We are Believers: Podcast

Welcome to 2021!  

As we say goodbye to an incredibly eventful year, let’s discuss some of the lessons we learned in 2020 and how we can apply them to 2021 and beyond…

Were there only troubles or can you see some good things that happened in 2020? We certainly can!

Let us help you recognize and appreciate some of the positive aspects of 2020 for each of us as individuals and maybe even for humanity as a whole...

Can we choose to love someone?In this episode, we ask: Is love a feeling or choice? In trying to find an answer, we share our fairly strong and different points of view.

Throughout our conversation,
We examine the theory of one person who believes that love (or more specifically, being open to love) is always our choice.
We discussed the role of love in an abusive relationship...

“Does a man have to pay on a first date?”

People on the street were asked this question by actors from a popular German comedy show but the answers they received in the actual segment were not nearly as interesting as comments under the video.

One man had such a particularly grandiose justification of his position that we had no choice but to devote an entire episode to giving our take on his premise...

Imagine yourself deep in love.

You might want to tell your partner  "I love you" every 10 minutes to make sure that they know how you feel about them. You want them to have absolutely no doubt about being loved.

It's not quite realistic, is it?

Your partner might even think you're crazy.  But how else would you show your love?

Some people come home every day with flowers and gifts. Some cook exquisite dinner meals to please their other half...

We have touched upon the importance of communication and open dialogue in quite a few of our past episodes.  In this episode, we decided to talk about it specifically and so we invited a professional linguist, Professor Tiffany Dyson (@tiffetzjiff) to inform the conversation.

Tiffany shares some of the knowledge she has gained about communication through the language research in which she is involved as well as through her personal life experiences and travels...

"Hey, Daria, what's going on with you and Hollis?”

“Are you dating Hollis?”

“No?”

“Why not?”

“It is not possible that there’s nothing going on.”

“After all, you met on Tinder!”

You are a man and a woman!

Clearly, you are deceiving yourselves and do not want to recognize the attraction between you!"

And on it goes......

Wow! Thank you all for the huge response and great feedback to our previous episode "Blitz Round #1: Answering some OkCupid Questions."

We received many words of encouragement and gratitude for this Blitz-Round format. Almost everyone seemed to enjoy it, so obviously with approval and support like that, we will surely keep it going.

But along with this, it seems that some people were particularly struck by Daria's statement that she doesn’t need a “nice” man around her...

In this episode, we have replied to and discussed some of matching questions from the OkCupid dating app.

Listen to our answers to some of these questions and topics including:

1. How many dates do you wait to have sex with someone that you’re interested in?
2. Do you believe that you are more intelligent then most of the people around you?
3. Do you find intelligence more sexually appealing then physical beauty?
4...

Do people really evaluate us based solely upon our appearance? 

Are we treated differently by others when we don’t appear to fit their description of “normal”? 

Could it be that this often negatively interpreted thought is most often rooted within our own minds?

In this episode, we welcome our very first guest: Tattoo artist Ina Bond (www.instagram.com/inabond)...

Almost every day, we compare ourselves to other people. Often we take someone as an example of what we think we should be. We want to be able have what they have or do what they do.  And very often, we become upset or jealous because we are not as beautiful, successful, or happy as someone else seems to be...
