    When Drinking Stops But Life Continues: A Conversation with Zena Hall

    What actually happens inside a relationship when one partner decides to stop drinking — and the other doesn’t? In this powerful and deeply relatable episode, Matt sits down with Alcohol Freedom Coach Zena Hall, who shares her inspiring journey from being a “normal social drinker” to completely transforming her life through sobriety. What started as a simple Dry January became a turning point that brought more energy, clarity, confidence — and a completely different understanding of herself and her relationships. Together, they dive into the emotional, psychological and relational layers no one talks about: 💛 Inside This Episode: The unexpected identity crisis that comes with reducing or quitting alcohol How alcohol quietly shapes communication, patience, conflict, and intimacy Why partners may feel threatened, defensive, or judged when one chooses sobriety The subtle pressure from friends, family and social groups to “just have one” Why alcohol feels like it’s giving you something — but is actually taking away The impact of poor sleep, anxiety, and brain fog that we normalize How to handle relationships where drinking habits suddenly don’t match What self-trust, self-respect, and “choosing yourself” really look like in practice The power of self-leadership when your lifestyle changes challenge the status quo Zena and Matt explore the reality many people experience but rarely say out loud: When you change your relationship with alcohol, every other relationship in your life shifts too. This episode is for you if: ✔ You’ve thought about drinking less ✔ You feel pressured to drink to “fit in” ✔ You’re changing — but your partner isn’t ✔ You want more self-awareness, emotional resilience, and clarity in your relationship ✔ You’re curious about what alcohol secretly does to your body, brain, and confidence Filled with honesty, science-backed insights, humour and warmth, this conversation will leave you feeling informed, empowered and deeply understood. A must-listen for anyone exploring self-growth, healthier relationships, or a life beyond drinking.

    Beyond Attraction: Navigating the Real Stages of Love with Thomas M. Jones

    Why do we get into relationships in the first place? What draws us to one another… and what happens after the spark? In today’s episode, we explore the five stages of relationships, the emotional signatures that shape them, and how we can navigate them consciously — clearing emotional charges, outdated patterns, and limiting beliefs along the way. If you’ve ever wondered why attraction fades, why conflict arises, or how to tell if someone is truly aligned with your deeper vision — this episode is for you. Thomas M. Jones is a psychotherapist, author, musician, and the brain behind The Paradox Process, a powerful technique that transforms negative thoughts into powerful tools for personal growth and success. Standby to learn Why do we get drawn into relationships in the first place through physical, emotional spiritual ways that we ‘plug into each other’ How our culture tends to favour instant gratification, and leading us to ‘throw away’ relationships due to misunderstandings even when they have potential Why relationships can be very intense initially, even magical while even having challenges if we succumb to the illusion of things being perfect The challenges that emerge when we realise that the other person is not exactly what we thought… can we go deeper to explore an opportunity? The danger of getting ‘hooked’ on the excitement of the start of the relationship, and how seeking the next hit can get to be addictive The importance of developing and exploring what an ‘us’ could be, that we could create together How we can have a mismatch in how we see the relationship, where one person is looking at a longer term possibility, while the other may not be looking for the same thing How we grow and that the growth can either be together or separately, which can have natural impact on the relationship How disappointment can seep into a relationship in the form of judgement, and how we can fall in love with potential in our partner rather than accepting the actual person as they are Find out more about Thomas M.
