Do you have a "graveyard of broken relationships" because you confront people who hurt you? In this video, Ross Rosenberg introduces the latest addition to his list of codependency personality types: the Abandonment-Sensitive Codependent (or Self-Love Deficient individual). These individuals are highly reactive to perceived abandonment, often confronting the pathological narcissists they are magnetically attracted to, which leads to repeated relationship ruptures. In the video, Ross explains how this creates a self-fulfilling prophecy of loneliness and how it differs from healthier responses or personality disorders like BPD. If you see yourself in this pattern, learn how healing the core wounds of Self-Love Deficit Disorder can help you break the cycle and find peace.Learn more about Self-Love Recovery Treatment at my website: www.SelfLoveRecovery.com#Codependency #SelfLoveDeficitDisorder #AbandonmentIssues #HumanMagnetSyndrome #MentalHealth #RossRosenberg #NarcissisticAbuse #RelationshipAdvice

Can You Find Love Without a Spark by Maine's Coast 93.1

Devotion is not discipline, loyalty, passion, or even commitment. It's an orientation of being that is irrevocable and unconditional—chosen from love, not forced by fear. In this solo episode, Andrew dismantles the common counterfeits of devotion, explains why self-devotion must come first, and shows how two people who choose true devotion create a container where love deepens, desire grows, and evolution is permissioned—not policed. What you'll learn • Devotion defined: Not what you do, but who you are while you do it. Identity, not strategy. • Irrevocability matters: Real devotion has no escape hatch. It doesn't depend on moods, convenience, or someone else's performance. • Devotion vs. discipline: One is love-fueled, fluid, and energy-giving; the other is fear-driven, rigid, and resentful. • Self-devotion first: Without it, you'll self-abandon, people-please, or demand others fill your void. • Devotion in relationship: Mutual, freely chosen surrender that creates safety to evolve, explore, and keep passion alive long term. • Counterfeits to watch for: Duty, loyalty, white-knuckled commitment, and performative spirituality masquerading as depth. • The reward: A container strong enough to carry greatness—in love, sex, health, craft, leadership, and spirituality. Key ideas & segments • Why the word “devotion” is abused online: Advice without embodiment cheapens the concept. • Essence over effort: A monk doesn't “do” devotion a few hours a day—he becomes it. • Freedom through permanence: Choosing an irrevocable path removes the exhausting “should I stay or go?” middle ground. • Permission to evolve: True devotion loves who your partner is, not what they do, which creates space for growth and exploration. • How fear sneaks in: When commitment is a survival strategy, you'll get stability without aliveness—and a ton of resentment. • Practical contrast (health example): Fear-based control drains; love-based devotion sustains. • Dominance & submission nuance: Disciplined pleasing creates collapse and resentment; devoted surrender lights both people up. Memorable lines • “Devotion isn't about gripping to commitment. It's who you are while you live, work, parent, and make love.” • “If you're devoted ‘for a year,' you're still in new-relationship energy. That's not devotion.” • “Discipline says, ‘I have to.' Devotion says, ‘I choose to. I'm grateful to.'” • “There are experiences you don't even get to start having until you've decided there's no backdoor.” • “My devotion is to her, not to what she does. That's why she has permission to evolve.” • “Counterfeit devotion is revocable and fear-based. Real devotion is irrevocable and love-fueled.” Who this is for • Men and women who are tired of performative love and want the real thing. • Couples who crave growing closeness and hotter sex years in, not just at the start. • Anyone ready to trade white-knuckled control for love-fueled liberation.

How do we love others deeply without losing ourselves in the process? God's Word shows us how to set boundaries that protect our hearts, honor Him, and keep love strong. This Sunday, Pastor James continues our Living Within the Lines series with a message called Love Without Losing.

