Bonjour beans, and welcome to the episode today. - Episode 499.

We go into a sort of 'bingo' of things that may be said by a narcissistic family member. I gathered a lot of this information thanks to you guys, my audience and what you have written in in response to my questions around dealing with difficult family members. 

I also do a pharmacology fact (Quaaludes) and a listener question at the end where we discuss when you have a friend who is imitating your every move - what can you do? 

Hope you enjoy!

A Marriage on the Brink: Navigating Porn Addiction and Relationship Dynamics

Episode 503

In this episode, I delve into a deeply personal question from a listener who's struggling to cope with her husband's porn addiction. I talk about the devastating impact of this addiction on relationships, and the importance of prioritising your own own well-being.

This ep covers the complexities of porn addiction, its effects on intimacy and trust, and the challenges of recovery. I go into the need for accountability, therapy, and a willingness to confront the underlying issues driving the addiction. AND the importance of setting boundaries and communicating needs clearly in a relationship, and the dangers of gaslighting and manipulation.

A key takeaway from this episode is that recovery from porn addiction is a long-term process that requires effort, commitment, and support. 

If you're struggling with a partner's porn addiction or feeling trapped in a toxic relationship, this episode offers a much-needed dose of reality and hope.

In a world where social media reigns supreme, it's easy to get caught up in the endless scroll and lose sight of what truly matters. But what if you could break free from the cycle of comparison and distraction, and find a sense of calm and clarity in a world that's increasingly chaotic?

This episode is all about the psychology of the slow life, where we're talking about moving away from addictive content and towards longer, more intentional forms of media. In this episode I talk about the benefits of stepping away from social media, including improved focus and attention, lower anxiety and stress, and a greater sense of presence and connection with the world around us.

I also go into the importance of being mindful of our attention and how it's being used, and how we can start to make changes to our social media habits to prioritize what's truly important to us. And of course some practical tips and advice for anyone looking to start their own journey towards a slower, more intentional life.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the demands of social media and want to find a more balanced way of living, this episode is a must-listen. Join me over the next 30 days to explore the benefits of a slower pace of life, and discover how you can start to make changes to your own social media habits to focus on what truly matters.

Ahhhh Insecurities. I feel like they are used against us in all areas of life. 
Advertising, social media, internet trolls, trends, unhealthy relationships and even well meaning friends and family! 

this ep uncovers what insecurities actually are, the common behaviors to look out for in yourself, and how to learn to live with, embrace or change (in a healthy way) the things that you are insecure about so they no longer control you and how you move forward in life. 

Secure people are not those with zero 'flaws' or things that they don't love, they are people that despite these 'things' are able to love who they are and be comfortable with that. and when that happens, no one can use your insecurities against you. 

Brain Fact - Fen Phen and why it got discontinued.
