No sugarcoating. No fantasy. Just clarity.

Most people think closure is a final conversation.
A clean goodbye.
An apology that makes it all make sense.
But what if closure isn’t real?
What if it’s just a story we tell ourselves to keep someone emotionally close — hoping they’ll come back, change their mind, or finally say “I’m sorry”?
In this episode, Joey Francess breaks down why closure is a myth — and how to heal without it.
Drawing from his book Fate Is Bullshit, Joey shares two powerful tools for emotional release and clarity:
Through real stories, audience prompts, and grounded emotional logic, you’ll learn how to:
This isn’t about getting closure.
It’s about creating it.
It’s about choosing healing — even when they never said goodbye.

Ask yourself, how important is it that someone matches your effort, your energy, your love? I am someone who believes that matching energy is one of my top needs. If that isn't there, where's the intent, the will, the want to be with someone? How serious does dating or a relationship feel if we always have to beg or prove or show up when the other party doesn't.... This week we explore this and the importance of Reciprocal Love.

This week we explore that further including my dating past...For more information on my books and services, JoeyFrancess.comMessage me your question or story!

What a question right... The problem is when we talk to a lot of people and date a lot of people without any real success, we start to question ourselves, hell even our own existence. Are we asking for too much? Are we even deserving of it?
Well, this week I answer those questions for you. As well as help you figure out your list of wants to maybe streamline it to help you find success.

Knowing what you want is a very powerful thing, but do we attack people with deep questions to soon? Do we not wait to tell someone all our traumas and life stories?
This week I tackle that deep question, too much too soon. When and how we should approach this or if there is even a timeline you should follow.

There seems to be an issue in making and keeping friends as an adult. Apparently without that childlike wonder and honesty we have a massive problem making and keeping friends. This problem compounds when we think of adults moving to a new country or becoming single and starting a new life. Married friends don't necessarily have the time for us and definitely don't have the same objectives when going out (Unless some funny business is going on). In this week we talk about how to make and keep friends as an adult and what might be holding you back.

Growth and Change, two things that are 100% inevitable. It may not be on the four front of our minds or even something we think about at all, but it is always happening. This is where you ask yourself, should you be self aware about it or don't think about it and just focus on being happy. This week I dive in to the differences of types of growth and whether or not you should focus on it.

I know, I'm nuts right! With so much going on in our lives who has the time or even emotional capacity to think this way. The fact of the matter is the effort you put in directly effects the outcome. If you do it half assed, chances are you'll get half assed dates. If you don't have the time to invest in someone, then someone won't have the time to invest into you. Intention plus Effort!

Some of us know exactly whom we are. Exactly what we want. But others, not so much. We might treat others with the most respect and compassion but never ourselves, to the point of our own pain and failure. Do you reflect on your past to help you guide yourself through the Future? This week we dive deeper into what makes us, us. And maybe we should all be doing more for ourselves.

It's as simple as the title states, learn to be more considerate. So many times we think we are being nice but when we aren't interested in someone our level of niceness kinda drops. Whether its the length of time we take to respond to a text, or whether or not we keep them around for when we are bored even though we are interested in them at all. These are human beings we are dealing with, and as much as we think we are being nice, maybe if we were in their position we would think differently.

And what does this question mean exactly.... Shouldn't we be with people who validate us? Of course, but is that the only reason? To create a partnership with another human being, a lifelong journey with another person, it takes a lot of different parts and feelings. At the same time, we could enter in such a relationship because our main need seems like it's being met. To the determent of other parts of our life. It can get complex and messy, hopefully self-awareness prevails.

A lot of us tend to think that being single means we are alone. The funny thing is, in a lot of cases that isn't the case. We have families and friends and even coworkers that care about us more then we think. But its when we get into our heads that this train of thought really starts to hurt us. Let's talk about that more and discover why that might be....

An interesting question I know.... Whom do you attract vs whom do you choose? We love to pass the blame and not take accountability for our choices. And granted if someone seems perfect and doesn't do anything wrong but one day does, that's not your fault. But if they continue to wrong you and you don't do anything , now it's a choice. Why are you choosing them? Why do you think it's based on who you attract? Why don't you think you deserve better?

Communication and Acceptance - The Foundation to all relationships. I know it's a very basic thought, but without communication, we would essentially die. I know it's weird to think about, but even something as simple as a baby crying is telling us somethings up. As for acceptance, if we cannot accept someone, whether it be a job they need to do for us, or as a romantic partner, or even as a friend, we will never trust them fully. And that is not worth having, not in life and not in my head.

Ohhh, the age old question, could men and women be friends?

This week we explore the world of chasing. Why, why not, and what's the point? Do you agree it's the right thing to do? Does it get you what you want? The definition of chasing literally means to go after something that doesn't want to be caught.

We are all a product of our environment. That also means we take things with us, the voices of those who made an impact on our lives. Unfortunately, those voices aren't always good. They could be holding us back from what we truly desire. In this episode I take a deeper look at who we are actually listening to and if it's helping us or hindering us.
