  • You're Not Alone: The Truth About Mental Health and Social Media

    You're Not Alone: The Truth About Mental Health and Social Media
    2025/10/28
    In this honest and grounding episode, we break down the truth behind social media perfection, emotional isolation, and why your struggles are more normal—and meaningful—than you think.In this value-packed episode, we cover:* Why social media creates a false sense of perfection—and how it distorts our mental health (01:05)* The hidden exhaustion of pretending we’re “fine” when we’re not (03:12)* How childhood conditioning teaches us to bury emotions instead of express them (05:45)* The deep shame we carry for struggling—and why that shame is actually the cage (08:50)* The hidden reason so many of us rely on alcohol, medication, shopping, and other coping behaviors (11:20)* Why life feels so lonely—even when we’re surrounded by people (13:30)* The powerful lesson behind John Candy’s life—and the beauty of seeing someone fully (15:45)* Why we’re starving for authenticity in a world full of performance (18:20)* How pain acts as a teacher that pushes us into alignment, not a punishment (20:50)* Why challenges are essential for meaning, growth, and fulfillment (23:10)* The belief shift that stops you from feeling alone in your struggle (25:55)And much more…Connect with Nick:📙Follow Nick on Substack🪷 Explore The Relationships With A Soul Brand💻Visit Nick’s WebsiteKey Lessons From This Episode:Lesson 1: Perfection Is a Performance — Not RealitySocial media tricks our minds into believing perfection is normal.We compare our messy, real lives to someone’s carefully curated highlight reel, and it creates a silent shame.Authenticity isn’t loud; perfection is usually a mask.When you remember this, the pressure to “have it all together” starts to dissolve.People aren’t perfect — they’re performing.Lesson 2: Emotional Suppression Starts in ChildhoodFrom a young age, we’re taught not to cry, complain, or express frustration.That conditioning becomes the voice that tells us:“Don’t feel that.”“Don’t be dramatic.”“Hide it.”As adults, we apologize for being human — because we were never taught how to feel safely.Suppressing emotions doesn’t make you stronger. It makes you disconnected.Lesson 3: Coping Behaviors Are Messages, Not Moral FailuresAlcohol, shopping, substances, overworking, endless scrolling — these are emotional regulation tools.Rather than judging them, it’s more helpful to ask:What pain am I soothing? What feeling am I avoiding?When you identify the root, the behavior loses its power.We normalize coping so we can avoid confronting what hurts.Lesson 4: Loneliness Comes From Performance, Not IsolationYou can be surrounded by people and still feel alone.Why?Because nobody’s saying what’s real.We perform at work, at home, online — then go home and fall apart privately.Connection can only exist where truth is allowed to exist.We feel alone because we’re hiding the parts that would actually connect us.Lesson 5: Pain Is a Teacher — Not a PunishmentLife’s challenges force growth, resilience, and meaning.Without struggle, life would feel empty and directionless.Pain reveals where we’re out of alignment — it’s guidance, not punishment.Leaning into it helps your soul evolve.The universe communicates through discomfort.Lesson 6: Authenticity Creates Real BelongingBeing authentic does not mean having life figured out.It means being willing to be seen in the mess.When you share your truth, others recognize their own — and connection happens.You stop feeling like an outsider in your own life.Our struggles connect us far more than our highlight reels ever will.Lesson 7: Everyone Has a Battle You Can’t SeeThe people who look the strongest are often carrying the most.Celebrities, comedians, leaders — pain doesn’t discriminate.Recognizing this removes comparison, envy, and shame.We’re all human — and that’s the point.When we see the whole person, we finally see ourselves.Lesson 8: Acceptance Makes You Feel Less AloneWhen you accept that challenges are a shared human pattern,you stop assuming something’s wrong with you.Life becomes less about survival and more about learning.Acceptance is freedom.Your struggle doesn’t make you an outsider — it makes you human.Enjoyed This Episode?

  • How to Start Your Self-Improvement Journey (A Beginner's Guide to Inner Work)

    How to Start Your Self-Improvement Journey (A Beginner's Guide to Inner Work)
    2025/10/21
    In this soul-centered episode, I explore how to rebuild self-trust, release numbing habits, and begin your healing journey from the inside out.In this value-packed episode, I cover:* The real meaning of “doing the inner work” — and why most people don’t know where to start (01:40)* How to identify the habits that quietly drain your energy and block self-connection (03:20)* Why you cling to habits that hurt you — and the two core fears that keep you stuck (07:00)* How to stop waiting for a crisis and start changing from self-respect instead of desperation (09:45)* The surprising power of support groups and coaches in building lasting change (10:40)* The small lifestyle shifts that completely transform your mind, energy, and self-trust (13:10)* Why instant gratification destroys long-term growth — and how to build patience again (16:00)* How to make self-improvement sustainable by focusing on one simple change at a time (18:00)* The belief shift that turns self-care into self-respect and builds unshakable inner peace (19:45)And much more…Connect with Nick:📙Follow Nick on Substack🪷 Explore The Relationships With A Soul Brand💻Visit Nick’s WebsiteKey Lessons From This Episode:Lesson 1: Awareness Comes Before ActionMost people want to “fix” themselves before they’ve even paused to understand what’s really going on inside.The first step isn’t doing more — it’s getting honest about your habits, distractions, and emotional triggers.When you can name what’s holding you back, you take back your power to change it.“You’re feeling the way you’re feeling for a reason. Your body is trying to tell you something.”Lesson 2: Your Habits Are Messages, Not MistakesBad habits aren’t failures — they’re forms of self-protection. They were created to soothe pain or avoid fear.Once you understand why you do them, you can meet that need in a healthier way.This is how growth happens without shame — by replacing avoidance with awareness.“You don’t need to wait for rock bottom to change. You can choose self-respect instead of desperation.”Lesson 3: You Don’t Have To Heal AloneSelf-improvement isn’t a solo sport.Having a coach, mentor, or accountability group helps you stay grounded and supported when things get uncomfortable.Accepting help doesn’t make you weak — it keeps you consistent.“Accepting help isn’t weakness. It’s a gift.”Lesson 4: Small Shifts Create Big ChangeTransformation doesn’t come from overhauling your entire life overnight.It comes from small, consistent actions — one better choice, one boundary, one honest conversation at a time.Even within a week, your energy starts to shift when you treat yourself better.“Those changes you thought would be boring become the moments you look forward to.”Lesson 5: Be Patient — Growth Takes TimeIn a world trained for instant gratification, real self-work can feel slow.But lasting peace, fulfillment, and self-trust take the same time they always have — steady, intentional effort.If two months of deep work can give you decades of freedom, that’s not sacrifice — it’s liberation.“If it takes two months to feel like your authentic self for the next twenty years, what’s not worth it about that?”Enjoyed This Episode?

