Podcasts about toxic patterns

In this episode, we dive deep into a controversial topic that sparked some heated debate between us: "Signs A Woman Couldn't Keep A Good Man If She Had One."What We Discuss:Confusing disrespect with honesty and communication stylesDouble standards in relationships and how we speak to our partnersThe difference between stability and drama in relationshipsUsing vulnerability as a weapon during argumentsSelf-sabotage and why some people are uncomfortable with healthy relationshipsThe importance of accountability and self-awarenessBreaking generational patterns and healing from past traumaLearning to love yourself before loving someone elseKey Takeaways:This isn't just about women or men—it's about recognizing toxic patterns that prevent us from maintaining healthy relationships. We explore how childhood experiences, modeling behavior, and unhealed trauma can create cycles that sabotage good relationships. The conversation gets real about the hard work required to change patterns, the fear of vulnerability, and why being alone with yourself is essential before being with someone else.Follow @trulyunruly_podcast

So many high-achieving women carry silent wounds from emotionally immature or narcissistic mothers—wounds that shape their boundaries, their relationships, and even their sense of self. In this conversation, I'm joined by Catherine Stephens, author of The Toxic Mom Recovery Guide, who has helped countless women break free from painful dynamics and finally step into their own identity.Together, we explore the signs of emotionally immature parenting, the impact of enmeshment, the pressure to “keep the peace,” and the deep desire so many women have to finally be understood. We talk about why overexplaining is a protective pattern, the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, and how to navigate low- or no-contact decisions with clarity and self-respect.This episode is a grounding space for anyone healing mother wounds, untangling guilt, or learning to honor their truth—even when others want them to just “sweep it under the rug.” If you've ever questioned your reality, struggled with boundaries, or felt the weight of generational patterns, this conversation is both validation and liberation.You're not alone—and your healing is not only possible, it's powerful.https://www.catherinethegrace.com/toxicmomrecoveryguide https://linktr.ee/catherine_thegrace✨ Sacred Boundaries: Scripts for Saying No with Love ✨If you've ever felt the pressure to say “yes” when your whole body was begging you to say “no,” you're not alone. So many high-achieving, heart-centered women struggle with guilt, fear of disappointing others, or worry that boundaries will push people away.But the truth is: boundaries don't break relationships—they strengthen them.

Modern dating isn't just “cute kilig stories” anymore. It's ghosting, orbiting, love bombing, FUBU, dating apps, and a whole generation trying to heal childhood wounds through romantic partners. Twins Danah and Stacy Gutierrez unpack how media, MTV dating shows, hypersexual culture, and social media shaped the way they dated: from FUBU “situationships” and toxic patterns, to attachment styles, daddy issues, and why so many women settle for low-quality love just to feel chosen. They talk about: * How MTV, reality dating shows, and K-culture shaped their early views on love and sex * Why so many relationships now start with sex and end in confusion * Attachment styles, childhood wounds, and why you keep chasing emotionally unavailable people * Dating apps, ego boosts, and why “options” can destroy real connection * What healthy dating should look like: emotional safety, shared values, and building instead of performing This isn't a glamorization of their past, but a reckoning with it. If you've ever stayed with the wrong person just to feel seen, or molded yourself to fit a man's preference, this conversation is for you. Come for the chismis, stay for the uncomfortable truth, and maybe walk away with a little more clarity about why you date the way you do.

Most of us don't realize we're in a toxic pattern until we're deep in it — choosing the same partners, having the same fights, or falling into the same role over and over again. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Joy Berkheimer, psychotherapist and relationship expert, to talk about why these patterns feel so familiar, why they're so hard to break, and how to finally choose something healthier. If you've ever wondered “why does this keep f*cking happening?” this conversation will hit home. We cover: Why toxic patterns feel familiar and why that's the problem. Joy breaks down why your brain and body are drawn to what they already know, even when it's not good for you. How to actually recognize a pattern while you're in it. The subtle signs and behaviors that show you're repeating an old story. Why your nervous system keeps you stuck. How fear, comfort, and old survival responses pull you back into the same dynamics. What breaking a toxic pattern really takes. The realistic, day-to-day shifts that help you choose differently, even when it's uncomfortable. How to tell if your intuition is speaking… or if it's anxiety. Joy explains the difference so you can stop second-guessing yourself. What “not abandoning yourself” looks like in real relationships. How to stop minimizing your needs or shrinking to keep the peace. Why change feels scary, lonely, and messy. And why that discomfort is actually a sign you're doing the work. How to reconnect with the version of you who knows they deserve better. Joy shares tools for rebuilding self-worth and choosing healthier connections. Connect with Dr. Joy: On her website HERE!

