Your body is trying to tell you something.”Lesson 2: Your Habits Are Messages, Not MistakesBad habits aren’t failures — they’re forms of self-protection. They were created to soothe pain or avoid fear.Once you understand why you do them, you can meet that need in a healthier way.This is how growth happens without shame — by replacing avoidance with awareness.“You don’t need to wait for rock bottom to change. You can choose self-respect instead of desperation.”Lesson 3: You Don’t Have To Heal AloneSelf-improvement isn’t a solo sport.Having a coach, mentor, or accountability group helps you stay grounded and supported when things get uncomfortable.Accepting help doesn’t make you weak — it keeps you consistent.“Accepting help isn’t weakness. It’s a gift.”Lesson 4: Small Shifts Create Big ChangeTransformation doesn’t come from overhauling your entire life overnight.It comes from small, consistent actions — one better choice, one boundary, one honest conversation at a time.Even within a week, your energy starts to shift when you treat yourself better.“Those changes you thought would be boring become the moments you look forward to.”Lesson 5: Be Patient — Growth Takes TimeIn a world trained for instant gratification, real self-work can feel slow.But lasting peace, fulfillment, and self-trust take the same time they always have — steady, intentional effort.If two months of deep work can give you decades of freedom, that’s not sacrifice — it’s liberation.“If it takes two months to feel like your authentic self for the next twenty years, what’s not worth it about that?”Enjoyed This Episode?

    • Why We Can't Take Care Of Ourselves

      Why We Can't Take Care Of Ourselves
      Oct 14 2025
      Learn More About Your Host: Nick Neve*New Episodes Release Weekly*Welcome to Relationships With a Soul* — I’m Nick, and this podcast is about learning to connect, not just with others, but with the deepest parts of yourself.In the world we live in, most connections stay on the surface, we go deeper — into what it truly means to feel seen, supported, and safe.Each week, we’ll talk about healing old patterns, setting boundaries, and building the kind of relationships that start with self-trust and ripple outward into every part of your life.Real fulfillment isn’t about having more — it’s about becoming more of who you really are, surrounded by connections that feel true.I’ve spent over two decades studying human behavior, spirituality, and connection — experimenting, failing, healing, and documenting what truly works. These episodes are here to help you grow through that same process with compassion, curiosity, and courage.If you’re ready to stop chasing love and start becoming it, you’re in the right place. Let’s get into today’s episode.*short disclaimer there is some language in this episode. If kids are around, please be mindful.EP: 37 Why We Can’t Take Care Of OurselvesBy now most of us have heard of the expression “Take Care Of Yourself”. We all understand the English of what this means. It even sounds great to the ears. But why doesn’t it stick? Why do we hear these words and then revert right back to old patterns of burnout, people pleasing, self-sabotage, and other forms of destruction.As someone whose been at rock bottom, barely able to get out of bed, and also someone who has abused his mind and body for most of his life, I’m proud to say that I no longer treat myself that way.How did I get over that hump finally?I came to fully grasp the reason why we just don’t take care of ourselves and in this episode I’m going to break it down for you. I’ll also outline the enormous benefits that happen once you finally DO take care of yourself. I guarantee that you can’t see them right now otherwise, you would immediately take the plunge and wouldn’t look back.So what’s stopping you from self-care?You are gridlocked in the “fight, flight, or freeze” response. Maybe you’ve heard this before but do you really know why it has so much power over you?It’s because you live in a world that hopes and preys on trapping you there and keeping you there.When you’re stuck in this state, you feel like you’re not enough, you’re not worthy, you need to do more, be more— to finally feel ok with yourself.This is the main message that society spreads to everyoneYou can’t stop until you’ve done “this”. You can’t finally relax until you’ve become “that”. And then what happens when you finally achieve that level?The bar gets silently raised and you’re trapped all over again.Like an animal that’s being threatened, your senses are always up. You’re dangerously overstimulated, which makes it impossible to sit down, process things at a logical level, and asks the REAL questions that will reward you with what you truly want.You’re so far into fight or flight, that thinking about changing anything at all brings about massive fear, and since you’re already at maximum, how could you possibly handle another thing on top of that heavy load you already carry. This is the way the mind works.Not to mention, the change being asked of you is a change you’re unfamiliar with, a change that is often less stimulating than what you’re currently used to. So that makes it seem boring, useless, like a real waste of time. It’s part of the reason why it’s so hard for you to allow this to happen in your life.I used to live in this state.Before my feet would even hit the floor in the morning I’d reach over to my nightstand and pick up my phone. Scanning my emails, the stock market, text messages, and social media. Secretly praying for something to set me off. Positive or negative, it didn’t matter. I just wanted to feel “alive”. but in doing that every morning I didn’t realize that it was disrupting my peace, my equilibrium, my nervous system. My ability to concentrate, or have any chance at discipline whatsoever.But the worst part?I was giving control of my mood and feelings to whatever I saw on the screen. If it was positive, I would have a great day, if it was negative, I was doomed before the clock even hit 9am.More often than not, the news was negative or unfulfilling and before my day even started, my energy plummeted, I felt like a failure, all because I gave control of my life to outside forces that were never in my control to begin with.Sure it was exciting in the moment to get that hit of dopamine.But the cost of that was MASSIVE. The cost was basically gambling my entire day. And it was almost always dissatisfying. The house always wins.The danger of living this way is that you remain in a constant state of fight, flight or freeze and ...

