Podcasts about relationship boundaries

Are you constantly managing your partner's moods, avoiding conflict, or walking on eggshells? In this episode, discover how emotional over-responsibility can cause you to lose yourself in a relationship. Learn the difference between supporting your partner and carrying their emotions, how to reconnect with your needs and values, and how to stop making another adult's emotional stability your responsibility.

In part Two of this weeks episode of So Shameless, the crew gets into dating, gender roles, friendship boundaries and what actually counts as disrespect when you're in a relationship. Should men be expected to handle the traditionally masculine things while women handle the feminine things in a relationship—or are those expectations outdated? We also debate whether men ruin friendships with women by eventually wanting sex, and whether a woman planning AND paying for the third date is showing healthy interest or doing way too much, way too soon. Plus, do men take women who are constantly dating different people seriously when it comes time to choose a relationship? Paris opens up about her history of dating the “fun guys”—men who are into clubs, bars, cars, clothes and the lifestyle—and whether choosing excitement over stability may have been working against her. Then we get into social media relationship boundaries: Is a man liking other women's pictures on Instagram harmless, or is it disrespectful to his relationship? Finally, the crew reacts to Funky Dineva's controversial comments about parents bringing autistic children into public spaces where people have a “reasonable expectation of peace,” including restaurants and airplanes—and whether expecting that kind of “peace” in a shared public space is reasonable in the first place. Dating expectations. Gender roles. Friendship. Social media. Relationship boundaries. And another conversation where the cast of So Shameless and their guests probably aren't going to agree on anything. Enjoy!

Our 2 Cents Vol. 39 relationship advice starts with a heavy question from a Booski asking what else she can do to save a marriage where she feels like she is carrying the financial load, the mental load, the decision-making, and the intimacy. Nesha G and Moelethal talk through the painful space where love may be real and effort may exist, but the marriage still may not be giving one partner what they need.In this episode, we discuss a wife who feels exhausted after years of repeating herself, a friendship that falls apart over trust, secrecy, and an address, and a single mother trying to remove her name from a house she co-signed for her ex-boyfriend's mother nine years ago. Nesha and Moe also respond to wedding drama involving a sister's new boyfriend, a girlfriend upset over a late-night board game hangout, and updates from past Booski stories.This Our 2 Cents episode is about boundaries, accountability, emotional exhaustion, trust, legal protection, family pressure, and knowing when patience has turned into tolerance.Send us Fan MailSupport the show Thanks for rocking with us!

Love changes when life starts asking for more than butterflies. In this episode of Life After I Do, Nesha G and Moelethal look at who they were then, who they are now, and what twenty-plus years of love, bills, parenting, sacrifice, attraction, and emotional honesty will really teach you.In this episode, we discuss the evolution of romance when uninterrupted cuddling feels like a luxury, why listening can be more intimate than a grand gesture, and how communication changes when you stop sugarcoating your truth. Nesha opens up about becoming more direct with age, while Moe brings the humor, honesty, and emotional vulnerability that has always shaped their relationship.The conversation moves from marriage reflection into real-life Our 2 Cents dilemmas about affair babies, messy in-law dynamics, protecting your child from family favoritism, and emotional cheating disguised as “being there for a friend.” It is funny, grown, petty, and honest in the way only Life After I Do can be.Send us Fan MailSupport the show Thanks for rocking with us!

Your support helps us continue creating honest conversations about relationships, boundaries, healing, personal growth, and navigating modern dating. In this episode of The Glen Gilbert Connection, Glen Gilbert is joined once again by Chris Bulik from The Good Faith Podcast to break down some of Reddit's most complicated relationship dilemmas. They react to a woman whose longtime male friend confessed his love despite knowing she was a lesbian, a boyfriend who publicly portrays his girlfriend as "hysterical" in front of friends, and a heated debate about whether going clubbing while in a committed relationship is a reasonable boundary or a major red flag. Glen and Chris also discuss pedestalizing partners, protecting your partner's reputation, validation, trust, and the challenges that can quietly sabotage otherwise healthy relationships. The conversation continues with a relationship strained by anxious attachment, where one partner's insecurity pushes the other toward a breaking point. Glen and Chris explore the importance of self-awareness, personal accountability, and why no relationship can fix problems that someone refuses to address within themselves. They wrap up by discussing a common communication mistake: planning your response instead of truly listening. Through personal stories and practical insights, they explain how empathy, presence, and emotional awareness can transform relationships and create deeper connection.

