You open up. You try to get closer. But the more you reach out… the more they pull away. They need space. You need reassurance. And suddenly, what should be a relationship—feels more like a chase. You overthink every message. Every pause. Every “I’m fine” that doesn’t feel fine at all. And deep down, you wonder: “Is it me? Am I too much? Or not enough?” This is what it feels like to live with an anxious attachment style—especially when you're in a relationship with someone emotionally avoidant. The connection feels real… but so does the pain. And the confusion. And the exhaustion.

How do we think from first principles? On the surface, Afford Anything seems like a podcast about money and investing. But under the hood, this is a show about how to think critically, recognize our behavioral blind spots, and make smarter choices. We’re into the psychology of money, and we love metacognition: thinking about how to think. In some episodes, we interview world-class experts: professors, ...

Indoctrinated to believe that the outside world was evil, and that I resided among the righteous, I was destined to marry a man chosen for me by the Prophet.

Flora goes on from there to tell the dramatic true story of how she ultimately escaped and has been rescuing women and children from the FLDS.

Christians know that daily Scripture reading is an essential spiritual discipline. But sometimes opening the Bible day in and day out can feel like a burden rather than the joy and gift that it is. Spending even a few minutes reflecting on the truths found within God's word can strengthen your faith, help you resist sin, and inspire you to live for the eternal, unshakable kingdom of God. In the Everyday Gospel devotional, Paul David Tripp provides a roadmap for listeners who want to spend a full year in God's word.

Having gained self-awareness while still in my mother's belly, I realized that this was my chance. Being born was the first step.

This being a magical world, and with lots of smart tech, too, I'd catch up in no time, wouldn't I?

Another crucial reason time management is so vital is juggling job, personal life, and other obligations. An excessive load makes many individuals unable to find time for family, leisure, and personal hobbies. Relationships and personal well-being usually deteriorate when work takes up much of the day. Good time management enables people to designate enough time for job, leisure, and personal growth, thereby promoting a balanced and happy existence. Separating business from personal life guarantees that neither is overlooked.
