🎙 The Feel Inspired Podcast | Episode 99**Why Therapy Could Be Harming Your Relationships | Richard L. Blake (The Breath Geek)

💥 Has modern therapy been asking the wrong questions?

For decades we've been told:

"Just talk about it."

"Go to therapy."

"Express your emotions."

But what if the latest research suggests the conversation is far more complicated?

In Episode 99, I sit down with Richard L. Blake - better known as The Breath Geek - PhD psychologist, holistic counsellor, researcher and one of the most thought-provoking voices challenging conventional approaches to psychology, mental health and relationships.

This isn't an anti-therapy episode.It's a conversation that questions whether some of the ideas we've accepted as unquestionable are actually helping the people they're designed to serve.

Together we explore emerging research around men's mental health, relationship psychology, attachment theory, modern dating, and whether certain therapeutic approaches may sometimes reinforce the very problems they're trying to solve.If you're open to challenging assumptions, this episode will make you think.---

Inside this episode, we explore:

✅ Why some researchers are questioning the effectiveness of traditional therapy for certain people

✅ The surprising data around men's mental health, suicide and therapeutic support

✅ Why "just talking about it" may not always be the most effective solution for men

✅ Can therapy unintentionally make relationships worse?

✅ Attachment Theory - what recent research supports, and what it challenges

✅ Why modern dating feels more confusing than ever

✅ Trauma, emotional resilience and the stories we tell ourselves

✅ AI, psychology and the future of relationships

✅ Practical ways to build healthier, stronger relationships beyond labels and diagnoses---

💡 This episode is for you if:

• You're interested in psychology, therapy and mental health

• You want to understand modern dating on a deeper level

• You're curious about men's mental health and emotional wellbeing

• You've ever wondered whether attachment styles explain everything

• You enjoy evidence-based conversations that challenge conventional wisdom

Because here's the truth...Progress doesn't come from protecting ideas.It comes from questioning them.

Whether you agree with everything discussed or not, this conversation challenges some of the biggest assumptions surrounding therapy, dating and relationships today -and invites us to ask a better question:

What actually helps people build healthier, happier relationships?---

In Episode 98, I sit down with Rowan Tissera, founder of the Man Again Method and the Meraki Movement, for a powerful conversation exploring modern dating, relationships, mindset, personal growth, and what it truly means to live with intention.

This isn't another conversation filled with dating hacks or quick fixes.

It's about understanding the psychology behind attraction, confidence, emotional resilience, and the internal work that creates healthier relationships - not just with a partner, but with yourself.

Rebuilding After Divorce, Identity & Breaking Cultural Conditioning with Gurveer Singh (Rebuilt Singh)

💥 What if your lowest moment… became the foundation for your strongest self?

In Episode 97, I sit down with Gurveer Singh, also known as Rebuilt Singh - a man whose life took a powerful turn after divorce, leading him on a journey of transformation, self-discovery, and rebuilding from the ground up.

But this isn’t just a story about heartbreak.
It’s about identity, conditioning, and the beliefs we inherit without question.

Together, we explore the deeper layers of South Asian culture - the unspoken rules, legacy mindsets, and societal expectations that shape how we love, date, and show up in relationships.

👉 And what it really takes to break free from them.

This conversation is raw, reflective, and deeply relevant for anyone navigating modern dating while carrying the weight of cultural programming.

🔍 Inside this episode, we explore:
✅ Life after divorce — rebuilding confidence, identity, and direction

✅ South Asian cultural conditioning — expectations around marriage, family, and roles
✅ How legacy beliefs and dogma impact modern dating
✅ Masculinity, emotional expression, and reclaiming your voice
✅ The tension between tradition and individuality
✅ Dating after divorce — what changes, what matters, what to avoid

• You want to understand how your upbringing shapes your relationships
• You’re working on confidence, identity, and self-worth
• You’re ready to date again — but differently this time

Because here’s the truth…

We inherit belief systems.

we end up living a life that looks right on the outside…
but feels completely misaligned on the inside.

And then… the conversation takes a turn.

👉 Into identity.
👉 Into culture.
👉 Into health, performance, and what it means to navigate life as a South Asian man in today’s world.

It’s everything that came before… and everything that follows.

💸 Want to pay off your mortgage years earlier - without earning more or sacrificing your lifestyle?

