Hosted by Maria Shkreli, LMHC, author of Breaking Cycles and Breaking Up with Toxicity, the podcast explores the messy, complicated, and very human side of life — from unhealthy relationship patterns and family dynamics to workplace stress, life transitions, emotional reactions, and the cycles that quietly shape us. Some episodes are educational. Some are conversational. Some may challenge the way you see yourself, your relationships, or the people around you. Because the truth is… we all have patterns. Some help us grow. Some quietly keep us stuck. Through real conversations, psychological insight, personal reflection, and a little bit of spice, Maria helps listeners better understand the patterns they repeat, the emotional experiences they normalize, and how to navigate life with greater awareness, clarity, and emotional health. No perfection. No pretending. Just real conversations about life, relationships, and breaking unhealthy cycles.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-06T02:20:47.981511+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/breaking-up-with-toxicity-6618238"},"episode":{"title":"EP 6: Aspects of Borderline Personality Disorder, Part 2: Men, women, children, and misdiagnoses in men","slug":"ep-6-aspects-of-borderline-personality-disorder-part-2-men-women-children-and-misdiagnoses-in-men","published_at":"2023-11-22T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/breaking-up-with-toxicity-6618238/ep-6-aspects-of-borderline-personality-disorder-part-2-men-women-children-and-misdiagnoses-in-men","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/breaking-up-with-toxicity-6618238","url":"https://breaking-up-with-toxicity.captivate.fm","audio_url":"https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/5ff932d4-a1e1-4922-8a43-321cf57b58fb/BUWT-EP-6-Made-with-Clipchamp-1-converted.mp3","summary":"In today's show, Maria picks up from Episode 5 and provides a breakdown comparison discussion on the often overlooked aspects of borderline personality disorder, specifically in men and women, highlighting the differences in their experiences and the challenges they face.
