  • Acceptance. We all crave it and it makes us feel good. But it feels extra special when it comes at a time in need and from someone who you immediately fancy and this was the case when Sacha met Jay.

    But the thing about acceptance is that when you have it, it’s something you’re scared to lose. Even if what originally felt so good, starts to feel isolating and….off. And what once felt safe, feels very, very scary.

  • The power of the sisterhood. Isn’t it glorious? Female friendships can really be the true, Great Loves of our lives. Lucy certainly felt it with her bestie, Holly.

    The best thing about a girlfriend? They’re there through everything. The good times and the bad, all the hurt and the heartbreaks. Unless of course, they’re the one who caused them.

  • Age differences. Do they really mean anything? You’re only as old as the person you feel, age is but a number, etc etc etc. It doesn’t matter when you’re in love, right? That was the case for Carly. She’ll be the first person to tell you age doesn’t mean a damn thing when you find your One. But whether age is the problem or not, some love stories just don’t end the way we plan.

  • A heads up: this episode deals with serious themes including domestic violence, coercive control and suicide. Listener discretion is advised.

    We always hear how great a relationship is when it begins. Why else would it, right? There’s butterflies, late nights staying up talking, a sense of belonging, desire and comfort. Having that one person to plan life with and who’s just desperate to have you around all the time.

    But what about when that desperation becomes too much and starts looking and feeling more like … control? And then that control becomes worrying .. and scary … and dangerous?

  • Words. Some say they’re the most powerful tool we have as humans. Words have the ability to portray thoughts and emotions, share stories, convey feelings and make people feel loved.

    But when something holds power, it can go both ways. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me? Bull.

    Some words can not just hurt - they can change the course of someone’s entire life.

  • Online dating. We've all heard a story - good or bad. It’s the way of the world now. You log on, upload your best pics, think of a few witty pickup lines and get swiping. And if you're lucky, you won’t be swiping too long, because the perfect person is right there at the tap of a button - without having to even leave the couch.

    But how well can you really know someone before you’ve actually met them? How can you trust everything they’re telling you? Where they say they live, what their job is, or their true intentions?

  • The blindside. A simple term, but it can mean so much. It comes in many forms. There’s of course the good sort, where the unexpected is a welcome, happy surprise.

    But, it can be a bad thing too. And For Sarah, there were other things she didn’t see coming. That other type of blindside that only other people experience. One that turns a seemingly dreamy life together, into a complete nightmare.

  • The trick to mastering manifestation is to speak what you seek until you see what you’ve said. And when the universe not only listens, but delivers, it is a truly powerful thing, which was exactly the case, for Jess.

    But what is more powerful than manifestation at its best, dear listener? It’s that little thing called gut feeling. When everything seems perfect, but your intuition suggests otherwise. Sometimes it’s subtle, but other times it raises an internal alarm that cannot be ignored

    And a heads up this episode mentions sexual and domestic violence - if you or someone you know needs help you can call 1800 RESPECT the national domestic, family and sexual violence counselling, information and support service.

  • Young love. Remember that?! Meeting someone at your part time hospo job where you’re together every night, you start making eyes at each other and one thing leads to another - soon, you’re spending the night at their family home and having dinner with their parents. Well that’s exactly how Emily met Josh.

    And when you meet so young, it really only goes one of two ways. You either grow up and apart, or you grow together. Like Emily and Josh. After seven years, they knew each other like the back of their own hands and trusted each other implicitly. At not even 30 years old, life was only just beginning. Or was it more a case of it being the beginning of the end?

  • The age of online dating. It certainly has its ups and downs. Sure, it takes away a bit of that face-to-face connection you’d get meeting someone at a bar. But it also means you don’t have to be in the same bar as someone to meet them. There’s a whole world full of options right at your fingertips. And it allowed Sophie to meet Stelios.

    And it’s a normal way to meet someone. Gone are the days of being concerned about creeps lurking in dark rooms on their keyboards, or embarrassment about connecting with someone through a screen. These days, you know who people are when you speak to them online...don’t you?

