I Wish You Knew

He was CIO at Dell managing a billion and a half dollar budget. And he could not tell if he was valued more than the piece of furniture he was sitting in. Most people are living with that same feeling without knowing what it is.

Adam Lane Smith sits down with John R. Miles, author of The Mattering Effect, to break down why the question “do I even matter?” is driving a global crisis and what it takes to build a life where your presence is felt rather than performed.

Stress has gone down by almost every historical measure. Suffering has gone up. Those turn out to be different things.

In this episode, attachment expert Adam Lane Smith sits down with psychiatrist Dr. Aaron Kheriaty to ask why despair is rising in a culture organized around comfort, what the attempt to eliminate all discomfort has cost, and what ordinary people can do for someone struggling. The conversation covers the research on loneliness and risk, why intervention works more often than people assume, and why small acts of attention matter more than they look like they should.

In this episode, attachment specialist Adam Lane Smith sits down with His Eminence Metropolitan Jonah, retired primate of the Orthodox Church in America, rector of St. Herman's Church and Abbot of St. Demetrios Monastery, for a conversation about what forms a man.

Metropolitan Jonah was born James Paffhausen in Chicago to a German American Episcopalian family, and was raised in Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Diego. While studying at the University of California, he discovered the Russian Orthodox Church and was received into the faith in 1978 at age 19. After completing his BA in Anthropology at UC Santa Cruz, he attended St. Vladimir's Seminary, earning both a Master of Divinity and a Master of Theology in Dogmatics. He later worked in real estate finance and for the OCA Diocese of the West, and resumed doctoral studies in theology at Berkeley before traveling to Russia in 1993, where he became a novice at Valaam Monastery. Upon returning to the United States, he was ordained a hierodeacon and then a hieromonk in 1994, serving St. Mary Magdalene Mission in Merced, California, and helping to establish several new missions.

ADHD, attachment, trauma, anxiety, and stress can look surprisingly similar. So how do you know what you’re actually dealing with?

6 - Why the quiet, high-achieving kid is often missed while the disruptive one is caught early
7 - What a thorough assessment includes, and why medication is one tool rather than the whole plan
8 - Practical systems: the five minute rule, the Eisenhower matrix, timed sprints, and breaking distant goals into visible wins
9 - For parents: why yelling works in the moment and costs you later, and what connection over correction looks like
10 - For partners: written lists over spoken ones, clear targets, shared activity, and time-limited conversations

Trying harder to fix your marriage can leave you exhausted, resentful, and convinced you’re married to a man who doesn’t care. In this episode of I Wish You Knew, Adam Lane Smith sits down with The Surrendered Wife author Laura Doyle to challenge what happens when fear turns into control, why stepping back can give a capable husband room to step forward, and how desire, receptivity, gratitude, and respect can change the dynamic between husband and wife.

🎥 Watch my main channel on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCBO093GsMmnA9tb8lZPhbgg

In this episode you will learn:

1- Why overperforming in your marriage can leave you feeling like the only responsible adult
2- What can happen when you stop automatically taking over and give your husband room to contribute
3- Why “he doesn’t care” may not tell the whole story when your husband doesn’t know what would actually make you happy
4- How the phrase “I would love…” communicates a desire without turning it into criticism or a demand
5- Why receiving help, affection, gifts, and care can be difficult for women who are used to handling everything themselves
6- How gratitude can change both the way you see your husband and the way the two of you respond to each other
7- Why respect and a clean apology can restore connection faster than defending or explaining your criticism

You don’t have to carry every responsibility, anticipate every problem, and manage your husband into becoming the partner you want. Sometimes changing the marriage starts with making your desires clear, allowing him the opportunity to respond, receiving what he gives, and noticing what happens when you stop treating control as the only thing keeping your life together.

2- What Mark calls the psychological apocalypse, and why the collapse may have already happened
3- The four connections modernity severed: to the body, to community, to nature, and to a higher power
4- Why treating yourself as a machine is the same habit that lets you treat everyone else as one
5- What co-regulation actually is, and why it’s more than therapy
6- Why chasing pleasure as a cure tends to land people somewhere worse
7- Where to start: one embodied practice you can fall in love with, and how to pick the one that fits what you're missing

You don’t need to think your way back into connection. Sometimes the way back to yourself, other people, and the world around you starts with learning to inhabit your own body again.

