"MARY BETH HUGHES - CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH" - 3/03/2025 For those of you who don't know the charms of MARY BETH HUGHES, when she was under contract at MGM, she was dubbed "the poor man's LANA TURNER." It was a rather unfair assessment since MGM gave Lana all the plum roles, and Mary Beth got her hand-me-downs. But still, Mary Beth had great comic chops, and no one played bitchy, hard-boiled blondes as well as she. Despite her beauty and talent, she never managed to get out of B-pictures. She did have small parts in great films like The Women (1939) and The Ox-Bow Incident (1942). She played the good girl as often as she played the bad girl, but when she played bad....you were in for a treat. Her pouty lips, snappy dialogue, and petulant attitude lit up many a lackluster production. This week, we celebrate her as our Star of the Month.

Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between dating anxiety and your needs not being met.   If you know your insecurity can lead your thoughts down irrational pathways, how can you figure out if something you're stressing about is a real concern? For instance, if you had the most amazing date last weekend but they haven't texted you for a few days, should you be worried? And most importantly of all, how do you get more investment from someone if you're feeling this way? Instead of feeling insecure and waiting for someone to come to you and meet your unspoken needs, listen to this week's episode and break free from the self-doubt and anxiety cycle. --- ►► Unlock the 67 Counterintuitive Text Messages That Create Real Momentum in Your Love Life. . . → http://www.MomentumTexts.com

I have a deep interest in the political and the personal. I was in the political space before I started my coaching business, and I've been interested in personal development since I was little. What drove me in my previous career, in a way, still drives me now: a deep frustration with the inequality of the status quo. I began to see the connection of one's personal experience with what was going on in the broader picture of society. What is that broader picture? In this episode, I talk about how the recent U.S. midterm reflects a certain relationship dynamic, as well as discuss a recent study about why men feel lonelier than ever before and how that affects heterosexual women looking for a relationship. 2:19 - Why I had to leave working in politics behind and society's double standards for men and women 9:53 - Republican media response to the Democrat's success in the 2022 midterms and the relationship dynamic it resembles 14:32 - Why young and middle-aged men are the loneliest they've been in a generation 16:08 - What does this mean for women looking for a man? 18:48 - What I'm asking of you if you're a woman seeking a relationship with a man I hope you enjoyed this episode!

You don't have examples of successful romantic relationships in your life or the lives of others around you. So how can you keep the faith?

It's Halloween time, and for the occasion, in today's video I talk about what might be the most insidious form of ghosting.  If someone ghosts you after a couple of tepid dates (which doesn't feel good, don't get me wrong) you can usually assume they just weren't feeling the chemistry . . .   But what does it mean when someone pulls away after saying they want to be exclusive, or after texting constantly and telling you they want to see you all the time?  In this brand-new episode, I give you three reasons why someone might do this, what you should do when it happens, and the strange reason why they may choose to ghost but leave the door open.

I'm a big believer in understanding why you feel what you feel (or don't feel). There are infinite reasons why you might find it difficult to trust yourself when making relationship decisions. But in talking and working with thousands of women over the years, I've noticed a couple of big ones. In today's episode, I reveal three of the most common reasons why it's hard to trust yourself in your love life. 7:59 - Why your mind shouldn't be the only thing you use to make decisions 10:46 - Example of how your mind can go into overdrive (and how society make things worse) 13:36 - How education or “edutainment” shows up as another culprit in your lack of self-trust in dating 18:04 - Why this third reason for your lack of self-trust lights such a fire under my ass 24:37 - What's missing in a lot of mindset work and “new age” concepts like the Law of Attraction 28:00 - How all three reasons can compound on themselves and work in tandem I hope you enjoyed this episode!

If you can't trust yourself, you'll find it hard to trust others. Seems obvious, right? Self-trust is the foundation to everything else, including dating. In reality, though, it's not always as black and white as it seems. So today kicks off a three-part series all about how to trust yourself more when dating. And in this first episode, I cover three reasons why and provide examples to illustrate how not doing so can show up in and affect your love life. 4:27 - Not trusting yourself leaves you vulnerable to this 8:21 - How not trusting myself ultimately affected my love life in grad school 10:06 - Why this little phrase from well-meaning people makes me so mad 13:18 - How a lack of discernment with friends and family about your love life can sabotage you 18:08 - Why putting more trust in external resources (including me) instead of yourself can lead you astray 21:48 - One last, very important thing I have to say about trusting yourself more in your love I hope you enjoyed this episode!

