Summary

In this episode Matthew and Audrey sit down for a review of the last quarter of the year and dive into the hidden forces that shape our relationships with others and ourselves. 

They also discuss the perfectionism that keeps us from connection, overthinking texts, and the emotional blocks that hold us back in our relationships. Plus, they answer a listener's question on whether showing interest in someone inevitably drives them away, and how to strike the balance between authenticity and attraction.

Topics include:

  • Why the fear of being "too much" makes us play small in dating and friendships

  • The truth about why people pull away when we show interest—and how to handle it

  • How perfectionism sabotages your communication and creates disconnection

  • A simple but powerful quarterly reflection exercise to reset your year

  • Why overthinking texts can ironically make you seem distant or cold

  • The invisible difference between "connecting" and "protecting" modes in life

  • How to be more warm, proactive, and magnetic in your communication

  • What it really means to “create the culture” in your relationships
