This special episode was recorded live at the Miu Miu Literary Club, which took place on 9th-10th April 2025 in Milan. Under the direction of Mrs Miuccia Prada, and now in its second iteration, the Literary Club is the latest in a series of cultural experiences devised by Miu Miu to promote the arts. - Naoise Dolan is an Irish author whose first book, ‘Exciting Times', was published to widespread acclaim in 2020. Naoise followed this with the equally well-received ‘The Happy Couple' in 2023. In both books, Naoise tackles the confusion of contemporary life with precision and wit: her characters grapple with sexuality, housing instability, social media malaise, and our growing class disparities. At the same time, Naoise brings a fresh, often unpredictable perspective to the timeless topics of education, girlhood, and desire that inform this year's Literary Club curation. - Deep Reading Lists can be found at phoebe.substack.com - @phoebelovatt @phoebelovattpubliclibrary @naoisedolan @miumiu

Hi Stef,I called in ~6 months ago. I was not doing very well, with me losing my first employment and the "business" I was a part of not doing very well. You gave some direction about sticking with my at-the-time mentor to establish a new career, but I can say that when I called you was definitely not only a bad time, but also quite ineffective, given the stress and dissociation I had to maintain daily. I was focused entirely on the "how" in our previous conversation and was not seeking answers to pressing questions. The result was a likely frustrating and forgettable experience as I brought my anxieties into your life. I seek to remedy that but also to have a genuine, honest conversation, which is still very rare for me. I have some questions that time away from the death-spiral of my inner parents has illuminated and I'm seeking your valuable input.Things have changed since July, with the ultimate step (ironically) being to do less. I ditched the gurus and mentors, and pulled back from all of the relationships I had. There was no one I was close to, and all of my social circles were built on lies I made for approval. Upon telling them of my deception, I was invariably removed from them, as expected. I now work happily and have more time for philosophy, and, hopefully soon, joy and progress towards joy.The core principle behind my need to lie to these groups to gain acceptance was acceptance. This never worked. Nobody valued me anywhere, especially not my parents. My parents taught me little. They bought us things, but never examined what we wanted with any level of curiosity. A core theme I've tried to square personally from your work is that children want to be comforted and loved by their parents, but I can't recall a time when I distinctly wanted anything to do with them. Despite my clear memories of events, I can't remember a time in my life fondly or with joy at all. Not a time I'd return to, or a moment with my family I wish I could go back to. The same feeling exists when I think of the company of others, whether it's friends or family. Frankly, I hate them (everyone), and I hate my "experience" of living up to now. You mentioned a distinct distance from my anger and emotion in general on our call. I didn't even feel anything up until the past few months. I find myself unable to muster up the bandwidth for even the most basic curiosity towards anyone anymore. I feel burnt out by the idea before I even do it. This has been quite the preamble, so I'll just dive into my first question:My parents would die if I asked them to. If I de-fooed, ran off, and died of a heroin binge, they would have been tracking me the entire time and would pay for my funeral. They swear up and down that they would do anything for me and that they would weather any storm to ensure my safety and well-being. I can guarantee they would. For all intents and purposes, they "love" me, even though the relationship is built essentially on bribery, i.e. buy me stuff to placate me and keep me in the home. I've conversed with them before about history, and they even know my stance on their "parenting." They won't change, and I can't even imagine what restitution might look like, or whether restitution is even necessary. I'm at a loss, right at the finish line. How can I consolidate that "loyalty," that desire to do what's right by me, with how much ire I feel for them for not teaching me a damn thing about anything? It's a self-answering question just typing it out but I don't have the bandwidth or courage to answer it myself.Should time allow in our conversation, I have a few more questions about women specifically. My parents didn't teach me jack shit, just left me to my own devices and said "do whatever as long as it's not drugs." I have no earthly clue how to engage someone intimately, either as a friend or romantically. It's sometimes even manifested as a direct and scathing hatred of women as a whole. Like real, bona fide hatred Stef. I'm 28, and everyone woman I have tried to get with has called me a funny friend and wants nothing to do with me. I'm dead certain this has to do with my lack of real, genuine emotion over the past 3 decades but I'm stuck still. The hatred I feel is towards my mom, but even still it manifests and shifts the blame from her to women as a concept. I have no idea what I'm doing and have no examples but pick up artist content, self-help gurus, and redpill youtubers.I'm infinitely grateful for the time you gave me last time we spoke, and I'm hoping that the intermittent time has rendered me more able to not only have a genuine conversation, but also to provide you with a provoking, deep, and meaningful one too. I hope we can talk soon, and thanks again for all you do, Stef!GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