Choosing dating partners based on compatible zodiac signs is a thing. You've probably tried it yourself or seen others with dating profiles specifically requesting partners of certain signs. But contrary to what's often depicted in the media, astrology isn't about controlling your fate. It's not about saying, for example, that you as a Gemini need to date an Aries. In today's show, I've invited my friend and astrology expert Veronica Perretti back to the show to talk about astrology! This time we discuss the real truth behind astrology, how the main three signs form the basis of who we are, and how best to use it to figure out romantic compatibility. 9:48 - Using astrology, for this reason, keeps some people trapped in cycles 14:14 - How checking your astrology resembles keeping tabs on the weather 21:04 - Why astrology actually can be a little predictive sometimes 26:35 - How the big three signs in astrology (sun, moon, and rising) help form your personality 37:17 - How to know if you're romantically compatible with another person 46:31 - Simplifying astrological compatibility to the most basic level 53:49 - What you need to know about the coming Mars retrograde if you're a Gemini I hope you enjoyed this episode!

Who would've thought that most of the world's problems stem from pathological masculinity? And we can trace it back historically to the patriarchal ideology and the impact on women and the planet that has been gaining attention in the last few decades.Do you believe that as a society, we are partially responsible for why men are disconnected from the heart and have lost awareness of their power? Are we guilty of passing on the belief there is a tiny box in which they should live? Men withdraw from their real emotions such as anger, shame about their sexuality, or freedom to grieve for fear of being judged. The distractions we have created have made it harder for men to decode signals from their bodies and understand them.Nevertheless, men can rediscover their energy and step into their wholeness and bring back their sensitivity amidst all the odds. Join us in this week's episode of Breakthrough The Ordinary Podcast and learn how men can have the support they need to deepen their presence, clarify their purpose, connect with their power, and have a deeper relationship with women.Tune in to another impactful episode of Breakthrough The Ordinary podcast.Click here to listen to this episode: https://smartpa.ge/bto These are some highlights you shouldn't miss:01:43 - The breakthrough that shifted Jason's life to extraordinary04:16 - What men need to do to achieve the breakthrough they want in their lives07:35  - How divine masculine energy looks like and how it relates to the evolving sexual orientations or gender preferences inside relationships12:31 - The undermined damage caused by pathological masculinity to the world16:40 -  Finding harmony and balance of your energy from within and finding the perfect energy dynamics with your partner21:24 - The benefit of knowing what would serve love and consciousness in a relationship in the present moment25:14 - The benefits of deep masculine embodiment work for men's careers, wealth, and relationships29:36 - The keys to embodying masculinity and femininity and how to learn it faster than reading a whole book34:40  Why now is the best time to find healing for your unique self so you can show up with more love and consciousness Episode Challenge: 29:58Being inside men groups presents an opportunity to be around other men, interact and learn with them, and get that instant transmission of how awakened men embody their healthy masculine energies.Here's what Jason suggests you can do:Find ways to get into spaces with people who have done a lot of deep work in energy healing.

