Why You NEED a 'Mattering Mindset' For Relationship Success

Are you settling for less than you deserve in your relationships? In this episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles explores the mattering mindset—a transformative approach to building deeper, more fulfilling relationships. Whether in dating, friendships, or long-term commitments, understanding your intrinsic worth is the key to attracting and sustaining meaningful connections.

Many people approach relationships from a place of scarcity, seeking validation or fearing abandonment. But what if the foundation of relationship success isn’t about finding the “right person” but becoming the person who knows they matter?

John breaks down:
✅ What a Mattering Mindset Is – How it shapes your approach to love, friendships, and self-worth.
✅ Why People Settle for Less – The hidden fears and self-perceptions that keep us stuck.
✅ The Science of Mattering – How micro-choices shape connection and commitment.
✅ How to Attract High-Quality Relationships – Moving from seeking love to being love.
