Episode 116: Man-Child / Kid at Heart – Admiring or Adult Wanted? w/ Brigid

“Why don’t you GROW UP?” “GET A JOB!” “Do something with yourSELF!” We’ve all heard THAT before right? To some, those exclamations remind us of our adolescence when our parents were down our throats about our future. To others, however, it reminds us of last week – but this with our significant others! In this episode we talk about the difference between a man child and a kid heart. Is there a difference or should they just both put on their adult pants. Are the significant others out of line? Should the men be allowed to have a fun side? You know what they say “all work and no play…”  But what do YOU say? Would you tolerate a man child or would you leave him in the dust in his diapers? Tune in to see what we said!

Episode 109: Naked & Afraid – How Do We Date & Mate In a #MeToo World? w/ Sexologist & Psychotherapist Dr. Kristie Overstreet

From Ansari to “I’m Sorry”, there’s been a range of the good, the bad, and the ugly pertaining to the #MeToo Movement. The one thing lacking is sort of a “rules and regulations” to the conversation. How do we date in a #Metoo world? How do we touch/make love to a suitor? Can we still mimic what they do in the movies or is that outdated? Can a person be “too” careful enough to ruin the mood? No one wants to make anyone uncomfortable so how do we go about interacting with someone in a romantic manner? We got a returning guest to hopefully help us make sense of this new world we live in. Tune in to see what we came up with! 

Episode 108: So Close Yet So Far – The Dating and Distance Dilemma w/ Brigid

Have you ever dated someone only to find that they’re juuust out of reach? Not mentally out of reach, or even physically – but geographically. We’re not even talking long distance either. Maybe a bridge away or a couple tolls, or how about even a hour away. Yes, as the saying goes “what won’t you do for love”, but we’re not being lazy here! Going back and forth seeing someone who may live in a metropolitan area while you may be “in the sticks” is a daunting venture in the world of dating. Time & money are at an all time high when dealing with these parameters. So is it worth depleting your resources for this person, or should you just find someone with the same zip code? Tune in as we talk this out with our guest! 

Episode 97: He Said, She Said & the Gray Area of Consent w/ Miss April Speaks

Rape. Regret. Consent. Coerce. Harass. Her ass. Misconduct. Misunderstood. Yes. NO. #MeToo. Men too. These words have been on the forefront of every blog, news ticker, morning radio show, and internet timeline for the past 5 months. We thought it was time for us to give in our own 2 cents on the matter. Join us as we discuss the serious matters of Today the only way BedLoveBeyond knows how: with Laughter, Listening, and of course Learning. Tune in as we try to tackle and make sense of what’s going on in today’s climate together. 

Episode 95: Seeing Eye to Eye to “I Do” – Does Your Parent’s Vision of a Partner Match Your Own?

“No one is good enough for my daughter!” “I’m not gonna let some floosie take away my son!” YIKES! Have you come across statements like that in your life? These might be exaggerated but unfortunately they DO exist in some form or another. If you’re thinking about being in relationship (or already in one), there might be a chance that your parents won’t like your significant other. They might have had someone totally different in mind for you. So what do you do with that? Do you try to find someone that suits their wishes for you? Or do you just go with your gut and let your heart decide? Could there be a chance that your parent’s vision for a partner can match your own? Tune in to see what we think on the matter! 

5 Years.

Today marks 5 years since the day that my ex-fiancé broke up with me. The date is not something that I keep track of, but it’s not exactly something that I can forget either.

Episode 90: Going Out On the Prowl w/ “The Bad Boy of the Dating Game” Mr. Locario

Confidence. Game. SWAG. In the dating game, you’re gonna need any one of those aforementioned words if you’re gonna make it out there in the field. It’s bad out there, and in this age of social media and dating apps, gaining a person’s attention is getting harder and harder each day. How do you make yourself stand out? How do you keep the person you have once you got got them? How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? We have a special guest to help us out with our questions (okay, maybe not the last one). So tune in and listen as there are a lot of mic drops on this episode – particularly cause I’m clumsy – but ALSO because our guest is dropping some KNOWLEDGE up in this place!
