Who decided being single has to be a pit stop on the way to something better? In this episode, we're showing you how to make your single era the main event. Think solo date nights, orgasms (duh), reframing everything you thought you knew about singlehood, and building a life so good it turns heads. Being single isn't a gap, it's the glow-up. What We Cover in This Episode: Why singlehood isn't a “pause” in your life, it's the glow-up. We reframe being single as an expansive, intentional chapter, not something you're just surviving until your next relationship. How to build a life that turns you on. From friends to creativity to pleasure, we dive into what it means to design a life that lights you up from the inside out. The real reason timelines make you feel behind (and how to break free). We unpack the fear-based messaging around age, marriage, and milestones and how to stop letting them run your love life. How to date yourself with the same energy you'd give a partner. We walk through what it actually looks like to show up for yourself emotionally, romantically, and sexually. Tips for creating the perfect solo date night (that ends with pleasure, not loneliness). We share our go-to structure for solo dates—including a downloadable guide you can find HERE—to help you feel connected, sexy, and satisfied. Why redefining intimacy is key to thriving in your single era. We explore how to create intimacy through friendships, rituals, and self-connection no partner required. How to stop confusing being alone with being unworthy. We break down the loneliness lie and how to reclaim your worth, confidence, and joy while solo.

Last summer, I spent the second half of the season wandering through the South of France and the coast of Spain—and I came back changed. The Mediterranean lifestyle softened me, grounded me, and helped me step into the most radiant version of myself—mentally, emotionally, and yes… physically. It wasn't about restriction or hustle. It was about pleasure. Beauty. Slowing down. Eating better. Living better. DOWNLOAD: Mediterranean Goddess Glow Up Guide Here This summer? I'm staying home. But that doesn't mean I'm letting go of that dreamy, elegant, European rhythm.

Remember Why You LeftWrite down or mentally revisit the reasons why you walked away in the first place. If the situation was toxic, stagnant, or unfulfilling, remind yourself that time away hasn't necessarily changed those core issues.2. Romanticizing the Past Is a TrapIt's easy to look back and remember the good times while ignoring the bad. Be real with yourself—was it really as great as your nostalgia is making it seem?3. Create Boundaries & Stick to ThemIf you truly want to move forward, set clear boundaries. This means limiting or cutting off contact, unfollowing them on social media if necessary, and avoiding places or situations that might tempt you.4. Find Closure Within YourselfSometimes, we go back because we feel like we need closure. The reality is, closure isn't always something we get from others—it's something we give ourselves. Accept what happened, make peace with it, and move on.5. Keep Yourself Busy & FocusedWhen you're leveling up, you don't have time to backtrack. Fill your time with things that contribute to your personal growth—whether that's work, hobbies, self-care, or new relationships that actually align with your goals.6. Accountability HelpsTell a trusted friend or someone who truly supports your growth about your decision to move forward. They can help check you if you start slipping.7. Ask Yourself: What's Really Changed?Before even considering going back, ask yourself: What has actually changed? Have they shown consistent, long-term growth? Have you? If the answer is no, then it's just a cycle waiting to repeat itself.8. Trust That Better Is ComingYou don't need to settle for the past when your future holds something greater. Stay patient and open to new opportunities instead of revisiting old, familiar disappointments.

This week, we're unpacking the art (and struggle) of letting go — because if “just move on” was that easy, we wouldn't still be spiraling at 3AM. From people who romanticize their struggles to the ones who let pain turn them bitter, we're unpacking why some of us just can't seem to move on. And of course, we're asking: what does it actually mean to let go — and how do you do it when being hurt has become part of who you are? All this and more in this week's episode!

It also touches on the emerging concerns around substances like kratom and the journey through alcoholism, culminating in the transition to harder drugs. In this conversation, David Manheim shares his harrowing journey through addiction, exploring the transformation he underwent due to alcohol, the vibrant yet dangerous clubbing culture, and the toxic relationships that fueled his substance abuse. He recounts his experiences in rehab, the impact of trauma on his life, and the chaotic descent into crystal meth addiction. David reflects on the romanticization of toxic relationships and the profound effects of childhood trauma, ultimately leading to a cycle of addiction and isolation. His story is a raw and honest portrayal of the struggles faced in the battle against addiction and the quest for identity and belonging. In this conversation, David Manheim and Tony Becker delve into the complexities of addiction, recovery, and personal growth.

