    What Men Want vs What Women Want: Is it Mars & Venus ?

    What do men really want in a partner? What do women look for? And do those priorities change as we get older? In this solo episode, Elliott explores one of the biggest debates in dating and relationships: are men and women actually looking for different things, or are we all searching for the same qualities in different ways? From physical attraction and personality to financial security, confidence, ambition, trust, morals and lifestyle compatibility, Elliott breaks down the key traits people commonly look for in a partner and asks whether our priorities evolve through different stages of life. Do men continue to prioritise physical attraction as they age? Do women place less importance on financial security once they've built successful lives of their own? And what happens when the children leave home and couples are left looking across the table at each other for the first time in years? This episode also explores:• Why physical attraction remains important for many people• The role of confidence versus arrogance• Why trust and reliability become increasingly valuable• Whether independence strengthens relationships• How ambition influences attraction• The impact of shared morals and values• Why lifestyle compatibility matters more than many realise• The traits we think we want versus the traits we actually need Most importantly, Elliott asks listeners to reflect on their own choices: What are your top five relationship traits today? And are they the same as they were ten or twenty years ago? Join the conversation and let us know your thoughts.

    “When You Lose the One You Love: Grief, Guilt & Learning to Live Again”

    What happens when moving on isn’t a choice… but something life forces on you? In this deeply honest episode, I’m joined by Jo, who lost her husband after a long battle with cancer. Together, we talk about what grief really looks like beyond the first year — the guilt of moving forward, the fear of being judged, and the reality of rebuilding a life you never planned to live alone. This isn’t about “getting over it.”It’s about learning to carry love, loss, and life at the same time. We cover:– The difference between losing someone and breaking up– Why grief can hit harder years later– The guilt of finding happiness again– Dating, loneliness, and starting over– How to take the first steps forward (even when it feels impossible) If you’ve ever lost someone, or know someone who has — this conversation matters. This is not advice. It’s just a conversation.
