Are you enabling the bad behavior of other people?
October 21, 2018

Do you enable behavior that you don’t like? Is it possible that the people that cause you stress do so because you are allowing it in some way?

This episode covers a very important topic that may help you get your power back if you adopt and apply the message.

For more on enabling bad behavior, be sure to tune into the Love and Abuse podcast.

Finding your true path so you don’t end up living a false life
October 7, 2018

Trying to find happiness is hard enough, but trying to do it when other people are in your life (or are interfering with your life) is even harder.

The first email I read on this episode is from someone who has a problem with his girlfriend smoking pot. He wants the relationship, but not the pot.

The second email dives into how deeply religious parents might want to continue controlling you even after you leave the nest. This episode is all about finding your true path and making the decision to follow it.

When you end up in a miserable relationship, who’s to blame? Do you feel powerless as the relationship gets worse and worse?

It’s vital to see the signs at the beginning, but it’s even more important what you do later on when you are heavily invested.

To know how to make better relationship choices and avoid costly ones, be sure to tune into the Love and Abuse podcast.

Investigating gut feelings in relationships
September 9, 2018

When you get that suspicious feeling that a friend, family member, or partner is doing something deceptive, do you investigate further? Or do you take their word when they say nothing is going on?

When that gut instinct kicks in, it’s time to listen and perhaps even dig a little deeper just to get to the truth.

Also in this episode, I revisit values and what steps to take to show yourself love, respect and compassion so that you don’t end up in toxic relationships.
