Relationships Through the Looking Glass: Recent Episodes

Michelle Ronin and Guests

The podcast will take a look at how our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us impact how we relate to one another. With a male and female perspective from guests in different fields and life experiences, we aim to use real-world examples of how the looking glass self-theory has an impact on all relationships. We will address societal, cultural, and mental health concepts in everyday terms as we work towards personal growth that allows us to build authentic relationships and attract connections meant for us.

Here is a draft podcast description thanking listeners and signing off:

After over 100 episodes and 4 incredible years, the time has come to bring the Wonderland - Beyond The Looking Glass podcast to a close, at least for now.

When we started this podcast back in 2020, we never imagined the community and conversations it would create. We set out to have balanced talks, share some laughs, and impart relationship lessons, but it turned into so much more.

The open and thoughtful dialogue in each episode encouraged vulnerability, reflection, and growth not just for us, but for thousands of you listeners as well. Many of you have reached out over the years to share how an episode or concept profoundly shifted your perspective or improved your relationships. Know that you all have also left an indelible mark on us.

We are so grateful for every like, subscribe, review, and message. Thank you for welcoming us into your lives through your earbuds each week - it has been an honor. The connections, understandings, and wisdom forged here will stay with us well beyond this farewell.

While we may be signing off for now, remember that each ending opens the door for new beginnings. We hope you’ll carry the lessons from Wonderland with you moving forward and pay them forward. Perhaps our paths will cross again down the rabbit hole someday soon.

Until then, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you, and may you always be the main character in your story!

Having “the talk” to determine if you and your potential partner are on the same page about relationship hopes, expectations, and boundaries is crucial, yet often awkward. When is the optimal time to initiate this critical conversation before assumptions derail a promising connection’s growth?

This episode discusses how defining the relationship too hastily can activate avoidant behaviors. However, clear communication early on alleviates ambiguity about needs and compatibility.

This episode offers guidance on broaching topics like time spent together, integrating with friend groups, social media habits, expressions of intimacy, future goals, and unusual deal breakers.

While no magic formula exists, typically these talks happen once mutual care is established but before attachments form. Your unique pace and priorities should drive timing. We hope to provide advice on framing discussions in constructive ways that honor each person’s expectations.

Do you ever feel like new relationships accelerate from 0 to 60 before you even put on your seatbelt? One minute you’re in “just talking” territory, the next there’s a toothbrush at their place and they’re booked to meet your family at Christmas. Or does the pacing drag like molasses, plagued by ambiguity, hesitation and walls up high?

What defines healthy pacing when you’re getting to know someone new? How can you even tell in those critical early stages if this thing has the velocity to go the distance or will inevitably run out of fuel...or worse, crash and burn?

In this episode, we’re talking about the speed of new relationships. We’ll map the major milestones, discuss red and green flags for alignment potential, and teach you how to pump the brakes or hit the gas according to your own needs and compatibility. Relationships falter when we silence our authentic voices, so make sure you are using yours. Only you can dictate the right speed limits for your journey. Let’s make sure you end up safely at your desired destination.

Dating can be hard enough as it is. But when you also live with mental health struggles, it can bring added layers of complexity to an already tricky landscape. Whether it’s anxiety convincing you that you’re unlovable, depression sapping your energy to put yourself out there, or the stigma surrounding disorders keeping you guarded...how do you brave the dating world when your own mind puts up obstacles?

In this episode, we’ll hear from folks who have been there. Like many, they once saw their mental health status as a liability in finding love, but they’ve since learned how to approach dating in a healthy, empowering way. We’ll talk openness versus oversharing, setting boundaries, self-compassion, tuning into your needs, and other tips. While there are certainly challenges, you absolutely can date successfully while also prioritizing your mental wellbeing.

It’s about finding the balance between accepting your needs and believing you deserve fulfilment. There will be trial and error, but through communication, self-awareness, and showing yourself grace, dating can teach you invaluable lessons about resilience. You are SO much more than your diagnosis or struggles.

In this episode of Un:Scripted we welcome Ress and Ashley from the SheWolf Alchemy Podcast to discuss the importance of balancing masculine and feminine energy in our lives, both internally and externally. These lovely ladies join Michelle, Keisha, and Dani as we discuss the concept of masculine and feminine energy.

We explain how finding a balance between these energies is crucial for our overall well-being and the health of our relationships with ourselves and others. We also discuss how society often places a higher value on masculine energy, which can lead to an imbalance and suppression of our feminine qualities. However, the narrative of Black women being too masculine has caused an ongoing rift between men and women.