  • Why We Can't Take Care Of Ourselves

    Why We Can't Take Care Of Ourselves
    2025/10/14
    Learn More About Your Host: Nick Neve*New Episodes Release Weekly*Welcome to Relationships With a Soul* — I’m Nick, and this podcast is about learning to connect, not just with others, but with the deepest parts of yourself.In the world we live in, most connections stay on the surface, we go deeper — into what it truly means to feel seen, supported, and safe.Each week, we’ll talk about healing old patterns, setting boundaries, and building the kind of relationships that start with self-trust and ripple outward into every part of your life.Real fulfillment isn’t about having more — it’s about becoming more of who you really are, surrounded by connections that feel true.I’ve spent over two decades studying human behavior, spirituality, and connection — experimenting, failing, healing, and documenting what truly works. These episodes are here to help you grow through that same process with compassion, curiosity, and courage.If you’re ready to stop chasing love and start becoming it, you’re in the right place. Let’s get into today’s episode.*short disclaimer there is some language in this episode. If kids are around, please be mindful.EP: 37 Why We Can’t Take Care Of OurselvesBy now most of us have heard of the expression “Take Care Of Yourself”. We all understand the English of what this means. It even sounds great to the ears. But why doesn’t it stick? Why do we hear these words and then revert right back to old patterns of burnout, people pleasing, self-sabotage, and other forms of destruction.As someone whose been at rock bottom, barely able to get out of bed, and also someone who has abused his mind and body for most of his life, I’m proud to say that I no longer treat myself that way.How did I get over that hump finally?I came to fully grasp the reason why we just don’t take care of ourselves and in this episode I’m going to break it down for you. I’ll also outline the enormous benefits that happen once you finally DO take care of yourself. I guarantee that you can’t see them right now otherwise, you would immediately take the plunge and wouldn’t look back.So what’s stopping you from self-care?You are gridlocked in the “fight, flight, or freeze” response. Maybe you’ve heard this before but do you really know why it has so much power over you?It’s because you live in a world that hopes and preys on trapping you there and keeping you there.When you’re stuck in this state, you feel like you’re not enough, you’re not worthy, you need to do more, be more— to finally feel ok with yourself.This is the main message that society spreads to everyoneYou can’t stop until you’ve done “this”. You can’t finally relax until you’ve become “that”. And then what happens when you finally achieve that level?The bar gets silently raised and you’re trapped all over again.Like an animal that’s being threatened, your senses are always up. You’re dangerously overstimulated, which makes it impossible to sit down, process things at a logical level, and asks the REAL questions that will reward you with what you truly want.You’re so far into fight or flight, that thinking about changing anything at all brings about massive fear, and since you’re already at maximum, how could you possibly handle another thing on top of that heavy load you already carry. This is the way the mind works.Not to mention, the change being asked of you is a change you’re unfamiliar with, a change that is often less stimulating than what you’re currently used to. So that makes it seem boring, useless, like a real waste of time. It’s part of the reason why it’s so hard for you to allow this to happen in your life.I used to live in this state.Before my feet would even hit the floor in the morning I’d reach over to my nightstand and pick up my phone. Scanning my emails, the stock market, text messages, and social media. Secretly praying for something to set me off. Positive or negative, it didn’t matter. I just wanted to feel “alive”. but in doing that every morning I didn’t realize that it was disrupting my peace, my equilibrium, my nervous system. My ability to concentrate, or have any chance at discipline whatsoever.But the worst part?I was giving control of my mood and feelings to whatever I saw on the screen. If it was positive, I would have a great day, if it was negative, I was doomed before the clock even hit 9am.More often than not, the news was negative or unfulfilling and before my day even started, my energy plummeted, I felt like a failure, all because I gave control of my life to outside forces that were never in my control to begin with.Sure it was exciting in the moment to get that hit of dopamine.But the cost of that was MASSIVE. The cost was basically gambling my entire day. And it was almost always dissatisfying. The house always wins.The danger of living this way is that you remain in a constant state of fight, flight or freeze and ...
