In Season 9, Episode 12 of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast, Izzy Baker sits down with Nick Brancato — a personal development and relationship coach, former teacher, and creator of the Total Difference Score framework — for a brutally honest look at why so many men keep choosing the wrong partners. Nick opens up about how a crisis in his own marriage pushed him to develop Prioritize Us, his practical system for helping couples align their values and expectations before misalignment turns into heartbreak.

 From teaching web development to coaching high-stakes poker players on decision-making, Nick demonstrates how the same self-discipline applies to love. If your daily actions don’t align with your intentions, your relationships will drift quickly. Together, Izzy and Nick break down the biggest red flags that men ignore, why so many keep trying to “fix” broken relationships instead of choosing wisely from the start, and the harsh truth about what happens when your spiritual life doesn’t guide your love life. They dig into real strategies for communicating your priorities without constant conflict, the risk you take when you avoid hard conversations, and why God’s design for love and sacrifice works — if you actually follow it.

 From Ephesians to Philippians, they connect biblical truth to modern dating struggles, including your first marriage being your trial marriage, and a candid conversation about prenuptial agreements that reminds men that commitment and sacrifice aren’t old-fashioned — they’re the only way to build something that lasts. If you’re tired of toxic patterns, endless situationships, and waiting for God to do what you won’t do for yourself, this conversation is your wake-up call.
