Some people say one of the most important decisions you'll make is the person you choose to marry. So how can you make sure you're ready to tie the knot, and that they're the partner for you?We chat to couples therapist Isiah McKimmie to find out the ‘must ask' questions - you should be asking yourself and each other. SHOW NOTES:Isiah McKimmie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/isiahmckimmie.sexologist/?hl=enIsiah McKimmie Details: https://isiah-mckimmie.com/DM us your thoughts, questions, topics, or to just vent at @triplejthehookup on IG or email us: thehookup@abc.net.auThe Hook Up is an ABC podcast, produced by triple j.

Brian celebrates his first successful afternoon on the apps in six weeks, applying a lesson from a recent episode and proving a point he's made in others. Judson shares recommendations for Anthony Amiewalan's novel Eddie & Alan, Michael Finkel's biography of Stéphane Breitwieser, The Art Thief, Kaveh Akbar's novel, Martyr!, and Nicholas Colia's film, Griffin in Summer. Both hosts are tickled by the Hookup of the Week, which describes a listener's decision to throw himself a birthday party to reclaim the sexual awakening that homophobia denied him as a teenager. Then, Brian and Judson are joined by partners in life and work, James Nguyen and AC Gottlieb, costume designers currently represented on stage by Chappell Roan in her Visions of Damsels and Other Dangerous Things tour and by Messy White Gays off-Broadway. James and AC chat with the hosts about the origin of their relationship and their evolution to openness, making and maintaining queer friendships–including navigating boundaries around sex with friends, entering into couples therapy, and their past dalliances with throuple-dom. The pair also discuss finding independence within a codependent relationship, how much we let dating apps inform our feelings about ourselves, the pursuit of their professional dreams, and how they came to design for Chappell Roan. Finally, James and AC help Brian and Judson respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question submitted by a listener who has concerns about hosting hookups at home.

It's been 10 WEEKS since our last check-in with Johnjay and Rich's very own Noah Lashley and his BFF Lenora Cooney! This week, we are hunting down that DAMN Starbucks BEARISTA CUP! Also, is McDonald's Monopoly just a giant scam? We've got all the tea so SPEND YOUR SUNDAY WITH NOAH AND LENORA!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The dust has barely settled from last week's “are-they-or-aren't-they-oh-they-definitely-are” moment, and now Bobbie is spiraling in that adorable, chaotic way only she can. Emmett opened his heart… maybe? Probably? Possibly? And naturally, Bobbie's answer is to leap straight into the danger zone: buying this man a birthday gift. It's the relationship equivalent of hitting the gas and hoping the feelings don't explode before the cake is cut.Meanwhile, over in the land of Discount Shenanigans, Gabby is out here trying to convince Isabella to hook her up with the mythical “family rate” on Happy's house. And honestly? The haggling energy is so strong we had to pause and hydrate.Brandi and Adelia break down every sweet, awkward, hilarious beat — from Bobbie's emotional acrobatics to Emmett's unreadable-but-very-readable reactions, to Gabby attempting to coupon-clip her way into real estate bliss.If Season 2 had a secret, it's that it came to play.

Stumble bursts out of the gate with pompoms flying and reputations crashing, and Brandi and Adelia are here to savor every glorious, chaotic second.Courteney Potter has seen better days — days when she wasn't getting fired in a cheer scandal, days when her name wasn't trending for all the wrong reasons. But when your whole career goes splat on the gym floor, there's only one thing to do: dust off the glitter and attempt the comeback of the decade.Her mission? Build a competitive cheer team…At a school whose name no one can pronounce…With a squad size of one.One! A solo cheerleader, standing like the last survivor in a post-apocalyptic pep rally.Brandi and Adelia break it all down — the comedy of forced reinvention, the tiny school with big underdog energy, and the pure audacity of trying to make nationals with a team of misfits.It's scrappy, it's messy, it's completely charming — and honestly, the perfect start for a series built on stumbles, faceplants, and the reckless belief that you can rise anyway.

The squad may still be barely a squad, and Krystal's injury may have derailed her plans, but Courteney Potter is not letting that slow her comeback march — not when there's a camera in sight and a mat to conquer.In Stumble's second episode, Courteney decides to turn media day into a recruitment buffet, selling the dream of competitive cheer to anyone with a pulse, a heartbeat, or the vague ability to stand upright. She's determined to get her tiny team back on the mat — preferably without collapsing into a dramatic heap of glitter and stress.Brandi and Adelia dive into the mayhem — the pep, the press, the desperation, the accidental comedy, and the deeply relatable chaos of trying to build a team out of wishful thinking and enthusiasm alone. It's messy. It's charming. It's Stumble.

Happy's Place Season 2 opens its doors, and Brandi and Adelia stroll right in with snacks, opinions, and a few affectionate eye-rolls for everyone involved.This week, we're diving into Season 2, Episode 1, and we start with the late-night symphony of Emmett's well-meaning but very acoustically disruptive safety check-ins with Bobbie. He's sweet, he's loyal, he's… keeping Isabella awake to the point of spiritual exhaustion.As the walls shake and the patience thins, Isabella finally drops the ultimatum: either Bobbie takes this budding relationship to the next level, or she takes these 2 a.m. conversations literally anywhere else.Brandi and Adelia unpack it all — the romance, the tension, the boundary-setting, the sleep deprivation, and the deliciously messy emotional threads that kick off Season 2 with a thrum. Welcome back to Happy's Place, where the drama never sleeps… even when the characters desperately want to.

