Decoding Modern Love, Dating Apps & Situationships | Ekta Dixit x Karishma Mehta | EP 30

Listen to this episode from Humans of Bombay Show on Spotify. “Ever wondered why we react so differently to the same situations in a relationship? Attachment styles – anxious, avoidant, and secure – are one of the factors that determine how we operate in our relationships and life. Someone with an anxious attachment style may be needy and keep feeling anxious; someone with an avoidant attachment style may shut down in difficult situations and those with a secure attachment style may be more understanding. These attachment styles stem from how we were raised as children, and indicate how we’d behave in our day-to-day exchanges with people.” When it comes to navigating the complexities of relationships, Ekta Dixit, a relationship coach, is a beacon of light, passionately guiding individuals on the journey of self-discovery and growth, ultimately leading to fulfilling relationships. By creating content on love, childhood traumas, and healthy and toxic patterns in relationships, among several other topics, she offers eye-opening insights that initiate conversations and even help people cultivate a deeper understanding of their relationships. Delve into a conversation that’s all about love! Ekta shares her insights and expertise on varied topics—from the definition of love to how it has evolved, from the ‘orange peel’ theory to ghosting and how to deal with it, and lots more. Ekta also decoded some modern millennial slang for us, and we had fun talking about red, green, and the gazillion-colored flags there are! #humansofbombay #relationships #podcast TIME STAMPS: (00:00)-Precap (01:00)-Welcome (01:45)-Let’s start with love… (02:15)-How does a relationship coach define love?
