The Sibling Trap

Rage.
We all feel it.
But how are we preventing it mindfully?

We don't have to always resort to negative coping or projecting onto those around us because we feel rage.

Both Barry and Katrina discuss how your partner can be a positive source of support in these moments and the negative spiral that begins to happen when the partner is not supportive.

Your mental health is so important, and we want you to be someone you're proud of.

If you realize that you need to make adjustments in your life but lack the support or accountability to do so, Katrina's membership for women could be a great fit for you as you say hello to your favorite version of yourself!

Have you ever noticed that every time you get close to someone, you feel like you would just be better off alone?

Too often people create misconceptions about the depth of a relationship or rush into expressing love *cough cough lovebombing* rather than allowing those feelings to flow naturally.

In this episode, Barry reflects on his decision to remain single and give up the chase for love while Katrina provides intuitive feedback about what could cause this paradigm shift.

We take things to the next level with deep conversation prompts to get to know each other better and understand ourselves more.

What is something people believe about you that isn’t true?
 
 Do you show your full or true self around others?
 
 Do you feel like people assume that you have everything together but really struggle behind the scenes?
 
 What characteristics do you admire most in others?
 
 Is there a part of yourself that you feel like you need to hide from me?
 
 How would you spend your last day?
 
 What are you currently worried the most about in your life?
 
 What do you believe in that you don’t have proof of?
 
 What would you do if you weren’t afraid?
 
I hope you found yourself thinking about your answers to these through our conversation. We'd love to hear from you and your perspective on any of the things we touched on (or if you have another idea to cover in future episodes), please head over to Instagram @TheSiblingTrap and share!
 
 

"What did I do (or not do) to make you seek attention elsewhere?"
Have you ever been in a position where you felt that you were the reason your partner wasn't loyal to you?

We peel back the layers of experiencing a partner cheating on you on today's episode of The Sibling Trap podcast.

What red flags are often overlooked?
What are gray areas that could be misconstrued or misinterpreted?

How do impulsive or intentionally disrespectful decisions affect the other person?

Barry shares a bit of his struggle to move forward in his healing journey after experiencing a painful situation with an ex. 

Do you have insight on this topic? We'd love to hear your story or perspective around this or how you are healing after being on the receiving end of infidelity.

Head over to @TheSiblingTrap on Instagram and share what you are comfortable with. 

As Katrina moves through her divorce, things are coming up for her as she steps into a role as a breadwinner.

How is she keeping a positive mindset with so much financial uncertainty moving forward?

What are her worries going from a stay-at-home mom with a side job to a full-on supporter of herself and the children?

How have Barry and Katrina adjusted their spending habits during months when money is a bit tight?

Please head over to Instagram @TheSiblingTrap and share your opinions. 
Are you a breadwinner? What are the worries you've had or obstacles you face in your scenario?

What is the best etiquette while navigating divorce with kids?
How should the dynamic with extended family or in-laws change?

Katrina shares her current struggle with this and gives insight into what she expects moving forward while helping others understand how a family could support moms through this hard chapter.

Sharing about this on the podcast is difficult, but we created this space to have the hard conversations to connect as a community and understand different perspectives.

Barry shares a bit about his recent breakup and what he's learned through that experience. 

What if you meet someone incredible and makes you feel so happy, but can't physically be in the same place as them because of distance?

Life is full of ups and downs, but we are thrilled to be on this ride together (and with you!).

We want to hear about your stance on these topics.
Head over to @TheSiblingTrap on Instagram and share your opinions.

What does it feel like when you're finally in a secure relationship?

Was there an invisible string tying you to each other all along?

It's so fascinating seeing how there were moments where things ALMOST happened that would have brought two people together earlier.

What if your soulmate is already in your life, but you've been all in on other relationships, preventing you from entertaining what could be possible with someone else.

We also touch on an activity that you can implement consistently as a couple to strengthen your relationship.

We'd love to hear your thoughts! Comment below or DM us on insta @TheSiblingTrap 

Will you know when you meet your soulmate?

Is it possible to move too fast when you DO meet them?

Do you feel it's more natural to go fast in relationships as an adult when you feel a once-in-a-lifetime connection?

It seems we never know what's around the corner for us or what the universe has in store for us.

If you're in the thick of it, please keep going.
Please keep holding onto hope.

We want to know your feedback! Head over to IG @TheSiblingTrap and share your thoughts with us. 

In today's episode, Katrina and Barry sit down and discuss the sacrifices men are making to have a successful career.

The pressure that society is under to have a well-paying job is costing us in a variety of ways.

Would love to hear your takeaways!

This is part TWO of our guest session discussing the attachment styles.

You all loved when we touched on the attachment styles earlier this season, and we put out an open offer for anyone who had a secure attachment style to come and join us in a conversation.

How are we showing up in our relationships?
What patterns do we have that maybe aren't the healthiest?
How willing are we to be vulnerable with a partner?
Do we push people away when we are angry at them?

We go in DEEP today.
How does each of us answer the question?
We had some fun banter here that you're going to love.
BONUS points for anyone who watches the episode on YouTube.
The side eyes and faces of judgment were totally spot on.
