Are you in love with a person or a fantasy?

If you’ve ever asked yourself “Is this my soulmate?” this new episode is for you. (By the way, there was no Energy Update newsletter on Sunday because we hosted the June Energy Update on YouTube. You'll see it back in your inbox next week!)

In Episode 3 of The Timing Effect, we’re talking about the difference between love that liberates… and love that locks you in a loop of longing.

We’ve both been there-chasing chemistry, holding onto hope, and grieving people we thought were “the one.” But what we were really grieving wasn’t the person. It was the fantasy.

This conversation is one of our most personal and revealing yet. It’s not just about relationships, it’s about the moment you realize that reality is more sacred than any dream.

Here’s what you'll hear:

🌿 Why we confuse intensity with truth
🌿 What Matt calls “a monogamous relationship with fantasy” and how he broke the cycle
🌿 Joy’s story of grief, healing, and the unexpected wisdom that came after heartbreak
🌿 A powerful new definition of what a soulmate really is

And maybe the most important takeaway of all…

💛 That love doesn’t begin with perfection.
It begins with presence.

Lately, presence has looked like this for us:

Our coffee time isn’t just about caffeine,
it’s become a mini-celebration, a sacred pause,
or a moment to be in reality together.

No rushing, no fixing, just being.
It reminds us that connection doesn’t require fireworks…
just intention.

Thanks for being part of this with us. We’re so honored to walk this path with you.

With love and timing,
Matt & Joy

May 2026: A New Cycle is Beginning For You
Dear Beloved Friend, Something shifted at the end of April. If you felt it — a restlessness, a quiet urgency, a sense that something old had ended and something new was waiting — you were not imagining it. This week, we sat down together to record our May 2026 Energy Update, and what came through felt important enough that we wanted to share it with you right away. This month carries a very spe...
A Message From Our Guides...
  Dear Beloved Friend, Sometimes, a message arrives. So potent, so timely. It feels like a direct download from the heart of creation itself, a whisper from the universe just for us. This week, it happened again. Our guides spoke to us about the collective experience we are all navigating right now. They gently brought us back to 2019, to a pivotal moment when a profound choice was laid before...
