Special guest, Brian Hamlin, joins us to discuss the male perspective of divorce.

We dissect 5 very common sayings that can actually be very harmful and toxic in nature.

Vina & Cheryl explore the time directly after their separations/divorces and reflect on their actions and what they would have changed based on their needs. When tragedy strikes you aren't always in a headspace that allows for clear thinking...we own that a lot of our actions through our divorces weren't made with clear and concise thinking. If we can help others to avoid those moments of regret, then this is the episode to do that.

Cheryl & Vina discuss the differences between trauma bonds and bonds formed through true love. Listen in for a bonus discussion of which famous fictional couples fall heavily under the trauma bond under the guise of "true love."

Vina and Cheryl sit down and discuss the unrealistic pressures on women from social media, television, movies, and religion. And in Vina's case, how those pressures collide and contradict one another within marriage. Listen in as they dissect the contradiction of societal pressure to be sexy and perfect at all times vs. the religious pressure to hide all evidence of sexiness and just serve as a baby factory, all the while the men are being bombarded with sex and "perfection" outside of the home. In short, there's a huge problem and disconnect and we need to give a huge "fuck off" to both society and to religious standards!

Vina & Cheryl break down the draw toward toxic relationships and the roles we play in perpetuating them. If we look back on our past relationships and see a pattern of toxicity, then we are the problem because we control of the types of relationships we enter into. Breaking the cycle begins with you!

In Episode 10, Cheryl & Vina answer some hilarious questions about exes. The most healing thing in the world is laughter. Laugh at yourself and your past and the healing will follow.

Vina & Cheryl discuss how being in toxic relationships can lead to the development of unhealthy habits. Identifying and learning how to undo these habits has been a necessary strategy in their new and much healthier relationships.

Vina & Cheryl discuss their own experiences with cheating, and how social media has completely changed the game and how it's played. With so many ways to connect and hide connections from your partner without ever meeting face-to-face, it is harder than ever to navigate what constitutes cheating and what doesn't. Additionally, Micro-Cheating is now something to look out for! sigh

Cheryl & Vina discuss the 12 signs that it is time to move on from a relationship. When only a few of these signs exist in a relationship, there is still hope that they can be worked on and both of you grow and move forward. However, when all 12 exist, the hope dwindles and the reality sets in. No matter how many of these signs you recognize, they are carry a harmful tendency and need to be recognized and addressed in order to maintain a healthy relationship.