In this episode, we dive into the transformative "Alone Stage"—that often challenging period between relationships. Instead of rushing into a new romance, I explore how embracing solitude can help you heal, gain clarity, and learn invaluable lessons about what you truly want (and don't want) in love.

For more insights, check out my book, Secrets of Happy Couples.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton dive into a fascinating new study that claims happy couples (Amazon Affiliate) are less likely to post about their partner on social media. While social media has become a staple in modern relationships, is it really necessary to showcase your love online to prove its strength? For first responder couples, where time together is already limited, social media can either enhance or strain a relationship. You'll learn why less posting doesn't mean less love, five key reasons why secure couples don't rely on social media for validation, and how to foster a stronger, more private connection. The Science Behind the Study: Explore what the research says about social media use in relationships and why overly public relationships can sometimes signal insecurity rather than happiness. Five Reasons Why Happy Couples Post Less About Their Partner: 1. They Prioritize Real-Life Connection Over Online Validation: Example: Instead of posting about their date night, they focus on fully enjoying the moment together. Why It's Beneficial: Strengthens in-person intimacy and reinforces emotional connection without outside approval. 2. They Don't Feel the Need to Prove Their Relationship to Others: Example: A couple with a strong bond doesn't need public reassurance through likes and comments. Why It's Beneficial: Builds security within the relationship rather than seeking external validation. 3. They Protect Their Privacy and Relationship Boundaries: Example: A first responder spouse may intentionally keep details about their home life off social media to maintain a level of discretion. Why It's Beneficial: Helps safeguard personal details, especially in careers where privacy is crucial. 4. They Avoid the “Highlight Reel” Trap: Example: Instead of curating a perfect online image, they embrace the ups and downs of real life together. Why It's Beneficial: Promotes authenticity and prevents unnecessary pressure to appear flawless. 5. They Understand That Social Media Can Create Unnecessary Conflict: Example: A spouse doesn't get upset over an unposted anniversary picture because they know love isn't measured in posts. Why It's Beneficial: Reduces petty arguments and refocuses energy on what truly matters. How This Relates to First Responder Relationships: Learn why couples in high-stress professions may benefit even more from keeping their relationship private and off social media. When Social Media Posting Becomes a Red Flag: Discover the signs that excessive social media use might be covering up insecurity or deeper relationship issues. How to Foster a Stronger Relationship Without Relying on Social Media: Explore actionable ways to strengthen your connection without needing online validation. Why This Matters: In a world where social media dominates communication, it's easy to feel pressured to share every aspect of your relationship online. However, the strongest couples often focus more on real-life moments than digital ones. By prioritizing privacy, trust, and genuine connection, you can create a healthier, more fulfilling relationship—without needing likes or comments to confirm it.

In this episode, Kim talks about the challenge experienced by couples when one person is upset about something the other person does. They miscategorize the problem as the other person's instead of their own. The problem lies with the person who is most upset by it. If you own the problem, then it's your responsibility to fix it. This puts you in the driver's seat. Otherwise, you are powerless to fix it while waiting for your partner to change. Additionally, Kim discusses not staying in relationships where you are not receiving even the bare minimum you want. More of Kim's views on couples can be found in her book, Secrets of Happy Couples.