Most women use therapy as a metric for whether a man is ready for marriage. Most couples therapists are operating from a framework that was never designed with men in mind. And one licensed professional clinical counselor has seen enough that he is leaving the field entirely.

Adam Lane Smith sits down with Jeff Saint James, licensed professional clinical counselor and men's issues specialist, to break down what modern therapy is getting wrong about men, why couples therapy is failing husbands at an alarming rate, and what women need to understand about the men they love that nobody in the mental health field is telling them.

What you will learn in this video:
1- Why therapy as a metric for a healthy man is one of the most misleading filters women are using today
2- Why the couples therapy field is operating from assumptions that actively harm men and what those assumptions are
3- Why paternity fraud is one of the most underreported and destructive forces in modern relationships
4- Why men in survival mode cannot express their needs and what happens to a relationship when that continues for years
5- What masculine leadership actually looks like and why it is not what most women were told to be afraid of
6- Why gratitude and respect do more for a marriage than almost any therapeutic intervention
7- Why men and women are suffering in the same relationships without either one being able to see what the other is carrying

If you love a man and want to understand what is actually happening inside him, this is the conversation that will change how you see him.

Jeff St. James is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), relationship strategist, and host of the Ask a Brotha podcast. Combining clinical expertise with candid cultural commentary, he helps people build emotionally safe, accountable relationships while tackling modern dating, emotional safety, and family dynamics.

You are genuinely loved. Your partner is loyal. And you still cannot breathe out and relax all the way. That is not a character flaw. It is a biochemical problem. And it has a biochemical answer.

Adam Lane Smith sits down with Dr. Sue Carter, the world's leading expert on oxytocin and vasopressin bonding, to break down exactly why some people cannot feel safe even when they are safe, what chronic fear does to the body over a lifetime, and what the science of love hormones actually tells us about how human beings bond, heal, and survive.

What you will learn in this video:

1- Why you can be genuinely loved on paper and still be physically unable to feel that safety and what is actually happening in the body when that occurs
2- Why oxytocin is an extraordinary molecule and a terrible drug and what that distinction means for every person buying oxytocin spray
3- Why stress is not inherently bad and why shared challenge is actually one of the most powerful bonding mechanisms available to couples
4- Why the body encodes negative experiences differently than positive ones and what that means for people trying to heal
5- Why fathers who help raise their children live measurably longer and what the research says about sociality and longevity
6- Why novelty and shared experience produce more bonding than sitting on a couch together ever will
7- Why love connection and oxytocin are nature's medicine and why you cannot buy them on the internet

If you have ever wondered why safety feels impossible to feel even when it surrounds you, this conversation will give you the science behind what is happening and what can actually change it.

Adam Lane Smith sits down with Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, psychiatrist, medical ethicist, and author of Making the Cut, to break down what modern psychiatry is getting catastrophically wrong, why the chemical imbalance model is not just incomplete but actively harmful, and what actually heals people when medications and therapy alone are not enough.

What you will learn in this video:

1- Why reducing mental illness to a chemical imbalance in the brain has produced a generation of people who believe they will never get better
2- Why psychiatrists are seeing numbers on a sheet instead of people and what the system that created that looks like from the inside
3- Why physical activity four times a week is as effective as antidepressants for mild to moderate depression and why nobody tells patients that
4- Why relationships are the single strongest predictor of outcomes even in the most severe mental illnesses including schizophrenia
5- Why people in third world countries with schizophrenia often do better than people in industrialized nations and what that reveals
6- Why modern life has become voluntary solitary confinement and why dopamine binges have replaced human connection
7- Why the loneliness epidemic cannot be solved by more therapists and what actually has to happen instead
8- What Dr. Kheriaty would change about American psychiatry if he had absolute power and control

If you have ever been handed a prescription and sent home and felt like something essential was being missed, this conversation will show you exactly what that something was.

He built one of the most controversial dating sites in the world. He told every woman upfront on day one that he did not believe in marriage. And then he met Dana. And everything changed.

Adam Lane Smith sits down with Brandon Wade, founder of Seeking.com, and his partner Dana to break down what it actually takes to win an avoidant man's heart.