I was walking on a beach when God said something I wasn't ready to hear. Not comfort. Not ease. Peace. "If you don't bring me peace, you don't get a place at my table." I thought I understood what that meant. I didn't. I thought protecting my peace meant cutting out anyone who challenged me. But challenge is not the enemy of peace — emotional hijacking is. Some people don't challenge you. They hijack you. You leave every interaction drained, defensive, replaying the conversation in the shower at 2am. That's not growth — it's an open loop quietly stealing your energy, and it won't close itself. If you're tired of draining relationships that never change, this episode gives you a way to discern who belongs at your table — and the courage to stop setting a place for those who don't. In this episode: • The difference between a holy challenge and emotional hijacking • The "aftermath test" — one question that reveals who stays at your table • 4 practical steps to protect your peace — no drama, no guilt • Why protecting your peace is stewardship, not selfishness This is the heart of Stop Stealing From Yourself — starting with the relationships you keep saying yes to.

From Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz-Beckham to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, we've watched family rifts play out publicly. But behind the headlines is a dilemma many people face in their own lives: what happens when the person you love doesn't fit into the family you come from? This week, Kate Langbroek sits down with world-renowned relationship therapist Esther Perel to discuss one of the most emotionally complicated tensions of adulthood — choosing your partner while trying to maintain your relationship with your family. Why do some parents struggle to accept their child's partner? Why can falling in love feel like betrayal? And when family conflict erupts, how do you protect your relationship without losing the people who raised you? Together, Kate and Esther unpack family estrangement, difficult in-laws, loyalty, intimacy, and the relationship patterns we inherit from our parents — and whether it's possible to build a marriage that looks different from the one we grew up with.

You can love somebody deeply and still reach a point where you no longer enjoy being around them. In this episode, Nesha G and Moelethal unpack the uncomfortable possibility that marriages are not always destroyed by a lack of love, but by the slow disappearance of friendship, enjoyment, respect, affection, and genuine “like.”In this episode, we discuss what it means to remain committed when everyday connection starts fading, why love can carry couples through hardship, and why liking your spouse creates the happiness that makes the relationship worth returning to. Nesha and Moe explore how thoughtful gestures, shared laughter, physical intimacy, emotional security, respect, and feeling pursued can keep long-term love alive.The conversation also gets personal as they name the habits they tolerate but do not necessarily like about each other, including time management, spending, dinner expectations, household responsibilities, and communication. Then Our 2 Cents tackles personal freedom in marriage, entitled family members, financial boundaries, and who truly deserves to be inside the delivery room.Send us Fan MailLead to GoldThe podcast devoted to discussing realistic growth and wellness.

What do you do if a friend tells you something deeply personal? Maybe they're getting divorced, or they're pregnant but haven't publicly announced it.This week, I'm sharing a friendship boundary that Michael and I have held for years, including the kinds of things we don't share with each other, why some of our friends are shocked to learn we've kept their secrets for months (or years), and the role trust plays in building strong friendships, communities, and marriages.I know this is a hot take. But I think there's a difference between hiding something from your partner and holding something for your friend.This episode is sponsored by Slowly, a digital penpal app used by over 10 million people worldwide!

Sometimes the biggest shift in a relationship is not losing love, it is realizing love has to grow up with the life you built. Between parenting fatigue, bills, emotional needs, family drama, and trying to keep intimacy alive when the house never feels quiet, marriage starts asking different questions than it did in the beginning.In this episode of Life After I Do, Nesha G and Moelethal sit down for a “then versus now” conversation that gets funny, honest, petty, and surprisingly tender. They compare who was more romantic, who sacrificed more, who communicates better, who forgives faster, and how parenting changes the way couples experience affection, rest, and connection.Then the episode moves into Our 2 Cents, where the real-life dilemmas involving affair babies, grandparents stuck between loyalty and access, sister-in-law drama, protecting children from family favoritism, a teenager exploring identity, and a relationship ending over emotional boundaries with a coworker. Nesha and Moe bring the kind of seasoned, lived-in perspective that only comes from two people who have loved each other through different versions of themselves.Send us Fan MailSupport the show Thanks for rocking with us!

