With the rapidly growing world of online dating, it's no surprise that the conventional way of meeting someone has begun to dissipate. And while we all like convenience, this new way of meeting people creates small threats. People can get into our lives, without having to meet us first - which can lead to trouble. We all want to find our special someone, and who doesn't love to be loved? But what happens when your new partner starts to love a little too hard, and a little too fast...

How do we manage the pain that we can't see? A wound that bleeds internally and can appear at the most unexpected times. We love to love, and our hearts shatter when it is abruptly brought to an end.

Join me this week to find out!

Oh how we love to be frightened. Isn’t it interesting that although fear is considered a negative emotion, we often subject ourselves to things that inflict it?

Tune in for a look at the development of lying, the various types, and how it impacts us and the people we hold relationships with.
