  • Why do I keep attracting the same person?

    Are you finding yourself in the same type of relationships over and over again? Do you wonder why you keep attracting the same type of people? We're going to shed some light on this. We've observed recurring patterns in the therapy and life coaching sessions we hold, and we're here to share these insights with you.

We'll discuss the importance of self-awareness in identifying red flags and potential signs of trauma in relationships. We'll delve into the power of understanding and healing past experiences, and how these can be re-triggered in relationships. We'll also talk about how toxic love is often mistaken for loving deeply. You'll learn how to challenge toxic relationship norms and understand what a healthy relationship looks like for you.
    In the last part of our discussion, we'll address the delicate balance of relationships - knowing when to fight for it and when to walk away. We'll explore the signs of being held hostage in a relationship and the importance of communication in assessing the pros and cons of staying. So, join us as we journey through these exciting topics, equipping you with the knowledge to better navigate your relationships and attract the right kind of love into your life.

  • Does the relationship you want still exist?

    Are you settling for less in your relationships? Too many of us do, without even realizing it. In this powerful conversation, we challenge this norm and get you to question—does the type of relationship you yearn for even exist? We dive deep into the importance of self-reflection and understanding that the love we seek must first exist within us. It's not the love that hurt us in the past, but the act of loving someone who didn't know how to reciprocate. We talk about how isolation, when balanced, can be beneficial and the significance of 'dating yourself.'
    In the quest for love, have you ever felt like you're losing yourself? We've got you covered. We navigate through personalizing relationships, emphasizing mutual respect, and understanding your partner's needs without surrendering your own. We debunk the misconception that sacrifice equates to loss. We reiterate that a loving relationship should elevate your happiness, not compromise it, and a man who genuinely loves you will never cause you harm. 
    Are you still carrying the weight of past relationships? It's time to drop that baggage! We stress the importance of living in the present with the right person and providing space when your partner needs it. We remind you that it's always 'us versus the problem.' We also explore the concept of 'expensive dates' and the importance of setting boundaries. We encourage open, honest communication, and respecting your partner's boundaries. Join us for an enlightening conversation on love, relationships, and the journey of self-discovery that awaits you!

  • Found Peace: My Last Episode

    We're turning the page on 'Meech Speaks', a podcast that started as a humble endeavor in 2019 and eventually became a platform for growth and healing. It's been an incredible journey, sharing personal tales of struggle and triumph, but we've reached a point where we've outgrown the topics we once explored. The curtain drops on 'Meech Speaks, but not without gratitude. We thank each listener who walked this path with us, your unwavering support has been our strength.
    But closing one door often leads to the opening of another. We're leaping into a new chapter with the 'Talkin Crazy Podcast'. This is a fresh venture, encouraged by the transformative power of boxing and podcasting as outlets for releasing anger and baggage. It's about inspiring a shift in mindset - to embrace new opportunities, to venture into the unexplored, to take a leap of faith in oneself. Life's too short to be stuck in a rut, it's time to trust the process and take a step forward.
    This new undertaking carries the same responsibility we shouldered with 'Meech Speaks. We understand the gravity of having a platform and an image. We discuss setting boundaries to conserve our energy and utilizing our gifts to their fullest potential. Mental and emotional health remain at the core of our conversation. Your hosts, a United States Marine and clinical psychologist, welcome you to join us on this journey. 'Talkin Crazy Podcast' is more than just a podcast, it's a community, a safe space to heal and grow. Together, we embark on this new chapter.
