Saying “no” sometimes means saying “yes”. Okay, don't let me misguide you here. What I mean, is that sometimes when you say “no” in one area of your life, you're often saying “yes” to another. When you say “no” to working overtime, you are saying “yes” to spending time with your family. When you say “no” to going out for drinks on a Friday evening, you might say “yes” to an early morning trip to the Farmer's Market on Saturday.

Dr. Sara, an expert on relationships, discusses the six ingredients for designing the love people deserve. These ingredients can be applied to all types of relationships, including those with parents, siblings, children, and coworkers. The conversation explores the importance of attraction, respect, trust, compatibility, communication, and growth in maintaining thriving relationships. It emphasizes the need to focus on the right aspects of a relationship and not rely solely on love to save it. The discussion also challenges common misconceptions about sex and physical attraction in relationships. In this conversation, Eli Weinstein discusses the six key ingredients for a successful relationship: respect, vision, trust, compassion, acts of love, and knowing your own blueprint. He emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and communicating them lovingly and firmly. Vision involves imagining a partnership where two individuals influence and support each other, creating a harmonious relationship. Trust is built on reliability and consistency, and commitment is crucial even when you don't feel like it. Compassion is about being there for the other person without making it about yourself, and acts of love involve making the other person feel special in the way they want to be. Takeaways The six ingredients for designing the love people deserve are attraction, respect, trust, compatibility, communication, and growth. Love alone cannot save a relationship; it requires effort and focus on the right aspects. Physical attraction is important, but it is culturally constructed and can change over time. Respect involves continuously learning about boundaries and being respectable oneself. Trust is built through consistency, reliability, and vulnerability. Compatibility includes both individual attributes and interpersonal qualities. Effective communication goes beyond talking and includes understanding and valuing each other's perspectives. Relationships require growth and evolution to adapt to different stages and challenges. Set boundaries and communicate them lovingly and firmly. Imagine a partnership where two individuals influence and support each other. Build trust through reliability and consistency. Commit to the relationship even when you don't feel like it. Be there for the other person without making it about yourself. Make the other person feel special in the way they want to be.

On this episode of 'The Dude Therapist', host Eli Weinstein interviews Dr. Nicole Lepera as she shares her journey from traditional clinical training to a more holistic approach. Dr. Lepera discusses the importance of concepts like polyvagal theory and the brain-gut connection in mental health. She also explores the struggles of modern relationships and the impact of societal messaging on unrealistic expectations. Tune in to gain practical tools for navigating conflict, addressing past traumas, and practicing self-care for personal growth and healthier relationships. [00:00:06] Summary: Dr. Nicole Lepera, a holistic psychologist and author, is featured on the Dude Therapist podcast. They discuss various topics related to love, relationships, and personal growth. [00:03:29] Feeling disconnected, unfulfilled, and seeking change. [00:08:04] Increased awareness of relationship struggles. [00:12:33] Humans evolved in group-based living in villages with emotional connection and physical support. However, modern society has shifted towards relying on one primary partner for all needs, leading to frustration and disappointment. This pattern stems from early developmental experiences and the belief that the right person can fulfill all emotional needs. Society and culture also reinforce this idea. [00:16:09] Summary: The damaging beliefs and patterns in relationships need to be challenged and reframed. [00:20:11] Love requires intentional choices, and conflict is natural in relationships. Learning how to navigate and resolve conflicts is important to create a safe and secure environment for self-expression and growth. [00:24:15] Issues arise from conflicting beliefs. [00:27:46] Summary: Awareness of our nervous system's role in relationships and the ability to tolerate differences can lead to compassion and acceptance. [00:31:26] Value-driven differences can impact relationships. It's important to have open conversations about values early on to determine compatibility. Sometimes, a break or ending is necessary for personal growth. [00:35:16] Moving on from deep relationships requires grieving. [00:37:39] Summary: Consciousness and mindfulness are key to authentic relationships and personal growth. [00:42:17] Mindfulness is about being present and aware. It involves paying attention to our thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. We can make new choices and change by becoming conscious of our patterns and narratives. The conditioned self is a byproduct of these patterns, such as overachieving or people-pleasing. Breaking these patterns is challenging because they are deeply ingrained in our holistic model of being. [00:46:09] Beliefs shape our actions and identity. [00:50:12] Struggle with self-care and emotional support. [00:54:20] Summary: The speaker discusses the importance of love and support from others, expresses gratitude for the opportunity to connect, and encourages feedback from listeners.

On this episode of Dude Therapist, host Eli Weinstein interviews Ricky Williams, a former NFL running back and CEO of several companies. Ricky talks about his journey of overcoming adversity and finding inner peace and how his early religious upbringing and experience as an athlete helped him to recognize the opposition within himself and to take on the challenge of overcoming it. He encourages people to be curious about their own potential and to be kind to themselves and others and emphasizes the importance of choosing the right people to keep close for your healing journey towards balanced living.

Williams founded Highsman in 2021 to empower professional and everyday athletes as well as sports enthusiasts alike through cannabis. He brings a deep knowledge of herbs, sports and wellness to the brand. His belief in the healing properties of cannabis is intertwined with a distinguished football career, and he credits smoking herb as a way of coping with the challenges associated with being a professional athlete, from social anxiety to physical injuries. His widely acclaimed football career began at the University of Texas at Austin, where he was named a two-time All American. Shortly after, he was drafted by the New Orleans Saints and continued an illustrious football career, known as one of the most electric running backs of the century. Most notably he played with the Miami Dolphins for the span of seven seasons. He faced two suspensions during his tenure due to the NFL's strict marijuana policy. He finished his career with over 10,000 rushing yards and 74 total touchdowns and retired in 2011 after playing his final season with the Baltimore Ravens. Williams was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2015. No longer burdened by the NFL's marijuana policy after retirement, Williams began his professional journey into herb and wellness. In 2018 he co founded Real Wellness, an alternative health brand after studying Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine. This, along with his personal exploration of cannabis, paved the way for the launch of Highsman. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thedudetherapist/support

SHINING WITH ADHD EPISODE #131: Balancing Dad Mode and ADHD with Therapist Eli Weinstein The Childhood Collective 10/18/2023 SUMMARY Parenting ADHD comes with it's own challenges, but what about when you are parenting with your own ADHD? Today on the podcast, we are interviewing therapist Eli Weinstein on what it was like to grow up with ADHD and what managing looks like for him as a dad and practice owner. Eli shares how he keeps up with mental tasks, sensory overload, and getting support from his community. In this episode, we'll discuss communication tips, and mindset shifts for parenting through our own neurodivergence.

AFFILIATE INFORMATION We talk A LOT about executive function and what it takes for our kids with ADHD to plan and execute important tasks in their lives. But what about us? The mental load of parenting is real, and there is SO MUCH we have to use our executive functions for. One of those things is meal planning. What does everyone like? What will my kids eat? Which family member can have dairy, and which one can't have gluten? The list goes on and on. We know nutrition is important, but balanced meals take a backseat between school, therapy appointments, activities, and more. That is why we are loving Hungryroot.
