Love bombing and real love are two completely different things. The scariest part of being love bombed is that most of us don't know we're being love bombed. On this episode of the podcast, I'll address what is love bombing, the phases of love bombing, the signs and symptoms of being a victim of love bombing, the relationship patterns of a love bomber, and why we fall into the trap of believing this is true love and a perfect relationship. In the beginning, of a relationship that begins with love bombing, we believe we have found the ultimate relationship. We get caught up in the whirlwind of the “romance,” believing we have found the love that is only seen in romantic films. I want to help you to identify love bombing before you get extremely hurt mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Listen through to the end of this podcast episode to properly educate and self-guard yourself from emotional pain and suffering.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/live-your-true-life-perspectives-with-ashley-berges--1272964/support.

Many of us feel let down by others. Being let down seems to happen more than not in today's society.  They tell us they are going to do something and they don't. What do we do about this? How do we handle it? How do we move on? On Today's show, we are going to take a deep dive as to why we are let down, understand the process that takes place, and enable us to look at our own lives. This will allow us to figure out why this happens to us and what we can do to move on.

On today's show, I am talking about adjacent stress. Adjacent stress is the stress that others have and its impact on your life. It is other people's stress and because of our relationship with them, it affects our lives. This stress can come from our spouse, our children, parents, best friend, family, and other friendships. Some people do not feel this stress, while others are highly impacted by it. If you are dealing with someone's adjacent stress, this is the podcast for you. We need to understand adjacent stress and how to deal with it. It is great to care, but it can be difficult when we are dealing with our stress and taking on adjacent stress as well.

Stress, stress, and more stress! Many of us are under an immense amount of stress every day. This stress can come from our career, our home life, lifestyle, situations, family, relationships, regrets, and the state of the world. When we think of stress, how do we define it and how do we deal with it? We need to take a look at the choices that we have made and choices that we have not made in our lives that have created havoc and stress for us. Join me today as I take a deep dive into stress, where it is coming from, and what we can do right now to make changes In our lives to offset some of our stress.

Today's show will discuss science and keeping our children up to date on the most innovative ways to obtain accurate information for them to learn. Joining me is Dr Penny Norman. Dr. Norman has a Ph.D. in Biophysics from UC Berkeley. Dr. Penny is dedicated not only to children but also to education. She has written more than 20 Science STEM books for elementary-aged children over the last 20 years. A number of these STEM books have sold millions of copies. These titles are based on years of work with children in the classroom and in after-school programs. She and her editor Ann Einstein have tested these materials and books over many years. Some projects work. Some do not. Some engage children. Others do not. It is only through years of “watching their faces” that activities have been sourced and selected.Her books and kits have received numerous awards, including Family Choice Award 2018 – GOLD MEDAL, Multiple Creative Child Magazine Awards, Scientific American's Young Reader's Book Awards, Good Morning American's Top Ten Children's Toys, multiple National Parenting Magazine Awards, The Parent's Choice Seal of Approval, PUZZLE of the YEAR from Games Magazine, and a Modern Library Award. See ScienceWiz.com for an almost complete list of her titles.

On Today's show, we will identify the people in our lives that we pay to be in our lives. Our doctors, lawyers, accountants, and therapists are just a few examples of the people we pay to be in our lives. We pay these people to help us in our lives. We need to identify who these people are and be confident that they have our best interests in mind, often we lose sight of this. We need to make sure that the people we are paying and giving power to in our lives are there for us and give us the best possible care, advice, and interest in our lives. We need to understand why we chose these people to help us, and what it is that causes us to stick with them when they may not be the best choice for us. We give them power and hope they do the right thing. We must find people that share some of our values.

Have you ever found yourself offering a suggestion, only to be quickly turned down? The feeling of being shut down can be very disheartening. Today I want to talk about a group of society that tends to gravitate toward individuals who think they know it all. However, the reality is that very few know it all. This same type of person also seems to gravitate toward others who are narcissistic in nature. The heart of the matter lies in the issue that they only take advice from supposed know-it-alls without wanting to consider input from anyone else. This behavior most likely comes from their upbringing and family dynamics. This behavior seems to work for these individuals because it is something they are accustomed to. What works for them is very frustrating to the rest of us who care about them. The frustration is evident when the responsibility of caring for these individuals falls on our shoulders, and they refuse to take advice from anyone outside of their chosen know-it-alls.

