Relationships, Friendships and Family Dynamics

Send us Fan Mail  We are dating in a time where everything is quick and fast. Relationships can become hot and heavy almost overnight, and before you know it, it’s over. That’s why it’s crucial to pause and ask important questions before entering a relationship. Yes, he takes you out every weekend and calls you regularly, which are good signs. However, it's important to slow down and discuss...

Send us Fan Mail Yes, I did self-abandon myself. The grief was unbearable. Losing my mommy and my furbaby back-to-back was painful, and for a while, I didn’t want to move forward. But in March, something in me began to change, something shifted. I believe it was my angels—my mom, my sister, and Lulu—guiding me. I made the decision to start living again, even with the pain still present. I understa...

Send us Fan Mail So, let’s talk about something that many of us don’t even realize we’re experiencing… self-abandonment. I don’t think we truly understand what self-abandonment really means. A lot of times, we believe that because we have a job, a place to live, and a car, that we’re doing just fine… that everything must be okay. But I say “okay” carefully… because sometimes that feeling of being...

Send us Fan Mail There is never just one side to a story. Every situation has layers and emotions behind it. I often say there are three stories — one person’s side, the other person’s side, and the truth somewhere in between. Yet even then, there is still another layer, another story waiting to be told. The more we listen and try to understand, the more we see that stories are complicated, and th...

Send us Fan Mail It's all about our childhood experiences and what we see. We see our parents, friends, and teachers, and we see this fairytale in our minds, not the trials and tribulations. These early impressions shape our expectations and beliefs, sometimes setting us up for disappointment when reality doesn’t match the storybook in our minds.  https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Suppor...

Send us Fan Mail We are all working through something, but the key is to keep striving for your goals. I say goals, but most of us are doing what we are passionate about in our lives, and that's the fun part!  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Sadly, it took my own grieving process to give me a clearer picture of who I should cut out of my friendship circle. I have to laugh at this because I had to distant myself from all of them. I think before my grieving process, I didn’t care as much, if you call every day, speaking only of yourself. I would just say she needs so much attention, and put it on the lack of affection y...

Send us Fan Mail In this podcast, I talk about how some people stay in a marriage until they can't handle it anymore. I explore the idea that we all have multiple soul mates in this life. I even talk about having multiple husbands if it comes to that, and more.  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Watch out for the nontalker when you are beginning to put yourself out there to meet and date. It says a lot, and I’m not talking about his communication style.  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail A little more in-depth on this topic, like why men secretly prefer to date the so-called 'difficult woman'. We all know by now she's a woman with high standards!  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail When you start letting things slide in a relationship, that’s often when he stops showing up as a man — as a gentleman—because now you’re simply going along with everything. It’s important to maintain your standards so he can hold himself to them as well. I believe many relationships begin to break down when we start allowing things we once wouldn’t accept, and over time, that can...

Send us Fan Mail In today’s podcast, I started discussing what I believe is one of the worst types of betrayal and ended up revealing a personal secret about myself. We all have secrets, and perhaps in a future episode, I’ll share more of mine. While some of my secrets may not seem troubling to others, they represent moments in my life that I wanted to change in order to achieve a happier existenc...

Send us Fan Mail In this podcast, we will discuss the difference between needing a relationship and desiring one. We sometimes get confused about the two meanings, so let's talk about what it means to need or desire one.  https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail In this podcast, I got the question of what makes a woman a great lover in a relationship, and I'm here to answer that! I think you all want to embarrass me! I'm not shy! Anyway, I put in a few things I like to do in a relationship https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail I received quite a few responses from my previous podcast. Some listeners feel that I might be misreading the situation, and I understand that perspective. However, it’s also possible that some of you may not want to recognize the full picture of where you truly stand in someone's life. We can't keep lying to ourselves by saying that people are just busy, that things wil...

Send us Fan Mail On today’s podcast, I want to discuss something that made me reflect on the nature of friendship. Recently, I overheard someone I was with talking to another friend. She often refers to this other woman as a “close friend,” but what I heard in their conversation suggested a very different dynamic than how she usually describes their relationship. https://www.instagram.com/traceyla...

Send us Fan Mail Ladies, let’s be honest—sometimes we sabotage a first date by trying too hard to appear perfect. Instead of being our authentic selves, we morph into someone else entirely—a version of ourselves that we barely recognize. In today’s episode, we’ll discuss why it’s important to let go of the perfectionist act and embrace who we truly are. By doing so, we may increase our chances of...

Send us Fan Mail Standards are important because they help us protect ourselves and make better choices about the people we allow into our lives. Our standards constantly remind us that we deserve to be treated with respect. It also prevents us from having one-sided friendships or intimate relationships with partners who aren't right for us. I feel that by prioritizing ourselves and maintaini...

Send us Fan Mail A friend went out on a date and was told she's too much of a mom. I don't agree with that at all, but I will say, don't lose yourself!  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail We’re still saying yes to every date, as I mentioned in the previous podcast. And we’re still keeping our standards high. We know what we want, and we’re standing on it. So yes, we’ll go out with you — but if you’re not the right one, we’ll keep dating until the right one comes along. Because we’re perfectly fine enjoying our own company — even if that means finding peace in a par...

Send us Fan Mail When someone says, "Meet them where they are," it may sound mature to some, but I view it differently. To me, it suggests taking a back seat and remaining quiet, lowering your expectations, shrinking your standards, ignoring red flags, accepting less effort, and staying comfortable in a situation that isn’t growing. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail I have come to the conclusion that healing on our own isn’t always effective. Sometimes, we need a distraction to keep our minds engaged. I understand that some of you may not agree with this perspective, and I respect that completely. However, I encourage you to listen to the entire episode and share your thoughts with me. As promised, Lady Bird Lake will be in my stories and on...
