    Why We Ignore Red Flags and How to Stop it, with Dr. Stephan Poulter

    Why We Ignore Red Flags and How to Stop it, with Dr. Stephan Poulter

    WE ignore red flags when dating because they feel familiar to us! Whoa! But, ladies and gentlemen, something that is familiar doesn’t make it right! 
    Are you familiar with being blamed, berated, and punished by a past or current partner? Do they never, or rarely, take responsibility for their actions, even possibly hide unhealthy behaviors? If so, this episode will resonate with you. You’ll get a list of red flags, learn why you ignore them, understand the role of shame and, most importantly, receive helpful tools to not ignore the red flags again. 
    We all deserve a healthy relationship. One with a partner that nourishes connection when conflicts arise, rather than pain, dishonesty, tension, and confusion. Get ready to transform shame into power! Listen in here.

    Dear Sons of the World

    This is a short inspiring solo episode from Nadia dedicated to all the sons of the world, and anyone who knows and loves them. She challenges us all to move beyond the blame and shame game as we walk through tensions, accusations, and strife between the genders, and instead into a place of choosing love over judgment-driven responses. She advocates for the healing of all sons as one of the best means through which interpersonal violence and abuse can be prevented and end, leaving us with a reading from her book as a token of hope and strength to begin the healing journey.

    Modern Masculinity, with Dr. Stephan Poulter, PhD

    In this episode, we learn how to approach men's mental health with compassion, understanding, and grace, contrary to the antagonistic approach that seems so common these days. Here, Dr. Steve and Nadia put an end to the blame and shame game, embracing the fact that WE are all in this life together. You'll learn tips about how to hold each other accountable with mutual empathy and respect, as well as gain a deeper understanding of why the "masculine" often treat emotions and feelings a certain way.
    Dr. Steve gives us an overview: What is modern masculinity? What does a man need to reach it? What are the four horsemen? and more. This is not excusing abuse anyone might have experienced, rather, this is getting to the root causes so we can bring it to an end! Stay Tuned for more related episodes

    Red Flags, How to Spot 'Em, and Stop Ignoring Them

    Red Flags, How to Spot 'Em, and Stop Ignoring Them

    In this episode, Dr. Steve lays out the brutal truth, then empowers us with details to walk away with. “It gets down to the need to be needed,” he says. When unaware of this shame-driven emotion, reflags are ignored, and we so often become the target of another’s shame and blame game. He gives helpful lists of red flags, such as love bombing, disrespecting others, blaming, never owning one’s part, punishment, ghosting, triangulation, getting grilled about past relationships. “That’s not companionship. That’s a straight-jacket.”
    Mutual respect, on the other hand, has ground rules that are respected. These are green flags, and include acceptance of each’s problems, kindness, privacy, the ability to forgive, healthy introspection, and direct communication. This is a short powerful episode for anyone who has experienced the painful interplay of shame in an unhealthy relationship. After listening to this, you will no longer repeat that pattern!

    Self-Acceptance, Empathy, and Relationships, with Dr. Stephan B. Poulter, PhD

    Self-Acceptance, Empathy, and Relationships, with Dr. Stephan B. Poulter, PhD

    What is self-acceptance? Why is it key to empathy? How does SHAME impede both? In this episode, Dr. Steve beautifully defines and explains all three, as well as the interplay between them in our intimate relationships. Self-acceptance is the roadmap for overall happiness, direction, and interpersonal success is life. "It's going within, taking an inventory, and knowing our blind spots...It can't be found in another person!," he says. Without self-acceptance, shame goes unrecognized and interrupts intimacy, honesty, and authenticity. How? and, most of all, What can we do about it?
    Listen in to get specific tools for moving forward, including delineating personal boundaries, mutual values, and taking responsibility for acts and words. Ultimately, with self-acceptance, relationships become beautiful spaces to grow, heal, and thrive together! STAY TUNED for future episodes on Dr. Steve's new book, Modern Masculinity.

CaliMom96 ,

A brave warrior

I can’t imagine having gone through what Nadia did then having the courage to get back out there in the public eye but it just shows her passion and dedication to helping others. This podcast offers a raw and authentic look into how to do the hard work that goes into quieting the shame-based thoughts that can destroy us. Keep going Nadia!
