        • Ep 52: "Producer's Pick" - Date Yourself

          Go on social media and within two minutes you will come across dating advice. What if we took the best of that advice and directed it toward our relationship with ourselves? That sounds good on paper, but when it comes down to it, what does building a relationship with yourself look like? How do we do it? Jaime and CA are off this week, so our producer picked one of his favorite previous episodes of the show, “Date Yourself.” Enjoy!

          Notes:

          • What does building a relationship with yourself look like?
          • What does it feel like when you engage in dialogue with yourself?
          • Does it feel like a harmful relationship?
          • Is there Kindness?
          • Compassion?
          • Are you your own bully?

              • Ep 51 - When Your Parent is Your Bully

                As children, our homes are supposed to be our safe haven; a place where we can get away from the things that make life tough, but what happens when it’s not? What happens when we are bullied at home, too? In this episode, CA and Jaime explore bullying by discussing where it comes from, how it is learned, and how we can fight against it, even when it happens in our own homes.

                          Can you experience joy after or even in the midst of trauma? CA and Jaime take a look at why embracing joy can be such a difficult barrier for us to move beyond when trauma is a part of our lives and then they explore what exactly we can do about it.

                              Consent is mandatory and well all know that, but it runs a lot deeper than just saying “yes” before the act. In a world filled with fluidity and kinks, navigating consent, especially with someone who has been traumatized can be incredibly tricky. Join Jaime and CA as they explore what consent means, what it looks like in practice, and how to have healthy conversations regarding it.

                              *WARNING: This episode contains discussions about sex and consent. If hearing about those topics may harm you, please feel free to skip it.

                                    Learning our triggers is a huge part of the healing process, but knowing them and moving beyond them are two very different things. How do we break away from them? What do we do when we trigger someone else? How should they react? CA and Jaime take a deep-dive into these questions and more as they explore triggers, where they come from, and how to handle them.

                                    *WARNING: The opening roleplay contains yelling, activation, and escalation. If you would like to skip it fast-forward about a minute.

                                                Have you ever felt like you got deep with someone who refused to match that depth and wondered if they could? In this episode, Jaime and CA explore the concept of showing up fake to our relationships by discussing why some people seem unwilling or maybe even unable to show their authentic selves and then, what we should do about it.

                                                Notes:

                                                • Why some people are not equipped to go deeper
                                                • The shift from inability to unwillingness to go in-depth
                                                • Why someone could be unwilling to share emotional intimacy