(SPOILERS) I begin by previewing some things that Courtney has to say and discuss some topics from the Daily Roundup.  Then Courtney joins me (8:52) to talk about her kids with one on the way, how her Happy Couple weekends were compared to now, the social media improvement the show has made, and much, much more. Music written by Jimmer Podrasky (B'Jingo Songs/Machia Music/Bug Music BMI) Ads: OUAI - Promo Code: RealitySteve for 15% off any product Mint Mobile - $15/month when you purchase a 3 month plan!

   The gang style shootout at Union Station still has more questions than answers.  How many "victims" aren't innocent is at the top of my list?  How many gang members were there?  How many shooters got away?  Who is the killer?  Do you have any leads on who fired the deadly shot?  But hey, who cares, really? The governor referred to the shooters as "thugs" and that left the door open to complete change the story and make it about racism.  Mayor Q stepped up and delivered like Patrick Mahomes on a game winning drive.  So predictable.    The first year of Covid "vaccine" death stats are alarming... wait until you hear the numbers versus every other vax available today.    KU turns it on in the second half at OU and many think they turned the corner.  Hunter Dickinson was unstoppable and the Jayhawks are still projected as a two seed in the tourney.  We'll break it all down.    Royals reliever Will Smith recruited Seth Lugo to sign with KC and the back story of how this happened will bring a smile to your face.    And Taylor and Travis win big individual awards Sunday night... its actually kind of funny.

Ah, love and money - since it's the Month of Love, we need to talk about it. Love and money are complicated things that bring up so many different emotions and feelings that are very real. You know what I'm talking about if you've ever been in a relationship. And look, even if you don't talk about money with your partner or keep separate bank accounts, those feelings are still simmering under the surface. That's where my two friends, Heather and Doug Boneparth, come in. Yep, a couple who talks about money for a living. Doug is a CFP and founder of Bone Fide Wealth. You may recognize him from CNBC and countless articles in popular publications. Heather, his wife, is a “celebrity” in her own right as a writer and former corporate attorney who now runs business and legal affairs for their company. She and Doug have joined forces to create their popular newsletter, The Joint Account, and are working on a second book, navigating the power struggle over money in relationships. In this episode, we collectively roll up our sleeves to have a fun and insightful conversation about how to practically navigate these power struggles and dive deep into some of the most common issues couples have around money, like what to do if one partner wants to splurge on something and the other is admittedly against it. Been there and done that one. If you're in a relationship or looking to get into one, this episode is just what the Love Dr. ordered.

A lot of health and beauty advice has been passed down over many generations. And a lot of it is just plain wrong! Listen as this episode begins with a little myth busting when it comes to some of the things mom told you to do and not do to stay healthy and beautiful. https://www.everbeautiful.com/2010/1622/ten-popular-beauty-myths-debunked Are there actual benefits to watching sports? Yes – several, according to Larry Olmsted author of the book Fans: How Watching Sports Makes us Happier, Healthier and More Understanding (https://amzn.to/2T6YUs1). Listen as Larry explains how and why being a sports fan has so many physical, mental and social benefits. Even if you are not a sports fan, you may want to become one after you listen to Larry.  What causes relationships to sour? It turns out that it isn't so much the big arguments and fights – it's really the little things. Or, to be more precise, the lack of little things that wears down any romantic relationship, family relationship or friendship. Carol Bruess is a social scientist who studies relationships and she is here to explain why relationships need lots of small doses of positivity to succeed and thrive. Listen as she explains exactly how to do it. Carol has a TED Talk on messy relationships you can watch here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOnl76UqUcw&t=14s . She is also author of the book What Happy Couples Do (https://amzn.to/3A8yLcU). How much of your life do you think or talk about the weather? A lot more than you realize because weather is important to us all. In fact, more important than you think. Listen as I explain. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1278257/We-spend-SIX-MONTHS-lives-just-talking-weather.html PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
