Calm Talks

Welcome to Calm Talks, the podcast dedicated to helping you discover a life of peace and progression, one calm talk at a time.
Continuing on from last week's episode, we take the relationship discussion one level further and explore the crucial topic of identifying warning signs before making a commitment. Join us as we uncover five red flags that you may have overlooked in either yourself or in a romantic partner.

• Red Flag 1: Regulation Rejection

Your ability to regulate strong emotions and communicate calmly allows a safe space for your partner and enables trust to form between two people. Listen in to discover what it means to emotionally regulate.

• Red Flag 2: The Poker Player

Revealing your cards allows for vulnerability, and in doing so, forms a stronger connection. In this segment, we discuss how the Poker Player can lead to insecure attachments.

• Red Flag 3: Too Selfless, Too Selfish

Finding the balance between being "too selfless" and "too selfish" is the sweet spot. Discover what the balance is when determining "red flag" behavior.

• Red Flag 4: No Account of Accountability

A healthy relationship is one where both you and your partner are accountable. Learn what this means and how taking no account of accountability doesn't allow for a healthy dynamic in a relationship.

• Red Flag 5: Valuing Validation

We all need validation, but at what point is there too much emphasis on it? Discover what healthy validation is, and what to look out for before committing.
Join us on Calm Talks as we explore these five warning signs to look out for before committing. Through insightful discussions and practical advice, we aim to empower you with the tools and knowledge to create lasting and meaningful connections in your life.