What you will learn in this video:

1- Why Brandon spent years believing love was a concept invented by poor people and what changed his mind
2- Why radical honesty on a dating profile attracted the right person faster than anything else
3- Why dating apps give you quantity but why quality requires something completely different
4- Why 65 percent of couples once met through family and friend networks and what the collapse of that has done to modern relationships
5- What women are actually looking for underneath the surface and why financial safety is not gold digging
6- Why men who pursue skill mastery and competence are automatically more attractive and how Brandon proved it
7- Why avoidant men build layers of ego and what the one thing is that finally brings those walls down
8- What secure attachment actually looks like inside a real relationship between two people who almost never found each other

If you have ever wondered whether an avoidant man can actually change, this conversation is your answer.

She lost her mother to a brain aneurysm. Then three years to the day, her 26 year old husband died of a heart attack. She was a therapist who had studied grief and still felt completely unprepared for what it actually felt like.

Adam Lane Smith sits down with Amy Morin, therapist and bestselling author of “13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do”, to break down what mental strength actually is, why resilience is not the same as just bouncing back, and what people with anxious attachment specifically need to hear about building the capacity to survive hard seasons without losing themselves.

What you will learn in this video:
1- Why resilience is not about bouncing back and what mental strength actually looks like from the inside
2- Why stopping certain behaviors is often easier and more powerful than starting new ones
3- What learned helplessness is and why understanding it changed everything about how Amy works with people
4- Why anxiously attached people are uniquely vulnerable to the 13 thinking traps that drain mental strength
5- Where the line is between helping someone grow stronger and accidentally making them helpless
6- Why chasing someone who disrespects you costs you more than the relationship ever gave you
7- What to do when you are at the bottom and even the thought of doing 13 things sounds like too much
8- How to teach your children emotional regulation without hiding your hard moments from them

Adam Lane Smith sits down with Ralph Brewer, author of The Dead Bedroom Fix and founder of Dad Starting Over, to break down what actually happens to a man after infidelity and divorce, why so many men get stuck trying to recover alone, and what the woman who loves a divorced man needs to understand about the fear he is still carrying.

Money is in the top three reasons for divorce in America. But most couples fighting about money are not actually fighting about money. They are fighting about safety, worth, and trust.

Adam Lane Smith sits down with Rachel Cruze, financial expert and bestselling author, to break down why money fights are almost never about money, what your attachment style is doing to your finances, and how to finally get on the same page with your partner before the fight becomes a crisis.

What you will learn in this video:
1- Why avoidant people hoard money and anxious people overspend and why both come from the same wound
2- Why joint accounts get more hate on social media than any other financial advice and what that reaction actually reveals
3- Why the prenup conversation is not about divorce but about whether you are building a team
4- Why four generations of women were told men cannot be trusted and how that is running marriages today
5- Why money fights are marriage problems in disguise
6- Why the man who earns more and still feels worthless is an attachment problem not a financial one
7- Why working together to pay off debt improves marriages even when nobody taught a marriage class
8- What to do when one partner is a saver and one is a spender and neither can understand the other
9- Why 49 percent of Gen Z women say having children is no longer important and what is underneath that number

If money has been a source of fighting, hiding, or distance in your relationship, the problem probably started long before the bank account did.

👉 Avoidant people hoard money. Anxious people overspend. Both patterns come from the same wound, and neither one gets fixed by a budget.

Women today are not being liberated. They are being turned into commodities. Their insecurities are being weaponized, their dopamine systems are being hijacked, and the loudest voices telling them this is freedom are the ones profiting from their destruction.

Adam Lane Smith, The Attachment Specialist, sits down with Freya India, author of Girls and one of the most important young voices writing about what is actually happening to women today, to break down exactly how modern culture is pulling women apart from themselves, from men, and from the possibility of real connection. This is not a culture war video. It is an attachment science and cultural psychology breakdown of why young women have never felt more anxious, more alone, or more convinced the problem is them.

What you will learn in this video:

1- Why young women are not lonelier than ever but have so many simulations of connection they never get lonely enough to do something about it
2- Why social media did not create new insecurities in girls but amplified the existing ones at a scale no previous generation ever faced
3- Why one piece of pornography produces 21 times the dopamine of a real sexual experience and what that is doing to men and to the women who love them
4- Why most men have not had a hug since the age of ten and what that loneliness is producing in their relationships
5- Why avoidant attachment in women is rising and why it is almost always a defense mechanism not a personality
6- Why young women are having sex on the first date because they believe if they do not someone else will
7- Why women's moral instincts are being reframed as insecurity and what they lose when they stop trusting them
8- Why the therapy content telling women to have no emotions is describing the opposite of secure attachment
9- What it actually looks like to step off social media and see clearly for the first time
10- Why young women are not the problem and what actually is

If you have a daughter, a niece, a sister, or a young woman in your life who has convinced herself the problem is her, this conversation will give you language for what you have both been watching happen.

