In today’s episode, we talk with Joli Hamilton, research psychologist and relationship coach, about one of the most common emotional responses we can have as human beings, jealousy. We peel back the layers of the human psyche to unravel the intricacies of jealousy, a complex emotion that has intrigued and confounded us throughout history, dissect its complex spectrum from subtle envy to its impact on our relationships, and explore how we can strike the delicate balance between healthy competition and toxic comparison, and learn how understanding these nuances can empower us to build more resilient connections. With Joli, we shed light on the psychology behind jealousy, unravelling the threads of self-esteem, insecurity, and societal expectations that weave this emotional tapestry. Tune in as we navigate the profound impact of jealousy on personal and professional relationships, seeking not only to understand its origins but also to discover how we can transcend its grip.

In today’s episode, we talk with author Regina LaFrance about a critical issue that demands our attention and collective action—child abuse. With Regina, we delve into the shadows where societal silence meets the stigma surrounding child abuse, explore the cultural and societal factors contributing to the hushed tones and examine the profound impact of breaking the silence.

Join us on this important journey of breaking chains, amplifying voices, and building a future free from the shadows of child abuse.

The end of the year is always a time to draw lines, make charts and reflect on what the past year has signified. In this episode, we reflect on something that is a silent epidemic, affects many people and families in the world, and yet we hardly talk about, never mind discuss how it can be addressed. Today we talk about femicide. It might feel uncomfortable to learn about the size of this problem, and we appreciate this might not be the time of the year when you want to dwell on distressing topics, but I hope that as we sit around our tables cheering in gratitude for what we received and hopes for a better future, we can also add a wish that heinous acts of killing girls and women by the hand of someone in their personal sphere will end. Let’s all make a pledge to talk, seek solutions, campaign, support and do whatever it takes so that no other life is lost. Let’s all make a pledge to educate today’s children, boys and girls, to become better future men and women that will know how to deal with their emotions in a healthy way, they’ll know what true love is, they’ll show respect for their partner and life. Let’s come together to say NO MORE!

Today, we reflect on how solitude feels, and what impact it can have on our mental well-being, especially during the holidays when everybody around us is celebrating. In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, we can get so caught up by adhering to the season tradition that little time is left to us to stop, and reflect, and even perhaps to consider what this festive period might signify for those who spend this time of the year in solitude, whether out of choice or circumstances. We also take this opportunity to ask ourselves how we can rise above the loneliness feelings and instead embrace, and perhaps even make sense of the holidays spent alone.