On today's show, I dive into the complicated relationship where one minute they love you and the next they don't. This leaves us never knowing what is going to happen next. The uncertainty that goes along with this type of relationship has an impact on our daily lives leaving us stressed, overwhelmed, and unable to focus. Often, we find ourselves losing our sense of self, fearing being left, having our partner get angry at us, or blaming us for everything wrong. There is a lack of responsibility on their part, expecting everyone else to be responsible but them. A big part of our journey is to recognize and realize what we are dealing with. We need to ask ourselves if this relationship is worth saving. Are we both doing the work necessary to have this relationship move forward? Also, do we deserve this type of person in our lives? We cannot let their behavior rub off on us, we need to set boundaries and make sure those boundaries are respected. Are we willing to walk on eggshells our whole life with them or are we ready to take a stand for our well-being?

As children, we all wanted to be the popular kid. We wanted everyone to like us. We wanted to be the kid chosen first for the team. However, no matter what we may have done there was always one or two kids who did not like us. What happens when we are adults and this desire to be liked by everyone continues in our lives? What about us causes us to want to be liked by everyone? On today's show, I am going to be talking about why we want to be liked so badly. I am going to examine the roots of our desire for popularity and how it shapes us as adults. Are you a people-pleaser, or can you be authentically yourself without needing outside validation? It is important to understand the difference between people-pleasing and being an authentic person. We need to take a deeper look into if our childhood is triggering us. Understanding why we do things, why we make certain choices, and why some things really impact us is key to our seeing who we are. We need to uncover the reasons why being liked by everyone still impacts our lives as adults.

What does it mean to be authentic? On today's show, we are going to be talking about authenticity. Authenticity is something we strive for in our lives. We must learn how to do this for ourselves and other people in our lives. The founder of Bridging Worlds Behavioral Service, creator of Heart-Centered Revolutions, and author of his latest book, Authenticity: The Immense Power to be Yourself, Adam Bulbulia joins us today.

How do you handle an argument that you never planned on having? Have you ever had someone start an argument with you when you did nothing to provoke them? On Today's show, we are going to take an in-depth look into arguments. Specifically, what happens when the argument comes out of the blue? We need to understand what needs to be done in these situations. To avoid being caught off guard when it occurs in the future and to enable us to react appropriately, we must learn how to retain the concept in memory.

Studies have shown that most drivers develop an emotional connection to their car. Some people even refer to their car as an old trustworthy friend. The emotional connection people feel towards their cars is interesting and can be pretty normal. Join Ashley today as she talks about the emotional attachment that we have to our vehicles and why is it so hard to let our cars go. Ashley helps us understand why we develop these connections and why it is so hard for us to say goodbye to our cars when the time comes.

On today's show, we are going to be exploring spiritual bypassing. Many of us may be using this as a defense mechanism in our own lives. Spiritual bypassing is the tendency to use spiritual explanations to avoid complex psychological issues. Rather than working through difficult emotions or confronting our issues, we dismiss things that have happened and use spiritual explanations or toxic positivity. Often this is done to protect ourselves or create harmony with other people. Another way this is used is when people judge us, but they are hiding behind their life as a highly spiritual person. Listen in today to learn more about spiritual by-passing and identify who may be using it in your life.

