Summary

If finding love feels harder than ever in 2025, it’s not just you.

In today’s episode, I explore the cultural shifts and challenges that are fueling the “relationship recession.” Drawing inspiration from the Netflix series Adolescence, we’ll dive into the disillusionment many men are facing, the frustrations women are experiencing, and the hidden dynamics making connection feel so elusive.

From surprising stats to the subtle mindsets that sabotage us before love even begins, this video connects the dots. If you’ve ever wondered why someone amazing vanished after two dates—or why you might be pulling away yourself—this will explain what’s really going on and how to rise above it to create meaningful relationships. Let me know what you think!
