In this episode, we dig into why the “right” advice doesn’t always land — even when it could fix everything. Sometimes we’re not ready. Sometimes we’re too deep in the mess to hear it. And sometimes the learning we need can only happen inside the chaos, not outside of it.

We also talk about the frustration of watching someone we love struggle, offering them the exact wisdom that could change their life… only to have it bounce right off. Then later, someone else says the same thing in a different way, and suddenly it clicks.

This conversation is a reminder that timing matters, readiness matters, and the mess itself is often the teacher.

Imagine it's Christmas Eve, a time to create cherished memories with family. However, a woman finds herself at the laundromat, convinced that this chore is essential, while her children are at home, eagerly waiting to open gifts. This seemingly harmless decision is a classic example of self-sabotage, where we prioritize trivial tasks over meaningful moments, inadvertently hindering our happiness and personal growth.

✨ Podcast Description ✨

The holidays can bring joy, but they can also highlight the moments when you and your spouse aren't perfectly aligned. In My Holiday Alignment Special, we explore how to navigate those differences with grace. Instead of falling into criticism or frustration, this episode encourages respectful conversations that honor each other's ideas, desires, and traditions.

Whether it's deciding how to celebrate, what gifts to give, or simply how to spend your time, alignment doesn't always mean agreement—and that's okay. Tune in for practical insights on creating connection, fostering understanding, and keeping the season filled with kindness and respect.

Welcome to B-S Your Way Through Life — where we get real about connection, not just chemistry. Today I'm joined by Todd Sarner, a psychotherapist and parenting expert who helps high-achieving parents turn everyday tension into trust. Through his Transformative Parenting Process, Todd shows families how to shift from control to connection, even when things get messy. If you've ever felt like you 'know better' but still struggle in the moment, this one's for you.

in this episode, we talk about the importance of not saying it. Sometimes we need to have a conversation because it can help better our marriage, but we need to make sure that when we do we are in the spirit of love and openness and not criticism and pettiness. it's hard not to think one-sided or Only see our side of things- that's why being open is important. Because we never know how our own actions may look and sound to the other.