Sometimes the biggest relationship red flags are not loud at first. They show up in the small choices, like canceling your girlfriend's birthday dinner for a female coworker, letting your mother disrespect your wife, or pretending money does not matter when dating starts getting serious.In Our 2 Cents Vol. 34, Nesha G and Moelethal bring their honest, funny, and seasoned perspective to a new round of relationship dilemmas. They talk through whether a man in his 40s with no money for dates deserves patience or concern, why financial transparency can be both admirable and uncomfortable, and how pride can ruin a good dating opportunity before it even gets started.The episode also digs into deeper marriage territory, including work-wife boundaries, old-school expectations around men driving, and what happens when a husband refuses to defend his wife from his mother. Through every story, Nesha and Moe bring that real twenty-year chemistry, mixing jokes, truth, and life experience in a way that makes the listener laugh first and think deeper after.Send us Fan MailSupport the show Thanks for rocking with us!

Let us know what you think about the podcast!Episode 218: How to Focus on What You Can Control When Family Relationships Are HardWhen a relationship is strained, it's so tempting to think: If I say it the right way… if I do enough… if I stay kind enough… then they'll finally respond the way I need them to. But the truth is, you can't control what someone else thinks, feels, or does. What you can control is how you show up, and that's where change begins.In this episode, you'll learn:How Stephen R. Covey's “Circles” framework helps you sort what you're worried about (concern) from what you can impact (influence) and what you can actually choose (control).The difference between control and influence and why confusing the two often leads to frustration, resentment, and burnout.Why blame, of yourself or others, quietly steals your power and what to do instead when you feel stuck.What “your inputs” really are in a struggling relationship and how to check whether you're expecting something different than what you're planting.A simple journaling question to help you reclaim steadiness and integrity: “Who am I being in the relationship, and how is that in my control?”When you focus on your circle of control, your thoughts, feelings, actions, and relational inputs, you stop chasing the impossible job of managing someone else's inner world. You may not be able to control outcomes, but you can keep planting what aligns with who you want to be. Over time, that steadiness changes you, and it often shifts the relationship more than force ever could. Tina Gosney is the Family Conflict Coach.

Sometimes the argument is not really about the dishes, the video game, the slow text, or the family event. Sometimes the reaction is just the part your partner can see, while the real issue is feeling unheard, unsupported, or taken for granted.In this episode of Life After I Do, Nesha G and Moelethal unpack what men and women overreact about in relationships and marriage. Their conversation moves from funny everyday triggers like chores, football, gaming, and getting ready to deeper truths about emotional safety, communication, intimacy, and the difference between joking to lighten the mood and joking to avoid accountability.The Our 2 Cents segment brings three strong dilemmas into the room: a husband who told his mother-in-law she could not visit the hospital after the birth, a boyfriend who cannot move past cheating that happened early in the relationship, and a grandmother who refuses to keep babysitting toddlers while working from home. Through each story, the episode keeps asking the same question in different ways: are you overreacting, or are you finally respecting your own boundary?Send us Fan MailMessy Midlife: Honest conversations about hormones, identity, and change.Three naturopathic doctors.

Marriage will make you ask a hard question: are we both sacrificing, or are we just keeping score? In this episode of Life After I Do, Nesha G and Moelethal use their real twenty-year chemistry to unpack the invisible weight behind marriage, parenting, provision, career pauses, and the emotional labor that often goes unnamed. In this episode, we discuss whether men sacrifice more in marriage, whether women carry the heavier emotional and mental load, and why “50/50” rarely tells the whole truth. The conversation moves from provider pressure and financial responsibility to motherhood, identity loss, postpartum emotions, career sacrifice, and the quiet cost of being the default parent.Nesha opens up about what it feels like to think about returning to the workforce after almost seven years away, while Moe reflects on the pressure to provide, protect, and keep the household stable. Together, they land on a mature truth: healthy marriage is not about proving who has it harder, it is about recognizing what your partner carries before resentment starts talking for you.Send us Fan MailSupport the show Thanks for rocking with us!

