Podcasts about relationship boundaries

This week, DB reflects on last week's fantastic conversation with Dr. Claire Perelman. Let's take a moment to really unpack jealousy and envy, no matter if you're ENM or monogamous. What does jealousy say about us -- and what does it not? There's a sense of shame around jealousy that we can move past using our emotional honesty and by naming what we're feeling. Plus: a vocab lesson on jealousy versus envy. They're different! JEALOUSY SCRIPTS YOU CAN STEALWhen jealousy pops up mid-scroll: “Hey love, I'm feeling a jealousy pang. I'm going to take 10 minutes to breathe and journal, then could we do a quick check-in about Friday's plans? I think I need a clearer start/stop time so I can plan something for me.” When you need reassurance without rules: “I'm not asking you to stop seeing them. I'm asking for a reassurance ritual--a goodnight text and a Saturday morning debrief. That would help my nervous system a lot.” When you want to celebrate your partner but still have feels: “I'm happy you had a great date, and I'm noticing some jealousy in me. Could we carve 30 minutes tomorrow for us? I want to reconnect.” Repair after a jealous blow-up: “I got flooded and got snappy. I'm sorry. The story in my head was ‘I'm being replaced.' Here's what I'm going to try next time: pause, breathe, then ask for a check-in.” ABOUT SEASON 12 Season 12 of Sex Ed with DB is ALL ABOUT PLEASURE! Solo pleasure. Partnered pleasure. Orgasms. Porn.

Bounderies in anything are not there  to fully restrict but merely there to serve as a bit of control to the level of acess  one enjoys in a thing and in this aspect, in the relationship.

Can swinging ever be truly “equal”? In this honest and insightful video, John and Jackie from OpenLove101.com tackle the emotional dynamics of open relationships—especially around gender, jealousy, and fairness. Sparked by a viewer email, they dive into what happens when one partner is more actively exploring than the other, and how communication and trust play a key role in navigating those feelings. From their first threesome experience to emotional growth and lasting friendships, John and Jackie share how open relationships can lead to deeper connection—not resentment. This is a must-watch for anyone exploring non-monogamy or seeking a fresh perspective on love, sex, and emotional balance.

Sometimes what we call “helping” is actually about managing our own anxiety or steering someone else's choices. In this episode, we explore how love and care can get tangled with control—often without us realizing it. We'll look at how this shows up in long-term relationships, and how it can sneak in early with new partners or friends through behaviors that feel supportive on the surface but chip away at our independence underneath. Together, we'll unpack the subtle differences between support that strengthens us and control that weakens us. You'll walk away with practical tools to spot the difference, reflect on your own patterns, and learn what healthier support really looks like—so you can offer it, and recognize it when it's given to you.    Takeaways Why intentions and impact don't always match when it comes to “helping.” The subtle signals that distinguish genuine support from hidden control. How to show up in ways that build trust and independence in any relationship.      Real support builds trust. Control chips away at it.      Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

Everything in life must have a limit/bounderies to it in order to avoid abuse, just like drugs, if you don't have a limit to how you take them, it may harm your organs and in this case your relationship is no different as well.

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm answering your questions, including my dating advice and giving my opinion on the government's rebrand of the Department of Defense to the “Department of War.” Is this really the direction we should be heading? From relationships to reckless policies, we'll cover it all with a dose of honesty and a little humor, as always. :)--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

In this insightful episode, hosts John and Jackie Melfi dive into the important distinction between boundaries and rules in relationships, especially within consensual non-monogamy. They share their personal experiences and wisdom from over 20 years in open relationships to help couples navigate these concepts effectively.   The Melfis explore how boundaries are personal, fluid, and evolve with trust, while rules often feel controlling and parental. Learn how establishing healthy boundaries has helped their relationship thrive and how you can apply these principles to your own relationships.  

The gloves come off in this no-holds-barred conversation about dating preferences, celebrity crushes, and the often unspoken expectations we have for potential partners. Three women, (Andrea, Carmen and Ash) reveal their unfiltered thoughts on what attracts them to men and what sends them running in the opposite direction.  (Original air date 11.24.2021)The chemistry between the hosts creates an atmosphere where nothing is off-limits as they dive into their celebrity crushes - with Chris Hemsworth, Bruce Willis, Idris Alba, Lenny Kravitz and Keanu Reeves sparking passionate debate. But it's not just about famous faces; the conversation reveals how specific their preferences truly are, from body types to grooming habits to personality traits.Balding men, back hair, and personal grooming become hot topics as the women share their honest opinions about male maintenance. "Balding is fine, but don't try to act like you have hair," one host declares, while another firmly states that back hair makes her "want to vomit." Yet beneath these seemingly superficial preferences lies a deeper discussion about authenticity versus pretense, and how honesty about one's appearance reflects character.The most revealing moments come when discussing boundaries and respect in relationships. One host's firm stance against dating married men—"I would never hurt another woman on purpose"—sparks reflection on how personal values shape dating choices. Meanwhile, another's admission that she's "high maintenance" leads to laughter and self-awareness about how their standards have evolved over time.Whether you're currently dating, in a relationship, or just enjoy candid conversations about human connection, this episode offers both entertainment and insight into how attraction works. Join us for this unfiltered look at dating preferences—you might recognize your own dealbreakers or be inspired to reconsider what truly matters when looking for a partner.Thank you for stopping by.

