Bedtalks Relationship Podcast Ep. 3 – The Lustful Truth About Love

Posted on April 8, 2019April 16, 2019 by Elizabeth Overstreet

In this episode of Bedtalks, we focus on lust and love and how the two intermingle. Differentiating between lust and love is hard in the beginning. Desire can be intense at the onset of a relationship, often making it difficult to recognize true feelings versus infatuation or a physical desire for someone. But lust and love have separate definitions. Love is defined as having an intense deep feeling of affection for someone. Lust is having a strong sexual desire for someone. But the two may coexist in a relationship which is why it's important to be able to differentiate...

5 Powerful Lessons Losing Can Teach You

Posted on March 16, 2019March 12, 2019 by Elizabeth Overstreet

I have been watching a new documentary on Netflix called Losers. It showcases individuals who were extremely talented, worked hard at their craft for many years and while sustaining some level of success, missed out on winning what would have put them at the peak of their aspirations. We often focus on winners, but we don’t focus on the journey of losses, often times significant ones, that these individuals experienced along the way. One friend of mine would often say to me that you will get a 1,000 no’s before you get a yes and while the number is extreme, I think this metaphor has some trut...

What happens when we choose to stay in a toxic relationship? What if you are married to a toxic person? How do you know if you should get a divorce?

How do we fall into toxic relationships? What are the tell-tale signs of a toxic relationship? How do we stop the toxic cycle? No one purposely seeks out a toxic partner. Often, we’re mysteriously drawn to them. Things are exciting and passionate in the beginning, but little by little we sense something is off. Often, we blame ourselves. If we could just do everything right for our partner, the relationship would be okay. Unfortunately, this is not usually the case. The first thing to look at is yourself. What you attract correlates with where you are mentally, emotionally, and s...
