Podcasts about toxic relationships

Breaking up is never easy—but when the relationship involves Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), the emotional aftermath can feel overwhelming, confusing, and even traumatic. In this episode, we dive into the psychology behind why relationships with someone who has borderline personality traits can feel like an emotional roller coaster—from intense love and idealization to conflict, instability, and painful separation. We explore the patterns that often show up in these relationships, including fear of abandonment, emotional highs and lows, and the cycle that can lead couples to repeatedly break up and reconcile. Drawing insights from the Psychological Healing Center's work on emotional healing and relationship dynamics, we discuss how to recover after a breakup with a borderline partner, rebuild your sense of self, and move forward with healthier boundaries. Healing involves understanding the relationship patterns, processing grief, and developing emotional resilience so you don't repeat the same cycle again. Whether you were the partner of someone with BPD or you're simply trying to understand the emotional complexity of these relationships, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and practical steps toward recovery. If you've ever felt trapped in the push-and-pull dynamics of a borderline relationship, this episode will help you make sense of the chaos—and start reclaiming your emotional peace.

In this episode of Hungry for Love, we're talking about something so many people believe they're missing: confidence. Most of us were taught that confidence is something you need before you take action. That one day you'll finally feel ready, brave, certain, and then you'll go after what you want. But the truth? Confidence doesn't come first. Confidence is created through action. If you keep waiting to feel ready, you may end up waiting forever. In this episode, I'm breaking down the lie we've been sold about confidence and sharing what actually builds it—especially if you've experienced emotional abuse, toxic relationships, or years of self-doubt. We'll talk about: Why waiting to feel ready slowly erodes your confidence How fear and avoidance keep you stuck in cycles of hesitation Why your brain resists new things (and how to work with it instead of against it) How toxic voices from the past can become the loudest voice in your head Why confidence grows through repetition and self-trust, not perfection I'll also share a personal story about becoming a yoga teacher and how saying yes before I felt ready completely changed my relationship with confidence. Because real confidence isn't about avoiding failure. It's about knowing you'll have your own back no matter what happens. If you've been waiting to feel ready to start the thing, say the truth, or pursue the life you want—this episode will help you understand why action is the very thing that builds the confidence you're looking for.

In Part 1 of this conversation, Bella and Lee sit down with Stephen Paul Edwards, author of Venus Flytrap: Madness and Mayhem, to explore the deeply personal experiences that shaped his life and relationships.Stephen opens up about childhood trauma, mental health struggles, shame, self-worth, and the toxic relationship patterns that can keep people stuck far longer than they know they should stay. He shares how unresolved pain followed him into adulthood, how emotional chaos can become familiar, and why even self-aware people can still lose themselves in unhealthy dynamics.This is an honest, raw, and at times surprisingly funny conversation about the parts of ourselves we often try to hide.In this episode, we talk about:How childhood wounds can shape adult relationshipsWhy toxic relationships can feel so hard to leaveThe connection between shame, self-worth, and attachmentWhat it means to lose yourself in someone elseWhy red flags often make sense only in hindsightThe difference between being a victim and being a volunteer in your own patternsIf you have ever questioned why people stay, why they go back, or why love can sometimes feel more like chaos than connection, this episode will resonate deeply.Because awareness does not always come before the lesson.Sometimes it comes through it.

Toxic relationships can feel intoxicating. The highs are euphoric, the lows are devastating—and somewhere in between, you find yourself hooked. In this episode of Billion Dollar Babie, we break down why toxic love can feel so addictive and why it's so hard to walk away even when you know it's hurting you. New episodes every Wednesday!

You Are Not Alone in This Journey If you've ever been in a toxic relationship, you know the feeling. Losing pieces of yourself. Questioning your worth. Wondering if you'll ever feel like you again.

That experience became the reason I created Healthy Relationships Coaching: a safe, empowering space where women can rebuild their confidence, rediscover self-love, and believe in healthy love again.

Today, my mission is to help women heal, grow, and thrive, just as I did. My Journey to Helping Women Transform Their Lives Through my own healing journey, I developed a deep understanding of relationships, emotional patterns, and personal transformation. My work combines: Personal experience and deep self-growth Professional coaching training Evidence-based transformation tools I became certified in coaching through the world-renowned coaching program led by Tony Robbins and Cloe Madanes, one of the most respected programs in the world. To deepen my ability to create powerful change, I am also becoming a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Hypnotherapy Practitioner, allowing me to help women transform their mindset, beliefs, and emotional patterns on a deeper level. Because real healing happens from the inside out. Your Transformation Starts Here My coaching sessions are designed to guide you through a powerful journey of: ✨ Rebuilding your self-worth ✨ Letting go of toxic relationship patterns ✨ Developing confidence and emotional strength ✨ Creating healthier relationships ✨ Falling in love with your life again Together, we'll help you rewrite your story — one where you feel empowered, valued, and deeply connected to the life you deserve.