Have you ever felt jealous… but underneath it was resentment?Maybe you said you were fine. Tried to be chill. Tried to be supportive. Tried not to be “too much.”But deep down, something didn't feel good, and instead of naming it, asking for what you needed, or honoring your discomfort… you pushed it down.Then jealousy showed up carrying all of it.In this episode of Nope! We're Not Monogamous, I'm talking about the connection between jealousy and boundaries, and why jealousy often gets louder when you've been ignoring yourself. We get into:→ why jealousy is often information, not a verdict → how unmet needs can turn into resentment → the difference between boundaries and control → why speaking up can feel so scary → how to ask what jealousy may be asking you to honor → why honesty creates real securityIf you've ever struggled to ask for what you need, felt guilty having boundaries, or tried to be the “cool” partner while quietly hurting, this episode is for you.If jealousy has been running the show, this is exactly why I created Beyond Jealousy, to help you feel more secure, self-trusting, and grounded in love.

Sometimes the real tension in marriage isn't loud—it's quiet, consistent, and slowly pulling you apart. In this volume of Our 2 Cents, Nesha G and Moe G step into the gray areas where love, effort, and accountability don't always align.In this episode, we discuss what happens when one partner is evolving and the other refuses to meet them halfway—especially when health, intimacy, and long-term partnership are on the line. The conversation moves through the emotional weight of carrying the mental load alone, and how quickly support can turn into enabling when boundaries aren't clearly defined. From a marriage impacted by extreme weight gain, to fairness in chores, to navigating disrespect from family, every situation forces the same question—what does real partnership actually require?This episode flows with humor, honesty, and lived experience, showing the balance between holding your partner down and holding them accountable. You'll walk away with clarity on where your boundaries should be, how to communicate your needs without shrinking yourself, and when it's time to stop negotiating with behavior that's hurting the relationship.Send us Fan MailSupport the show Thanks for rocking with us!

Leadership pressure often leaves capable leaders feeling responsible for everything. This episode explores how that strain is rarely about discipline or boundaries, but identity-level misalignment between capability and capacity.Many capable leaders quietly assume that leadership must feel heavy.More responsibility.More decisions.More people depending on them.Over time this pressure can create subtle but persistent tension:• over-carrying problems that were never theirs• quiet resentment in relationships• invisible fatigue that others rarely see• the sense that leadership always requires enduranceBut what if the weight itself is not the requirement?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the final stage of the Identity-Level Recalibration pathway: Renewed Momentum.As responsibility begins returning to the people who actually own it, something unexpected happens.Capacity returns.Not because leadership disappears.Because the nervous system is no longer stabilizing everything in the room.Listeners will explore the quiet difference between:• endurance and true leadership capacity• responsibility and over-functioning• connection and self-erasure in relationshipsThis conversation gently reframes a common leadership belief: that pressure is the price of responsibility.Through Identity-Level Recalibration, the shift begins deeper than habits or boundary strategies. ILR works at the identity level, where capability, responsibility, and nervous system regulation realign.When identity recalibrates, behavior naturally follows.Leadership often becomes clearer, calmer, and surprisingly lighter.Micro RecalibrationWhere in my life is leadership already feeling lighter because I am no longer carrying what doesn't belong to me?You don't need to solve anything today.Just notice.Sometimes renewed momentum begins when responsibility and capacity finally match again.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you→ Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Relationship boundaries often feel confusing when connection matters deeply. This episode explores why relational tension is rarely about selfishness or discipline, but a signal that identity and capacity may have drifted out of alignment.Many capable leaders feel tension around boundaries in relationships.Not because they lack discipline.Not because they don't care deeply about others.Often the tension appears when capable people slowly become the ones holding more responsibility than their nervous system was designed to carry.Over time this can show up as:• Over-accommodating in relationships• Quiet resentment that feels confusing• Emotional fatigue that is difficult to name• Pulling back from people they actually care aboutFrom the outside this can look like a boundary problem.But underneath it often reflects something deeper.Capacity confusion.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores why many high performers are not struggling with boundaries themselves.They are noticing a quiet mismatch between:• capability and responsibility• connection and self-erasure• endurance and true relational capacityWhen responsibility gradually gathers around the most capable person, accommodation can begin replacing clarity.But clarity often creates more safety than accommodation.Clear expectations reduce uncertainty.And uncertainty is what most often creates tension inside relationships.Through the Identity-Level Recalibration pathway, this shift does not begin with techniques or scripts.ILR begins deeper.When identity realigns, relational patterns begin changing naturally.Not through force.Not through strategies.But through alignment.Because connection does not require self-erasure.Healthy relationships can hold clarity.MICRO RECALIBRATIONWhere in my relationships have I been maintaining connection through accommodation instead of clarity?You don't need to change anything today.Just notice.Sometimes recalibration begins when your nervous system realizes:Connection does not disappear when you create space.Often it becomes clearer.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you→ Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.As I prepare for the release of my memoir, Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Journey of Healing from Addiction, Codependency, and People-Pleasing, on April 13th, I have been going back and listening to past podcast episodes that might offer additional support to those reading the book.Revisiting these earlier episodes has been a tender experience.They were recorded during seasons of my own healing when everything was still fresh, when I was actively untangling old patterns in real time, when I was learning how to turn inward instead of reaching outward in pain. There is a rawness in them that feels honest and important.This episode on betrayal is one of those. It originally aired in 2023 from Season 4.Betrayal can take many forms. It is not only about infidelity. It can be secrecy. Addiction. Emotional withdrawal. Broken promises. The moment when something you believed to be true suddenly isn't. It can feel shattering.And yet, in the Recover Your Soul process, we gently shift the focus away from trying to fix, control, or punish the other person and instead turn toward our own healing.In this episode, I share parts of my personal story, including how early family dynamics shaped my understanding of loyalty and relationship, and how betrayal showed up in my own marriage. You will hear me navigating these ideas from an earlier place in my journey, still learning, still softening, still growing.What remains trJoin the community and Recover Your Soul with Rev Rachel.2026 is a big year offering GROUP COACHING, IN-PERSON RETREATS, and our FREE SUPPORT GROUP.  This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not allied or representative of any organizations or religions, but is based on the opinions and experience of Rev.

This episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson covers the conversations people don't want to have, but that won't go away just because they're uncomfortable.We start with the newly released Epstein files and why their implications are being downplayed, rushed past, or deliberately blurred by our government. Then we address the circulating TPUSA / Erika Kirk / Charlie Kirk assassination-related news, breaking down what has actually been reported, what remains unclear, and why responsible people should care about facts, timelines, and accountability (as Candace Owens does). Truth matters, not carefully crafted false narratives.I also speak candidly about Trump's failures because blind loyalty helps no one, and criticism is not betrayal. If leadership is going to demand trust, it has to earn it. Same goes for respect.Finally, because many of you have asked, I address some personal matters: ongoing unwanted attention from men I have clearly and firmly removed from my life, including an individual by the name of Timothy Ronald C. (I will reveal his full legal name publicly if he does not leave me alone) and an ex whose post-NFL career implosions are not my responsibility to manage, nor care about.To be clear: this is not “dragging” solely for entertainment purposes. This is about boundaries I have made (which are very known). I am in a happy, healthy relationship, I have moved on, and these men will never see me again.This episode is about truth, discernment, and refusing to be bullied—politically, culturally, or personally—into silence.This is America, home of the brave and land of the FREE.--https://www.bible.com/

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about three decisions that will determine the next decade of your life. It sounds dramatic, right? But what if the decisions you make about the people you're spending time with, the content you're consuming, and the things you're actively building (or not building) are quietly shaping your future in ways you haven't considered? Jenn shares surprising research about how behaviors can spread through social networks like a contagious disease. So should you be evaluating your friendships with the same scrutiny you'd use for a romantic partner? And when it comes to what you're learning and building, are you making conscious choices or just going through the motions? Is there actually science behind the idea that your income reflects the five people you spend the most time with, and if so, what else might be true? Jenn breaks down these three critical decision points and challenges you to get intentional about where you want to be in 2036. Like what you're hearing?

Send us a textMost people treat relationships and partnerships like 1 + 1 = 2—two individuals simply adding each other to life. But there's a better formula: 1 + 1 = 11.In this episode of Mindset Café, we break down the metaphor that a great relationship doesn't make you shrink, dilute yourself, or lose your identity. You stay a “1,” your partner stays a “1,” and together you become “11”—a stronger, higher-standard force than either of you alone.We talk about public persona vs private reality, why “0.5 + 0.5 = 1” relationships create resentment, how complementary strengths create real synergy, and the habits and standards that turn love, friendship, and business partnerships into something that actually multiplies your life.Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Connect With Devan:https://www.devangonzalez.com/connect----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/https://www.instagram.com/mindsetcafepodcastLet me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.
