At some stage in our 20s, all of us will experience what I call 'The Loneliest Chapter' - a period where we feel detached, disconnected and isolated. Whilst this experience can feel terrible and make us question our relationships, friendships and selves, it's an important rite of passage and actually ends up teaching us a lot. In today's episode we discuss: 
What is the 'lonely' chapter of our 20s?
My personal journey with loneliness 
What are some signs you may be in it, right now? 
Why does this occur? What creates this period? 
How can we learn to tolerate and enjoy solitude? 
What are the benefits of loneliness? 
How can we make new friends and feel like we belong? 

All of that, and more...

In our 20s it can feel like a mad rush to find the one. If you are single and dating, you know the experience of going on what seems like dozens of dates only to be disappointed and, at the end of the day, exhausted and yet you still haven't found someone. In this episode, we discuss why that is including: 
The signs your experiencing dating burnout
What dating burnout and traditional burnout have in common
The role of swipe based dating apps 
Why this occurs and the emotional impact 
The psychology of a 'dating detox' 
How to have FUN when dating and how to overcome dating burnout 

Listen now if nothing seems to be working when it comes too feeling frustrated and exhausted when it comes to dating in your 20s.

240. Overcoming dating burnout

What is the cost of caring too much for others? Always being the person to fix everyone's problems? Never needing anyone, but secretly loving that everyone else relies on you? Well, it turns out it can cost you and your relationships a lot, and may also be a sign of high functioning codependency. High functioning codependency is much more common amongst people who are overachieving, overgiving and who have few boundaries (even if they don't know it). 

In today's episode, we are joined by the originator of this term. Terri Cole is a psychotherapist and boundary expert who has been investigating this phenomena for years in her high functioning and highly successful clients. She shares the traits, behaviours, costs and ways to improve your high functioning codependency. This was one of my favourite episodes to date, happy listening!

How shame gets implanted in us
The links between shame and trauma 
Shame vs. guilt
How shame manifests in hidden ways 
What a life without shame could look like?
How to release shame by communicating with your inner child 
How to shut down shame spirals 
My own personal story of body shaming
