You want the man to lead but you also love being ambitious and paving your own way?This episode is for youThe pair get into: Tom's relationship with Maria: a deep dive into the emotional highs and lows that ultimately led them to choose not to marry.

It’s been a hot minute…. Because I disappeared. And things have been dark AF.

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.

Everyone’s talking about hormones, am I right? You know when you think you're living your best life, and then one day everything comes crashing down so hard that you have to stop and really reflect on what brought you here? That’s exactly what happened to neuro-nutritionist, Kacy Shea - and initially she had no idea it was connected to her hormones. In this incredibly poignant episode, Kacy gets up, close and personal with Louise about how her seemingly perfect life was disrupted when she got sicker than she ever thought possible, forcing her to embark on a deep healing journey through imbalanced hormones and burnout. As a neuro-nutritionist, she knew what to do next. Having turned her life around, Kacy sits down with Louise to discuss: The dopamine-centric lifestyle we find ourselves in. The subtle nudges your body gives to signal issues. The power of hormone testing and blood chemistry. The jaw-dropping test reports that changed Kacy’s life. The epidemic of emotional suppression. The psychosomatic approach to healing. Dietary and nutritional facts that everyone should know. And the power of small, sustainable changes. Inspirational and insightful, this episode will take you on an uplifting journey that’s going to CHANGE your life and help you get to your THRIVING state - all while learning about hormones - something that everyone talks about but very few people discuss the specifics of!-----Ready to learn how to level up your life via your nervous system and subconscious mind in just 9 weeks? ⭐Join the There She Glows Waitlist⭐: https://www.thisisopenhouse.com/how-to-rewire-your-subconscious-mind Join OPENHOUSE PREMIUM now at: https://openhouse.supercast.com/Connect with Kacy Shea on Instagram: theneuronutritionist and iamkacysheaConnect with Louise on Instagram: @iamlouiserumballFollow Louise (The Therapy Girl) on TikTok: @thetherapygirl__Connect with OPENHOUSE on Instagram: @theopenhousepodcastVibe With Me by Joakim Karud http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarudMusic promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/-7YDBIGCXs Learn more about your ad choices.

Basically, mad fantasy bonding. And this episode? It's to help you understand that you're not alone and you’re not going crazy- you're actually probably experiencing something called limerence. Limerence is an intense, all-consuming longing for someone, even if they don't feel the same way or you barely know them. And guess what? It's deeply biological. That's the part no one talks about.Today, in one of our most requested episodes, Louise chats with Biology of Trauma and Nervous System Expert Sarah Murphy as the pair gets into: The cocktail of hormones fueling our obsessive thoughts and tendencies. What’s happening in our bodies when we fantasize about that special someone. Why we feel lovesick and chase chemistry? The link between low self esteem and fantasy bonding. The root cause of a dysregulated nervous system.  Why life feels boring without a chaotic relationship. Louise’s daily routine for a regulated nervous system.  The magic of somatic healing practices. They also tell you HOW to navigate and alleviate this state and how to help your biology from obsessing over that one person you just can't stop thinking about. -----Ready to learn how to level up your life via your nervous system and subconscious mind in just 9 weeks? ⭐Join the There She Glows Waitlist⭐: https://www.thisisopenhouse.com/how-to-rewire-your-subconscious-mind Join OPENHOUSE PREMIUM now at: https://openhouse.supercast.com/Connect with Sarah Murpy on Instagram: @thepotentplant Connect with Louise on Instagram: @iamlouiserumballFollow Louise (The Therapy Girl) on TikTok: @thetherapygirl__Connect with OPENHOUSE on Instagram: @theopenhousepodcastVibe With Me by Joakim Karud http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarudMusic promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/-7YDBIGCXs Learn more about your ad choices.