While discussing the highlight and importance of vulnerability and embracing our "soft" side we also explain that vulnerability while often seen as a weakness, it is a strength that allows us to connect with others on a deeper level and foster more meaningful relationships.

To smash or not to smash...that is the question. Is there a right or wrong way to enter into a sexual relationship? What about body count...does that still matter? How soon is too soon? So many questions...come listen to the answers. Learn who has a new nickname and who is "persistently" chasing butterflies...oh yeah, and a bit of Sunday school too. Another episode to get you talking; come join in on the conversation.

Be careful what you ask for...a phrase we all have heard once or twice. What happens when that "perfect" partner enters your life and is the answer to all your prayers? Screw it up right? What does self-sabotage look like? How do you stop doing it? Oh, and find out who the habitual line-crosser is...

This episode, much like all the Mad Hatter episodes, will be exploring some graphic stories and details that may be a trigger so please consider your own trauma stories and experiences when deciding to listen.

Mad as a Hatter. Do you know the story behind the phrase? The insanity behind the character? The phrase was used to describe someone who’s crazy or prone to unpredictable behavior.

Between the 18th and 19th centuries, hatters used Mercury in their creations. The Mercury poisoning resulted in what was believed to be insanity and chaotic behavior; thus, “Mad as a Hatter”, was born. The following stories are my picks for further discussion. How the impact of mental health, relationship challenges, and circumstances can lead to murder.

While it goes without saying that a mental health diagnosis does not create a murderer. However, in these cases, a diagnosis left untreated, the opportunity, and the right catalyst can create a monster.

Won’t you come with me as we enter Wonderland After Dark? Don’t worry, it won’t hurt.

Welcome to the "In-Betweens" a series of episodes in between Seasons 2 and 3. Anything goes and the topics will be lighter but just as educational and engaging.

This episode will discuss life lessons in relationships that we all wish we knew much sooner! We also take the time to speak to the author, Natasha Sattler. She is the author of the book "Shit Adults Never Taught Us". A one-stop shop for all things adulting! The one line description of her book is a SNAPSHOT REVIEW OF THE THINGS YOU DIDN’T LEARN IN SCHOOL – IN QUICK, HILARIOUS CHAPTERS. "Wouldn’t it be awesome if life had a manual? Not for your daily how-tos (like cooking or ironing) but for when the real shit pops up. The money shit we have no idea how to navigate, like negotiating a raise or buying a car. The relationship shit that slaps us in the face as we turn into full-fledged adults, like surviving a gut-wrenching breakup and having the courage to fall in love. The mind fucks that sneak into our brains after puberty like a ninja and set up camps of anxiety, loneliness, and regret. The life shit that somehow was completely ignored throughout more than a decade of schooling, like protecting your privacy online, traveling on any budget, and finding motivation when it seems impossible." (amazon.com)

The book can be found on most book-selling platforms to include Amazon, at this link!

Danielle Leverett-Gallaspy is a nonprofit founder, podcaster, certified psychometrist, credentialed victim's advocate, and former educator. After her niece, great-niece, and great-nephew were murdered in a domestic violence murder-suicide, Dani struggled with coming to terms of the past abuse she witnessed between her parents as a child and wondered if there was a connection.

In her journey to healing, Dani founded Our 3 Memorial Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)3 recognized nonprofit organization that is committed to creating safe spaces and situations for survivors of domestic abuse. In between creating programs and services for survivors, Dani can be found hosting her monthly podcast, My Survivor Voice, a platform for individuals of color to share stories of how they've survived various situations available on Apple, Google, and Spotify.

We discuss questions such as why is it important for people to understand what a trauma bond is, if there are external issues within the black community can increase the likelihood of a trauma bonded relationship, how culture sets up environments that support trauma bonds and if you can heal past a trauma bond.

This podcast will ask questions like; is unconditional love a real thing, are there things that you should “expect” in a relationship, did you have any examples growing up what “love” looked like in a relationship...what was that, and what type of example do you feel you are for younger people when they think of relationships?

She takes up the mic with Nicole, Marc, and Lashun to talk about the challenges in dating and different types of relationships.

We cover topics such as the importance of therapy, commitment or lack of it, and intimidation in relationships. A light-hearted conversation that covers real issues with real tips for real outcomes. Heads up... it ain't for the weak. You may hear things that may trigger you but at the end of the day, the knowledge will be something you can use as you move forward in building connections.