  • They say love is blind, but do we ever really listen? Because in those first precious moments with a new love, where you’re sharing stories, trading secrets and talking for hours on end, you truly think there’s nothing that will shake that unbreakable bond. And that was the case for Rachel and Ben.

    But dear listener, no matter how many hours you spend talking, or how many truths be told, can you ever really truly know someone? Because some parts will always remain hidden…sometimes in deep, dark corners….and sometimes, in plain sight, just waiting to be found.

  • Love bombing. We’ve all heard of it. When, right at the start of a relationship, one party bombs the other with so much love, attention and romance, the other just can’t resist.

    And for Stella, there was even an added layer that it came from her high school sweetheart.

    But while those seemingly innocent gestures may make you feel warm and sparkly in the beginning, there’s nothing innocent about them at all. That love and attention turns into control and manipulation…and the romance, into gaslighting and abuse.

    CONTENT WARNING: This episode deals with drug use, mental ill health and domestic abuse and may be triggering for some listeners. If you or someone you know needs support, please call 1800RESPECT - 1800 737 732. You can also visit their website at https://1800respect.org.au/

  • Urban Myths. A story or statement that is not true, but is often repeated and believed by many. Some people believe the idea of a soul mate to be one of these urban myths. That there’s one person on this planet meant for each of us. Well according to Steve, this concept was as real as they come.

    But what about that other urban myth….you know the one where you put a frog in a pot of water and when you gradually heat it, the frog will stay there, not realising it’s getting hot until it boils to death. Small changes that build up to big ones and by that stage, you just don’t know how to get out…

  • America. The land of the free. There’s always been an unofficial rite of passage for single Aussie twenty-somethings to live it up in the country that rom-coms and Sex & The City made oh-so-appealing. But as the age old story goes, isn’t it always the way that when you plan on being single, the universe has other ideas.

    But the thing about stories is that they can take on many forms. And sometimes, what may start out as a love story, can oh so suddenly, turn into a ghost story.

  • We all know the old saying “when you know, you know”- that when you find your soulmate the love grows steadily and organically, there’s no drama and things are just….easy. Well that was the textbook romance of Ali and Jules.

    And when you embark on a life together filled with big dreams and endless possibilities, in the back of your mind you always know there will be challenges along the way. Most of those challenges are small and insignificant, but then you get one…just one, that is so cruel and unexpected, your world changes in an instant.

  • A question for you Dear Listeners, Can men and women….just be friends? It’s a debate as old as time. And in any new relationship, a male best friend can be a bone of contention, which was exactly the case for Emily and Ben….when it came to Emily’s best mate, Chris.

    But isn’t the main argument FOR men and women being friends that if they wanted to be together, they would be? Ben had nothing to worry about. Emily and Chris were just the best of friends. Emily loved Ben and she would never lie to him….would she?

  • Relationships can teach us a lot. Where our bar sits, how we want to be treated, what we’re into and what we’re not. But it’s often when a relationship fails we learn even more. Sam found that out the hard way.

    So you should be able to take those lessons into the next relationship, learning from past mistakes and being more confident in what you want. Right?

    But anyone who’s had an ex knows that’s often easier said than done…

  • Did you know, dear listeners, there was - not that long ago - a time before the internet? Before people met on Tinder or e-harmony, or sliding into each other’s DMs. A time when two people actually met in person before deciding if they wanted to be together! Well it was way back then when Luke met and fell in love, with Lucy.

    But of course then the internet did come along, bringing new ways to connect, new ways to explore the world and new ways of finding out what’s really going on behind closed doors.

  • Some couples just have it all, don’t they? The house, the dog, the two beautiful children and an amazing, close friendship group to share it all with.

    But of course, any relationship has its moments over time. People can become complacent, find themselves bored of the day-to-day, sometimes, one of them may even stray. But a little bump in the road in an otherwise happy and fulfilling life together was something Sally thought she and husband Dave could surely overcome…or so she thought.
