      • Bedtalks Episode 81: Love Shouldn't Hurt - An Interview with Bill Mitchell

        Love should never hurt. But sadly, in some relationships, it does. "One in three US women have experienced physical violence or rape by a partner - devastating numbers that no one should ever suffer through. Unfortunately, domestic abuse happens all too often to women and men. We wanted to have a show in which we talked about this topic candidly, frankly, and openly. On this show, K & I speak with Bill Mitchell, who shares his personal experience of losing his daughter to domestic abuse. 

        The journey has been gut-wrenching for him, but he hopes to change how we view, support, and educate on domestic abuse. Bill also hosts his own podcast show, "When Dating Hurts." And he also wrote a book titled, "When Dating Hurts."  Bill candidly shares what he learned about domestic abuse, what this journey has been like for him, and how he wants to help empower others. Let's break the cycle & create safe, loving relationships. 

        If you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship and you're struggling to figure out what to do next, this show will help you with the following:

        • The signs to know if someone may be in an abusive relationship
        • How to support someone who is in an abusive relationship
        • How to exit an abusive relationship
        • What resources of support are out there for those who have been abused or who are in abusive relationships
        • Listen in and let us know what you think. Please remember to subscribe to future episodes of the Bedtalks podcast via the Anchor App, iTunes, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and many other platforms.

        • Bedtalks Episode 80: We're Talking Dreams and Nightmares by Meek Mill and the Best Way to Show Up for Your Significant Other - An Interview with Karina F Daves
          Hey Y'All-
          We are back with another podcast interview with Ms. Karina F. Daves. She references herself as 'little but lionhearted." Karina focuses her work as a Coach helping women make decisions about their relationships so they can show up for themselves. Her style is straightforward, candid, and heartfelt. Karina speaks from the heart, mind, and experiences that have shaped her journey too of learning how to show up for her husband in a way that doesn't compromise who she is in the relationship.
          In this podcast, Karina talks about:
          Her childhood and how it shaped her understanding of relationships and how she had to recondition her perspective on healthy relationships
          Why she didn't realize the love of her life at first and how being in a toxic relationship almost kept her from a healthy one
          How her husband taught her about the power of dreams and manifesting them
          How co-parenting requires a heart posture and how being a child of divorced parents taught her what she would do differently as a step-parent
          And we promise to touch on "Dreams and Nightmares by Meek Mill" and the significance of it in Karina's life
          Listen in; you won't be disappointed!

        • Bedtalks Episode 79: Is Love All That You Need: Learn More About the Spread Love Movement - An Interview with Justin Court

          Hey Y'All-

          It's a New Year, and we have some exciting episodes of the Bedtalks Podcast for you. 

          Up first, we're talking about our favorite subject, Love. We are interviewing Justin Court, who started the Spread Love Movement and is a Podcaster.  As Justin shares during our interview with him, "Little acts of kindness have ripple effects." You never know the domino effect of one act of kindness or love.

          Listen in as Justin shares an experience that opened him to love in a way he never knew existed. During this interview, it is interesting to hear the male perspective on how love shifted his life in an unexpected way.

          We talk about the following:

          • How can men find safe spaces to express, release their emotions, and embrace their vulnerability?
          • Why a lack of emotional release can have unintended consequences on a man's health
          • Men and their Mental Health - What are healthy outlets for men to have this safe space?
          • What do you do when you don't have a support system?
          • Justin shares some of his favorite Spread the Love Movement moments with us. You can see more of them here.

            I'm confident that you will walk away from this podcast with a new awareness of how men can support one another, how we can overall be supportive of men, and healthy outlets for men to maintain their emotional health and well-being. 

            As always, thank you for listening to our Bedtalks podcast. We appreciate you. We look forward to bringing you more enlightening topics in 2023. And if there is something you specifically want K and I to discuss on the show, don't hesitate to send us a message to let us know.