In this episode of The Better Sex Podcast, I talk with sex and relationship coach, Dr. Jeni Wahlig, co-founder of Powerful Love Relationships and creator of the Powerful Love Method. Together we explore how to create “next level love” through radical self-leadership—even when your partner isn't ready or willing to do the work. In this conversation, we dive into Jeni's Awareness → Choice → Power framework and how it helps you stop repeating old patterns, renegotiate agreements with freedom and repair, and reframe conflict as an opportunity for deeper trust. Along the way, Jeni shares her powerful personal story: a seven-year, on-again off-again journey with her partner Cal that spanned other marriages, included the heartbreak of separation, and ultimately led to their reconnection. She describes how shifting from blame to personal leadership not only transformed their relationship but also became the foundation of the Powerful Love Method she now teaches. From there, we open into a candid look at polyamory—not as a lifestyle of multiple partners, but as an identity and a practice of love as something expansive. Jeni explains why this perspective reshapes what it means to have a soulmate, and how embracing fluidity and ongoing repair can create resilience in any relationship, monogamous or not. This episode is your invitation to step into relational leadership—so you can claim your power, create safety for intimacy to grow, and experience the extraordinary love you deserve.

Hey, it's Brig! In this episode, I'm diving into de-centering men without dismissing them. This isn't about being anti-men but becoming "pro-you." I unpack the stress women carry when our worth is tied to relationships with men, and how we can reclaim sovereignty.  What You'll Learn: Historical Conditioning: How laws and culture, like credit restrictions until 1974, mandated centering men. Everyday Conditioning: How childhood, church, media, and dating advice push us to prioritize men. Reasons to De-Center: I share five powerful reasons to de-center men: your worth is inherent, not tied to a man; centering men causes health-damaging stress, especially for Black women; prioritizing men isn't true connection if it erases you; de-centering lets men be whole, fostering healing; and it means choosing love from truth, not panic. Remember that de-centering isn't about rejecting love but reclaiming your power to choose it freely. Let's build a life where love is a choice, not a chain, and step into true sovereignty together.

Is it possible to love someone without affirming their decisions and choices? How does God want us to treat those with whom we disagree? In this episode, Eric and John sit down to have a compassionate discussion on these questions and so much more.

In this episode, we wrestle with Jesus' disruptive words in Matthew 5:43–48: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” What does “enemy” even mean in our context? Why is avoidance such a natural default? And how is Jesus' call to be perfect not about flawless performance, but about becoming whole—marked by indiscriminate, agapē love? Together we reflect on how loving those it's easiest to rationalize away isn't weakness, but the solid foundation of a life rooted in Christ.

The sin of partiality is a subtle sin that has not stopped plaguing for 2000 years.

In today's episode, we explore a subtle but powerful truth: real love doesn't always come with advice, solutions, or action. Sometimes, the most calming and compassionate thing we can offer another person is simply our presence. When we stop trying to fix others and instead let them feel seen, heard, and accepted exactly as they are, we invite peace into the relationship and into ourselves. By releasing the pressure to “make things better,” we create space for deeper connection, trust, and ease. Love doesn't always have to be loud. Often, it's at its most powerful when it's just still. “Calm grows in the space between presence and permission—when we let people be exactly who they are.”   Thanks for Listening!

Rev. Emily McGinley preaches on Luke 14:12-24. "When we follow Jesus' instructions and go out to the nooks and crannies, cracks and crevices of the neighborhoods and back alleys, we will indeed discover, fearsome, dangerous, and heartbreaking truths about the world. And because of that, we will also find a path to honest lament…to true healing…to complete wholeness…and to authentic connection. "

Have you ever given your heart to someone… only to feel like it wasn't enough? I open up about the fears that show up in our closest relationships—the fear of not being enough, the fear of loving too much, the fear of being left without explanation.I've been there. Again and again. I gave love, and I got silence. I trusted, and I was abandoned. I hoped, and I was disappointed. And maybe you've been there too.Maybe you're still carrying the unhealed patterns from your childhood—your parents' way of relating, the rules they never spoke but lived by. I know I did. And I kept wondering: What am I doing wrong? Why do I always end up hurt?This episode isn't just about pain. It's about awakening. It's about learning to ask the hard questions. And about learning to give love without losing yourself.I share stories about past relationships, my parents, my brother, and the brave steps I had to take to free myself from the cycle of blame and fear.If you've ever felt like you cared more… If you've stayed silent because you feared the answer… If you've taken it all against yourself… This episode is for you. You're not alone. And if this touched your heart, I would truly love to hear from you—on Instagram, YouTube, or by email.BOOKS:

