What if the biggest relationship problems you’re struggling with… aren’t actually your fault?

This episode's guest, Katarina Polonska, is an Oxford-educated behavioral scientist and high-performance relationship coach whose life story is as powerful as the science she teaches.

She went from calling off her wedding, battling an eating disorder, and rebuilding her identity from scratch…

…to becoming one of the sharpest thinkers in the world on attachment theory, partner selection, and why high achievers struggle in love.

In this episode, Katarina breaks down the real science behind attraction, emotional patterns, and why we keep choosing partners who hurt us. She reveals:

⭐ Why intelligent, successful people often repeat the same relationship mistakes
⭐ How early attachment styles shape every romantic decision
⭐ The behavioral “scripts” that sabotage dating and long-term love
⭐ How to stop overfunctioning, people-pleasing, and self-sacrificing in relationships
⭐ The biggest shift in modern male/female dynamics—and why it’s rewriting the rules
⭐ Why calling off her own engagement became her greatest act of emotional courage
⭐ The 3 micro-steps anyone can take to repair (or attract) a healthy relationship
⭐ The truth about dating apps and why so many feel emotionally exhausted

Whether you’re single, dating, or decades into a relationship, Katarina’s insights are refreshingly blunt, deeply compassionate, and rooted in science—not clichés.

If you’ve ever asked yourself:
“Why do I keep choosing the wrong people?”
“How do I break this cycle?”
“How do I finally feel secure in love?”
…this episode will change how you think about relationships forever.

👇 FULL conversation with Katarina Polonska now available. Watch to the end—her final message for anyone at an emotional crossroads is worth it.

The Silent Crisis Changing Everything: US Fertility Rate {1.6} vs. Replacement Rate {2.1)!

Do you ever wonder what happens when the world quietly slips below the point of population replacement?

It’s not a dystopian fantasy—it's the reality unfolding right now across the developed world.

In this episode of Do You Ever Wonder, we tackle The Birthrate Bomb, an unprecedented demographic crisis with profound consequences for every facet of life.

Our guest is Elliot Daigneault, an entrepreneur who has closely studied the growing crisis.

The numbers are stark: the required replacement rate is {2.1} children per woman, yet the United States fertility rate has plummeted to {1.6}.

This gap is creating aging societies, shrinking consumer bases, and an economic system built on perpetual growth facing an existential reckoning.

Inside the Episode: Economic Collapse, Real Estate Chaos, & the Workforce Crisis

We dive deep into the real-world consequences of this fertility rate collapse:

• Real Estate Market Disaster? What happens to housing demand and property values when there are fewer young people to buy homes? We explore how a declining workforce and aging demographics could permanently alter the real estate market.
• The Future of Business: How can businesses survive and thrive amidst crippling labor shortages? We analyze the impact on wages, automation, and the long-term viability of industries that rely on a growing talent pool.
• Economic Reckoning: Can our pension systems, Social Security, and national debt withstand a rapidly shrinking base of workers? We break down the threat to the overall economy and the end of predictable GDP growth.

The Million-Dollar Question: Is Immigration the Solution?

Can sustained immigration solve the demographic deficit and save our economy? Or does the answer require a completely new approach to family, work, and community life?

Is the future one of innovation and adaptation… or quiet decline?

SHOCKING: Was the Massive Counter-Protest Crowd Last Night Full of REAL Activists... or PAID ACTORS?

That was a huge crowd, no doubt! They are passionate, loud, and full of energy, but are they paid actors?

What really goes into creating buzz, influence, and public momentum?

In this episode, Do You Ever Wonder goes inside the world of organized influence and explores how crowd dynamics shape perception and power.

From corporate launches to advocacy movements, the art of influence management has become one of the most powerful tools in business and media.

On this episode of the Do You Ever Wonder podcast, host Mike Haltman sits down with Adam Swart, CEO of Crowds on Demand, to discuss:

• How organizations use events and crowds to amplify messages
• The role of public relations, perception, and storytelling in modern activism
• Ethical considerations of paid participation and advocacy
• The evolving relationship between authentic engagement and strategic influence

This isn’t about sides, Democrat vs. Republican — it’s about understanding how influence works in a connected world where attention is currency.