On today's show, I discuss how our past and our experiences not only color our lives, but also color the way we see and interpret things that happened to us and happened to others around us.When it comes to giving helpful advice to someone in need, we must have some sort of understanding, knowledge, and experience to provide the correct advice. In today's show, I offer a simple example of a situation that can take place to anyone at any time. The reason why I offer this example about the grocery store, and the woman and the cart is to show how is a simple situation that you tell a friend, coworker, parent, or spouse can be observed, and discussed very differently. This particular example that I provide is extremely simple in nature. However, many of us are not asking advice from our friends and family about anything simple. The interesting part is that even a simple situation can be looked at differently by various people. When it comes to deep situations, like marital issues, possible divorce, parental alienation, and the list goes on, many people have a different take on it and offer advice that may or may not be the right advice to take. When it comes to the big issues in our lives, we want to be sure that if we are taking advice, we are taking the right advice for us to better our situation.We get advice from family and friends. Sometimes we ask for advice and other times it is just given to us. Throughout today's show, I'm giving you the information that you need to be able to understand both mentally and emotionally if this advice is helpful or harmful. Sometimes the advice is not advice at all. Sometimes instead of somebody giving you advice, they're actually judging you.We need to know where the advice is coming from and if it is advice we should be taking. It is important to keep in mind that the advice we receive is directly impacted by the person's life experiences or lack thereof. We must decide if the advice we are being given is advice that is going to help us or make us feel worse.

Today on Live Your True Life Perspectives, Ashley talks with Life Transformation Coach, Illumination Guide, and children's author Julie D'Ann. Julie has recently released her new children's book titled, “Which Would You Choose?” This book presents experiences that children or any person may come across in life.

On today's show, I am going to identify when a narcissist has crossed the line, and how to safeguard ourselves against them. When it comes to the people in their lives, narcissists have no boundaries and have double standards. We need to identify the signs of narcissistic retaliation, their playbook, which includes everything from projections and judgment on us to the narcissist's use of flying monkeys. Once we can identify these things, we will be able to protect and distance ourselves from our relationships with narcissists.

Do you know what you want in your life? Most of us have an idea of what we want our lives to look like. Unfortunately, many of us are in limbo in our lives. We do not know how to put our thoughts and ideas into practice. We need to think about how to take what we want and make it our reality. We must make choices and decisions to change our current situations and create the life we want.

Join me as I examine the distinction between potential and performance on today's show. Recognizing the difference between the two, and seeing when there is only potential, are both critical to identifying and understanding them in your life. Let's discuss the differences between potential and performance, how to distinguish them, and the roles they both play in our relationships.

We are impacted daily by things that we are aware of and things that we are not aware of. These impacts can affect us both positively and negatively. On today's show, I will help us realize what is impacting us, understand what the impacts are, and how great the impact is on us. This will help us see where we are, what we are doing, and what we need to be more aware of, in our lives.

Join me on today's show as we explore what we can do to become new and improved versions of ourselves. What do we need to start doing today to make these changes happen? The start of a new year is a wonderful opportunity to begin looking at these questions and determine what adjustments we need to make to allow us to feel more at ease, peaceful, happier, and healthier. Relationships fuel both our happiness and our pain. We need to be able to understand and recognize our numerous relationships to be new and improved. Once we can understand these, we will be able to see what we need to do to make changes in our situations to feel better about our lives. The key in life is to work hard to be a better person than we were the day before.

We all walk a journey in life. Often, the journey can be long, overwhelming, and challenging. Other times the journey can be the best thing in the world. Throughout this journey that we call life, we need to constantly be learning and growing to make ourselves better and stronger every day. Sometimes we just go through the motions and do not realize all that is going on around us. How do we understand our truth and see our life and goodness? How do we begin to manage and process what we need in our lives? Join me today as we find answers to these questions and others, to understand our reality and move forward in life.

On Today's show, I want to talk about how to stay healthy. It is important to stay healthy throughout the entire year. When we don't feel well we get stressed and anxious. When we get sick we tend to reflect back and wonder what we could have done to have prevented the illness. Along with the physical symptoms of an illness, we can experience emotional symptoms. Seasonal Affective Disorder, “SAD”, is an emotional illness that can bring us down. Join me as I give some tips and tricks on how to stay well both physically and emotionally this year.

Stress, strain, and overwhelm! How do we refocus on our lives? What are some important things in your life that you may be pushing aside, not thinking about, or not focusing on? Often, we don't think about the things happening in the moment because we are concentrating on the stress and drama in our lives. We have many responsibilities, feelings, and emotions, that we process daily. When these thoughts weigh on us, we tend to not focus on what needs to be done in the moment. Join me today for some tips and tricks on slowing down and accomplishing some of the things we need to be doing in the moment.

