Why Arguments Repeat in Relationships (And How to Break the Pattern) – Dr. Tracy Dalgleish

Dating Habits That Follow You Into Marriage

In this episode, I talk with dating and relationship coach Erika Ettin, founder of A Little Nudge, who has spent over a decade helping people navigate modern dating with clarity and intention. Together we talk about why online dating feels so overwhelming, how to stop confusing oversharing with vulnerability, what red flags actually are versus what we just don't like, and why the relationship you're in while dating is the same one you'll be in when you're married. Whether you're single, dating, or years into a marriage, this conversation will challenge the way you think about love, habits, and the patterns you may not even know you're carrying.Follow Erika on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alittlenudge/Follow Ced on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ced/Check out the Household: https://the-household.circle.so/join-the-householdMusic by: https://www.instagram.com/christianahmed_/

Arthur Brooks On Success Addiction, The Science Of Falling In Love, and Building A Happy Life

One year in and I wanted to bring back one of my favorites to celebrate. When I first sat down with Dr. Arthur Brooks, Harvard professor and bestselling author, I had no idea how much this conversation would shape the direction of this podcast. A year later, it's still one of my favorites and I knew I had to bring it back. We get into what happiness actually is versus what we've been told it is, why the people who chase success the hardest are often the least equipped to receive love, and the idea that we're all dealt a hand of cards at birth and what we choose to do with them is everything. We also talk about the science of falling in love, why your brain is literally working against your happiness, and what it actually takes to build a life you're proud of.
