How to Change a Mind?

People claim to be open-minded, but try to change their opinion on something, and you'll see the walls come up. Whether it's about relationships or a bad habit, resistance to change is strong. In this episode, we talk about 10 harsh truths about why our brains resist change so fiercely.
Confirmation bias, identity threats, and the agony of admitting we're wrong, we'll explain why facts aren’t enough to change your mind.
Do you think you can change someone's mind? Do you think YOU can change your mind? Listen now, question everything, thank me later.

Can You Ever Really Trust Someone?

In this episode, I get into the truth about broken trust, can you actually rebuild it, or is it gone forever? Whether it's relationships, family, or shady bosses, I break down what happens when trust is lost and why most people want the quick fix instead of doing the work.
Can trust can come back under the right conditions? Maybe, but almost nobody’s willing to do what it actually takes to get there.
Do you even want to rebuild it, or is walking away the smarter move? We'll try and straighten it all out for you. 

Do The Thing That Changes Everything

A listener named Bethany reached out to us. She has been considering starting a podcast for months. She has the name, the microphone, and the concept, but she hasn’t recorded anything yet. She's afraid it won’t be good enough.
Does this sound familiar? This episode is for Bethany and everyone else stuck in the perfectionism, procrastination, paralysis loop.
If you have an idea you haven’t acted on, or a project that’s been on your mind, and all you can think is, what if I do it, and it sucks? You'll want to have a seat, we're going to help you take the first step.
Because the only way to be good at something is to be bad at it first. It's time to get the bad over with. 

You Can't Be Anything You Want

Turns out, those feel-good pieces of advice we've probably all given are nothing but lies.
In this episode, we'll tackle 10 classic pieces of bad advice and explain why they keep people broke, stuck, single or miserable.
You’ve heard them all, now hear why they're all wrong.

A Horse a Piece

You’ve heard these phrases your whole life.
But have you ever stopped to ask what the hell they actually mean?
In this episode, we look at the bizarre origins of saying like, kick the bucket, riding shotgun, bite the bullet, and, you can take that to the bank!
Because since we keep saying this shit as if it makes sense, maybe we should find out what they actually mean. I got you! 

A Bike With no Seat

Girls Can Tell returns for season 2 with a quick update on what’s been happening and what’s coming next. 
Think of season two as sharper, meaner, and more uncomfortably honest episodes than ever before.

Secure Attachment

You’re not ghosting, chasing, or spiraling because someone didn’t text back in three hours. So, what the hell is wrong with you? Well, you just might be securely attached!
In the final part of our attachment style series, we’re describing what secure attachment actually looks like, how it’s built, and why it makes dating easier and a little less thrilling when you’re used to things being crazy. If you wonder whether you’re healthy or detached, we'll help you differentiate between the two. 

Anxious Attachment

Trick question, I made it up. However, it sounds like a nicer way of saying 'anxiously attached.' 
In part two of our series, we delve into the chasers, the nervous ones, and explain where this wiring originates. Explore how and why it disrupts relationships and discover ways to break the cycle. Whether you're the anxious one or your partner is, we all know someone anxious, and this episode will give you some things you can use today to improve your relationship.

Avoidant Attachment

You say you need space. They say they're just "really busy." But what if what you're calling independence is actually avoidant attachment? In this episode, Trent kicks off a multi-part series breaking down the psychology behind how we disconnect in relationships. Backed by psychological research, this first episode gets deep into the dismissive avoidant style. He explains where it comes from, how it plays out in modern dating, and why so many of you keep choosing these emotionally unavailable people. Or, you might discover that maybe you are the emotionally unavailable one!

She's Dating While Her Husband's Dying at Home

This one’s real. Real bios. Real photos. Real lies.
I went through my actual dating feed live and called out every ridiculous, half-assed, or straight-up manipulative profile I came across. But it doesn’t stop there. Because one profile wasn’t just bad, it was sick!
She’s a flight attendant, used her uniform in photos, and claimed to be single. What she didn’t mention? She’s married and her husband has a terrible illness. And she’s still out there swiping, flirting, and pretending none of it exists.
If you’re wondering what men are really thinking while they’re swiping, you’re about to find out. It’s unfiltered and brutal and long overdue.
New episodes every Tuesday.