In a world where “love” is often redefined by culture, how can Christian parents teach their daughters to love others while remaining anchored to God's unchanging truth? This week on the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa tackle one of the most pressing and sensitive conversations facing families today—how to love without compromise during LGBTQ Pride Month and beyond.  Our girls are growing up in an age of loud messages about identity, sexuality, and affirmation—many of which directly contradict the Biblical Worldview. Whether they hear it in school, see it on social media, or experience it within their own friend groups, they're being asked to choose between “truth” and “love”. But what if they don't have to? What if, instead, we taught them how to walk in both—just like Jesus did?  This episode features insights from AHG Founder and Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay, who reminds us that Jesus never separated love from truth. With a Biblical lens from Matthew 5:17 and John 1:14, Rachael and Melissa reflect on the importance of helping our daughters see people first, speak the truth boldly, and love others deeply without affirming sin. They also share personal stories—from late-night questions to identity confusion in the tween years—and offer encouragement for parents navigating similar seasons.  You'll walk away with practical tools to help your girl understand that true love is not silent in the face of sin, nor is it unkind in the name of righteousness. Instead, Biblical love rejoices in the truth and points others to the hope and freedom found in Christ.  Whether you're having a conversation around the dinner table or sitting fireside at AHG camp, this episode will equip you to disciple your daughter with clarity, compassion, and confidence.  Subscribe now and join the Raising Godly Girls community as we raise daughters who reflect Christ's love—full of grace and truth.  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org        Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

How do we love like Jesus in a world that favors status, appearance, and similarity? In this powerful sermon from James 2, Pastor Jeremiah Genin unpacks the biblical command to show no partiality—challenging us to love others not based on status or comfort, but through the lens of Christ's love and mercy. You'll discover how favoritism within the church breaks the heart of God and contradicts the very nature of the Gospel. Through practical teaching and Spirit-filled insight, this message calls us back to the royal law: to love our neighbor as ourselves. When we reflect the mercy we've received from Jesus, we become a church marked by grace, humility, and unity. If you're looking for a church in Madison, WI that is Christ-centered, Spirit-led, and committed to building authentic community, we invite you to join us at Chapel Valley Church. This sermon answers: What does it mean to love others without showing partiality? Why does favoritism in the church contradict the message of Jesus? How can we reflect God's mercy in how we treat those around us? From Chapel Valley Church in Madison, WI. Join us as Pastor, Jeremiah Genin, shares the word of God.

When your image of God is shaped more by fear than by love, something has to change. In this thought-provoking episode of the AVAIL Podcast, we're joined by Paul Young—author of The Shack and Lies We Believe About God, and founder of the William Paul Young Initiative. Paul opens up about his deeply personal journey through addiction, infidelity, and pain—and how it all led him to discover the transformative power of God's unconditional love. Together with host Virgil Sierra, Paul explores the lies we carry about God, the importance of questioning without losing faith, and how living in the present moment helps us truly experience the Divine. This episode is a must-listen for anyone craving a more honest, grace-filled faith.

Have you ever heard of FOMO? It's the “fear of missing out,” and it's something we all experience in different seasons for different reasons. But what if you're not missing out at all? What if—even if you're not quite where you want to be—you're exactly where you're supposed to be? In this episode, Meghan Ryan Asbury will help you see that the life you have is the life you actually want. She'll equip you to cast off the pressures of comparison, mitigate the disappointment that comes with unmet expectations, and embrace the in-between of where you are and where you want to be. Spoiler Alert: You might be surprised by how much joy is available to you on this day, in this season! So, if you've ever felt like life is passing you by and you're falling behind, listen in, and get ready to build a life you love with the one you already have.
