When Being Selfish is a Good Thing

Some people may say never, but being constantly providing for others needs and not looking to ourselves can be self destructive.

Do you find yourself doing things for those that claim that you are more suitable for the task than they are?

Why Some People Won't Apologise

10 Things That Suggest Your Relationship Isn't As Good As You Make Out
We often tell ourselves and others that our relationship with our partner is far stronger than it really is, but as John discusses in this first show of the year, it might be time for a reality check. KEY TAKEAWAYS As we move through a relationship, we tend to accumulate more and more in the way of emotional anchors, such as children or financial arrangements. These can act as a block when it comes to motivating ourselves to leave an unhappy relationship. Often, when we are unhappy, we lose ourselves in other tasks such as work...

From Codependent To Independent
This week John is in conversation with a special guest - one who has lived through a codependent relationship, and who has emerged as independent from the other side. It's a rare, highly personal conversation from someone with a unique perspective on this particular compulsion, and which may help to empower those who may not yet realise that their own relationship may be an unhealthy one. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we become codependent, we lose part of ourselves - our identities. We hand control to a person, and thereby give part of ourselves away. Previous generations have a...

This week, John looks at codependency - a circular relationship in which one person needs the other person, who in turn, needs to be needed - how it manifests within relationships, and how we can identify this compulsion. KEY TAKEAWAYS Codependency is typically discussed in the same terms as substance abuse. It is the reliance of one person upon the other in order to keep this addiction going. Codependent people tend to form and become dependant upon unhealthy, emotionally harmful relationships. This state may feel like an addiction, but it is in fact a compulsion. It...

Modern Relationship Terminology
This week, John discusses modern relationship terminology, and how certain ways of describing or phrasing things can help us to better understand the places from which we have come in life. KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the most important red flags you can have in a relationship is the fact that you really know nothing deep about your partner, and they they are reticent to share their innermost hopes and dreams. This can indicate that they are not in this for the long haul. Stashing is the process by where someone almost hides you away - storing...

This is how we have managed to evolve since the dawn of time, and what drives us as children to learn about the world around us. When curiosity is piqued, our brains release dopamine, triggering our rewards system, and encouraging us to dig deeper into the pursuit at hand. Curious people are more open to new social experiences, and are more willing to embrace...

We believe that love is the only thing that can keep a relationship alive, but as John discusses on this week's episode, there are also other things that are equally as crucial in keeping the flame burning.
