How To Get the Guy Podcast

For years, when I signed copies of Get the Guy, I would write the same message: Never settle. I still believe we should never settle for bad behavior, mistreatment, or a relationship that doesn't make us happy. But over time, I've come to see the idea of "settling" a little differently.

As a result, we end up overlooking genuinely great people because they don't meet every requirement on our list. In this episode,

Have you ever wondered if you ended a relationship too soon? In this week’s episode, I share the story of a woman who found herself trapped in a cycle that many of us know all too well. After a breakup, she couldn't shake the feeling that she might be walking away from something good. So when the door cracked open again, she stepped right back through it. What happened next revealed a pattern I’ve seen repeatedly over two decades of coaching: a subtle dynamic that keeps people stuck in relationships long after they’ve stopped feeling truly fulfilled. The challenge is

Modern dating leads to burnout for a lot of people, especially those who use the apps. In my brand new video, I break down why so many people feel burnt out, disillusioned, and emotionally drained by today’s dating culture. From endless swiping to getting ghosted to dating defensively out of fear of rejection, it's tough out there. And unfortunately, many people are no longer dating to find connection, but simply trying to avoid getting hurt. I explore why burnout has become so common, how heartbreak quietly follows people back into the dating pool, and the subtle ways modern dating trains us
