The Five Love Languages, 10 Years Later 💔 Are They Still Relevant in Modern Relationships? | Life Points with Ronda

It’s been over a decade since Dr. Gary Chapman’s Five Love Languages changed the way we talk about relationships — but in 2025, are they still relevant? In this powerful and emotionally charged episode of Life Points with Ronda, licensed relationship counselor and spiritual coach Ronda takes you deep into the truth about how we love, why we misunderstand each other, and what it really takes to stay connected in modern relationships. 💞
Join Ronda as she breaks down how many couples misinterpret their partner’s emotional language — “I said my love language was Words of Affirmation, but he just buys me gifts!” — and explores how trauma, healing, technology, and emotional evolution have transformed the way we express affection. From the rise of the sixth love language (Emotional Presence) to learning how to “update” your emotional connection over time, this episode reveals what it means to truly understand and be understood in love.
This isn’t your average self-help talk — this is soul work. Through real-life reflections, powerful emotional insight, and spiritual depth, Ronda reminds us that love isn’t a formula; it’s a lifelong language we must keep relearning. Whether you’re in a relationship, healing from one, or preparing to love again, this episode will shift how you listen, how you show up, and how you love. 🌹
🕊️ In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why many couples think they’re loving right but keep missing the mark.
How your love language evolves with growth and healing.
The truth about “Emotional Presence” in the digital age.
Why real connection requires translation, not perfection.
How to re-learn your partner’s language with compassion and curiosity.
🎧 Tune in now to rediscover love through a modern lens — one that’s honest, evolving, and spiritually aware.

Authority Corrupted: The Shocking Allegations Against Judge James B. Gosnell Jr.

What happens when the very people entrusted to uphold justice betray it in the most disturbing of ways? In this episode of Life Points with Ronda, we confront the shocking case of Judge James B. Gosnell Jr., a South Carolina magistrate once cloaked in authority, now shackled in disgrace.
From the disturbing allegations of child sexual abuse material found in his possession, to his history of using racial slurs and controversial statements during the Dylann Roof hearings, this story forces us to examine not only the fall of one man but the deeper cracks within our institutions.
We’ll explore:
How Gosnell’s bail was denied and why it matters.
His long history of controversy and betrayal of public trust.
The devastating implications for the cases he presided over.
The bigger picture: how many more “wolves in sheep’s clothing” are hiding in positions of power?
This episode is not just about one judge—it’s about accountability, vigilance, and the urgent responsibility we all share to protect our communities and our children.
Subscribe, share, and join the conversation. Because justice doesn’t end in the courtroom—it begins with us.

“A Voice the World Needs: Reflections on Shahid Bolsen and the Middle Nation”

In this episode of Life Points with Ronda, I share my reflections on one of the most powerful voices I’ve encountered on YouTube — Brother Shahid Bolsen of the Middle Nation channel. His fearless commentary has challenged me to think deeper about issues that shape our world: from the containment of Black History Month, to racism as the divided psyche of the West, to the false promises of artificial intelligence, to the truth that whoever disrupts a system controls it.
I also explore his recent commentary on the death of Charlie Kirk — not to honor Kirk, but to highlight how Shahid exposed the exploitation of public tragedy, the hypocrisy of selective mourning, and the disturbing reality that even free speech is being censored when it offends power. His reminder that three other lives were lost that same day, and that over 1,800 people had already died this year to date, puts everything into perspective.
This episode is also my personal thank you to Shahid Bolsen. If you’re listening anywhere in the world, I encourage you to check out Middle Nation on YouTube. I have never joined anyone’s channel membership before, but his is one I will be supporting — because his voice, his clarity, and his courage are undeniable.
Tune in for a raw, honest, and deeply reflective conversation about truth, disruption, and the power of voices that refuse to be silenced.

