On Military Mom Talk Radio, Sandra Beck is joined by clinical psychologist and author Dr. Mark Borg for a powerful discussion about one of the most common—and most painful—relationship dynamics: being conflict-averse while deeply connected to people who seem to thrive on conflict and drama. Whether it's a spouse, a parent, or a child, living with someone who constantly stirs the emotional pot can leave you feeling drained, anxious, and stuck. Dr. Borg offers actionable insight into how to maintain your own emotional peace without enabling toxic patterns or losing your sense of self. Sandra and Dr. Borg unpack the psychology behind conflict-seeking behavior, and offer practical tools for setting boundaries, staying grounded, and protecting your energy—while still showing up for the people you love. If you've ever asked yourself, “Why do they always start something?” or “How do I keep my sanity when they won't stop pushing my buttons?”—this episode is for you.Tune in to Motherhood Talk Radio on Audible, Amazon Music, Amazon Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Apple Podcasts, iTunes, Stitcher, Player FM, and Podcast Addict.

In this episode, I sit down with our Next Level Nutrition coach, Tom Hippler, for a raw and honest conversation about the reality of falling off track—even as a seasoned nutrition coach. Tom was one of the original coaches who helped me build this business, but in early 2023, he stepped away to start his own thing. Between launching a business, getting engaged, and buying his first home, Tom found himself in a place he never expected—struggling to maintain his own health and fitness. He opens up about how the stress of these major life events led him to neglect his nutrition and workouts, what it felt like to be in that position, and, most importantly, how he got back on track. Now, after over a decade in the industry, Tom is back with Next Level Nutrition, and we couldn't be more excited. He shares the biggest lessons he learned during this period, how he rebuilt his habits, and why he's more committed than ever to helping others do the same. PLUS, in honor of his return, Tom is giving away four months of completely free, high-level, one-on-one fitness coaching to one lucky listener!

Drawing from the early church's example in Acts, we see how they were devoted not only to the apostles' teaching but also to fellowship. This challenges us to examine our own devotion - are we as committed to building meaningful connections as we are to studying Scripture? The message emphasizes that true spiritual growth happens in community,not isolation.Notes for this sermon: https://bit.ly/415zlaNWebsite | https://lifechurchww.comFacebook | https://facebook.com/lifechurchwwInstagram | https://instagram.com/lifechurchwwVida Music | https://vidamsc.com

In this episode, Meg and Maggi explore the complexities of trusting ourselves in close relationships. They discuss the challenges of enmeshment, the importance of self-trust, and the need for discernment in decision-making. The conversation highlights the significance of alone time, self-validation, and the impact of external influences on our self-perception. Through personal anecdotes and insights, they emphasize the journey of self-discovery and the necessity of nurturing our relationship with ourselves. Takeaways: Trusting ourselves in relationships can be challenging. Enmeshment can lead to losing our sense of individuality. It's important to recognize that we are not responsible for others' feelings. Self-trust is crucial for navigating relationships. Discernment helps us make better decisions for ourselves. Alone time is essential for processing our thoughts and feelings. Excitement can be contagious, but we must discern our own feelings. Self-validation is key to personal growth and satisfaction. Relationships can be beautiful, even when they are hard. We must learn to trust ourselves to handle life's challenges.

Die Dauer ist beeinflusst durch vergangene Verletzungen, die Offenheit für Neues sowie die Lebensumstände. Lerne dich zunächst selbst besser kennen und definiere, worauf es dir in einer guten Beziehung ankommt, bevor du dich auf eine neue Partnerschaft einlässt.

