Shower Talk! w/ Tina and Norm
We (Tina and Norm) are a husband and wife team that hope to help YOU by sharing our own personal experiences, the mistakes we have made, our real world observations and our own personal growth experiences. Our goal is to help you learn more about yourself and what you can do to improve your relationships to make them healthy(or healthier) or to help show you that you aren’t alone when figuring it all out. Hopefully we can have some fun and laughs in the process!!! **Disclaimer - We are not doctors or therapists, and our podcast is not here to replace professional help. We are just sharing!

When some say they Love, Love, we think what they are really saying is they are addicted to the process of falling in love, but then when that extra fun part wears off, they are no longer interested. They have run out of excitement and need to get their dopamine fix from somewhere else!

That isn't entirely true, however you can't be lazy. If you want something, you need to work for it. If you have the expectation that shit is just going to come to you without putting any effort in, you're going to be disappointed and you will only have yourself to blame! You gotta step up!

Might as well face it, you aren't putting in the work by just farming memes because they are just the "perfect" expression for your emotional state. It's ok to use them to help you on that journey, but if that's all you're doing, then you are going to stall out. Meme's don't replace the work you need to put in to get to where you want to be! Unless of course standing still is best for you, then kee...
Limbo is no fun, unless it is accompanied by a Chubby Checker song, a cocktail and a stick! It is full of uncertainty, but life is filled with both big and small limbo moments. How do you deal with it, and how do you work through limbo? Sometimes, it's not up to you. You have to control and deal with the parts you can deal with and just Keep Going!

Knowing who is and isn't your friends can save you a lot of heartache. Creating levels of friends and friendship can be a healthy way of dealing with those that are actually wanting to be a friend, acquaintance, or just someone who is looking to take something from you! Not everyone deserves all of you, and YOU get to decide how much each person gets and deserves.

Let's talk about how we Self-Segregate ourselves. We see it all over the place! What does it mean?? If you ever feel upset because you aren't being included, you need to look at yourself and see if you've tried to actively participate with those around you. A lot of times we do it to ourselves, and we just don't realize it!!

Once you see it, you can't unsee it! Manipulation is all over the place, in almost every thing we do. People assert their influence, in various levels, to get what they want. However, it isn't always with bad intentions! We talk about a number of places where it occurs so that you can start spotting it when it happens!

Old Ways are your old patterns, things you can slip back into if you aren't careful! It can be as extreme as falling off the wagon in addiction or just falling back into a relationship with an ex simply because it is familiar. The important part is to learn to recognize when it is happening and work to correct it, so you don't get too far down the wrong path!!!

We don't know about you, but we can't read minds! If your partner can't read your mind, there is an easy solution...TELL THEM WHAT YOU'RE THINKING! I know, it's a novel concept, to actually communicate, but give it a shot, it gets easier the more you do it, and it will make for a stronger relationship.

There's a hump joke in here somewhere! Sex lives always seem to be a sticking point or something for people to complain about, but are they talking with their partners? From portrayal in entertainment to real life, people think they don't get it enough, some people weaponize it and we even talk about something called Sacrificial Sex (one of Norm's favorites). Spoiler alert, it all comes down to communication!!!
Music...
Yes, we all SPIRAL and get in our heads about shit, but WE DO IT TO OURSELVES! Rarely do your thoughts from a spiraling moment come true, but even if they do, why do you want to experience that over and over until it does come true?! We try to tell ourselves its to prepare for the impending doom, but that's unnecessary BS. Some preparation is ok and can be healthy, its the holding on to it and letting your thoughts and emotions go ...

What are your deal breakers in a relationship? Or when forming a relationship? If everything else is great, can they change or can some sort of compromise be made? It could be the key to your happiness and finding a long lasting relationship!

Words are important, in many ways, but we are talking about the hollow words that are not backed up by actions today. Integrity is everything, and when the words don't match the actions, you need to look at that and decide if it is serving you. Doesn't matter if it is a love relationship, a friendship or in a professional setting, the words are nothing without the follow through in actions!
The deep end of the pool can be scary, but going in head first and doing the Deep Dive is necessary to heal and move on, as well as learning the tools to help you with anything else that may pop up in the future! Come on in, the water is fine!
Well, are you?? Are you avoiding things you need to deal with by keeping your head stuck in the sand? Putting blinders on doesn't make the issues go away, it actually just makes it harder to deal with and take longer to correct and heal from whatever it is you are avoiding! Don't be an ostrich, be a proud peacock!!

Yes, we talk about a cookie ornament, but it is about the miscommunication we had via text, about the ornament! Taking the little bit of extra time when texting, emailing or posting on social media goes a long way to preventing a misunderstanding or even hurt feelings!
Do you need to mend the fences after a disagreement or falling out with a friend or family member? Hell no! It doesn't matter what anyone says you SHOULD do, it's about YOU and doing what's best for YOU! People don't always deserve a second chance, but if they do, it's when you are ready to allow them back in to your life.
We are talking about what it is when someone double's down on their BS and what it looks like, so that you can recognize it when it is happening! It doesn't always mean they are a bad person or just plain lying, but it's a pretty good indicator that something is up!

Bath Bomb is back! We discuss all of the couples, the good, the bad and especially the ugly! We felt it was a great season for learning about relationships and growth! If you haven't watched the season or have been living under a rock, there will be spoilers!