It's time to reflect on, comprehend, and process the past year we've personally had. It is also time to use this knowledge to get ready for the upcoming year. Let's look closely at the opportunities and chances that have and have not happened, whether expected or not. Join me today as we examine your year in greater detail.

What is something in your life that seems to be missing? Finding this missing piece will lead you to feel more satisfied and content. Many of us believe that something is missing in our lives and need to figure out how to find it. When we have this empty feeling, we are left in a very challenging situation Being able to pinpoint exactly what it is and how to obtain it will prove very powerful to us. Join me today as I explore how to figure out what is missing in your life and what you can do to attain it.

Being able to help children grow and learn in life is very valuable. For children to become well-rounded it is important that they are exposed to as many outlets and experiences as possible. The quality and quantity of information will contribute to their growth and learning. Children's Author C. Jordan is with me today. Jordan has written the book, Ethan's Truck Learning Adventures! This creative book provides an opportunity for children to explore and learn so many cool new things. The book is based on the author's energetic and curious son Ethan. The book encourages children to use their imagination without fear and get excited about learning. Join us today to learn more about the book, Ethan, and author C. Jordan.

How often do you wait for others to make decisions impacting your life? In the process of waiting for these decisions, you put your life on hold. For many of us, this happens more often than we may want to admit. This throws us into the waiting game, waiting for them to step up and do exactly what they said they would. Join me today as I discuss further what it feels like to put your life on hold while waiting for someone else to follow through on their word, decide, or just be honest with you. Also, what you can do to prevent this from happening in your life

Where are you directing your energy? On Today's show, I am going to discuss energy, both what and whom we are putting our energy into. We must become aware of where our energy is going. Often, we do not realize what is sucking the energy out of us. If you have gone through or are currently going through a negative family, work, or friendship situation that has taken over a lot of your mind share, this show will help identify where your energy is going to help you make changes in your life.

Join me today as I reveal the differences between enabling and helping. Quite often, we want to help our friends, family, or loved ones. However, in the process, we may end up enabling rather than helping. Sometimes the help turns to harm without us realizing what is going on. Let's look at the differences between helping and enabling. We need to be able to recognize and understand when we are enabling, and when we may be enabled.

Are you an enabler or are you helping someone? Join me today as I dive deeper into the differences between enabling and truly helping. Many of us do not realize that we are enabling someone rather than being a help to them. We help people because we care about them. We help them work through and identify things that they may be struggling with. It is not healthy to be an enabler. At what point does helping become enabling? Let's get a clearer understanding of what enabling is, and augment what we do so that we are able to help but not enable.

Many of us engage in self-sabotaging behaviors. Self-sabotage can occur either consciously or unconsciously. On today's show, we are going to explore self-sabotage. We will look at the different types of self-sabotage and how our core beliefs influence the reasons we may self-sabotage. Self-sabotage gets in our way of happiness and presents conflict in our lives. Join me as I talk with Adriana. Adriana is going to give her perspective on how self-sabotage has affected her life and some of the things she has done to eliminate self-sabotage.

Today's show is about Pre-school, communication, and connection with our children. When we connect with our children, we can have a greater understanding of them. Additionally, this connection allows them to understand themselves and their emotions much clearer. Pre-school is a very important developmental step in the lives of children. When done correctly, pre-school can be a safe and formative place for our children to learn, grow and connect with themselves and others. Joining me today is children's author, Jeanette Crystal Bradley. Jeanette has written a sing-along book titled, The First 12 Days of Preschool. If you are a parent, you are aware of all the emotions that both parents and children go through when starting preschool. Jeanette hopes that her book will help to ease the transition into preschool through her beautiful illustrations and memorable tune.

