Navigating the battlefield of modern love requires mastering both vulnerability and boundaries, as revealed in this powerful relationship wisdom episode featuring three of today's most insightful voices. Former Bachelor star Nick Viall discusses his dating journey from "love martyr" to genuine connection. Relationship coaches Matthew Hussey and Sadia Khan illuminate why many committed relationships fail when we prioritize intensity over true compatibility. They offer essential guidance for breaking toxic cycles and creating authentic connections that stand the test of time. And renowned therapist Esther Perel unpacks the polarities that both challenge and strengthen our bonds in marriage. Whether you're healing from heartbreak, questioning your patterns, or seeking to deepen your connection, these rare insights from relationship royalty will revolutionize how you love - and how you let yourself be loved.

In this episode you will learn:

  • How to navigate all 3 phases of relationship – dating, commitment, and marriage
  • How to distinguish between the intense feelings of chemistry versus the deeper foundation of compatibility in relationships
  • Why becoming a "love martyr" leads to staying in broken relationships and how to break this destructive pattern
  • The critical difference between validation and love, and how confusing the two creates unhealthy relationship dynamics
  • Three powerful questions to ask yourself after a breakup to heal with more grace and move forward