The audiobook is now available on most platforms, including on our website - https://www.codependentmind.com/ In this chapter, we explore relationship boundaries - just as individuals need personal boundaries to maintain autonomy, relationships need boundaries to protect the shared entity of Us. These boundaries define what the partnership is, what each person can expect, and how to balance safety with openness. Without intentional definition, couples often inherit unexamined expectations from family, culture, or religion, which may not fit their needs. Boundaries are not rules to control a partner but agreements that protect and strengthen the relationship itself, ensuring it remains stable, nourishing, and respectful of all three entities—Me, You, and Us. Thank you for rating and reviewing the podcast and the book. It helps others find us.

If you're feeling fatigue, burnout, or just not like yourself lately… this might be why: you're leaking energy. In this solo episode, I'm diving into the three biggest energy drains I've experienced—and what might be draining you without even realizing it. From old friendships that no longer align, to overcommitting from fear of missing out, to the mental loops of comparison and perfectionism… these leaks add up. I'll show you how to spot where your energy is going (and why it's not coming back), how lower motivation and self-control often start with these hidden drains, and how certain interactions—even with people we care about—can fatigue us more than we know. In this episode:  Why even "productive thoughts" like perfectionism tank your nervous system The 3 biggest energy leaks: people, patterns, and mindset Why your lack of motivation might actually be leaking energy, not lack of discipline What emotional labor and “attention residue” have to do with your burnout   This isn't about cutting people off or hustling harder. It's about alignment. Energy alignment. Because when you plug those leaks, everything flows better—creativity, rest, even joy.   00:45 — Energy Leaks: What They Are & Why They Matter 02:00 — When People Drain You: Emotional Labor & Boundaries 08:10 — The Hidden Cost of Overcommitting and Multitasking 10:30 — Mindset Leaks: Perfectionism, Comparison & Burnout 18:50 — How to Audit & Plug Your Biggest Energy Drains LISTEN TO NEXT:  Reparenting Yourself ( ep 287)

Is posting sexy pics online while in a relationship a form of self-expression or just a thirst trap?

In The Wedding Planner, Steve and Mary never technically cross a physical line—but does that mean nothing shady is going on? If you're emotionally invested in someone outside your relationship, is that cheating? This week, DB brings in feminist relationship theory from bell hooks, Esther Perel, and Adrienne Rich to unpack emotional infidelity—what it is, why it happens, and how relationship norms shape who gets away with it. Plus: why women are expected to tolerate emotional neglect, how to set boundaries without controlling your partner, and why emotional closeness doesn't have to be a threat to commitment.

This week's episode begins with a discussion about a recent controversy involving Elon Musk and an alleged baby trap, debating the ethical and financial implications of such a maneuver. The conversation quickly expands into a broader critique of transactional relationships and the unintended consequences for the children involved. The hosts then delve into the complexities of sexual preferences and boundaries, sparked by a listener's complaint about their spouse's aversion to oral sex. Keith suggests a strategic, if somewhat underhanded, approach to resolving the issue, while Mike questions the feasibility of engineering desire. Along the way, they explore the cultural expectations around reciprocity in relationships and the differing ways men and women perform obligations. The conclusion is inconclusive but at least thorough in its over-analysis. Further in, the duo takes a detour into the world of unconventional body modifications, thanks to an inquiry about "prison pearls." The concept is met with equal parts horror and academic fascination, with Keith struggling to remain seated at the thought. Mike, ever the pragmatist, tries to determine the minimum financial incentive required for Keith to undergo the procedure. It is unclear whether the discussion leads to any valuable insights, but it certainly occupies airtime. The episode closes with a meditation on the limits of friendship, particularly when oral sex has entered the equation. A listener laments that a casual favor has resulted in an unshakeable new dynamic with a persistently hopeful friend. Keith and Mike debate whether certain sexual encounters inevitably alter relationships, or if this particular case is simply a failure in communication. The conversation ends without resolution, but with at least one strong recommendation: some friendships are best left untested. Twitter: @ymmvpod Facebook: ymmvpod Email: ymmvpod@gmail.com
