Let's Talk About Love: Recent Episodes
Sophia B
Romantic relationships are all over media--in movies, romance novels, kids' fairytales, and even in reality shows like the Bachelor or Love Island. But one thing that all of these depictions have in common is that they only show the process of falling in love. But what happens after we fall in love? What turns infatuation into love? What turns a summer fling into a lifelong partnership?
Join our host, Sophia, on her journey of pursuing answers to these questions as she interviews people who might have some interesting answers to share! Instagram: letstalkaboutlovepod
Hi listeners! I am back from my application-hibernation. It's been a wild two months. I apologize dearly for my absence, but boy am I happy to be back! On this week's episode, I am in rare form: I'm actually mad about something! In particular, Leah is back on the pod to discuss a case of infidelity that was recently experienced by a friend of mine. All identities are hidden, and I just ask that you respect their privacy beyond what I consensually share on the podcast. We also get into the role that spirituality and religion play in marriage, particularly from a Catholic perspective. Thanks for listening, and as always, if you have any thoughts, questions, or concerns, shoot us a DM or an email! XX

Hi lovely listeners! In today's (long over-due) episode, we talk all about the temperament trait of Sensory Processing Sensitivity and what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP, for short). In addition, we discuss the scientific evidence that exists about whether HSPs might be more vulnerable to experiencing symptoms of PTSD. If you are interested in reading more about the relationship between SPS and trauma, here is the link to my undergraduate thesis: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wg8M2nQPTlRm957Nwy8u-jzi5_y9QzBN/view?usp=sharing
Here is the link to Elaine Aron's Highly Sensitive Person website: https://hsperson.com/
Link to the HSP Scale Test: https://hsperson.com/test/highly-sensitive-test/
Info about Highly Sensitive Children: https://hsperson.com/books/the-highly-sensitive-child/
And finally, a fantastic book relevant for this podcast is The Highly Sensitive Person In Love by Elaine Aron, PhD., which talks all about experiences and coping skills in relationships that might be unique to HSPs . She also wrote The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You, which is also a great read. Happy listening!
Hello lovely listeners! So sorry it's been so long since I released an episode... if you want an explanation as to why, go ahead and give the intro a listen! This week, I brought in our first anonymous speaker to talk to us all about her experience with relationships, of course--particularly infidelity in a long-term relationship. Listen on in to get the scoop!

In this episode, we continue our interview with Leah that we started in E7. Make sure you go back and listen to it if you haven't already! Leah continues her story about her relationships up to the present, and we talk about some loaded stuff: Whether you have to small-talk in order to start a relationship, how unconscious patterns can play out in our relationships, and about how gender and sexuality are a lot more complex and fluid than society at present allows. Listen in for all the juicy deets!

Welcome back! This episode is the first half of my interview with my dear friend Leah. Leah has some interesting life experiences to share with you all, and we cover a wide range of topics from Catholicism vs. sexuality to attachment wounds to conformity (or, rather, aggressive non-conformity...). It's a good one! Check in next week for the second half of this interview (it's a good one!). And don't forget to share this podcast on Instagram if you like it--it helps a lot!

In this episode, Sophie talks all about narcissism: Narcissistic Personality Disorder vs. narcissistic behavior, how narcissism can develop, what it looks like in adults, and how it can impact romantic relationships. Make sure to listen to this one before Episode 5 comes out! And if you haven't listened to Episode 3 on Attachment Theory too, that may help provide some context for this episode. Happy listening!

In this episode, we start a series on fundamental relationship psychology concepts with my personal favorite topic: Attachment Theory! We talk about the history of Attachment Theory, what exactly it is, and how it impacts our adult romantic relationships. Apologies in advance for any weird audio things happening--we're still figuring out how to optimize audio as we go and this episode was a bit hectic on the production end of things. As always, feel free to email us with any questions or comments about the show!

Welcome back to Episode 2 of Let’s Talk About Love! Today I invited the lovely and hilarious Matthew, aka my partner, to talk about his own relationship experiences and how he’s grown from them. We also talk a bit about our own relationship, because I can’t be a hypocrite and ask other people about their relationships without talking about mine first, right? Bonus: Tangents about existential crises and what it’s like to be an awkward middle schooler going from homeschool to… actual school. Fun stuff!

Why did I start a podcast about relationships, you might ask? Well, I've had a lot of interesting relationship experiences, and I think they explain a lot about why I started this podcast in the first place. So in this episode, I do just that: I fill you guys in on my own past relationships and how they have shaped my worldview. I hope you enjoy!
