Killing Cupid

Thinking about them all the time doesn’t mean you’re still in love with them or that you want to get back together. Most of the time it’s not even about them, it’s about you. Here are the 3 reasons that they get stuck in your mind and what it’s trying to tell you.

Bullies are another kind of toxic relationship. Today I sat down with Catherine Mattice, CEO & Founder of Civility Partners and the author of 3 books on workplace bullying to talk about what human resources can teach us about keeping out the toxic in your work, and your home. All toxic relationships follow a similar pattern- they use the same techniques and employ the same kind of enablers to maintain the status quo. Catherine breaks down why do people bully, why does it go ignored for so long, and how to nip it in the bud from the start (just like we have to do with other toxic people in our lives).

What does it mean to be sexually powerful? It’s not about buying a new dildo, or trying a new position, it’s much, much deeper than that (pun intended). Dr. Tara is a sexual communications expert and the host and founder of luvbites.co. She joined me to answer those questions and talk about how you can take back charge of your sexual life.

Friendly reminder here that unsatisfying and boring sex is NOT the norm. Did you know that 10-15% of women have NEVER had an orgasm? 😱 That has to stop. Today I spoke with Aware Moma, a sex, love, and embodiment coach about why so many of us are settling for lame sex lives. Many of us have what she calls negative sex stories, or assumptions and beliefs that we were taught about sex that aren't healthy, true, and lead us to accept a life without pleasure. We talk about what some of these misconceptions are, how we can change our mindset around sex because unless you have a medical condition, YOU CAN CUM, and CAN have a great sex life. 💦 If you like pleasure, you're definitely going to want to listen.

Cults! Cults! Cults! With more information than ever available at the tips of our fingers, how is it possible that destructive cults still manage to hook unsuspecting people? Well, we could say the same thing about red flags, but lord knows that's not stopping anyone as well as we'd hope. Last episode we got to why there are so many more cults, and today we’re looking at how they do it. We all know the cycle of manipulation, but how does this work on a massive scale? This episode I’ll be taking you on a deep dive into the twisted worlds of Herbalife and QAnon. We’re going into the nitty gritty- how they recruit, who they target, and a thorough investigation of the specific tools of manipulation each of these groups use. Plus, how our old friend Abraham Maslow might combat this rise in toxic groups. If you were ever curious about how cults work in the day to day, this is the episode for you. Questions? Comments?

Modern cults are more sophisticated, more insidious, and further reaching than ever before. And, to be frank, it's scarier and weirder than I could have ever imagined. In 1982, it was estimated there were between 300,000 and 3 million people in a cult. In 2017, Herbalife alone had 4.7 million members around the world. 😟What's the deal with this explosion of modern cults??? We used to think about cults as being a religion and a charismatic leader- but that's not enough anymore. I believe that cults are akin to being in a large scale abusive relationship. If we want to understand why so many of us are getting into toxic relationships with groups, we need to adopt a new model. In this episode, I explore the reasons for why there are so many new cults, why they're so successful, their parallels to toxic relationships and a new, better way of thinking about the toxic perils and practical application of mind control.

Is dating really harder for men? A lot of men feel like the standards and expectations aren't stacked in their favor and even getting their foot in the door is a monumental task. So what do you do if you're not tall or rich? I sat down with Dominey Drew, host of the Art of Attraction podcast and a premier dating coach for men who takes a intuitive approach to helping men find love through self-mastery. Instead of focusing on numbers and hookups, she takes a different approach and focuses on self-awareness and mindset management.

Dominey Drew is a premier dating coach for men who takes an intuitive approach to help her clients make the inner shift to find love through self mastery. She has helped CEOs find the same success in love that they have in business through a powerful process of mindset management.

Manipulation is to a narcissist what a surfboard is to a surfer. Manipulation isn't just about getting one over on someone, in some ways it's the lifeblood of what keeps them going. Narcissism isn't just an extremely dangerous personality disorder, narcissistic abuse (I believe) is one of the biggest dangers in our society today. Why would someone want to manipulate someone else in the first place? Why do narcissists discard? Why are their interactions so confusing? As dangerous as they...

Why is it the most empathetic people have the hardest lot in life? Is your desire to be compassion f***ing up your chances? Is your intuition making you a slave to desire?

Tools like Tarot and Astrology provide us with deeper knowledge about ourselves and others that we might have been blind to before, and gives us hope. It shows us the other side that touches everything we can see with our eyes and then some.
