Relationships, Friendships and Family Dynamics

Send us Fan Mail People often give their power to a lover, a friend, or a family member whom they believe is trustworthy and become disappointed when things go wrong. However, the biggest problem is that they invest too much time in the disappointment. Remember, this person was just a person; they didn't exhibit special powers. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail It really depends on how you decide to handle this breakup and whether it will affect you emotionally. I discussed this in Season Five, mentioning how my college friend let her breakup destroy her life. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes, we can blame a zillion things we feel are wrong with our relationship. But ask yourself if it's really bad. Or is it us and the pressure we have put on ourselves? Did we start the relationship out by not being ourselves? https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail I sometimes see this happening, and I definitely have my own thoughts about it. It's becoming more and more common in relationships. The situation is such that a woman moves in with a guy and ends up helping him pay for his place. However, her name isn't on the deed or lease, so she's essentially vulnerable. Also, I see women pouring so much into a guy. They're...

Send us Fan Mail I hear women and some men say they don't have to define their romantic relationships because they are grown, and each party knows where they stand. So, let's talk about this new-age decision not to say what we are to each other in this new day.  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Sorry guys, I tried, I really did. Please forgive, but I know you all have the most forgiving hearts. Thank you all for that.  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Life is about balance. Sometimes, we go too far to the left or right. But many of us do, and then we are stressed looking for that perfect balance. Also, after I taped this podcast, I received a message from Chicago with a waving hand. I was so appreciative that I hopped back on the podcast to say hi!  https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail A man who earns his keep is a man who, through his actions, will earn your trust. It's time to hand the wheel back to the man and return to the old days of chivalry. It's time to embrace femininity once again. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Ladies, you are the only person who can care for yourself to the highest level. You are the keeper of your heart and your mental well-being. You should never hand your heart, your safety, and your well-being to anyone, and I mean anyone. I don't care if you found the love of your life. You are still the keeper of yourself. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the sh...

Send us Fan Mail Hey, I started out by talking about working remotely and having a social life. Let us just say this is a chatty podcast.  https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Ladies, it's about time to start dating real men and stop giving these boys who aspire to be men a chance to date you. You are wasting valuable time making excuses for them when they don't fulfill your expectations. The truth is, they don't know how to be men; they are just little boys trying to act like men. What probably happened to them is that some woman spoiled...

Send us Fan Mail Having uncomfortable conversations is important for building any relationship. Ignoring discomfort won't make things better. It might seem like it benefits both of you, but it really doesn't. I tell you this for sure: it's causing you a great deal of stress. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail I appreciate you all for reaching out and sending encouraging words for my Lulu. It's not the outcome I wanted, but reading the love you all had for her and the prayers you prayed for her touched many in many ways .  Thank you  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Sorry guys, there will not be a podcast this week. My Lulu became very sick and is in the hospital. Will be back on schedule next week.  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Dealing with a man-child can be quite a challenge, especially within personal relationships. It's akin to engaging in arguments with a child, except it's a grown man who likely perceives no fault in his behavior. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail While at Target, I witnessed a girl bullying her friend, and I took it upon myself to confront the bully. It is disheartening to see this kind of mean-spirited behavior become so prevalent. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Many of us begin relationships by being attracted to someone, but as we get to know them better, our feelings may change. Is it best to end the relationship, or should we continue, hoping to revive the initial spark? However, is it fair to either person to stay in a relationship if the feelings have faded? https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail What are your thoughts??  Support the show

Send us Fan Mail I hear many people debating who should pay when meeting an online person for the first time, especially if they live out of state. This topic sparks a lot of discussion because meeting face-to-face introduces new dynamics to the relationship. There's uncertainty about whether the person will match the image you've built of them in your mind and if you'll have the sa...

Send us Fan Mail Here are some suggestions to help you move forward after a breakup instead of just feeling sad and lost. My goal is for you to heal from this experience but also to grow and become a better version of yourself. I hope that you find a new sense of self-worth and confidence that will prevent you from losing yourself in the next relationship.   https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/...

Send us Fan Mail I watched the first episode of Baby Reindeer on Netflix. It got me thinking about how so many women go through breakups and decide to take a break from everyone, and most of the time, we never hear from them again.   https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail I've been hearing a lot about the games that people play on online dating sites, so I decided to sign up and experience it myself. Of course, I did some detective work to find out who I was really talking to, and to my surprise, I found something unexpected. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail This kind of relationship is like a rollercoaster ride. Sometimes, everything feels great and exciting, and other times, you're left feeling unsure about where you stand.  https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail A man's financial stability is crucial in any relationship. He should strive to be a provider and protector, and he should want to be these things. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/ Support the show

Send us Fan Mail It's important not to limit yourself to just one person when you're looking for a romantic connection. Keeping your options open allows you to explore a wider range of potential matches and increases your chances of finding someone who shares your interests and values. Taking a chance on just one person may not work out and could lead to a breakup, so it's best to k...