Are you repeating the same relationship patterns over and over? In this episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, Dr. Nicole Montero dives deep into healing ancestral love wounds so you can stop repeating generational cycles and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Your dreams aren't random—they can diagnose, direct, and heal. In this episode, Michael and Sandy unpack three listener dreams that reveal: a powerful third-eye health gift (and why a black, geometric right eye means “pay attention”), how the feeling of going through life alone traces back to missing unconditional love from Mom, and why repeated toxic relationships often mirror Dad's abandonment—and how to break that cycle. You'll learn how symbols like snow = dairy can point to immune stress, why embarrassment keeps us from “getting our feet wet,” and how balancing masculine & feminine energy unlocks new levels of awareness. We also decode a “chef” symbol (hidden healing ability), a womb-like piano scene (past-life echoes), and the justice theme behind “sold recipes.” Practical takeaways: Use your third eye to sense disharmony—then support it with appropriate medical care. Notice where embarrassment or hyper-independence blocks intimacy. Strengthen boundaries to stop attracting charm-without-character. Rebalance masculine/feminine energy to “see beyond the veil.” P.S.

Recurring setbacks aren't just bad luck or poor discipline, but a subconscious program running on autopilot. In this episode of Brokers of Secrets, William Lam unpacks the psychological “loop” , a hidden, recurring pattern that drives cycles of success followed by collapse across all aspects of life. These loops are not random. They are encoded into your unconscious through early childhood imprinting, social conditioning, and generational trauma. Without realizing it, most people repeat the same emotional cycles such as overworking only to burn out or attracting the same toxic partners, but there is a way out. William reveals how to diagnose your personal loop, decode the secondary emotional gains behind it, and reprogram your subconscious mind from a win/lose or pain/pleasure cycle into a “win or win more” reality. He introduces two powerful tools, the Loop Quiz and the 7-Day Sprint, to help you uncover your loop and permanently break free.Whether you're an entrepreneur, a high performer, or someone ready to stop reliving the same frustrations year after year, this episode offers a transformative roadmap to reclaiming agency over your lifeChapters:(00:00) Introduction(00:49)The Success Failure Loop (02:03) Success Crash Scenarios (06:48) Relationship Loops and Toxic Patterns(20:41) Repeating Relationship Cycles Explained(25:56) The Savior Complex(27:47) Health and Fitness Motivation Loops(31:07) Awareness, Reprogramming, and Next StepsLearn more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://upgrd.comFollow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/theupgrd

What happens when repair in your family isn't possible—at least not yet? In this powerful follow-up to last week's conversation on family pain, psychologist and author Dr. Joshua Coleman sits with me as we explore the heartbreak and complexity of family estrangement—from both sides of the story. With deep compassion and personal insight, Dr. Coleman shares what he's learned through decades of research—and from his own journey as a parent who experienced estrangement from his adult daughter. Whether you're the one who stepped away from a parent or you're a parent who's been cut off by a child, this conversation offers a rare, balanced look at a path to healing. Dr. Coleman shares: Why estrangement is rising—and what's really behind it When a temporary break might be helpful What to do if your parent won't take responsibility—or if your child won't re-engage How humility (not humiliation) opens the door to healing Practical guidance for both adult children and estranged parents If you've ever wrestled with how to honor a parent who hurt you—or how to rebuild with a child who's walked away—this episode is full of wisdom, hope, and next steps.

What do you do when your family is the source of your deepest wounds? How do you hold onto your identity without cutting off the people who raised you? In this transformative conversation, therapist and relationship coach Jerry Wise discusses the concept of self-differentiation—a powerful framework for healing from family dysfunction without shame or blame. Whether you're navigating complex family ties, considering going no contact, or simply longing to feel more like you, this episode offers a clear path forward rooted in wisdom, compassion, and courage. Jerry shares: His own journey from dysfunction to emotional clarity Why cutting ties doesn't always lead to healing—and what might How to spot when you're still emotionally enmeshed (even with distance) Practical steps to stop reacting and start reclaiming your sense of self If you've ever felt stuck in old family roles, overwhelmed by guilt, or confused about how to move forward with—or without—your family, this episode will meet you with both empathy and actionable insight.