Ever felt an aching pull for intimacy yet found yourself recoiling from it at the same time? That's the heart-wrenching contradiction of disorganized attachment, a topic that hits close to home for me. This episode peels back the layers of this complex attachment style, from the roots of neglect and inconsistent caregiving to its impact on our adult relationships. As we traverse these emotional landscapes, we look into the mirror of our own experiences, recognizing patterns and joining hands with those who share our journey.Navigating the aftermath of divorce, especially when parenting, can feel like stitching a quilt with mismatched threads. I open up about the strategies for healing from disorganized attachment and the transformational process of teaching and relearning accountability. As we share stories and insights, we uncover the power of community in mending our deepest wounds.  The closing chapter of our episode is an intimate voyage through the tumult of divorce and the metamorphosis into living authentically and magically. The Attachment Effect - Peter LovenheimLoneliness Roadmap on HeartBeatPost Divorce Roadmap - 21 Days of Guided JournalingFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MyCoachDawnInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dawnwiggins/On the Web: https://www.mycoachdawn.com A podcast exploring the journey of life after divorce, delving into topics like divorce grief, loneliness, the impact of different attachment styles and codependency, setting healthy boundaries, energy healing with homeopathy, managing the nervous system during divorce depression, understanding the stages of divorce grief, and using the Law of Attraction in the process of forgiveness.

Welcome to the ManMade Podcast This Podcast is with Shawn Helvey and Adam Thorne. Shawn is a licensed behavioral health counselor and Adam is a graduate student in behavioral health counseling. They've known each other for over 25 years and talk every week about the trials and tribulations of life.   Creating close relationships is essential for maintaining good mental health, and let's be real, who doesn't want a support squad for life's craziness? Step one: throw away your "stranger danger" caution – within reason, of course. You won't make pals with a potted plant. Step two: embrace awkward moments. They're like the glue that holds friendships together. Remember that cringeworthy joke you cracked? It's now a cherished inside joke. Step three: be an exceptional listener. People will flock to you like moths to a flame if they know you're willing to hear their drama. And lastly, make time for face-to-face interactions – emojis can only convey so much. So, let's go out there, embrace the social circus, and collect friends like they're Pokémon. Your mental health will thank you, and who knows, maybe you'll even find someone who laughs at your puns.   Some resources that may be useful: Peterson close relationships   Contact us at: getmanmadepodcast@gmail.com

Episode Summary:  Have you felt the pang of loneliness? Do you find yourself longing for deeper connections, for meaningful friendship? People are designed to be in community with one another, yet so many of us suffer from loneliness and isolation. Feelings of disconnect are more common than you may have realized and can have devastating consequences. My colleague, Dr. Gregory Jantz, and I want to help you with that. In this episode, we talk about how building meaningful connections can combat the effects of loneliness.   Quotables from the episode: Pre-pandemic studies revealed that over 61% of the population admitted to feeling lonely. The majority of people can't name one close friend. Everything on social media is instant, and social media says we're more connected when in reality, the opposite is true. Those who are lonely tend to experience a foreshortened future with no hope. Loneliness is really disconnection and longing for relationships. Isolation and loneliness are serious problems with real and often devastating consequences. Humans are social creatures in need of connection with others. Lack of strong relationships increases premature death by 50%. When we need people the most, we tend to withdraw. Real connection means connecting with real people. It requires an investment of time, emotions, and trust. There is a high cost to loneliness including decreased immune system, physical ailments, decreased mood, increased anxiety, decreased self-esteem, and increased panic. A universal critical need is the need to feel understood. Hope comes with a plan.   Scripture References: Genesis 2:18 “It is not good for the man to be alone.” Proverbs 27:9 “The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense.” Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.”   Recommended Resources:  The Power of Connection: Maximize Your Health and happiness with Close Relationships by Gregory L.

