Healing Honeys (formerly OPENHOUSE with Louise Rumball) - 156 - Justin Bieber + Parasocial Relationships

156 - Justin Bieber + Parasocial Relationships

05/14/24 • 47 min

Healing Honeys (formerly OPENHOUSE with Louise Rumball)

Crying over Biebs? You’re not alone. There Louise was. Standing in a cute little organic supermarket when it happened. Justin and Hailey Bieber announced that they were having a BABY! Her reaction? Silence and a weird smidge of... something? Had that feeling too? You’re not alone. That’s the story of how this episode was born. Pun intended!

From dreaming of running into your favorite star on the street to feeling personally offended when they're criticized, the allure of celebrity culture can be downright intoxicating. But why do we feel this intense connection to people we've never even met? And how does it affect us on a deeper level? AND HOW CAN WE REALLY BE UPSET WHEN SOMEONE WE HAVE NEVER MET ANNOUNCES THEY ARE HAVING A BABY WITH A WOMAN WHO IS NOT YOU? In today’s episode, Louise sits down to investigate the psychological and emotional aspects of celebrity worship and parasocial relationships.

In this episode, Louise dives into:

  • The slightly odd but hilarious reactions she and her friends had to the Beiber pregnancy announcement.
  • The psychology behind celebrity worship and the three levels of parasocial relationships.
  • Why the Selena v. Hailey/ Damon v. Stefan debates get us in a chokehold.
  • Why criticism of our favorite fandoms and idols evokes visceral reactions (looking at you, Swifties).
  • The delulu belief that we can "fix" or help celebrities like Justin Bieber.
  • Maladaptive daydreaming and escapism associated with celebrity fascination.
  • Themes of the sheer relentlessness of life, self-worth, and attachment styles.

And more!

157 - Decentering Men + The Power of a Man Ban

Celibacy gets a bad rap, are we right? This week, Louise jumps into the Bumble controversy to reverse ANY sort of shame you might be feeling about your own dating and celibacy decisions after that tone deaf ad. Because, you know what, sometimes a man ban is actually the PERFECT answer. And us women? We’ve had enough of being told what to do for as long as we can remember. And if you don’t wanna date, hook up, sleep with anyone? You do you honey boo! Don’t let a billboard shame you.

After a hot take intro where you get Louise all to yourself, Louise revives a past episode with Jordan Jeppe, shadow work guide and celibacy expert. Join Louise & Jordan for a real-talk girl episode as they:

  • Share their personal journeys with celibacy- one intentional, the other with a side of naughtiness.
  • Debunk common misconceptions about celibacy (yes, you can still date!).
  • Explore how our shadow influences dating patterns.
  • Discuss the game-changing impact of setting boundaries and intentions in the dating stage.
  • Give us all the juicy details on navigating celibacy even while dating.
  • Unpack the concept of a 'sexual pause'.

The pair’s raw, honest conversation will demystify the assumptions around celibacy and help you see it as a path to self-discovery, empowerment, and the best sex of your life!
