Eli breaks format and goes straight from the heart — reflecting on the fears he faced this year, the wounds that still sting, and what it really looks like to keep going when life isn’t cute. Because healing isn’t a movie. Sometimes it’s tears, shutdown, and still showing up anyway.

This episode is built like a personal wellness coaching session. Eli gives you a step-by-step “think day” framework to close out the year: write down your five fears, trace them to the first time you felt them, figure out what they’re protecting, and turn that into real action for 2026. Then he adds a second tool: asking your people what makes you unique — and what you need to hear going into the new year.

If you’re done chasing goals to feel “enough,” this is how you start building from self-worth instead.

In this episode, Eli and Meg Reynolds break down why modern dating feels harder than ever — and why so many people stay stuck in relationships that drain them. Meg introduces the idea of the “ambition gap,” explains why emotional availability matters more than money, and shares how she learned to walk away sooner instead of negotiating her needs. They talk low-effort dating, inconsistent communication, why “he’s just busy” is usually a red flag, and how boundaries aren’t ultimatums — they’re clarity. Honest, validating, and unfiltered, this conversation is for anyone tired of blaming themselves for wanting consistency, growth, and real emotional connection.

If the holidays make you feel like the only single person in a sea of matching pajama sets and forehead kisses, this episode will feel like a warm hug. Eli yaps, rants, and gets real about what it means to feel lonely during the “happiest time of the year” — even when you’re in a relationship. He breaks down how comparison steals your joy, why every emotion that surfaces right now is a teacher, and how to treat this season like a lesson in self-love instead of a reminder of what you don’t have.

You’ll learn how to set boundaries with messy family members, honor your capacity, lean into gratitude, and make this your season — not your ex’s, not society’s, not Instagram’s. If you’ve ever felt behind, broken, or “too much,” this episode is the reminder that your story has always been yours. And this time of year? It’s for you.
