Love Life With Matthew Hussey

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 heart

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.

Happy New Year, Friend! Lately, I've been thinking a lot about the New Year's resolutions people make, and I'm curious how you're feeling about yours today. After indulging during the holidays, we often place our hopes in the hands of our future selves, determined that this will be the year everything changes. Of course, having goals is a good thing, but the biggest challenge with New Year's resolutions is how quickly they can buckle under the weight of our expectations. But it doesn't need to be that complicated. Whether you're stressed about the fact that the "you" who woke up today feels just like the "you" who woke up yesterday ... or you just want to ensure your love life goals actually happen this year, this brand-new episode is going to help you get into the right mindset for 2023.

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… → http://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" at 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.

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.

I do.  Having now coached for over 10 years on the topic of dating, I’ve seen the worst behaviors over and over again.  And if we don’t work on eliminating these toxic relationship habits, it doesn’t matter how attractive we are: we’ll always find a way to self-sabotage and drive our partner away.

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. --- Here’s what you really need to know... ►► FREE download: “9 Texts to Get Any Man” → http://www.9texts.com ►► FREE download: “5 Compliments to Get Him Addicted to Yo

You're on a date with someone. You're both sharing stories.  He tells you that he plays the guitar. You notice that he seems really proud when he tells you about playing his first gig. Then without missing a moment, you start enthusiastically telling him about your friend who's also in a band, is the best guitarist you've ever seen, and has just released and album. Suddenly, his eyes narrow and he seems emotionally checked out, maybe even less interested. Why? What happened? In this episode with my brother Stephen, I'm going to reveal a simple flirting mistake that is all too easily made, and why it's can be such a turnoff to guys in dating. --- >>> Want to learn more about the psychology of attraction in dating?

So in this episode, Matt, Stephen, Audrey and Jameson get together to discuss healthy vs unhealthy attitudes to porn, how to communicate your boundaries around porn in a relationship, and what to do when it becomes something that drives you apart.   ---   Email us!