Women have been given two options. Be silent and submissive or be independent and need nothing. Neither one produces a loving, safe, intimate family. Neither one is what most women actually want. And most women have never been shown a third way.

Adam Lane Smith, The Attachment Specialist, sits down with January Donovan, founder of The Feminine Revival and one of the most important voices on authentic femininity today, to break down why women have lost the skills of womanhood, where that loss actually came from, and what reclaiming genuine feminine strength looks like without submission and without the boss babe mask.

This is not a culture war video. It is an honest conversation about what women actually want, why five generations of trauma have made it almost impossible to trust men enough to get it, and what changes when women finally stop performing and start building something real.

What you will learn in this video:

1- Why fragile femininity and vicious feminism are both producing the same result and why neither is what women actually want
2- Why women today do not know how to be women and why that is not their fault
3- The generational wound that has been passed from great grandmother to grandmother to mother and how it is still running women's relationships today
4- Why the metric women are being measured by was built for men and what that has cost women at the deepest level
5- What feminine genius actually is and why the culture stripped it out of women without most of them noticing
6- Why spiritual motherhood is not about having biological children and who it is actually for
7- Why women fear wanting a man and what it actually takes to rewire that fear at the neurological level
8- Why men are not the ones who need to lead the cultural revival and what women have to do first
9- What it looks like when a woman steps fully into her feminine strength without losing herself

If you have felt torn between independence and connection, between strength and softness, this conversation will show you that the two were never meant to be at war.

She is exhausted, overwhelmed, and carrying a running list in her head that never stops. And he has no idea it exists. Not because he does not care. Because nobody ever showed him what it actually is or what it is costing her.

Adam Lane Smith, The Attachment Specialist, sits down with Dr. Morgan Cutlip, the world's leading expert on the mental load, to break down exactly what the mental load is, why most men completely miss it, and what it actually takes to fix it without destroying the marriage in the process. This is not a lecture about fairness. It is an attachment science and relationship psychology breakdown of why the invisible labor of home and family life is quietly building resentment in millions of marriages and what both partners can do about it right now.

What you will learn in this video:

1- What the mental load actually is and why most men only see one third of what their wife is actually carrying
2- The triple threat of physical mental and emotional labor and why one item on a to do list unpacks into something enormous
3- Why the mental load crowds out the mental real estate required for desire and what that means for your sex life
4- Why men change for pain and consequences not for love and what that means for this conversation
5- Why resentment builds silently for years before it explodes as divorce
6- The exact words a man can say to a wife who has felt dismissed for years that will not blow the whole thing up
7- Why the weekly check-in changes everything and what it actually looks like in practice
8- What women need to get clear on before they can ever communicate what they need
9- Why running your marriage like a business and treating your wife like talent you cannot afford to lose changes the dynamic overnight

If she is carrying everything and he does not know where to start, this conversation will show both of you exactly what to do next.

Most women have been trying to understand men the same way they understand other women. And it has never worked. Not because men are broken, but because nobody ever showed her how they actually work.

Adam Lane Smith, The Attachment Specialist, sits down with Alison Armstrong, one of the world's leading experts on understanding men and the author of The Queen's Code, for a conversation years in the making. Together they break down why men and women keep missing each other, what women get catastrophically wrong about men, and what changes everything when a woman finally learns to see a man for what he actually is.

What you will learn in this video:

1- Why men are actually more naturally committal than women and what is getting in the way of that commitment
2- Why the testosterone soaked brain is built for focus and why interrupting that focus is not just annoying but genuinely disruptive to his peace
3- Why a man working 16 hour days and giving everything he has can still hear that he is not enough
4- Why men concealing things from their partners is not dishonesty and what it actually is
5- Why respect matters more to most men than love and why women resist saying it even when they feel it
6- Why a man cannot commit to something he believes he cannot win at and what that means for marriage
7- Why 95 percent of a woman's happiness depends on herself and not on him and why that is actually good news
8- Why men scan for complementary strengths in a partner and why women compete instead of complement

If you have ever felt misunderstood by the man in your life, or if you are a woman who cannot figure out why nothing you try is working, this conversation will show you exactly what has been missing.
