In this solo episode, I reflect on the profound importance of faith as the foundation for a joyful life and healthy relationships. Inspired by a recent podcast interview where I felt a reverend missed an opportunity to deeply address spiritual questions, I share my own perspective on how religion provides structure, meaning, and true peace in our increasingly chaotic world.
I'll walk you through:
✅ Why religion isn't just an accessory but should be the very structure of our lives
✅ How placing God at the center creates balance in marriage, family, and career
✅ The connection between women's health struggles and the modern pressure to "do it all"
✅ Why suffering has meaning and how faith transforms our response to life's challenges
✅ The divine order that brings harmony to relationships: God first, spouse second, children third
Whether you're deeply religious, spiritually curious, or simply seeking more balance and joy in your relationships, this episode offers an honest look at how returning to foundational values can transform your life. I share my personal journey from New Age spirituality to finding true peace through traditional faith, and how this shift has completely changed my approach to therapy, marriage, and life's inevitable suffering.
🔔 Remember: The path to joy isn't found in control or endless achievement, but in surrendering to something greater and recognizing the divine design for our relationships.
