Since it’s the last week of the year and many readers are on vacation, I’m not doing a full Lovesplaining with the 1500-word post and the different categories. Instead, I wrote about something I’ve been feeling recently. I hope it resonates with you. I look forward to returning to our regular programming next week. 17 years ago, I had a therapist tell me: “Evan, life is like a hunk of Swiss cheese – and all you do is look at the holes.” This penchant for criticism has proven to be my deepest weakness. Magnifying flaws in others kept me single for many years and undermined some of my closest re ..read more

This is a typical question from clients in my Love U Live coaching program, but this time, I didn’t give my typical answer. Instead, I asked Yesica how she was responsible for creating this situation. She paused and replied: “Every time he says he’ll change, I continue to accept his words, despite his behavior.” This is what she believes. You may, too.

Women are faced with the dilemma of taking off time to become mothers; men are not expected to take paternity leave and fall behind in their careers. You work your way to the top and it’s still an old boys club that underrepresents women and devalues work/life balance for women. We can go on, and Jessica Grose does, in this article about the press ..read more

Note: This may be my most personal post in 20 years of writing online. Please read until the end. Thank you. My wife has been going through a tough time. I don’t want to overshare but she’s fighting a three-front battle that’s taking an emotional toll on her: She’s dealing with menopause. She’s sleeping poorly, she’s been ill-tempered, and she has little energy to do the things she once loved doing: planning parties and vacations. In short, she hasn’t been herself, she knows it, and she’s struggling with it. Our kids are growing up. My wife quit her 16-year career when our daughter was bor ..read more
