Everyone Has An Ex

They say love is blind, but do we ever really listen? Because in those first precious moments with a new love, where you’re sharing stories, trading secrets and talking for hours on end, you truly think there’s nothing that will shake that unbreakable bond. And that was the case for Rachel and Ben.

But dear listener, no matter how many hours you spend talking, or how many truths be told, can you ever really truly know someone? Because some parts will always remain hidden...sometimes in deep, dark corners....and sometimes, in plain sight, just waiting to be found.

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains extremely adult themes, dealing with drug use and suicidal ideation and child abuse. Listener discretion is advised.

The trick to mastering manifestation is to speak what you seek until you see what you’ve said. And when the universe not only listens, but delivers, it is a truly powerful thing, which was exactly the case, for Jess.

But what is more powerful than manifestation at its best, dear listener? It’s that little thing called gut feeling. When everything seems perfect, but your intuition suggests otherwise. Sometimes it’s subtle, but other times it raises an internal alarm that cannot be ignored

And a heads up this episode mentions sexual and domestic violence - if you or someone you know needs help you can call 1800 RESPECT the national domestic, family and sexual violence counselling, information and support service.

The blindside. A simple term, but it can mean so much. It comes in many forms. There’s of course the good sort, where the unexpected is a welcome, happy surprise.

But, it can be a bad thing too. And For Sarah, there were other things she didn’t see coming. That other type of blindside that only other people experience. One that turns a seemingly dreamy life together, into a complete nightmare.

Love bombing. We’ve all heard of it. When, right at the start of a relationship, one party bombs the other with so much love, attention and romance, the other just can’t resist.

And for Stella, there was even an added layer that it came from her high school sweetheart.

But while those seemingly innocent gestures may make you feel warm and sparkly in the beginning, there’s nothing innocent about them at all. That love and attention turns into control and manipulation...and the romance, into gaslighting and abuse.

The age of online dating. It certainly has its ups and downs. Sure, it takes away a bit of that face-to-face connection you’d get meeting someone at a bar. But it also means you don’t have to be in the same bar as someone to meet them. There’s a whole world full of options right at your fingertips. And it allowed Sophie to meet Stelios.

And it’s a normal way to meet someone. Gone are the days of being concerned about creeps lurking in dark rooms on their keyboards, or embarrassment about connecting with someone through a screen. These days, you know who people are when you speak to them online...don’t you?
