Real Love Is Not Silent with Vanessa Molina - Ep. 221
In this episode of Becoming Her, host Nikki sits down with Vanessa Molina, a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, for one of the most honest, practical conversations we've had on this show. They go deep — on faith in relationships, the communication mistakes couples keep making without realizing it, what EMDR therapy actually is (and why it hits different than talk therapy), and why some of the most well-intentioned moms might be accidentally working against their kids' growth. Vanessa shares real tools she uses in session: soft start-ups for healthier conflict, a counterintuitive homework assignment she gives couples that actually builds connection, and the hard truth about setting boundaries — even when the people around you push back. If you've ever felt like you're on survival mode in your relationships — this episode gives you the language and the tools to start doing it differently. In this episode: Why faith can be a powerful foundation in relationships — and what happens at both extremes The one communication shift (soft start-ups) that stops conflict before it escalates Why Vanessa assigns couples 15 minutes of arguing per day — and why it works What EMDR is, how it works, and why it's changing trauma healing How to set boundaries with family when they don't like it — and what to do when the boundary gets crossed What it means to "clean your side of the street" in a relationship Why over-protecting your kids from adversity backfires — and what resilience actually looks like Why real love is not silent Connect with Vanessa: Coral Gables Counseling Center | Telehealth & In-Person Sessions Available Services: Couples Therapy | Family Therapy | Trauma (EMDR) | Anxiety | Depression | OCD Connect with Nikkiwww.nikkispo.com @nikkisappspo / @wearebecoming_her Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Friendship Recession and Its Solution with Jourdann Lubliner. Ep. 214
The Friendship Recession and Its Solution with Jourdann Lubliner. Ep. 214 Welcome back to Becoming: HER - this week’s guest is Jourdann Lubliner — founder & CEO of the newly-launched app and community for couples: Doubles Social. Jourdann has built a platform aimed at intentional connection between couples, helping them build friendships and explore their cities together.But while her app is a fascinating vehicle, today’s episode is about a deeper cultural shift: the changing nature of friendship, connection, and community. According to recent research, the percentage of U.S. adults who report having 10 or more close friends has dropped from about 33 % in 1990 to just 13 % today which a recent piece from Harvard’s Leadership & Happiness Laboratory has called a “Friendship Recession,” meaning not just less time with friends, but a fundamental erosion of the ability to form, maintain, and prioritise friendships. Friendships have been paramount in my life so this is a topic I’m really interested in. Tune in to find out more!