The discussion highlights the importance of community support, self-awareness, and the challenges of navigating eating disorders in recovery. Ultimately, Tony's story is one of resilience, transformation, and the power of connection in overcoming addiction. takeaways Addiction is a complex issue that requires compassion and connection. Support systems play a crucial role in recovery. Personal stories can help others feel less alone in their struggles. Music can be a powerful tool for reflection and healing. Community engagement is vital for those in recovery. Kratom is a controversial substance with both benefits and risks. Social media can become an addiction in itself. The journey through addiction often starts with seemingly harmless substances. Alcoholism can lead to severe consequences and treatment is often necessary. The transition to harder drugs can happen quickly after initial substance use. David's transformation through alcohol led to dangerous behaviors. Clubbing culture became a significant part of David's identity. Rehab was initially seen as a way to appease others, not for self-help. Tragedy struck with the loss of a loved one, escalating his addiction. David's relationship with meth became intertwined with his identity. Romanticizing toxic relationships led to further chaos in David's life. Childhood trauma had a lasting impact on David's mental health. The cycle of addiction often leads to isolation and despair. Trusting the wrong people can lead to devastating consequences. David's story highlights the complexities of addiction and recovery. Tony internalized a relationship that was more significant to her than to her partner. The influence of a new relationship helped Tony let go of her past. Tony's online activities provided affirmation but lacked monetization. The turning point in recovery came from a counselor's tough love. Tony's father's illness gave her perspective on her own struggles. Recovery is a gradual process, not a linear path. Community support was crucial for Tony's recovery journey. Tony's eating disorder emerged as a hidden struggle during recovery. The impact of loss can catalyze significant change in one's life. Tony's story emphasizes that recovery is just the beginning of a new life. titles The Struggles of Addiction and Recovery Support Systems in Recovery Reflections on Halloween and Personal Stories The Impact of Music and Loss Voicemails and Community Engagement Exploring Kratom and New Substances Social Media and Addiction Personal Stories of Drug Use The Journey Through Alcoholism The Transition to Harder Drugs From Partying to Pain: A Journey Through Addiction The Dark Side of Clubbing: Identity and Addiction Sound Bites "I wanna be where everybody does cocaine" "Rest in peace Phil Lesh" "I love Dopey stories from Grateful Dead" "Kratom has helped a lot of people" "I started to obsess over social media" "I blacked out the first time I drank" "I went to a party and got trashed" "I met a guy and I was very drunk" "I became a different person."

On December 9th, I'm opening my home for an exclusive event where I'll personally take you through my 12-step System, which has transformed thousands of lives. This is your invitation to MAXOUT in 2025. But make no mistake—this isn't for the timid. It's for those who want to crush the limits holding them back. There are limited spots left, so secure yours now at https://maxout2025.com. This week's episode is a taste of what you can expect from this amazing event... Romanticize Your Future: The Key to Unlocking Your Best Self Imagine if you could fall in love with your future. Not just daydream about it, but truly romanticize it in the same way you might cherish a loved one. When you care deeply about something, you protect it, nurture it, and give it the attention it deserves. Today, I'm challenging you to approach your future this way—to fall in love with the life you want to create. When you do, the way you show up in the world changes. You start seeing opportunities that were always there, but now they stand out, clear as day. The difference between winning and losing, success and failure, often comes down to a few pivotal moments. These moments define us, and being ready for them is critical. Life's big breaks don't come with a warning—they arrive when you least expect them. That's why preparation is everything. You can't rely on luck. Instead, you need to be consistently ready for those moments that could change your life. In this episode, I dive into how our thoughts shape our reality and how holding onto positive thoughts for just 15 seconds can shift your energy and set you up for success. I'll walk you through the concept of "thought stacking," where focusing on a thought for over a minute begins to reprogram your brain to notice opportunities that align with your goals. This isn't just about thinking happy thoughts—it's about creating a vibrational frequency that attracts the right people, opportunities, and circumstances into your life. I'm sharing strategies to interrupt negative patterns before they take root and how you can train your mind to stay focused on what you truly want, not what you fear. What if I told you that romanticizing your future could be the key to unlocking a life you can't wait to live? When you care for your future like you care for someone you love, you'll do whatever it takes to make it happen. You'll start seeing the world differently, and that's when life really starts to transform. So today, we're not just talking about setting goals or improving your mindset. We're talking about creating a future so compelling that you can't help but fall in love with it—and in the process, becoming the best version of yourself. Key Takeaways: The difference between success and failure often comes down to a handful of moments. Holding a thought for over 15 seconds can shift your vibrational frequency, attracting what you desire. Thought stacking can help you reprogram your mind to focus on positive outcomes. Romanticizing your future helps you care for it in a way that makes success inevitable. Interrupting negative thought patterns before they take root is essential to maintaining focus and control. So here's my challenge to you: Start romanticizing your future. Fall in love with the life you're building, treat it with the same care you'd give to something or someone you deeply cherish. Remember, you were born to do something great, and someone out there needs the best version of you. Let's make sure you're ready for that moment when it comes. And don't forget, to join me for “MAXOUT 2025" on December 9th for an exclusive event. This will be an intimate experience where you'll get to learn directly from me in my home.

In 2022, Sean and Rachel's daughter, Evita Duffy-Alfonso wrote an article for the Chicago Thinker, entitled “How The ‘Romanticize Your Life' Tik Tok Trend Is a Gen Z Rejection Of Postmodernism” The topic remains timeless — so the Duffys are looking back on their conversation with Evita about how Gen Z's continued trend of romanticizing everyday life is actually a form of rejecting postmodernism and the idea that life has no meaning.