Do someone's lies have you questioning your own reality? Perhaps you are experiencing manipulation and gaslighting right now. We may not have a full understanding of what is happening to us. The closer the relationship is, the more difficult it becomes to see what is going on. Often, we find ourselves questioning the truth. This questioning takes us off target and may distract us in life. Today's show is going to offer you some guidance and point out red flags to be aware of if you are questioning your reality due to someone's lies. Most importantly, I am going to help you change the situation, find out the truth to make the situation better, see things clearer, and get closure if necessary.Watch the video on ghosting on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkB_sRqSmH0&t=2sListen to the podcast on ghosting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze7l28_lGwg

When you are being mirrored, someone is copying or imitating your characteristics, traits, and behaviors. Does it feel like you have someone in your life that seems to be a bit too much like you? Often, we are not aware that we are being mirrored. We believe that we have so many similar thoughts, feelings, and characteristics as this person. Oftentimes, we have found our perfect companion. It may feel as though we are looking at ourselves in the mirror. Although mirroring can feel good, it is important to figure out if these commonalities are true or, is it a case of mirroring.

Do you have a narcissist in your life? Are you able to identify who that malignant narcissist is? In today's show, I want to discuss the traits of the malignant narcissist and how to understand them. The show will give you the knowledge to identify when you are dealing with someone who has these traits, symptoms, and signs. We may also be operating with codependent programming that caters directly into the malignant narcissist behavior that makes it even more complicated to identity. Having this knowledge will be powerful for you when dealing with a malignant narcissist. Remember, we are not always aware that we are dealing with someone with these traits. We might feel like we have connections and similarities to the person with the narcissistic traits however, that may not be the truth. Join me today to learn more about narcissism and what you can do to safeguard yourself when someone in your life has the signs and symptoms of it.

We all matter, but what does it mean to matter? Many of us have grown up experiencing a narrative of feeling like we only matter if we are doing for others and giving of ourselves. We do not necessarily need to stop giving and doing for others to matter, but we must also derive our value from within. We were never taught that we have value and matter just because we are human. Today's show is going to help us figure out how we are valuable, how we matter, and not focus on what we do for others to find our value. We matter, no matter what.

Arguments, we all have had them at some point in our lives. Some arguments may have been more heated than others. The arguments we have with the people we are the closest to are the most challenging. It is easier to argue with a stranger than with someone close to us. The challenge occurs when we try to keep our cool during a heated, emotional argument, with a parent, spouse, or someone very close to us. In today's podcast, I am going to discuss arguments and how attachment styles relate to the way we argue. I am going to give some suggestions on how to keep cool, keep your stress level down, and how to de-escalate an argument. Take the quiz below to learn what your attachment style is, and watch the video in the link below to learn more about attachment styles.Quiz on attachment styles: https://quiz.attachmentproject.com/Attachment styles video linkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW6D-VtvjSM

Many of us remember our school years, some of us have fond memories of school and others of us do not. Fitting in at school can be difficult and children can be mean especially when it comes to other's differences. Children's Author and Creator of the Harold From the Hood Series, Jim Price, joins Live Your True Life Perspective to share his stories about Harold and his friends. The Harold From the Hood series are fun and entertaining books for kids that also help children to begin to understand diversity. Understanding diversity and inclusion are important as children grow up so they can embrace other's differences. If you're a parent, you remember those times when what set you apart was not a good thing, you tried to fit in, and you just wanted to be like everyone else. It wasn't until you grew up, that you were able to embrace your differences. With the help of this series and Jim's message, he would like to help students embrace their differences much earlier in life.

A relationship wedge is anything that has the potential to drive you and someone you care about apart. Today's show will identify relationship wedges, what they are, and how they appear. Often the people who create the wedge are unaware of why they are doing it. The wedge in a relationship can be many different things, it does not have to be just one. Some examples of wedges may be forever ammunition, a person, or a particular situation. Sometimes the situation may not have ever happened but is living in the mind of someone, and they insist that it occurred when it never did. Join me in listening while we explore these concepts, become more aware of what can cause the wedge, and diagnose why these wedges are happening.

Are you an empath? Being empathetic is a superpower. Often, that superpower may feel like a burden. Empaths take in and try to process feelings, sometimes leading to emotional overload. In today's show, I am going to share with you some ways to be successful as an empath. Discover how to feel your feelings, process feelings, spotlight your superpowers and help others without feeling used, overwhelmed, or helpless. Also, find out how to create a successful morning routine for you to thrive and use your superpower to the best of your ability.

