Matchmaker Maria is joined by clinical psychologist Dr. Melissa Robinson Brown to tackle the myth that women are "too successful" to find love. Together, they unpack how flawed studies and outdated media narratives have fueled this idea while sharing what modern research actually tells us about love, marriage, and divorce. Dr. Mel also opens up about how our parents influence who we choose as partners and why it's crucial to find someone who can walk with us through life's hardest moments. The conversation highlights how success can strengthen relationships, why financial stability matters, and how to rethink the "shoulds" we place on ourselves about marriage and timelines. Whether you're single, dating, or partnered, this episode offers no-nonsense insights into love, resilience, and building the kind of relationship that truly supports you.
