a rapid-fire game looking at post-breakup behaviors that help or hurt healing. --- ►► Limited-time bonus: Get 90 days of free Love Life Coaching when you purchase an in-person or virtual Retreat ticket before midnight Pacific time on September 30: RetreatAccess.com ►► Talk to Matthew AI anytime for coaching, strategies, and support.

Why does it feel so hard to find someone who will actually commit? These days, it’s easy to get caught up in someone’s curated image: their Instagram-perfect life, charm, and seemingly deep qualities. But having great qualities doesn’t automatically make someone a great partner. And that’s where we often get stuck. In this week’s episode, I break down why we idealize people based on what they project, and how it distracts us from seeing what really matters. I also share the subtle signs to look for in someone who’s truly capable of long-term commitment.

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 . . .

We’ve been told from a very young age to “play it cool” . . . But as we grow up, we realize that when we feel we need to “play it cool” to keep someone interested, that often means we’re feeling anything but cool . . . and it usually comes from a place of insecurity or a fear of being rejected. Pretty soon, we find ourselves calibrating our conversations and contorting ourselves to meet the other person’s needs so we don’t come off as needy or a nuisance, and little by little, we start to show them that our needs can be ignored with no repercussions . . . In today’s episode, you’ll learn the best way to increase attraction and investment in a way that doesn’t diminish your value or make you feel like a nuisance simply for stating your needs. -- ►► Don’t miss the Love Life Reset next week: It only takes 5 seconds to sign up for Matthew’s final live online training of 2025!

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.