Can you form a healthy relationship with a person you meet on a dating site? There is a way to look at multiple different variables, and be able to have the ability to see exactly what is going on. One good thing about dating sites is that most likely, everyone is there to meet someone, unlike walking down the street or going to a bar where many people may not be looking to date. We need to understand the variables of dating sites to have them work best for us. Join me today in examining dating sites, to find out if it is possible to find a healthy relationship while using them.

Routines enable us to create clarity, alleviate anxiety, and reduce stress while preparing us for the next day. Often, we have a morning routine and a routine at work, but do not have a night routine. When we come home at night after work and do not have a nightly routine, tasks do not get accomplished. When we wake up the next morning, we realize everything that we did not do the night before. This causes us to feel like we were less productive than we should have been. A solid nightly routine will help us be more successful, have clarity, and understanding. Join me today, as I discuss what it looks like to have a nightly routine.

How do you know if you are in a relationship with someone who is very controlling? Often, we do not realize we are in a relationship with someone who is controlling. This may be because we were brought up around that type of behavior our whole lives. In today's show, I will give you indications that the person you are in a relationship with is controlling you, whether the relationship is romantic, a friendship, or work. I am also going to provide you with some things that you can do to overcome this control. It is important to learn how to stop the programming of giving in to others' control to not lose your independence and Identity.

When we are in fear of losing a relationship, we do not speak our truth. This fear ultimately gets in the way of us doing what is right by our values, beliefs, and the boundaries we have in place. It is important for us to understand when we are in this place of fear, what is happening and why we are being held back from speaking the truth. We need to know what are some things that we can do to see the situation for what it really is. If you are going through an unhealthy relationship, are in fear of it, and have not spoken your truth, you definitely don't want to miss this show.

Do you need to find the strength to be able to manage and possibly move on from an unhealthy relationship? Many folks have tried to leave relationships multiple times. They tend to go back out of fear, and quickly realize that things in the relationship haven't changed. We go back into relationships for many reasons. Often, we reminisce on the past, romanticize the relationship, and fear a failed relationship. We also may feel guilt, shame, and the fear being alone. I understand fearing a failed marriage, but is it more important to find and cultivate one's identity? The concept of purpose is a very deep challenge, it's finding your truth, your true identity, and being able to be that truth no matter what. Usually when we are in toxic relationships, whether they are family, romantic, or work-related, we are not able to be ourselves. Instead, these relationships have us walking on egg shells and feeling fearful. During this time, we appear to be in the process of losing ourself and losing the precious time we could be using to cultivate our true life. Often, when we are in these unhealthy relationships, we do not realize the impact it has on family and friends. We need to reach out to our friends and family and explain what has been going on. If there are children involved, we need to take them into consideration, understand how to open the lines of communication, and how to create a situation for everyone's growth and peace. Being true to your values will allow you to find your purpose of identity. However, you do not necessarily have to leave the relationship to learn about your values, to grow, and to begin to find your truth. You can do the work while you are in the relationship. The results of your hard work may make differences that can better the relationship, or it may make it easier for you to make healthier choices. You need to take a deep look into the relationship to see the situation clearly in order to decide what will be best for you.

Are you thinking of leaving an unhealthy relationship? Do you need to find the strength to leave and move on? Have you been thinking about leaving and moving on but seem to not have the willpower or energy to leave? Throughout this podcast, I will provide you with real techniques to get clarity and understanding about you and your relationship. I will also help you find the strength needed to see things clearly, and begin to see your life without the other person. Once we see the events of the relationships clearly, we can begin to see why things took place and bring attention to the red flags we didn't want to see. As we look further into the relationship, we will begin to understand parts of the relationship we previously may not have understood. We must look at the crumbs we received during the relationship, because at the time we were unaware that they were crumbs. It is essential to examine your values, understand your values, and be able to see where you and your values have been walked all over. As you listen to this podcast, you will do inventory of your relationship, see it clearly, see where you stand, and gain the strength you will need to stand up for what you believe in and stand for. Sometimes we find ourselves waiting on them to make a decision and that usually doesn't benefit us and it usually makes us feel resentment and frustration.Additional Resources:Waiting on them to make a Decision about the Relationship?
