If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Why isn’t this working even though I care about them?” This episode is going to hit home. I’m sitting down with licensed therapist Jen Weaver to talk about one of the hardest truths in modern dating: that attraction and connection don’t always equal compatibility.
We get into why so many of us try to make relationships work that were never meant to be, how to tell when you’re forcing something, and the difference between emotional attachment and real alignment. Jen and I also talk about what it means when someone isn’t your person, how to let go without guilt, and why healthy relationships should feel natural, not exhausting.
If you’ve ever stayed because it felt almost right, or held onto someone because you hoped they’d become who you needed, this conversation is going to bring so much clarity and peace.

🔥 Spark Notes Version
Fun and chemistry don’t always mean compatibility.
You shouldn’t have to force someone to be your person.
Letting go can be the most loving thing you do for both people.
Healthy relationships feel peaceful, not pressured.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
