    79 - LIFE UPDATE - My Ex Texted Me, Premium Content + Sex Toys

    en-usFebruary 28, 2023

    Podcast Summary

    • Dealing with rejection and new technology in sex toysRejection is a normal part of life and can be coped with by drawing inspiration from those who persevered, like J.K. Rowling. New technology in sex toys, like Lilo's vibrators and dildos, can enhance sexual experiences.

      Life can be unpredictable and filled with ups and downs, and it's important to remember that rejection is a normal part of life, whether it's in personal relationships or business. Louise Rumble, the host of Open House podcast, shared her own experiences of rejection and how she copes with it by drawing inspiration from J.K. Rowling's perseverance in the face of numerous rejections. Additionally, she announced the launch of their premium content, including a live therapy session and a chance to win $1,000 worth of sex toys for two lucky subscribers in March. The podcast also discussed the exciting new technology from Lilo, a Swedish brand, that has created vibrators and dildos designed to enhance sexual experiences.

    • Allow yourself to feel the painIt's okay to take time to heal after rejection or difficult experiences, everyone's healing process is unique, and there's no rush to move forward.

      It's okay to experience pain and take time to heal after rejection or difficult experiences. It's important to acknowledge the hurt and give ourselves grace to feel the emotions, rather than suppressing them or trying to bulldoze through. Taking a moment to rest and recharge can help us gather the strength to move forward. Unexpected events, such as receiving a message from an ex after a long silence, can be particularly challenging, but it's important to remember that healing is a process and that we deserve to take the time we need to recover. It's also important to remember that everyone's healing process is unique, and there's no right or wrong way to move forward. So, take the time you need, let yourself feel the pain, and then take small steps forward when you're ready. And remember, the "rumbles" (or we) love a rest.

    • Unexpected emotions from past relationships through technologyTechnology can reconnect us with past relationships and bring up strong emotions, sometimes unexpectedly.

      Technology can bring unexpected surprises and emotions, even years after a relationship has ended. The speaker shared a story about receiving a text message from an ex-boyfriend, whom she had deleted from her contacts, which left her in shock and led to a series of emotional events. She also mentioned an incident with her current boyfriend, where she mistakenly believed he had been unfaithful. These experiences highlight how technology can reconnect us with past relationships and bring up strong emotions, sometimes unexpectedly. It's essential to remember that technology can be a double-edged sword, bringing both positive and negative experiences.

      Focusing on chemistry alone in relationships can lead to incompatibility. The speaker, Lou, shares her personal experience of learning the difference between chemistry and compatibility after years of dating based on chemistry.

Overall, the speaker emphasized the significance of exploring different sex toys and the potential for unexpected pleasures.

    • Exploring Intimacy with the Soraya WaveThe Soraya Wave sex toy brings pleasure and emotional connection for some users, enhancing their self-exploration and intimacy.

She has developed a strong connection with it, to the point of missing it when she's away. The speaker also mentions her excessive coffee consumption and her struggles with relationships, but the central theme is her appreciation for this sex toy and the positive impact it has on her.

You know when you think you're living your best life, and then one day everything comes crashing down so hard that you have to stop and really reflect on what brought you here?

    158 - Understanding the eternal bachelor: why won't he settle down or grow up ft. Stephanie Therapy
    The perpetual bachelor. We’ve all known one. Probably all dated one too. Probably been heart broken by one as well. You know what we’re talking about: the hyper-charismatic, sells you a dream, gets you excited for the future then never pulls through kinda guy or gal. Maybe everything is perfect at the beginning but as time goes on you see they don’t turn up to plans on time, they don’t lead and they end up being well… just disappointing. Constantly scrolling on their phone, not making plans, always on the sofa, always drunk or always hungover. Today, join Louise and Stephanie Therapy as they jump into uncovering all things Peter Pan Syndrome and how some men might grow up, but might never really want to accept responsibility for their life.  The pair jump into? The concept of commitment  The deep seated fears and insecurities that often drive men away from being ‘the one’ for you How societal expectations and gender norms further contribute to the reluctance of some men to embrace long-term relationships The concept of Peter Pan Syndrome How to work out if you are being his ‘Wendy’? And how to work out if it’s the avoidant attachment style or Peter Pan Syndrome. Louise and Stephanie Therapy share actionable tips and strategies for understanding and navigating relationships with commitment-phobic men and also help you understand why YOU might be interested and engaging in these types of relationships. ----- Ready to learn how to level up your life via your nervous system and subconscious mind in just 9 weeks? ⭐Join the There She Glows Waitlist⭐: https://www.thisisopenhouse.com/how-to-rewire-your-subconscious-mind  Join OPENHOUSE PREMIUM now at: https://openhouse.supercast.com/ Connect with Louise on Instagram: @iamlouiserumball Follow Louise (The Therapy Girl) on TikTok: @thetherapygirl__ Connect with OPENHOUSE on Instagram: @theopenhousepodcast Connect with Stephanie Therapy on TikTok: @stephanietherapy ----- Music  Vibe With Me by Joakim Karud http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/-7YDBIGCXs Learn more about your ad choices.