And I would remember waking up in the morning also and running out of the house and I would yell at my mom, I'm going over to Linda's house or whatever and she's like, OK and then we run over to the next door neighbor's.00:02:44XochitlHouse and like.00:02:45XochitlBring the door to talk, I mean.00:02:47XochitlCan you imagine?00:02:48XochitlParents were just so tolerant of this.00:02:50XochitlAnd like either the kid would come out.00:02:52XochitlDirectly or your parents would come.00:02:54XochitlAnd be like, hey, what's?00:02:55XochitlUp and you'd be like.00:02:57XochitlHey, can, like Landon come out and.00:02:59발표자 3OK.00:03:01XochitlBlah blah come out and play. Maggie, come on and play like and then they would come and you would like, run over to the park together or ride your bike to the park and just cause mischief. We got into some good crap, but yeah, that was my experience as well.00:03:17JackOK. Yeah. So our our experiences are not that different. I mean I I never had my first computer till I was 26 years old or 27. So you know, I never really.00:03:30JackUM.00:03:32JackI mean, I had a computer, but I never really had the Internet. Like I I never had access to Internet till I was 26.00:03:37Jack27 so that's.00:03:39JackThat's how old I was when I started using a computer. So what do you what do you think about the online friends thing? So do you feel like you could you can be you can have close relationships with people online?00:03:43XochitlRight.00:03:52XochitlI think in a way like some aspects of of like.00:03:57XochitlPersonal relationships are.00:03:59XochitlCloser and some aspects of online relationships are closer.00:04:02XochitlI feel like when.00:04:04XochitlYou have online friendships because I grew up like in an age where once we were like, allowed to use a computer and stuff.00:04:10XochitlWe would talk to strangers and stuff like being 13 and they're also 13. At least that's what you're hoping about their end. Yes. And I think you feel so comfortable telling people, like, intimate details of your life. Obviously, we were taught about stranger Danger. And you don't tell them, like, where you live or your address or anything.00:04:16JackYeah, no kidding.00:04:30XochitlAnd I never had anyone ask.00:04:32XochitlUM, but you feel so comfortable telling them about like.00:04:39XochitlYour family life and embarrassing things that maybe you wouldn't want to get.00:04:45XochitlOut at school.00:04:47XochitlAnd so I think there's like a certain level of closeness that's hard to replicate in person because it's almost like.00:04:55XochitlIt's really comfortable because there's like no embarrassment and there's no, like fear of judgment. It's like.00:05:01XochitlIt takes down some of the boundaries.00:05:04XochitlWe're getting to know a person in person like relationships, whether they're friendships or romantic relationships or whatever. They tend to develop a lot more slowly, and they're a lot more like boundaries that have to be broken down, not necessarily in a negative way, but just like.00:05:22XochitlPeoples like.00:05:24XochitlYou know, when you initially meet someone, you're going to be a lot less comfortable, and it takes a while. Yeah, it takes a while to break through that and to kind of get to know someone on a deeper.00:05:28JackRight. Their defenses maybe. Yeah.00:05:36XochitlLevel, but there are things.00:05:38XochitlThat, like in person, friends can do for you.00:05:41XochitlThat online friends can't. And while I remember a lot of like my online friends and where I wonder where they are now, I remember this one girl I used to talk to you all the time from like some other.00:05:56XochitlPlace across the world.00:06:00XochitlIt's really different than like your childhood friends that you remember spending time with and that you can still catch up with in person or like.00:06:08XochitlExperiences in person.00:06:11XochitlHanging out with people and having like a good time in person.00:06:13XochitlIs such a.00:06:16XochitlDifferent bonding experience than being online, where it can still feel isolating in some ways.00:06:23XochitlYeah. What do you think?00:06:23JackOK. So it sounds like you're kind of like, you feel like it's it's kind of can be it it's possible like you can have close relationships and?00:06:33XochitlYes, I think it's just it's a different type of relationship. I also think we live in an age where online relationships and friendships can evolve into in person ones, and they often do.00:06:34발표자OK.00:06:44XochitlLike you know, Jack, we, we.00:06:46XochitlAre online friends we've never met and realize.00:06:49JackOhh yeah, that's true. That's right. That's right, yeah.00:06:52XochitlThose guys don't know that and I and it's funny because I kind of forgot that. Did you kind?00:06:56JackRight, right. Because we just get together once a week and record.00:06:56XochitlOf forget that.00:06:58발표자 3Did you?00:07:00JackAnd we we met through the Facebook and you came on our podcast as a guest and then you joined The A-Z English podcast and then you and I've been chatting every, every weekend for months and months.00:07:15XochitlFor the year over year now back I think are coming on New Year. It's so it's very weird because we're online friends and I think that