    • You Should WANT Discomfort In Your Life: Here's Why

      You Should WANT Discomfort In Your Life: Here's Why
      Oct 7 2025
      Welcome to The Relationships With A Soul PodcastEvery Tuesday, I do a deep dive on a common relationship problem that more than likely, we’ve all experienced at one point or another. And some of us, are actively in these situations right now, which makes these episodes great support systems for you as you push through this problem and arrive on the other side. From observing human behavior over the last 15 years, I’ve seen a lot of the same relationship problems come up again and again. Those will be the ma in ones that we focus on here. It is my goal that these episodes help you understand yourself better, as well as your relationships. Armed with this new info, you’ll be able to create stronger relationship dynamics with ALL your connections. Trust me, strong connections are worth more than anything money can buy. Once you understand the magic of just one of these connections, you’ll become obsessed. Now let’s get into today’s episode!EP 35: Why Discomfort is your GREATEST AllyIf there's anything that I've learned from discomfort over the past 25 years, it's this: avoiding discomfort creates way more discomfort in the long run.In this episode, I’m going to be breaking this down for you using my personal experience to support this argument. My hope is by the end of this episode you’re inspired to invite more uncomfortable situations into your life. If this sounds crazy, and / or intriguing, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive in.Have you ever stood over the edge of a diving board, afraid to jump? You linger there, trying to find a way to make it easier and to stop the fear from growing. But what's happening in every second that you stand there is that you're feeling more uncomfortable, and the feeling doesn’t go away.Instead, if you trust the experience and just “jump off the diving board”, the feeling of fear instantly starts to turn into relief. When you land, you feel an immense sense of relief—and maybe even excitement and joy. But the feeling of fear is gone.The proof in this example is that the longer we avoid an uncomfortable situation before taking action, the more discomfort it creates for us in the long run. Instead, if we just confront the discomfort and experience it, we stop that cycle immediately and start a new cycle of improvement and change. It also builds memories of trust that we can tap into to help ourselves take on future uncomfortable situations. The more uncomfortable situations we’ve gone through, the more memories we have that serve as proof that we can do it again. This is how we build resilience.Discomfort Also Shows Up A Lot In RelationshipsAn example is wanting to ask someone out that you like. Have you ever found yourself procrastinating on asking someone out on a date? How long did you wait before taking the plunge?The discomfort you feel in waiting could last a day, three days, a month, a year—but it never goes away, does it?If you think about it, Wouldn’t it seem like it could have been less painful to take action sooner?Perhaps that discomfort even stopped you from asking them out altogether, and you never found out if they would have said yes. In this case, discomfort was still felt but because action wasn’t taken, the answer was forced to be “no”.This last scenario is powerful because we stay stuck in a state of inaction in order to protect ourselves from discomfort, but in doing so we still experience the discomfort—and in the above scenario, choosing not to ask someone out on a date always ends up with the date not happening.Usually when people reflect on this, a lightbulb moment happens and in the future, they always want to take a chance, because in this case, not taking action, always results in a “no”. Wouldn’t you want at least a small chance for there to be a “yes”?Also, there’s something interesting that happens when you finally do take the plunge and ask them out. Whether they say yes or no, eventually, the feeling of discomfort leaves. If they say yes, the feeling leaves immediately. If they say no, you may still feel uncomfortable, but over time, you will accept that the situation didn't work out and allow a door to open for something new. Most people prefer taking a chance and getting an answer, because it’s a form of closure for the situation.Whereas if you stay in the same cycle—wanting to ask them out and ruminating in your mind over the perfect way to do it—you’ll just cause yourself more pain in the long run without moving forward at all. This is the trap that so many people fall into.It's a form of stalling, and it causes a great deal of pain. I know this because I've been in this situation many times with many different girls that I wanted to ask out, and also with many scary life changes I wanted to make in my life—such as leaving my job, starting a new one, or chasing a dream. If I could go back, I would have just thrown myself in the fire, I would have saved so much pain, even ...