Her reaction? Silence and a weird smidge of… something? Had that feeling too? You’re not alone. That’s the story of how this episode was born. Pun intended! From dreaming of running into your favorite star on the street to feeling personally offended when they're criticized, the allure of celebrity culture can be downright intoxicating. But why do we feel this intense connection to people we've never even met? And how does it affect us on a deeper level? AND HOW CAN WE REALLY BE UPSET WHEN SOMEONE WE HAVE NEVER MET ANNOUNCES THEY ARE HAVING A BABY WITH A WOMAN WHO IS NOT YOU? In today’s episode, Louise sits down to investigate the psychological and emotional aspects of celebrity worship and parasocial relationships. In this episode, Louise dives into: The slightly odd but hilarious reactions she and her friends had to the Beiber pregnancy announcement. The psychology behind celebrity worship and the three levels of parasocial relationships. Why the Selena v. Hailey/ Damon v. Stefan debates get us in a chokehold. Why criticism of our favorite fandoms and idols evokes visceral reactions (looking at you, Swifties). The delulu belief that we can "fix" or help celebrities like Justin Bieber. Maladaptive daydreaming and escapism associated with celebrity fascination. Themes of the sheer relentlessness of life, self-worth, and attachment styles.

    MATING CRISIS: The Biggest Problems Keeping Men & Women SINGLE... | Stephan Speaks
    Looking for a high value man or woman will have you feeling more detached from yourself and reality than figuring out your life’s purpose. Generally speaking there are natural occurring differences between men and women that do not have to be viewed as adversarial or problematic. In today’s social media influenced dating scene, there are so many toxic ideals floating around that dating and finding relationships are more difficult than they ever were before. Traditional male roles are being attacked for being toxically unacceptable by today’s internet standards and both men and women are feeling pressure to live up to standards that a narrow percentage of people will actually fit into. Stephan Speaks is joining Tom to address a very hard conversation. Stephan Speaks has garnered hundreds of millions of views from his own YouTube presence as a relationship expert focused on helping men and women create healthier happier relationships aligned with the essence of their true self. He’s not shy about calling out behaviors and flawed thinking from men and women that make finding authentic connection difficult. Declining testosterone levels in young men, porn, and an unhealed broken subset of men (and women) with large online platforms are just a few of the issues of a much bigger problem that Stephan is speaking to in this episode. Let’s talk about why you’re being shamed for not wanting the internet standard and how the Andrew Tate phenomenon and others like that for men and women are destroying your potential for love, family and real connection.

    027: Relationship Compatibility - A Love That Can Last

    027: Relationship Compatibility - A Love That Can Last
    We all want to be “in love." Why? It feels amazing, validates who we are, and allows us a level of growth and joy that we cannot experience on our own.    Your relationships serve as mirrors. What does that mean? You have places inside of you where you have shamed, judged, or blamed yourself, and those parts of your character get locked away inside of you especially after a breakup.    You become shut down and fearful as a result. How do you open your heart again after a heartbreak? The key is to be aware of your own values and needs.   When you take responsibility and are willing to awaken to what is going on inside of you... only then can you be empowered to show who you really are... embracing your values and needs within an authentic relationship. From a soul perspective, you chose those partners that will help you to unlock those closed doors, thus the reason for the attraction in the first place.   Those closest to you know where to push your buttons so you can ultimately heal, and although painful... if you can stay open and vulnerable to what life is teaching you, not only will you heal, but you will know a love like never before.      Learn more about Awaken Radio

    #428 How To Spot A Narcissist, The Impact of Toxic Relationships & Building Healthy Boundaries with Dr Ramani Durvasula

    Whether it’s on the political stage, in the world of celebrity, or across social media, the word narcissist is used a lot these days. The same goes for terms like ‘gaslighting’. But do we really understand what they mean? Is their increased use a good thing, shining a light on toxic behaviours to beware of? Or do we risk diluting their impact – undermining what it really means to be stuck in a narcissistic relationship?

    This episode takes a frank look at all these questions and more, with licensed clinical psychologist Dr Ramani Durvasula. She’s Professor of Psychology at California State University, a world-renowned expert on the impact of personality and personality disorders on health and behaviour and someone who is extremely passionate about the impact that narcissism can have on physical health, mental health and relationships. She has written several books, including the latest, It’s Not You: How to Identify and Heal from Narcissistic People.

    We begin by exploring the true meaning of narcissism, its prevalence within society, the evolutionary explanation for narcissistic traits, the impact that narcissistic behaviours can have on our relationships and why it is that society seems to reward these traits, making them synonymous with success and fame.

    Dr Ramani believes too many people are harmed by narcissists. As a survivor herself, she’s made it her life’s work to raise awareness of how they can wreak havoc in relationships, families, workplaces and more. By exposing the traits and refusing to celebrate them, she wants to empower and protect people’s health.

    It’s Not You is the title of her book because Dr Ramani wants survivors of narcissism to know they’re not at fault. She believes you can get to a place of ‘radical acceptance’ where, even if you can’t leave, you can acknowledge a person’s behaviour is not OK and you’re not at fault. And during this conversation she outlines some of the ways you can get there, how you can protect yourself in future, and how to start healing if you have been hurt.

    This conversation is slightly different in topic and tone from what you may be used to on this podcast. But I do think that this is an important topic that is probably not spoken about enough. For me, it really was an honour to have such a deep and honest conversation about this topic with someone as passionate and articulate as Dr Ramani. I hope you enjoy listening.