Marni speaks with the author of Anxiously Attached: Becoming More Secure in Life and Love, Jessica Baum. Jessica is the founder of the Relationship Institute of Palm Beach, a practice that provides couples therapy, family counseling, and addiction therapy. She has worked with thousands of clients for over a decade. She helps clients make a meaningful connection with themselves so they can better understand how they relate to people in relationships.   Key takeaways from this episode:   Understanding an Anxious Attachment style What it means to do “the work” Being compassionate toward other people Why your body is holding on to past trauma Cultivating a great, deep love   How the Anxious Attachment Style Relates to Your Love Life [2:17]   Attachment styles are embedded patterns that get developed early in life. They get embedded in our nervous system. We repeat hurts from childhood in our adult relationships because it is the way we learned to adapt, connect, and survive. For anxious people, it comes with a lot of self-sacrifices.   Twenty-five percent of the population has an anxious attachment style. Secure people can feel anxiety in their relationships but people with an anxious attachment system tend to be hyperfocused on the external. They normally have a deep-seated abandonment wound. The way they survive is to make plans and keep things close. They may seem controlling but they are just trying to create calmness in their world.   People with an anxious attachment style are externally focused because they have trouble getting their own needs met.   Is It Intuition or a Past Trauma? [10:35]   When we are young and our hippocampus is not fully formed, we have implicit memory. When we are little we store sensations in our body. When sensations feel big, we know it is an old feeling that is resurfacing. Jessica reminds us that big sensations can be painful and cause us to lash out.   Awareness, compassion, and the right support can help us change behavior.   What are you doing to distract yourself from having real relationships?   Anxiously Attached: The Book [19:22]   A lot of couples go to Jessica when they are activated without understanding on a conscious level why they are acting the way they are. In her book, Anxiously Attached: Becoming More Secure in Life and Love, Jessica breaks down what is happening to the nervous system of both people in the relationship and describes what they can do to gain a better understanding of what is happening, and what the other person is feeling.   Jessica says that when we form adult relationships we internalize them and they become part of how we build our secure sense of self. It is through these experiences we learn how to self-regulate.   You can't fake safety but you can cultivate it.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Plug Into Your Superpower Retreat — Apply at DatingwithDignity.com/pluginform Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Are you a bit of a control freak? By that, I mean do you try to control everything in your love life (and beyond)? I'm incredibly passionate about letting go of the need to control everything. I consider it a vital part of healing and being on this love journey. In this episode, I define what it means to truly surrender, the benefits you derive from it, why people try to control things, what controlling behavior can look like in your love life, and how to overcome it. Along the way, you'll hear about what I've noticed in my own life as well as those of my clients. 5:00 - What it really means to let go of control 9:15 - Why the path of letting go is more important than the outcome 11:42 - Examples of how you might try to inadvertently control things in the dating space 18:17 - Something to reassure you if you see yourself as overly controlling in your life 20:51 - Examples illustrating where the need to control things comes from 24:15 - How to figure out where your need to control comes from 25:29 - Ways you can overcome control issues and learn to let go 32:23 - A caveat for the common reaction of “it's happening for a reason” and other mantras 38:45 - Why letting go of control is really about getting out of your own way I hope you enjoyed this episode!

And today features an interview of someone who's created her own oracle card deck of which I'm a big fan.

I've talked a lot about body image on this podcast. But I've never had an expert in the subject on the show... until now. And with the holiday cheer accompanied by the challenge of cookies, cakes, and other food and wine everywhere, I think now's the perfect time for this conversation. My guest Jenna Free has a ton of knowledge about eating disorders and body dysmorphia and acceptance. So I had to have her on to give her perspective and teach us a few things to help you navigate the holiday season. But our conversation took an interesting turn I didn't anticipate.

I'm about to say something controversial, even seemingly contradictory. I love manifesting, but the law of attraction is crap. And I love talking crap about it because it grinds my gears how much harm it does.  For too long, it's been used as a force of manipulation across the personal development, wellness, and MLM industries and can actually lead to more frustration in your love life. So in this episode, I want to focus on why the law of attraction is so toxic and how you can manifest without it. 8:07 - Why the popular comparison of the law of attraction to the law of gravity doesn't work and is really harmful 10:54 - The huge flaw in equating the law of attraction with quantum physics 14:01 - One area where the law of attraction is useful (but even this comes with a caveat) 17:12 - Another big issue with the law of attraction and my theory about why it was popularized 20:33 - The simple, two-step process for manifesting what you want I hope you enjoyed this episode!

If we're searching for authenticity, maybe we want a therapist who is also on that search. For therapist Brooke Sprowl, that's where the best therapist-client relationships start. Forget what you think you know about the therapist sitting in “silent judgment” scribbling in a notebook, and learn to embrace what can be a more genuine journey of relationship and healing in an atmosphere of non-judgment. Brooke Sprowl of My LA Therapy discusses her personal spirituality, surrender, and authenticity, and her forthcoming book, “Why You Should Date Emotionally Unavailable Men: Use Your "Unhealthy" Relationship to Transform Yourself and Your Love Life.” When we need help, there are lots of opinions available. But maybe it's the authentic relationships that help us to help ourselves that matter more. “People are in therapy because they're in a state where they've been humbled enough to say, ‘What I am doing is not working. I need another way.'” “Become an astute observer of your own anxiety.” "One of the signs that we're anxious is when we feel a sense of urgency and speed around something.” “The impulse of anxiety is to speed up, but the invitation of anxiety is to slow down.” For more information, find us on Facebook and Twitter (@nobodysview), on Instagram (@japlosker), or join the conversation at our Facebook group, Simple Spirituality (http://bit.ly/SimpleSpiritualityGroup).