“The Celeste Rivas Tragedy: Missing Teen, Celebrity Ties, and Unanswered Questions”

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses the death of a missing teenager, alleged exploitation, and disturbing circumstances surrounding her discovery. Please listen with care.
In this episode of Life Points with Ronda, we honor the life of Celeste Rivas and unpack the heartbreaking details of her disappearance and discovery. Celeste went missing in April 2024, and more than a year later, her body was found in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to rising music artist David Anthony Burke, known as d4vd.
We break down:
What is confirmed by law enforcement and media reports.
What is alleged and rumored — tattoos, lyrics, and relationship claims.
What feels suspicious and raises red flags.
The systemic failures when children are labeled “runaways.”
Why due process still matters, and why the family deserves clarity.
This is not about sensationalism. It’s about truth, accountability, and remembering Celeste’s name.

“Charlie Kirk Assassination in Utah: Political Violence, Racism, and America’s Breaking Point”

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses political violence and the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. Please listen with care, as some details may be disturbing.
In this deeply reflective episode of Life Points with Ronda, we examine the shocking events at Utah Valley University where Charlie Kirk was gunned down during an outdoor event. From the immediate chaos under the tent to the national and international fallout, we unpack how this moment forces America to confront the dangers of political violence.
As a Black woman, I share my perspective on the contradictions between Kirk’s words in life and the empathy shown after his death. We explore media framing, societal polarization, community responses, and the broader lessons about safety, democracy, and healing in a time of profound division.
This is not an episode about politics — it is about humanity, loss, and the urgent need for unity in a fractured nation.

The Forgotten Victim: Honoring Iryna Zarutska Beyond the Headlines

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses violence, trauma, and systemic failure surrounding the tragic death of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
In this extended episode of Life Points with Ronda, we honor the life of Iryna Zarutska — a young Ukrainian refugee whose dreams were cut short in a senseless act of violence on a Charlotte train. This is not just a story about loss; it is a story about empathy, responsibility, and the systems that failed her.
We walk through her humanity beyond the headlines, the failure of public transit safety, the silence of bystanders, the cracks in our mental health system, and the political reactions that followed. More importantly, we ask: what does this tragedy reveal about who we are as a society, and what must change so that no other life is stolen in the same way?
This is an episode about remembering Iryna, about courage, and about refusing to look away. Together, we explore how justice must mean more than punishment — it must mean prevention, reform, and a renewed commitment to the collective human bond.

"Not Just a Bad Example — A Predator in Disguise"

Title: Not Just a Bad Example — A Predator in Disguise
⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses child endangerment, stalking, emotional abuse, and parental betrayal. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
What happens when the greatest betrayal doesn’t come from a stranger, but from your own mother? Netflix’s Unknown Number: The High School Catfish isn’t just another cyberbullying documentary—it’s a chilling story of trust shattered, trauma weaponized, and boundaries destroyed.
In this explosive episode of Life Points with Ronda, I dive deep into the disturbing case of Kendra Licari, a mother who stalked her own daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend for more than a year. We’ll unpack the shocking truth behind the catfishing, explore why I believe her actions cross the line into predatory behavior, and confront the uncomfortable reality of parents who compete with or sabotage their own children.
This isn’t about bashing her parenting—it’s about naming the betrayal for what it is. Because when trauma becomes an excuse to harm, and when society softens the language to protect the wrong person, it’s the child who carries the scars.
🔥 Join the Conversation:
Do you agree this behavior should be labeled predatory?
How do we balance compassion for trauma with accountability for harm?
Where do you draw the line between empathy and enabling?

Explicit Content: Injustice and Anger Over Candon Dahle's Plea Deal & Sentence

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses child abuse, judicial misconduct, and contains strong language. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
A young survivor stood in court and bravely told the truth: she was harmed starting at just 7 years old, for five long years. And yet, former BYU baseball pitcher Candon Dahle walked away with only 180 days in jail, probation, community service, and no sex offender registration — all signed off by Judge Steven Boyce.
This is not justice. This is a betrayal.
In this explicit, unfiltered episode of Life Points with Ronda, I break down the case in full detail, amplify the survivor’s powerful voice, and call out the privilege and systemic failures that allow predators to walk free while survivors carry a lifetime of trauma.
This is not just outrage — this is a call to action. Survivors deserve better. Communities deserve better. And we cannot, we will not, be silent.
