Separation Anxiety

Halle Berry has filed an emergency request, asking the court to restore her 50/50 custody arrangement with her ex-husband Olivier Martinez regarding their 13-year-old son Maceo. Berry gives a very different account of what happened between her and Maceo on September 26th, saying she would never hurt her son. Martinez claimed Berry physically abused Maceo and placed him in a chokehold, which led a judge to issue a temporary restraining order against the Oscar winning actress. Berry also goes into detail what she claims are examples of Martinez’s negative influence over her son designed to damage her relationship with Maceo.

Halle Berry is being accused of abusing her 12-year-old son Maceo by her ex-husband, actor Olivier Martinez. Martinez was granted a temporary restraining order against the Oscar winning actress and a judge has restricted Berry’s visitation with Maceo. Martinez alleges last week Berry “physically abused our son Maceo, by jumping on him, putting her hands around his neck and choking him.” Martinez is asking for sole custody, while Berry’s attorney fired back with a statement, saying her ex-husband’s claims are “entirely meritless and deliberately misleading.”

There are two new studies out that show younger people aren’t having as much sex and it’s a fairly significant shift from a decade ago. The Institute for Family Studies found that nearly 25 percent of adults ages 18 to 29 haven’t had sex in the past year. A recent Playboy study found the same results, and now experts are looking into why. From burn out from dating apps, to social anxiety stemming from the pandemic, to young adults moving back in with their parents, some experts believe this trend will continue to lower our country’s fertility rates further.

Spencer says he has no relationship with the King and believes he was gaslit by him, calling Buckingham Palace’s statement about his book condescending and “not straight.” Spencer also acknowledged that while most people believe he’s on Prince Harry’s side of the divide between him and Prince William, he insists he’s on the side of both of them, adding he hopes one day it’s resolved. Princess Di’s brother also revealed the reason he wrote the book now, and included his biggest regret in delivering Diana’s eulogy.

A doctor who studies gut feelings for a living wrote a fascinating article in the Washington Post this month. We learn about the science behind a gut feeling and when and how to know whether to trust it.  Researchers found that people who make quick judgements based on gut feelings alone, only get it right around 54% of the time. Instead, scientists say you should treat gut feelings as stop signs, a moment to assess what you’re feeling and why before making a rash decision. They even suggest doing two specific exercises to interrupt the hormonal surge that happens when a “gut feeling” takes over your body.

This is a list that will have many of you questioning how much you share with others, who you share that information with, and why you’re sharing it in the first place. Oversharing is a common trait in many of us, but sharing itself isn’t the problem, it’s when you’re sharing to get affirmation that’s at issue. Emotionally secure people don’t need their life to be witnessed in order to feel seen, and they don’t need others to confirm what they already know about themselves. We’ll go over the 8 things emotionally secure people keep to themselves, and how they choose to share their stories in a more meaningful way.
