Summary
“I’m not sure if you feel things the way I do,” she said. “I feel everything.” I was twenty-one, she was twenty-three. The window looked out at a brick wall in my Lower East Side apartment. “I have emotional needs, and you’re buried in your books and your work. You can see me.”
That was how it started on a Sunday afternoon. By Friday, I was helping her load CDs and tattered books into the trunk of a taxi. My first big breakup. Need to know more? Probably not. You’ve probably lived some version of this yourself, maybe more than once.
The quality of our lives are very much defined by the quality of our relationships, and that person next to you in bed is the most important relationship of all. So how are you doing with that? Do you have a plan? Are you growing or just getting by? Like most of us, it’s probably a work in progress.
On this week’s podcast, you’ll meet relationship expert Maya Diamond shares her experiences from her field work.
Listen and learn:
- How to determine and establish values and standards - and hold yourself to them
- Why emotional responsiveness is crucial to a lasting partnership
- Why men and women often express desires differently, but ultimately seek the same thing
- How to navigate online connections, text messages, and modern technologies in your love life

| 0:00.0 | I subscribe to this idea that everything in life can be lumped into one of three |
| 0:08.1 | buckets, health wealth or relationships and anything that doesn't fit in those |
| 0:12.4 | buckets I find it's not really important. |
| 0:15.1 | This podcast we focus mostly on health and the reason I've always done that is because it's the |
| 0:19.1 | easiest I think of the three. |
| 0:21.6 | You can start eating healthy, go to to the gym to a yoga class and |
| 0:24.2 | feel better tomorrow but try to sort out your relationships or your finances |
| 0:28.1 | within 24 hours with a positive impact that that's a tough thing I mean you can |
| 0:31.9 | certainly make baby steps but I |
| 0:33.7 | just find it to be a much much more difficult nut to crack but it's something |
| 0:38.2 | that's worthy. We have had a bunch of people recently on the show talking |
| 0:41.6 | about relationships and they've been really positively |
| 0:44.1 | received so I'm doing more and of course this is something that I'm always obsessed with and I was trying to improve |
| 0:49.5 | in my life as well. If you're new here it's the Lucas Rockwood show I'm your host I am a |

| 1:03.6 | psychologists, yoga teachers, and I try to bring their best research, their best |
| 1:07.4 | thinking, their best current thinking to you here to hopefully help you live |
| 1:10.6 | a more fulfilled life and of course I want to live one of those lives too. |
| 1:14.4 | On this week's show we'll be talking with a psychologist who focuses on helping women to find |
| 1:19.5 | their dream man. But whether you're a man or a woman, whether you're single or in a relationship, I think this discussion will reveal |
| 1:26.1 | some things that will at least help you to think through what you're doing a little bit more |
