Relationships Through the Looking Glass

In this podcast, we talk with Rodricgus and Rome as they provide me and my co-host, Nicole Victoria, with insight into what the term "love" is and is not.  Providing a male's perspective about their definition of love? Does expecting something in return make the term love less of what the true definition is? This podcast will ask questions like; is unconditional love a real thing, are there things that you should “expect” in a relationship, did you have any examples growing up what “love” looked like in a relationship...what was that, and what type of example do you feel you are for younger people when they think of relationships?

The world is a wonderland...the same one Alice found herself in. Everything is distorted and nothing appears real, while the fakest thing can feel like the most authentic experience.

The podcast will take a look at how our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us impact how we relate to one another. With a male and female perspective from guests in different fields and life experiences, we aim to use real-world examples of how the looking glass self-theory has an impact on all relationships. We will address societal, cultural, and mental health concepts in everyday terms as we work towards personal growth that allows us to build authentic relationships and attract connections meant for us.

While there may have been mental health concepts discussed, this podcast is not meant to be a substitute for diagnosis or mental health care. If anything in this episode triggered you, please seek the care of a professional mental health provider in your area.

It is a fact that women and men see, speak, and experience things in a very different way. Through the confusion and disconnection between interactions, conflict can result. This pod seeks to provide some clarity to how men think and if they could tell us anything, what would that be.

On the heels of our most listened to episode "After This Conversation, I May Just Stay Single", this follow-up takes a look at what it means to be "equally yoked" with a matched mindset. Listen as we have a balanced discussion, with a male and female perspective, on the importance of having emotional intelligence and effective communication in relationships when it comes to being accepted for who you are. Ladies, all is not lost. Apparently, there are males who value driven, determined ladies and can make their own damn sandwiches. 

Come listen to an honest and direct conversation between Michelle and some of her single friends. She takes up the mic with Nicole, Marc, and Lashun to talk about the challenges in dating and different types of relationships. Ladies, if you want some pointers direct from men and not the "feel good" IG coaches... (no shade) come take a listen. 

We cover topics such as the importance of therapy, commitment or lack of it, and intimidation in relationships. A light-hearted conversation that covers real issues with real tips for real outcomes. Heads up... it ain't for the weak. You may hear things that may trigger you but at the end of the day, the knowledge will be something you can use as you move forward in building connections. 

Enjoy!
