    S3. Ep.8 Learning To Love Yourself with Nardia Joy

    Outward love isn't always readily available - you won't always have people giving you the reassurance you crave or the nurturance you need during times of stress. So, what then?!  The truth is...only YOU can take care of yourself and give yourself the love that you truly desire anytime.anywhere. But it's hard for many people to do because people don't actively learn how to love themselves and there are very few role models out there showing us what to do, or how to do it. In this episode I speak with Nardia who is the founder of NardiaJoy - a transformational leadership company that teaches founders and leaders in start-ups how to lead authentically, in a way that brings out the best in them and their teams. She transforms the way that leaders think and feel and supports them to gain a deep understanding of why they do what they do and assists them to become self-aware and how to take ownership of their impact. Nardia is also radicalising self-love through her community Love Queens, as she believes that self-love is the single most important lesson that we need to learn. When we know how to truly love ourselves, just as we are, then we can live the life we desire. Love is always the answer. Tune in to hear about Nardia's journey talking all about domestic violence, motherhood, narcissism and finding love within! Find Nardia on the following: https://www.nardiajoy.com/   Please read all disclaimers, terms and conditions on https://katieodonoghue.com when consuming content from this platform, or other social media channels that are connected.

    S3 Ep.7 Porn: Helpful or Harmful To Your Relationship? with Dimitri Douchin

    Healthy relationships are built on safety, acceptance and trust. So, what do you do when you find out your partner has been watching porn? And how much is "too much"? Moreover, what should you do if you feel like it has been affecting your sex life? In this episode I speak with Dimitri Douchin, PhD who is a psychotherapist specialised in recovery from sexual addictions and trauma reprocessing. Dimitri’s training was first in science. After obtaining his PhD, he left academia and started working as a psychosexual therapist. Meanwhile Dimitri battled his addictions until, after 17 years, he overcame his own addictions to sex and pornography. Focusing on releasing trauma and repressed emotions with inner child work, Dimitri has been helping thousands of men working on their sexuality and emotional wounds - a mission that he embodies today in his new platform dedicated to a holistic psychological treatment of pornography addiction, www.unhooked.care .

    S3. Ep.3 Stop Making Assumptions In Your Relationship

    We all make assumptions in our relationships. We naturally fill in the gaps where we are missing pieces of information so we can make sense of our world - and of our relationship. But whenever we make an assumption, we have an impact on our experience and on someone else's. And the trouble truly arises when our assumptions are predominantly negative, creating conflict and disconnection, fuelling blame and doubt. In this episode, I'm talking about assumptions - what they are, how they may show up, what they teach you about yourself and how to start taking some key steps to stop assumption making in your relationship today!
