More often than not, we can mistake codependency for unconditional love. When we don't know the difference we're unable to understand ourselves and our relationships with clarity. In today's show, I will identity signs of codependency and signs of unconditional love so we can determine the difference and better understand where we stand. Later in the hour, Dan Nelson, our resident historian joins us with the historical perspective. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/pod...

Often when we interact with a narcissist, we aren't aware. We don't realize the signs of narcissism when we are interacting with a friend, family member, or significant other.

In today's show we will examine traits of narcissism and explore the programming of giving to the narcissist, feeling bad, getting nothing in return, and then feeling bad for not giving more. Dan Nelson our resident historian joins u...

We give words immense power, and in the process we lose sight of action. Even though actions speak louder than words, we tend to forget that all together. We forget that in our relationships and within ourselves. We listen to what people tell us and we forget to see if they follow it up with action. There’s a tendency of finding ourselves in friendships and relationships that push our boundaries, if we have any to begin with. The relationships that we feel are true love may be a trauma bond inst...

No matter the relationship, parent, family, friend, enemy, or romantic relationship, every person we come into contact helps us to see ourselves more clearly. The other people in our life mirror us in ways we sometimes are unaware. When we find ourselves in toxic relationships, when things get truly "bad" we may find the strength to go and find answers leading to answers to understand us and how we tick.

I've realized beginning on day one of our life here on this planet we begin to be programmed. We are programmed by our parents, environment, and upbringing. That programming impacts our lives in every way possible. The programming impacts how we interrupt something said or an action done by another. The programming inspires the creation of who we are and how we act in every situation and every relationship. The impact on our romantic relationships is huge. Do we follow a codepedent program?

Understanding oneself is key. We were once children and we remember how challenging it was to understand our feelings and emotions. More often our go-to emotion was anger because we didn't understand why we were angry or scared. When a child or young adult understands their emotions and is able to write about them and even draw them, it makes them more successful and more mindful. Ashley has a conversation with Shearin and John Lee on Live Your True Life Perspectives. They are the creators of "B...

That abuse clouded our thought process about ourselves and made us question our worth and value. Diane Scabilloni joins Ashley live on Live Your True Life Perspectives.
