Summary

What if the first “fight” in a new relationship isn’t a red flag at all? Maybe it’s your first real chance to see how you both show up when things get real . . . and whether you can grow together on the other side of it.

This week on the Love Life Podcast, Matthew breaks down the early conflicts most of us dread, why attachment styles hijack our reactions, and how a moment that feels like the end of chemistry can be the beginning of something deeper.

You’ll walk away with tools for arguing in ways that build respect and actually bring you closer. If you’re dating, in a relationship, or hoping to be one day . . . today’s podcast may be your new secret weapon.