it it can evolve into like an in person friendship as well, they're just like different types of friendship.00:07:18JackIs it?00:07:19JackRight.00:07:32XochitlBut like, it wouldn't be weird at all for me if Jack was visiting Mexico. For me to be like, oh, yeah, stop by my house. You can stay. You can crash at my place like your family can stay at my place. I wouldn't find.00:07:42XochitlIt weird, you know.00:07:43JackLike what? Likewise, you know, it'd be like if you came to to Korea. Of course. We'd have to get together and have a BBQ at our house. And you could meet my wife. And I mean, it's just be it's a no brainer situation, but it's the only thing holding us back is geography. But the thing that allows us to remain friends is technology.00:08:03JackSo it's kind of a, it's just a weird relationship between geography and technology, I think. So to give my opinion, I I think you definitely can be friends with with people online because like you said, we're an example, a living example of that. But I also have never.00:08:23JackReally had online friends before the last, maybe year or so, maybe since like.00:08:30발표자Right.00:08:31JackYou know, since I started teaching and doing the A-Z English podcast and meeting students in our WhatsApp group and then doing the zoom classes, our our free online zoom lessons.00:08:45JackDid I start to get to know the students and they're people that I never would have met because I just never will.00:08:53JackOr I never would have been just walking through Iran or Saudi Arabia or Colombia. Most likely. I mean, there's a chance I could go to those countries, but what is the?00:09:05JackLikelihood that I'm.00:09:05JackGonna meet those students in those countries accidentally. You know, it's just it's it's such a.00:09:10발표자Right.00:09:14JackInfinitesimal chance that we would we would meet that the only way for us really to connect all these people together would be through the use of technology through a zoom application or whatever other platforms. Yeah. Chatting and and.00:09:30XochitlWhatsApp chaps.00:09:35JackYeah. What WhatsApp. Yeah.00:09:38JackSo I they they are, it is a different type of relationship. Someone one of my students said something that was really profound that I I kept thinking about it for a couple days afterwards and she said that online friends is way less stressful. You don't have to go to a coffee shop. You don't have to.00:09:58JackSplit the bill. You don't have to leave your house like the comfort of your own house. So in a way, I I was like.00:10:08JackIt is that. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? And I think that that's I think it's kind of a good thing because I've I frankly don't like leaving.00:10:19JackMy house and.00:10:19JackI I like the the the easiness of of.00:10:23JackContacting, you know, having interaction with students.00:10:29JackSo yeah.00:10:32XochitlYeah, I don't want to speak for everyone, but I do think personally the fact that we've been, we've gotten so comfortable, just like from my own experience, gotten so comfortable with being in our house like all the time and interacting in person with a really small social circle and doing a lot of interactions online and stuff. I honestly do think that's why we have.00:10:53XochitlLike a very much more isolated experience as humans, getting a lot of our social interactions and validations from online sources has led to the loneliness epidemic that we're seeing globally now.00:11:07JackYeah, I think you're right. I mean, I think it it started with COVID like that's that seems to be where a lot of people were stuck inside and they went to online and that's where I did too, because I'd always just had offline relationships mostly. I mean, my whole life, I I was never comfortable, you know, doing the online thing. But now I really enjoy it.00:11:27JackI mean, I really. I'm I I you can meet so many more people. You get to hear about their lives. But I think the one downside is that people can drop out just as quickly as they they come.00:11:39JackYou know, cause all it takes is just. Basically they just turn off their computer and you've you don't know what happened to them. Are they alive? Are they OK? Did they get a new job? Did they move to a new city? And so people can just drop in and drop out. So it's not. It's it's not as deep as like.00:11:59JackAn offline relationship where you're where you've like. You were saying you you broke down those defenses and you've you've met with that person face to face. But I also think that like.00:12:13JackThe online can be if you cultivate those relationships they they can be and as long as the other person is is is answering the phone and putting in the effort then it it can be just the same as an offline relationship so.00:12:28XochitlI think so. I think that's what it comes down to ultimately. So yeah, I agree with you and I'd love for our viewers to let us know if they think online relationships can be as close as in personal relationships or not. Is it also, do you think that like an online relationship is a good starting point to cultivate?00:12:47XochitlAn in person relationship or like immune sustained contact.00:12:51XochitlWith people that you've.00:12:52XochitlMoved apart from physically?

