Healing Honeys (formerly OPENHOUSE with Louise Rumball)

#173 - I know it’s been a hot minute, but honey, I’m BACK! Welcome back to Series 3 of the podcast! New name, new artwork, new segments and more! In today’s episode, I re-introduce myself to anyone who is new around here and I tell you what to expect from the season ahead.

I also share the 10 things that have been the most transformative learnings from $10,000 of therapy and the things that have *really* helped me unf*ck my life. Join me as we dive into sobriety, daddy issues, chronic pain, emotionally unavailable men, infidelity, toxic relationships, closing down successful businesses, the never slowing down rollercoaster of a life and emotional suppression – nothing is off-limits in this episode. Get ready for an hour packed with real AF honest stories, life-changing lessons, and so much heart.

Everyone was talking about Sabrina and Steven, and today, I sit down with Steven, one of my closest friends and the star of Love Is Blind UK. We dive into what it’s really like to have your love life—and heartbreak—put on blast for the world to dissect. Steven opens up about the brutal realities of reality TV, the emotional toll of internet trolls, and the raw truth that men, too, can be left feeling shattered after breakups. He discusses his shock at the reunion, the pain of re-watching himself fall in love on TV, and why he stayed silent while others created their own versions of the story. He shares how he uses daily tools to stay calm, grounded, and mostly anxiety-free—and how he’s evolving, just like everyone else.

Relationship expert Louise teams up with Psychotherapist and Attachment Expert Stephanie Therapy for an in-depth dive into Tell Me Lies from a psychological perspective. They cover covert narcissism, Stephen DeMarco, the different types of narcissists, how they operate, manipulation, hidden agendas, fear, how they draw in empathetic people, the Lucy and Diana saga, what’s going on with each of them individually, why people stay silent, the concept of "supply," and the red flags to spot when dating or avoiding covert narcissists in relationships. This episode is juicy, it is deep and it is important to make sure you avoid Stephen DeMarco in your day to day life. Enjoy!

Honey, I’m home!

In this episode, I'm catching you up on all my life updates – where I’ve been, why the podcast has been so MIA, and what’s been happening behind the scenes (+ when you can expect us back on a regular schedule!). From 5 weeks living out of a suitcase, major life location decisions, contraction, expansion, questioning if this is my ‘flop era,’ and podcast changes too, I’ve got so much to share. Plus, I dive into my first-ever confidence crisis that caught me off guard and led to the overwhelming pressure I felt to get filler and Botox. This eventually sparked the birth of my newest FREE challenge to help us all navigate through these confidence crises. So, grab your headphones, get outside on your hot girl walk, and get comfy for this chat – I’ve missed you!

It’s been a hot minute…. Because I disappeared. And things have been dark AF. Today, I’m opening up about why I disappeared, took an unexpected hiatus from the pod for the first time in 2.5 years and I share about the intense, emotional journey I’ve been on. We’ll rewind to when I was in the best shape of my life—mentally, physically, and spiritually—and how everything took a sudden turn, leading me into adrenal fatigue, burnout, loneliness, and a deep freeze state of depression in my nervous system. 

I also chat my best friend being on Love Is Blind, my travel plans and more.

Well, this story is kinda crazy. And what's even crazier? Sometimes we keep bad behavior hidden, secret, and behind closed doors, and it's only when we start to talk about it that we can finally admit that IT WAS NOT OKAY. 

This week, Louise shares a wild story about her ex and *THAT* thing he did in Marbella. She explores why we accept bad behavior, why we justify it as love, and how, once we start healing, we start to see it for what it truly is—unacceptable. Louise chats through the crazy story and its connection to:

And so much more!

Join us in this deeply personal and vulnerable episode as Louise recounts heart-wrenching incidents from probably the most toxic relationship of her life, how it opened the doors to her healing journey, and what light at the end of the tunnel of a “passionate” (read: abusive) relationship looks like in the form of five hard-hitting lessons she learned in therapy.

🆘 Trigger Warning: This episode contains references to relationship abuse. 🆘

⭐The entire catalog of BONUS PODCAST EPISODES will be added to the Daily Devotion Portal later this week⭐