Why do we repeat toxic patterns in dating and relationships? Why do we choose unavailable or abusive partners? The short answer is we seek what's familiar to us. We're drawn to people who remind us of our most unhealthy relationship with one or both of our caretakers growing up. It's an unconscious attempt to heal our childhood wounds. Our rational mind doesn't choose our toxic partners. That's why it's important to get support to rewire our brains for healthy relationships. In this episode, I share five of the most common toxic patterns and how to begin to heal so you can go on your last first date!►Please subscribe/rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts http://bit.ly/lastfirstdateradio ►If you're feeling stuck in dating and relationships and would like to find your last first date, sign up for a complimentary 45-minute breakthrough session with Sandy https://lastfirstdate.com/application ►Join Your Last First Date on Facebook https://facebook.com/groups/yourlastfirstdate ►Get Sandy's books, Becoming a Woman of Value; How to Thrive in Life and Love https://bit.ly/womanofvaluebook , Choice Points in Dating https://amzn.to/3jTFQe9 and Love at Last https://amzn.to/4erpj7C ►Get FREE coaching on the podcast! https://bit.ly/LFDradiocoaching ►FREE download: “Top 10 Reasons Why Men Suddenly Pull Away” http://bit.ly/whymendisappear ►Group Coaching: https://lastfirstdate.com/the-woman-of-value-club/ ►Website → https://lastfirstdate.com/ ► Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/lastfirstdate1/ ►Get Amazon Music Unlimited FREE for 30 days at https://getamazonmusic.com/lastfirstdate

Discover how your energetic state directly influences who you attract in relationships. In this episode, I explore the shift from scarcity-based pursuit to abundance-based magnetism, and how this transformation changes everything. I share three key indicators of a healthy relationship dynamic: consistency under pressure, transparency about personal growth, and alignment between words and actions. These green flags help you identify potential partners who can support your evolution before you invest your heart. We examine why we often get distracted by surface-level attraction and miss important character indicators. Learn practical questions to assess whether someone is truly nourishing your energy or subtly draining it. I also discuss why strong boundaries actually attract strong partners rather than pushing them away, and why modern hookup culture often disrupts genuine connection. The episode includes three essential red flags to watch for:• Inconsistency between words and actions• How someone treats others, especially those in service roles• Controlling behavior disguised as care We conclude with a guided meditation on "Releasing Attachment to Toxic Patterns and Setting Intentions for Healthy Partnership" to help you energetically clear past relationship patterns while creating clear intentions for the aligned partnership you desire. #RelationshipEnergy #EnergeticAttraction #ConsciousRelationships #MetaphysicalPrinciples #RelationshipPatterns #MeditationForRelationships #ReleasingToxicPatterns #HealthyPartnership #PersonalGrowth #SelfDiscovery #RelationshipWisdom #EnergeticAlignment #LeadershipDevelopment #MotivationalSpeaker #BoundaryWisdom #IntentionSetting #RelationshipTransformation #AuthenticConnection #GuidedMeditation #PurposefulRelationships

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Janina Scarlet, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, author, and TEDx speaker, joins us to explore the importance of being seen, healing from trauma, and breaking free from toxic relational patterns. Dr. Scarlet, who immigrated to the United States at 12, later developed Superhero Therapy, inspired by the X-Men, to help patients with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. We dive into narcissistic abuse, trauma bonds, and the deep impact of emotional neglect, while also exploring how fictional characters can help us process and heal our own experiences.

Episode Summary: This is the final episode in our family series, and we're diving into the detoxing of family energy—a step that's often overlooked but is absolutely crucial for personal growth and sovereignty. When family members transition or begin shedding their unresolved energy, that energy doesn't just disappear—it moves to the people closest to them. If they haven't done the work, someone else has to process it. In this episode, I share my personal experience of witnessing this in real-time as my husband and I navigated his mother's transition in hospice. From unexpected emotional outbursts to physical detoxing, we unknowingly took on and transmuted the energy she never faced. And that's the core lesson: If we don't process and detox these patterns, we remain energetically entangled with family cycles that no longer serve us. You'll learn: What detoxing family energy actually means (and why it matters). How energy sheds from individuals during major life transitions. How unresolved family trauma gets passed down and manifests in our emotions, bodies, and relationships. The power of breaking enabling patterns and seeing people for who they are energetically (not just their personality). Why learning to properly receive energy is just as important as releasing it. If you've ever felt weighed down by family dynamics, unexplained emotions, or toxic patterns that won't seem to go away—this episode will bring clarity and empowerment. If this episode resonated with you, send it to someone who needs to hear it. Detoxing family energy is not just about breaking free—it's about building immunity so you can live your truth without carrying the weight of the past.