In this episode, I sit down with Jinesh Vohra, the founder of Sprive, the mortgage-overpayment app that stunned the investors on BBC’s Dragons’ Den.

When Jinesh stepped into the Den, the Dragons were so impressed that three of them invested - Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, and Touker Suleyman.

But the real story is what happened before the TV cameras.

Jinesh began his career in the world of finance, spotting a problem most homeowners quietly accept:
People stay trapped in decades-long mortgages without realising how much control they actually have.

So he built Sprive — an app designed to help people pay off their mortgage faster, smarter, and with surprisingly little effort.

In this conversation we unpack:

• The real story behind Sprive and how the idea was born• What it was like pitching on Dragons’ Den• What happened after three Dragons invested• Why most people massively underestimate how quickly they could become mortgage-free• The simple psychology behind building financial freedom• Why singles and new couples should be thinking about financial strategy earlier than they do• How small financial habits today can change your entire future

This episode is especially powerful if you're:

• A homeowner who wants to pay off your mortgage years earlier• A single professional thinking about your long-term financial independence• A couple planning your future together• Someone who simply wants more control over their money and less stress about it

Because real freedom in life and relationships doesn’t just come from emotional connection…

It also comes from financial clarity and smart decisions.

🎙 The Feel Inspired Podcast | Episode 91 ❤️🎙

I’m in the Hot Seat: Your Dating, Love & Relationship Questions - Answered (Valentine’s Special)

This episode is different.For the first time on The Feel Inspired Podcast, I become the guest.

And stepping into the interviewer’s chair is Amit Lakhani (Ep85), who turns the mic back on me for a no-holds-barred Valentine’s special.

In Episode 91, we pulled real, unfiltered questions straight from the ConnectAsian WhatsApp community - the questions people are actually asking but rarely get honest answers to.

No scripts.

No platitudes.

No dating clichés.

Just real conversations about love, patterns, confusion, healing, and what actually works in modern dating.

We didn’t even get through all the questions (time ran out… clearly a Part 2 is needed 👀), but the ones we did cover go deep.

Inside this episode, we explore:

✅ Why so many people repeat the same dating patterns - even when they “know better”

✅ How to tell if you’re settling… or genuinely choosing peace

✅ The difference between chemistry, attraction, and emotional availability

✅ When to stay, when to walk, and when to stop over-explaining

✅ Why dating feels harder now - and what actually helps

✅ How to date with intention without becoming guarded or cynical

✅ What Valentine’s Day really triggers for singles (and how to handle it)

This episode isn’t about quick tips or surface-level advice.

It’s about self-honesty, emotional maturity, and learning how to date in a way that protects your heart without closing it.

If you’ve ever thought:

👉 “Why does dating feel so confusing?”

👉 “Am I asking for too much - or not enough?”

👉 “Is it me… or is dating just broken?”

Dating Safety, Catfishing & Emotional Manipulation with Harkirat Kaur

If you think “this could never happen to me”…
This episode is exactly why it can.

In Episode 90, I sit down with Harkirat Kaur, aka Kirat, whose real-life story became the global phenomenon behind the Sweet Bobby podcast and the Sweet Bobby documentary.

This is not a story about being foolish.
It’s a story about being human.

For nearly a decade, Harkirat was emotionally manipulated and catfished by someone she trusted - a deception so sophisticated it bypassed intelligence, intuition, and logic.

And here’s the uncomfortable truth:
👉 Modern dating environments make this easier than ever.

This conversation goes far beyond headlines and shock value.
We break down how emotional scams actually work, why smart people fall into them, and what you must never ignore while dating - no matter how connected, excited, or invested you feel.

Inside this episode, we explore:

✅ The psychology behind catfishing and long-term emotional manipulation✅ Why “love bombing” feels intoxicating - and why it’s dangerous✅ The subtle red flags most people dismiss too early✅ How scammers build emotional dependency before control✅ Why intelligence and success do NOT protect you✅ The role of loneliness, hope, and fantasy in modern dating✅ How to date safely without becoming cynical or closed off✅ Practical boundaries everyone should have while dating online

This episode isn’t about fear.
It’s about awareness.

Because the goal isn’t to stop trusting-
It’s to stop overriding your instincts when something feels off.

If you’re dating online…
If you’ve ever ignored red flags because “it felt right”…
If you coach, support, or care about singles navigating modern dating…

This episode is essential listening.
