The weight and influence that we allow social media to carry in our lives is beyond ridiculous. From perceived slights to nuanced likes or dislikes, so many people take these as real and then allow it to create issues in their lives and relationships. Not only friend/work/love relationships, but also our relationships with ourselves. It controls our thoughts and emotions and a lot of times doesn't or shouldn't be reflected as real life.

How do you scale a mountain? One Step at a time! Sounds cliche, right? Well, the reality is, that it is true. The problem that we have is allowing the task to be overwhelming and we get in our heads and then we just never do anything about it and we stay right where we don't want to be! Doing it in smaller doses gives you a feeling of accomplishment and makes hitting those goals a little easier!!

Holiday Time is difficult for a lot of folks. Navigating loneliness vs being alone, judgment from family and friends, and even social anxiety and awkward situations makes a lot us not want to go anywhere, however we get upset when we are by ourselves. We can't have it both ways! You have to get out of your own way and fight through some of what you're feeling and allowing yourself to think in order to not be lonely or alone at this time of the year!!! You can do it, seriously, thinking about it more difficult than actually doing the damn thing!!

Collective Illusion is an interesting concept! It deals with conforming to a belief you THINK someone else has, ultimately sacrificing yourself or your authenticity, as well as taking on a belief JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE HAS IT. I bet you think that is weird, but IT...IS...EVERYWHERE! We discuss this concept in this episode and how messed up we think this is and why it's bad for you or your relationship!

With the change of seasons rapidly happening, we wanted to talk about different Seasons of a relationship and how the relationship evolves over time. Some folks want to stay in Spring and others want to live in the comfort of Winter! Where are you and what are you doing to sustain each of those seasons and those adjustments and changes that come along with them?

Tina and I chat about the double standard of when someone is considered attractive or not, and what they allow them to get away with doing or saying! Some jokes are ok if the receiver thinks you're pretty enough, but if not, they are offended and want to take you to HR! GASP!

We know, we know, but you most certainly won't do that! Too many people want to have a partner but they still want to live their lives like the other person isn't in it, or that the other person needs to 'fit' into their life, without any give or take. If you REALLY want love and a partner, you don't have to change who you are, but there are adjustments that get made, especially if you want it to be successful and long lasting!!

When some say they Love, Love, we think what they are really saying is they are addicted to the process of falling in love, but then when that extra fun part wears off, they are no longer interested. They have run out of excitement and need to get their dopamine fix from somewhere else!