There are also proven ways to create an aura of credibility around yourself. These include highlighting qualifications, showing your caring and empathy, showing similarity, being assertive, showing social proof, not contradicting yourself, and avoiding being overly polite.#Festinger #Schachter #Credibility #Credible #DirectTrust #Familiarity #OrielFeldman #RobertZajonc #ThomasSmith #Zajonc #Zanna #RussellNewton #NewtonMG #PatrickKing #PatrickKingConsulting #SocialSkillsCoaching #HowtoExtractInfo #Secrets #andTruthPatrickKing

New research which shows relationship vollatility may affect your body. Lead study author, Dr Brian Don from the University of Auckland says the quality of our primary relationship can predict how stressed we feel and can result in physiological symptoms such as blood pressure and heart rate. The research - The Good, the Bad, and the Variable: Examining Stress and Blood Pressure Responses to Close Relationships ran from 2019 to 2021 and it has just been published in the journal, Social Psychological and Personality Science. The 4,000 participants of the study usually took part for three week blocks, during which they had changes in their heart rates and blood pressure recorded via smartphone sensor. Dr Don says they were from a range of countries including the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand and shared reflections on their closest relationships, documenting positive and negative experiences.

We all experience life differently, and almost all of us end up with wounds and scars along the way. Because of how we were raised, and what we experienced along life's path, it affects how we show up in our relationships. It makes some of us hesitant or distant. Others will be needy or clingy. Some will be sensitive and reactive, while others may struggle with trust and intimacy. All of these struggles can be healed and resolved, and that is what this episode is all about. Listen to it now, and share it with friends, family, or colleagues who could benefit.

Dr. Righetti's research focuses on close relationships. More specifically she studies sacrifice, ambivalence, and how dual processes shape relationship dynamics. In this episode, we talk about close relationships. We first discuss sacrifice: what motivates it, when it is expected, when people regret it, and how they weigh its costs. We discuss when empathy is a burden, perceived partner responsiveness, and how people deal with conflict. We talk about the role that self-control plays in close relationships. We discuss interpersonal goal support, and promoting one another's ideal selves. We talk about attachment security, anxious and avoidant attachment styles, and how security can be fostered. We discuss ambivalence in romantic relationships, and implicit partner evaluation. Finally, we talk about the factors that contribute to the maintenance and decline of relationship satisfaction.

This is a recording of a class I taught on releasing the fear of disapproval in close relationships. It resonated SO deeply for everyone who attended so I wanted to share it here for you to listen as well. This is something that came up strongly for me at the beginning of 2022 and I'm so excited to share how I moved through it. Whether it's fearing spending money because of what your partner will think, fearing quitting your job because of what your family will think or fearing anything else based on what others will think, this episode will give you the tools to let it go so you can feel free to follow YOUR intuition and alignment.   In this episode, we're chatting about: ✧ How the fear of disapproval coming up for me and how I moved through it ✧ How to shift from "what will cause the least upset in others?" to "what is most aligning for me?" ✧ Why emotional release is key to freeing yourself from needing to contort yourself to avoid disapproval ✧ How to practice following your intuition vs what you think you're supposed to do based on what you think others will think ✧ A deep guided meditation to release any stuck emotions preventing you from feeling fully free and aligned in this area and connect with your inner wisdom

When it comes to close relationships- we can often fear that standing up for ourselves will just damage the relationship. I want to challenge this idea. I believe that the fear around damaging a relationship and not standing up for yourself is actually damaging the relationship with yourself.  Learning to stand up for yourself from love for yourself and the other person creates so much freedom.  And it is totally possible.

