Sam became a double hand amputee overnight — and nothing about his life was the same afterward. In this deeply honest episode, Sam shares what it’s like to lose not just your hands, but your sense of normalcy, confidence, and control. We explore the emotional weight of trauma, from mourning the life you had to facing a world that suddenly feels inaccessible and unfamiliar. Sam speaks candidly about relearning daily routines, confronting anxiety and self-doubt, and redefining masculinity, independence, and self-worth. He reflects on how community, vulnerability, and storytelling helped pull him out of isolation and reminded him that he wasn’t alone in his experience. This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t linear, resilience isn’t glamorous, and strength often shows up quietly. It’s a powerful conversation about rebuilding identity, honoring grief, and choosing to keep going even when the path forward is unclear.

Eli doesn’t just talk about “dating app tips.” He pulls the curtain back on the whole system — because these apps are designed to keep you swiping, not to help you find a partner. In this episode, you’ll hear how men move on the apps (spoiler: it’s not deep analysis, it’s survival mode), why men get fewer matches, why women end up “CIA-agent screening” everything, and how both sides start treating humans like dopamine notifications. Eli also calls out the most common profile mistakes that sabotage you: confusing group photos, artsy mystery angles, one-line prompts with no substance, aggressive wounded bios, and IG handles that scream “I’m here for followers.” You’ll leave knowing what men notice, what they assume, and how to build a profile that filters out the unserious ones before you waste a single mascara application.

Eli breaks format and goes straight from the heart — reflecting on the fears he faced this year, the wounds that still sting, and what it really looks like to keep going when life isn’t cute. Because healing isn’t a movie. Sometimes it’s tears, shutdown, and still showing up anyway.

This episode is built like a personal wellness coaching session. Eli gives you a step-by-step “think day” framework to close out the year: write down your five fears, trace them to the first time you felt them, figure out what they’re protecting, and turn that into real action for 2026. Then he adds a second tool: asking your people what makes you unique — and what you need to hear going into the new year.

If you’re done chasing goals to feel “enough,” this is how you start building from self-worth instead.

In this episode, Eli and Meg Reynolds break down why modern dating feels harder than ever — and why so many people stay stuck in relationships that drain them. Meg introduces the idea of the “ambition gap,” explains why emotional availability matters more than money, and shares how she learned to walk away sooner instead of negotiating her needs. They talk low-effort dating, inconsistent communication, why “he’s just busy” is usually a red flag, and how boundaries aren’t ultimatums — they’re clarity. Honest, validating, and unfiltered, this conversation is for anyone tired of blaming themselves for wanting consistency, growth, and real emotional connection.

If the holidays make you feel like the only single person in a sea of matching pajama sets and forehead kisses, this episode will feel like a warm hug. Eli yaps, rants, and gets real about what it means to feel lonely during the “happiest time of the year” — even when you’re in a relationship. He breaks down how comparison steals your joy, why every emotion that surfaces right now is a teacher, and how to treat this season like a lesson in self-love instead of a reminder of what you don’t have.

You’ll learn how to set boundaries with messy family members, honor your capacity, lean into gratitude, and make this your season — not your ex’s, not society’s, not Instagram’s. If you’ve ever felt behind, broken, or “too much,” this episode is the reminder that your story has always been yours. And this time of year? It’s for you.

What happens when the life you built collapses overnight? Sahara Rose joins Eli for a profound conversation about feminine healing, spiritual awakening, and reclaiming your identity after betrayal. She shares how one devastating confession shattered her marriage—and how it initiated her into a deeper version of herself she didn’t even know existed. Sahara breaks down the truth about spiritual healing (hint: it’s messy, ugly, and absolutely necessary), why women stay in relationships that starve their souls, and how to stop living on breadcrumbs of love. They dive into sacred sexuality, the porn-driven crisis in masculinity, and how partners can create deeper emotional and spiritual intimacy. This episode is a powerful reminder that heartbreak isn’t the end—it’s the portal into your most aligned, awakened self.

If you’re exhausted by ghosting, low-effort conversations, and another “promising” match that fizzles out, this episode is your deep breath. Eli breaks down what dating burnout actually does to your nervous system, why you don’t have to be a “super dater” 24/7, and how to see your love life in seasons instead of a constant grind. He walks you through taking a real break (yes, deleting the apps), negotiating with your anxiety, and honoring your emotional capacity without giving up on love. This is about playing the long game, not sprinting into the wrong relationship out of fear.

If you’ve ever stayed in a relationship that looked great on paper but felt terrible in your body, this one’s for you. Eli shares a recent experience witnessing an ICE raid in Chicago — and connects it to why so many of us normalize anxiety in our love lives. He dives into anxious attachment, “cool girl” behavior, and the kind of partners who leave you scared to speak up. Together, you’ll unpack what emotional safety actually looks like, how to stop dating like you’re trying not to get in trouble with a parent, and how to see if someone has the capacity to hold your feelings. This episode is your invitation to stop performing, start telling the truth, and only invest in love that feels like a safe home, not a constant threat.
