Healing Honeys (formerly OPENHOUSE with Louise Rumball) – Details, episodes & analysis

It’s been a hot minute…. Because I disappeared. And things have been dark AF. Today, I’m opening up about why I disappeared, took an unexpected hiatus from the pod for the first time in 2.5 years and I share about the intense, emotional journey I’ve been on. We’ll rewind to when I was in the best shape of my life—mentally, physically, and spiritually—and how everything took a sudden turn, leading me into adrenal fatigue, burnout, loneliness, and a deep freeze state of depression in my nervous system.  I also chat my best friend being on Love Is Blind, my travel plans and more. ⭐ [REDEEM YOUR FREE TRIAL] The SOMATIC GLOW UP with Louise Rumball ⭐https://www.thisisopenhouse.com/daily-devotion With our Daily Devotion monthly membership, complete just one somatic healing practice a day to revolutionize your relationship with yourself and others.

Well, this story is kinda crazy. And what's even crazier? Sometimes we keep bad behavior hidden, secret, and behind closed doors, and it's only when we start to talk about it that we can finally admit that IT WAS NOT OKAY.  This week, Louise shares a wild story about her ex and *THAT* thing he did in Marbella. She explores why we accept bad behavior, why we justify it as love, and how, once we start healing, we start to see it for what it truly is—unacceptable. Louise chats through the crazy story and its connection to: Our childhood. Our nervous system. Familial patterns (and how these don't always make sense). Low self-esteem, self-respect, and self-worth. And so much more! Join us in this deeply personal and vulnerable episode as Louise recounts heart-wrenching incidents from probably the most toxic relationship of her life, how it opened the doors to her healing journey, and what light at the end of the tunnel of a “passionate” (read: abusive) relationship looks like in the form of five hard-hitting lessons she learned in therapy. 🆘 Trigger Warning: This episode contains references to relationship abuse. 🆘 ⭐The entire catalog of BONUS PODCAST EPISODES will be added to the Daily Devotion Portal later this week⭐ Real talk, honest conversations, and stories that make you think—welcome to The Healing Honeys.

Celibacy gets a bad rap, are we right? This week, Louise jumps into the Bumble controversy to reverse ANY sort of shame you might be feeling about your own dating and celibacy decisions after that tone deaf ad. Because, you know what, sometimes a man ban is actually the PERFECT answer. And us women? We’ve had enough of being told what to do for as long as we can remember. And if you don’t wanna date, hook up, sleep with anyone? You do you honey boo! Don’t let a billboard shame you. After a hot take intro where you get Louise all to yourself, Louise revives a past episode with Jordan Jeppe, shadow work guide and celibacy expert. Join Louise & Jordan for a real-talk girl episode as they: Share their personal journeys with celibacy- one intentional, the other with a side of naughtiness.  Debunk common misconceptions about celibacy (yes, you can still date!). Explore how our shadow influences dating patterns. Discuss the game-changing impact of setting boundaries and intentions in the dating stage. Give us all the juicy details on navigating celibacy even while dating. Unpack the concept of a 'sexual pause'.  The pair’s raw, honest conversation will demystify the assumptions around celibacy and help you see it as a path to self-discovery, empowerment, and the best sex of your life!

In this OPENHOUSE Submission, Dr. Tari Mack, clinical psychologist, breaks down a question submitted to the OPENHOUSE Hotline around whether someone’s husband is just ‘hard work’ and that’s why her friends don’t like him or whether his behaviour is actually emotional abuse and leaning into narcissistic behavior and traits.  The person explains that there have been a number of issues around being rude to her, belittling and demeaning her, flirting with other people, borrowing and repaying money, and more.  Louise Rumball & Dr. Tari Mack look at: ⇢ The difference between one off behavioural incidents and repeating patterns ⇢The warning signs of an emotionally abusive relationship and how to avoid falling for one  ⇢ Why violence in a relationship does not have to be just physical ⇢ The connection between money, showing off and some forms of narcissism  ⇢ How your relationship & marriage can impact your children long before you realize it ⇢ Why narcissistic behavior, emotional abuse and manipulation often get overlooked Recommended listening: Episode 47 - NARCISSISM - Did I spend years of my life with a narcissist or was he just a really sh*t person?

In this episode of Girl Talk, Louise and Monica meet in Tulum and record the episode *together* to discuss the things that people aren't talking about online - sex, pleasure, libidos, sex lives and, more importantly, the reality of sex that no one talks about.  In a world of everyone else looking perfect, it’s easy to get sucked into the belief that everyone is having the best sex of their life, constantly. The truth? That’s just not true.  The pair discuss:  ⇢The truths about sex that no one is talking about ⇢Louise’s recent experience with dengue fever & how it impacted her sex life ⇢Pressure to sleep together, pressure-to-orgasm and how to relieve this pressure (and the impact it has on your body) ⇢How your environment can impact your nervous system and your libido ⇢Sexual blueprints & the different ‘types’ of sex we can enjoy ⇢How FIFA, gaming & stress can get in the way of your sex drive And more.

Louise & Dr Tari jump on a quick OPENHOUSE HOTLINE episode to answer a submission about a guy who's behaviour has been confusing, unclear and misleading since a listener first started dating, interacting and sleeping with him. The episode takes an interesting turn when Dr Tari starts to talk more about the listener, than the guy in question. Dr Tari talks focuses the episode talking about the concepts of intentional dating, communication, pacing, boundaries and more and helps shift our perspective on a situation that so many of us have experienced before. Louise shares her personal experience with a similar situation, as well as the concepts of: ⇢Why silence drives a cycle of 'pick me, choose me' ⇢Why stupid games lead to stupid relationships ⇢Why the cool girl needs to die  ⇢How communication can alleviate the likelihood of pain, rejection and ghosting  ⇢Why you don't 'have to test the sex before investing in them' And more. There are also multiple features from an OPENHOUSE guest - a very noisy cat. Other recommended listening episodes:  ⇢Episode 11 & 29 - unconscious attraction & how childhood drives adulthood ⇢Episode 30 - pacing  ⇢Episode 22 - getting over ghosting Welcome home!  Real talk, honest conversations, and stories that make you think—welcome to The Healing Honeys.

She asks the team: ⇢ *HOW* did this situation happen? ⇢ How did she get so brainwashed? ⇢ What sort of man (or woman) entertains a long term affair? ⇢ Why and how does this person have so much power over her?; and ⇢ Where does she go from here?
