The Psychology of Why We Chase People Who Are WRONG for Us | Matt Monday

The Psychology of Why We Chase People Who Are WRONG for Us | Matt Monday

What if the reason your relationships haven’t worked isn’t about who you’ve been with, but about what’s been missing? In this episode with journalist and author Liz Moody, we explore why finding someone who truly understands you is far more important than a checklist of traits.


We also talk about why we’re drawn to the wrong people, and how to break free from those patterns. If you’ve ever felt stuck in love or wondered why you keep ending up in the same painful cycles, this is the episode for you.