What does research say about the orgasm gap between men and women? Why do women report a significant drop in sexual pleasure when men enter the equation? Why is it important for us to have orgasm equality and what can we do collectively to close the gap?   In this episode, Effy and Jacqueline sit down with Grace Wetzel to explore how our gendered experiences shape our sexual experiences. They look at research, which indicates that bi and straight women have the least amount of orgasms, compared to straight men, bi men, and lesbians. And they discuss why this disparity has more to do with desire than biology. To learn more about GraceGrace Wetzel is a doctoral student in the Social Psychology program at Rutgers University. She works in the Close Relationships, Identity, and Stigma (CRIS) Lab under the advisement of Dr. Diana Sanchez. She received her undergraduate degree in Psychology from St. Lawrence University. Grace studies the impact of gender on sexuality from a feminist psychological perspective. Specifically, she studies the orgasm gap between cisgender men and women. Her main lines of research focus on how biological essentialist explanations are used to justify and perpetuate the orgasm gap, as well as women's decisions to pursue or not pursue orgasm as a goal in their sexual encounters. Grace is a recipient of the National Science Foundation's Graduate Research Fellowship for her work on this topic. Grace has dedicated her professional life to the pursuit of sexual and gender equity within and outside of academic research. Notably, she has a TEDx talk on the sexual pleasure disparity which has garnered over six million views online. She has continued to advocate for sexual equity by giving academic guest lectures, speaking at events, appearing on podcasts, and writing for newspaper outlets.Instagram: @orgasm_equality_Twitter: @grace__wetzelResearch publication: Orgasm Frequency Predicts Desire and Expectation for Orgasm: Assessing the Orgasm Gap within Mixed‑Sex CouplesWebsite: www.gracewetzel.comIf you would like to read the articles and research papers that informed Grace's work, check out our website.Support the showTo find more about Effy Blue and Jacqueline Misla, follow them at @wearecuriousfoxes, @coacheffyblue, and @jacquelinemislaon Instagram.If you have a question that you would like to explore on the show, reach out to us and we may answer your question on one of our upcoming episodes.

This week on the podcast I am interviewing Emily Stinemetz and Tate Drew – sisters who have both experienced baby loss. Emily experienced a first trimester loss followed by a season of unexplained infertility and Tate experienced a third trimester loss at 34 weeks. This conversation is really beautiful and tender as you hear their obvious love, empathy and compassion for one another even as their losses were very different and their motherhood journeys very different. They share openly about how they grieved differently and what it was like to walk with one another through their different seasons of grief and what it was like to be pregnant at the same time, for one to experience loss and then to navigate loving a sister and a baby niece while grieving. About this and navigating their relationship amidst different seasons of each of them grieving while one may be rejoicing, one sister said this: “We can carry this joy and sorrow together, and we're going to do that as a family. So that's what we did.”  Both women share what they wish others understood about their specific type of loss and give helpful and hopeful wisdom to any woman who is grieving, no matter what type of loss she may have experienced. We talk about comparison in our grief and in our stories. We talk about how to find healing and ways to love a grieving a mom. No matter your story or what brought you here, this conversation is honest and helpful and hopeful – it will encourage you to do the grief work that leads to healing and will remind you that your loss mattered.  QUESTIONS WE DISCUSS IN NO. 181 What do you wish others knew about unexplained infertility after your pregnancy loss and this aspect of your motherhood journey?   What do you wish others knew and understood about stillbirth?
