Everyone was talking about Sabrina and Steven, and today, I sit down with Steven, one of my closest friends and the star of Love Is Blind UK. We dive into what it’s really like to have your love life—and heartbreak—put on blast for the world to dissect. Steven opens up about the brutal realities of reality TV, the emotional toll of internet trolls, and the raw truth that men, too, can be left feeling shattered after breakups. He discusses his shock at the reunion, the pain of re-watching himself fall in love on TV, and why he stayed silent while others created their own versions of the story. He shares how he uses daily tools to stay calm, grounded, and mostly anxiety-free—and how he’s evolving, just like everyone else.🤍 FOLLOW LOUISE 🤍https://www.instagram.com/iamlouiserumball/https://www.tiktok.com/@louiserumballxxhttps://www.instagram.com/theopenhousepodcast/🤍 FOLLOW STEVEN 🤍https://www.instagram.com/stvnsmthy/?hl=en ✨ FREE HEALING RESOURCES: ✨ → Free 14 day trial of Daily Devotion (Somatic Healing): HERE→ Free Podcast Pathways: HEREVibe With Me by Joakim Karud http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarudMusic promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/-7YDBIGCXs Learn more about your ad choices.

Well, this story is kinda crazy. And what's even crazier? Sometimes we keep bad behavior hidden, secret, and behind closed doors, and it's only when we start to talk about it that we can finally admit that IT WAS NOT OKAY. This week, Louise shares a wild story about her ex and *THAT* thing he did in Marbella. She explores why we accept bad behavior, why we justify it as love, and how, once we start healing, we start to see it for what it truly is—unacceptable. Louise chats through the crazy story and its connection to: Our childhood. Our nervous system. Familial patterns (and how these don't always make sense). Low self-esteem, self-respect, and self-worth. And so much more!Join us in this deeply personal and vulnerable episode as Louise recounts heart-wrenching incidents from probably the most toxic relationship of her life, how it opened the doors to her healing journey, and what light at the end of the tunnel of a “passionate” (read: abusive) relationship looks like in the form of five hard-hitting lessons she learned in therapy.🆘 Trigger Warning: This episode contains references to relationship abuse. 🆘⭐The entire catalog of BONUS PODCAST EPISODES will be added to the Daily Devotion Portal later this week⭐-----Connect with Louise on Instagram: @iamlouiserumballFollow Louise on TikTok: @louiserumballxxConnect with OPENHOUSE on Instagram: @theopenhousepodcastStart your real somatic healing journey: https://daily-devotion.vhx.tv/ National Domestic Abuse Helpline (UK) Phone: 0808 2000 247National Domestic Violence Hotline (US) Phone: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)Vibe With Me by Joakim Karud http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarudMusic promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/-7YDBIGCXs Learn more about your ad choices.
