How do you know when a relationship is over…
and you’re just afraid to admit it?

Too many people stay in relationships, careers, and routines that quietly destroy them—simply because comfort feels safer than change. In this raw and brutally honest episode, relationship coach and psychologist Catherine Kastany exposes the hidden ways we lose ourselves trying to keep love, peace, or stability alive.

From ignoring your intuition to confusing attachment with love, this conversation is the wake-up call people don’t realize they need.

This week, Josh sits down with Alex E. Edwards, author of Mortgage Before Marriage, to talk about the role money plays in modern relationships.

From financial red flags and emotional intelligence to prenups, dating with intention, and building wealth before marriage, this conversation challenges the idea that love alone is enough.

Most people think dating is about finding “the one.”

But what if the people having the best relationships… are just better at something most of us avoid?

Communication. The real kind. The uncomfortable kind.

In this episode, we sit down with George Goulburn—a man who’s been paid to be the “perfect partner”… and has seen what women actually want when the masks come off.

And here’s the twist:
It’s not what most men think.

You’re crushing it in your career… but your relationships? Not hitting the same.

In this episode, Joshua Jones and Anutza Bellissimo get real about the hidden trade-offs of being a high achiever—why ambition can quietly sabotage your love life, and the patterns no one warns you about.

We get into:

Why success can make emotional intimacy harder (not easier)

The subtle ways stress shows up in your relationships

The mindset shift that changes everything

If you’ve ever thought, “I have everything I wanted… so why does this part feel off?”—this one’s for you.

Because being the CEO of your life isn’t just about winning… it’s about not losing the people who matter along the way.

Most people don’t struggle with dating… they struggle with connection.

In this episode of The Not So Bad Bachelor Pad, Josh sits down with Paul Aaron Travis to break down why modern relationships feel so confusing—and why we keep repeating the same patterns even when we “know better.”

From ghosting and emotional unavailability to the addictive “spark” we chase, this conversation dives into what’s really happening beneath the surface.

We unpack:

• Why you’re attracted to people who aren’t good for you
• The psychology behind ghosting (and why it’s so damaging)
• Why dating apps didn’t break dating… they exposed us
• The difference between authenticity vs. performance in relationships
• How “authintimacy” (authentic + intimacy) changes everything
• Why loneliness, disconnection, and shallow interactions are rising

If you’ve ever felt alone inside a relationship… this one’s going to hit.

Because real connection isn’t about finding the perfect person—
it’s about being real enough to actually be seen.

Joining Josh inside the Bachelor Pad is Bella Krutik, relationship and feminine embodiment coach, opens up about heartbreak, healing, and the patterns that shape our love lives.

From divorce to deep self-discovery, Bella shares how presence, emotional awareness, and feminine embodiment can transform the way we show up in relationships.

This episode explores how pain can become a catalyst for growth—and how breaking old patterns can lead to more authentic connection.

Why do successful, self-aware women keep attracting emotionally unavailable partners?

In this episode of The Not So Bad Bachelor Pad, Josh sits down with trauma-informed relationship coach Lauren Venables to break down how unresolved trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and attachment patterns impact dating, intimacy, and emotional safety in modern relationships.

We explore the difference between chemistry and compatibility, why you might confuse intensity with connection, and how childhood experiences can influence partner selection later in life. Lauren shares practical tools for building emotional self-trust, setting healthy boundaries, and understanding masculine and feminine energy dynamics to create safer, more fulfilling relationships.

If you struggle with anxious attachment, avoidant partners, fear of vulnerability, or repeating toxic relationship patterns, this conversation offers actionable strategies for healing relationship trauma and developing secure attachment in dating and long-term partnerships.

Learn how to:

• Stop attracting emotionally unavailable partners

• Recognize trauma bonding vs real intimacy

• Build emotional safety in relationships

• Set boundaries without losing connection
