Entering a relationship doesn’t mean giving up who you are — but it does mean being willing to grow.

In Episode 5 of Real Mental Health, Kevin Nahai reminds us: you're not just “Mr. Independent” anymore. Becoming a partner, a husband, a parent — that takes maturity and change.

But here’s the key: growth is healthy. What’s not reasonable? Expecting someone to abandon their core values or personality traits.

True love asks for evolution, not erasure.

You can either be right or be at peace — but not both.

In relationships, the most underrated but powerful skill is humility.
That means putting your ego aside, listening deeply, and valuing your partner’s perspective — even when you know you’re right.

The success of your relationship will depend on how willing you are to choose connection over control.

Social media and dating apps are changing our standards — but not always for the better.

In Episode 5 of Real Mental Health, Dr. Mike Mah explains how constantly seeing curated perfection online is tricking us into setting unrealistic expectations for relationships.

We're not falling in love with real people — we're falling for filtered highlights and digitally crafted illusions.

Swipe culture convinces us that “Mr. or Mrs. Perfect” is just one more tap away... but that illusion could be keeping you from real connection.

How do you know if you're settling in a relationship?

Kevin Nahai says it simply: if you'd strongly advise your own child not to be in the relationship you're in… you're settling.

Love isn’t supposed to come at the cost of your standards, your peace, or your future.

Sometimes the hardest truth to face is the one we’d shout from the rooftops if someone we loved were in our shoes.