In this powerful call-in episode of Dr. Judy WTF, Dr. Judy unpacks the difference between being in love and truly loving someone. She explains why the dopamine-filled highs of infatuation can feel like a drug, why those “butterflies” rarely last, and how real love is built on stability, shared values, and emotional safety. Using her Mind Map® system and attachment theory, Dr. Judy traces how childhood wounds, “holes in the soul,” and inconsistent parenting create anxious and avoidant attachment styles that play out in adult relationships.A courageous caller shares how growing up with emotionally unavailable parents led him to repeatedly fall for partners who don't have time for him. Dr. Judy walks him through her “What the Freud”® repetition principle—why we keep choosing rejecters and secretly hope they will finally heal our original pain. She also explores whether the in-love feeling can come back in long-term relationships, how to rekindle sparks with date nights, play, sex, and shared growth, and why becoming the cause of your healing (instead of at the effect of others) is the real path to healthy, mature love.

Send us a textThis was a topic that was requested of us to talk about, and which resonated with both Kristy and Jerry as a worthy one. When couples therapy goes wrong, or is unsatisfying to the couple that searched for help, why is this??? What type of connection, process and set of skills are necessary to have things click and move forward with good feeling for all involved? Kristy and Jerry consider this (along with a fake fight in which one person argues about the couples therapist favoring one of them over the other).

Communication in marriage breaks down when one partner can't open up - and often, it's the men who struggle most with vulnerability. In this practical, tool-filled conversation, Christa sits down with couples therapist Shane Birkel, a Type 7 and certified Relational Life Therapist who worked closely with Terry Real as his mentor. Shane is the host of Couples Therapy for Parents podcast and has been featured in Men's Health, Cosmopolitan, USA Today, and The New York Times. In this 7-7 pairing conversation, they do a deep dive into how men can actually open up in marriage and what their partners can do to help. Shane breaks down the speaker-listener technique - a research-backed communication tool that creates safety for hard conversations and helps men access and articulate their emotions. Learn why men shut down emotionally, how to explore patterns you may not even be aware of, and practical steps to help your husband (or yourself) begin to have more control of emotions and feel excited about the relationship again with the speaker-listener technique. Whether you're a man who knows you need to open up more or a partner exhausted from trying to connect, this episode delivers actionable marriage tips you can use tonight.

EPISODE SYNOPSIS:This episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast features host Ali in an in-depth, compassionate conversation with Darshana Avila, a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner, and sexological bodyworker known for her appearance on Sex, Love & Goop. Together, they explore the intersections of sexuality, embodiment, grief, and healing, discussing how slowing down, attuning to one's body, and embracing vulnerability can lead to deeper connection and erotic wholeness. Darshana explains her integrative approach to sexological bodywork—helping clients safely explore pleasure, boundaries, and self-awareness—as well as the broader cultural conditioning that fuels shame, inhibition, and disconnection. Touching on topics from trauma and consent to the cultural devaluation of grief and sensuality, the conversation becomes a profound reflection on how reclaiming our embodied erotic selves is both personal healing and social activism, ultimately a journey toward fuller, freer, and more loving humanityFOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeFOR MORE DARSHANA AVILA:BIO:Darshana Avila is a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner and international speaker who helps people reconnect with the most essential aspects of themselves — their truth, their desires, and their capacity for authentic connection. Known for her grounded, candid, and relational approach, she bridges the worlds of embodiment, emotional intelligence, and personal agency with depth and accessibility.Darshana's work has been featured on Netflix's Sex, Love & goop, The Guardian, The New Yorker, and numerous leading podcasts including the most downloaded episode of Shameless Sex Podcast in 2024, the goop Podcast and the Sexology Podcast. PROMO LINKdarshanaavila.com (depending on the release date, we might ask that you feature her upcoming retreat darshanaavila.com/radical-rejuvenation)SOCIAL HANDLESinstagram.com/darshana_avilayoutube.com/@darshana-avilalinkedin.com/in/darshana-avilaskool.com/galgasmOTHER RESOURCES, LINKS AND INSPIRATIONS:Betty Martin's The Brilliant Body Podcast episode: The Receiving and Giving Body with Dr Betty Martin, Creator of The Wheel of ConsentLike A Pro: Training for touch professionalsTHE WHEEL OF CONSENT explainedGwyneth Paltrow's SEX, LOVE and GOOPSexological BodyworkCis-women definition: a woman whose gender identity aligns with the sex she was assigned at birth, which was female. The term "cisgender" comes from the Latin prefix "cis-" meaning "on the same side as," and is used to distinguish people whose gender identity matches their sex assigned at birth from transgender people whose gender identity differs.Amina Peterson: is an erotic healer, sex doula, surrogate partner, sexual revolutionary and activistBrené Brown's “We Need to Talk ABout Shame” Internal Family SystemsSomatica Method; Celeste Hirschman and Danielle HarrellKairos and Chronos:The Greek New Testament uses two distinct words for time: Chronos, referring to sequential, measurable, or "clock" time, and Kairos, representing opportune, significant, or "God's" time. The fear of Chronos' time is a metaphor for being enslaved by deadlines and schedules, while Kairos is the critical moment for decisive action or significant change. It represents a fleeting window of opportunity for decisive action, a "light bulb moment" where conditions are perfect for a crucial act, such as an archer taking a perfect shot or a weaver working through a narrow gap in their loom. The concept is used in various fields to describe the importance of timeliness and seizing the right moment, such as in rhetoric, advertising, journalism, and religious contexts. Vaginismis: Involuntary spasms of the vaginal muscles that make penetration difficult or impossible.[From time to time, a word or phrase goes wonky.

Dr. Jim Bramson interviews his esteemed colleague and good mate - Jeff Cohen. Jeff Cohen is an articulate, deeply knowledgeable couples therapist with a background as unique as his approach.
