Podcasts about love and relationships

Welcome to our closing episode for the mental health month! We are often drawn to narcissists due to a combination of complex psychological factors. Their charismatic charm, confidence, and seemingly larger-than-life presence can initially captivate us. Unfortunately, this attraction often leads to a painful cycle of manipulation, emotional abuse, and neglect, as narcissists prioritize their own needs above all else.Today, Violetta starts the episode by defining what is a narcissist and the characteristics to look out for. She proceeds with enumerating the different mind games narcissistic people often do to trick us into believing they genuinely care and other character traits to help us spot if we are dealing with one. And finally, she ends it with the most common reasons why many find narcissistic people attractive.

TW: Self harmWhy is self-love crucial for a fulfilling life? One answer lies in the transformative power of healthy living. Embracing self-love means nourishing our bodies, minds, and souls with the care they deserve. When we prioritize our well-being, engaging in regular exercise, consuming nutritious foods, and practicing mindfulness, we cultivate a profound connection with ourselves. Today on Almost Adulting, Violetta welcomes Pursuit of Wellness host and Bloom Nutrition founder Mari Llewellyn. Mari's journey to self betterment started when she finally decided to heal her body and mind through consuming a healthy diet and the continuous pursuit of wellness. She also shares her episodes of self harm, dealing with shame, and why showing up for yourself is the best form of self love.

We often project our limits onto other people because it can be difficult to recognize and confront our own limitations. By projecting our limitations onto others, we may feel a temporary sense of relief or justification for our own shortcomings. However, this type of behavior can be harmful both to ourselves and those around us, as it can limit our personal growth and prevent us from seeing the full potential in others. Today on Almost Adulting, Violetta welcomes the one and only Jay Shetty. Jay Shetty is a New York Times best-selling author, podcaster, former monk, and motivational speaker. He spent several years as a monk in India, where he learned about mindfulness, meditation, and spirituality. Jay's work focuses on personal development, mindfulness, and self-improvement. He also hosts a popular podcast called "On Purpose with Jay Shetty," where he interviews various guests on topics related to personal growth and spirituality. Together with Jay, Violetta opens the door to being more in-tune with yourself as she and Jay exchange ideas on the limitations we set on ourselves and for others, understanding the different forms of love, why our fears can be defined as unformed boundaries, and how to connect with people with vulnerability and openness.

Episode S3 E11, was inspired by a conversation that I had with a classy, beautiful sisterfriend who finds herself smitten by a handsome, charming man who boomeranged back into her life. One night my friend called me and we talked into the wee hours of the morning about the "situationship" (her word not mines) that she's in. It's natural for a heterosexual woman to desire the attention and companionship of a man. But at what cost do we entertain a man? This is what I talk about in this episode. Btw, my friend granted me permission to share her story.  CONNECT WITH DEBORA Want to change your life?

Why do men pull away in relationships? This is a common question that many women ask themselves when their partner begins to withdraw emotionally or physically. While there are many reasons why this may happen, it's important for couples to communicate openly and honestly about their feelings and needs in order to address any issues that may be causing a rift in the relationship. Today, Violetta is set on discussing the psychology behind why men pull away, the three steps to deal with the situation when a man pulls away, and how dating can be beautiful and perfect but it's all rainbows and butterflies. It often comes with some form of conflict.

Life is like a game of Jenga, you never know which block is going to make the whole thing come crashing down. One minute you're on top of the world, and the next you're wondering how you ended up in a pile of rubble. But that's the beauty of life, isn't it? The unpredictability keeps things interesting and makes every day a new adventure, or in some instances, a misadventure. Today, Violetta listens to brand new stories from Reddit. One talks about falling in love with his student ten years younger than him while the other is about a 70 year old grandpa who gets tangled in what's probably the most unrealistic opportunity when he meets with a 20-year old babysitter one evening.

Have you ever found yourself trapped in a cycle of self-hate, unable to escape the negative thoughts and feelings that consume you? It's a painful and difficult place to be, but it's not a permanent one. With time, patience, and effort, you can break free from the grip of self-hate and learn to love yourself fully and completely. Today on Almost Adulting, Violetta welcomes Lainey Molnar - a digital artist with thousands of followers online who draws women empowerment comics to liberate women from the immense societal pressure and to help all of us heal and grow through (self-)love, kindness, and acceptance. Violetta and Lainey share their most vulnerable experiences starting from growing through a long phase of self-hate that became debilitating, self-doubt that made you feel less and ugly and unworthy of love, to the double standards of hookup culture and breaking free from an abusive relationship.Advertise with Almost Adulting at Gumball.fm KITSCH - Get 30% off of your order by visiting https://myKITSCh.com/adulting What to Listen For:00:00 Intro01:59 “I live all over the world…”05:50 How do you say it in Hungarian?06:49 When did you start illustrating women's issues?09:33 Advocating for women's rights13:49 How can you tell you're existing in your feminine energy?19:00 Don't hate yourself too much22:29 Your inadequacy demon28:14 I used to be an extremely unhappy, self-hating person33:57 We can't just deal with the happy things37:16 Three downsides of hookup culture44:04 Deciding to be a celibate50:50 Keeping yourself safe thru casual sex55:03 Mentally, sexually, and physically abusive partner58:00 Getting out of an abusive relationship01:02:49 Being able to recognize the red flags Connect with Lainey on:https://www.bylainey.com/ https://www.instagram.com/lainey.molnar/https://www.facebook.com/bylaineymolnar/https://www.tiktok.com/@lainey.molnar Get more content on:https://www.instagram.com/almostadulting/https://www.instagram.com/violetbenson/https://www.instagram.com/daddyissues_/ https://www.youtube.com/c/daddyissues See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
