What Are We Really Looking For? - w/ Luc McLaughlin

EP10 – Unfiltered & Undistracted: Identity, Dating, and the Work That Breaks Us

This episode had no plan. No outline. No pressure. Just a real-time, unscripted conversation between two men reflecting on the tension we all feel—but rarely talk about.

Luc McLaughlin joins me for a powerful sit-down that weaves through the struggles of modern identity, dating culture, self-sabotage, and the illusion of fulfillment through our jobs and roles.

What started as a casual catch-up turned into a raw exploration of the ways we posture, protect, and perform in everyday life—especially as men trying to figure it out in a world full of distraction and disconnection.

🧩 What We Dive Into:

• The truth behind dating apps & how they disconnect us from connection
• How we use productivity and purpose to mask deeper discomfort
• What it means to “work on yourself” without making it another performance
• Masculinity, vulnerability & why men need to talk more—and fix less
• The trap of chasing healing without checking your self-awareness
• Luc’s reflections on burnout, identity shifts & reclaiming simplicity

Whether you’re navigating burnout, questioning your own patterns, or just tired of surface-level talk—this one invites you to slow down and be with the truth of where you’re at.

Sometimes the realest episodes are the ones you don’t prepare for.
