You built the life. The career, the apartment, the income, the whole external picture — and you're proud of it. As you should be.

So why does it still feel like something's missing?

Today we're talking about the hollow feeling that shows up after the achievement. And the hollow that can show up inside the relationship, too — the one that's somehow lonelier than being single, because you're supposed to be grateful for all that you have, so you don't say anything. You just manage it.

If either of those landed somewhere in your body just now, this episode is for you.

We get into why so many men feel valued for what they provide rather than who they actually are, and what that costs over time. We also talk about something that doesn't get said nearly enough in the dating space: that so much of the conversation is oriented around getting the relationship, as if the relationship is the finish line. What I've come to believe - personally and professionally - is that “getting” the relationship is actually where the real work begins. And if you haven't done some of that work before you get there, you can find your person and still end up lonely.

A note before you dive in: I'm taking a short break after this one, so there won't be a new episode next week; don’t worry, I'll be back the week after that. In the kindtime, this one will be here - and honestly, it might be worth a second listen.
