Today’s episode is a little different — and honestly, incredibly important.

We’re talking about something that impacts far more Christian homes than most people realize: pornography. 

Whether it’s something you’ve discovered in your marriage, something showing up in another family member's life, or something you’ve wrestled with personally, this topic is often wrapped in shame, secrecy, and silence.

But here’s the truth:

What stays hidden can’t be healed.

That’s why I invited a very special guest — my friend and professional pornography recovery coach, Zach Spafford, who helps individuals and couples walk through this painful, yet deeply redeemable and healing process.

Inside the episode, we talk about:

  *Why pornography has such a strong pull

  *How to determine what belongs to you… and what doesn't

  *What real, lasting recovery looks like

  *How couples can begin rebuilding trust

If your heart feels heavy, or if you’ve been quietly wondering how to heal, how to forgive, or how to move forward,  in this circumstance, -take a deep breath. You’re in the right place, and you’re not alone!

Listen in and learn as we untangle the lies, - and bring light into a space where so many women feel isolated.

🤗 Thank you for listening and sharing!

If you are known for “keeping the peace," yet you don't feel peaceful inside,  today's episode is for you!  

Listen in and I'll teach you everything you need to know to help you feel more confident, matter in your relationships, and live more honestly in your life.  

This is something I've struggled with in my own life, and still comes up for me from time to time…So this message is as much for you as it is for me.   

Learn 5 strategies you can use to shift this dynamic, gain a little more courage, and strengthen your resolve to stop trying to make everyone else in our lives emotionally comfortable… at the expense of your own inner peace.

There is a painful price to be paid for  “Keeping the Peace,” in fact it’s a delusion… we delude ourselves into believing we have the power… the control of managing others..which is never true, that’s other people’s responsibility as we talked about in last week’s episode.

But the choice we’re really making  in “keeping the peace, " is to take the battle to ourselves, suffer in our own minds,  rather than grow into the maturity of honest relationship.

 If you find this helpful, would you please leave me a rating and review, -and share with a friend who could use this help!

Today we're diving into one of my favorite — and honestly, one of the most transformative things you can do to improve your close relationships  and especially your marriage, and that is the skill of differentiation.

Some of you might not have even heard of this term before, so let me share the simplest definition I can. 

Google provides a good one, so we'll go with it.

“Differentiation in relationships is the ability to maintain your sense of self, your values, and your individuality, all while staying emotionally connected to your partner.”

It's actually the opposite of being co-dependent.  It's un-enmeshing yourself, maintaining your independence as a person AND being in an intimate partnership.

Differentiation allows you to express your own thoughts and feelings while also respecting your partner's thoughts and feelings.

Learning this skill is crucial for helping you to navigate conflicts constructively, it allows space for both people to matter and take up space in the relationship, and that freedom to be yourself is exactly what you need to build a more mature and authentic connection.

So there you have it.. Sounds great right?  Well listen in, because understanding this concept is one thing, but actually implementing it, especially if it has been a long-term pattern or you, can be much more difficult, -and that is what I plan to help you with today.

Thanks for listening and sharing with a friend! 🤗

Today's episode is number 100! 🎉🎉🎉

Can you believe that?  One hundred weeks of spending time with you.. 

I'm just so grateful, and I'm actually really proud of myself for accomplishing this goal.

I was afraid of creating a podcast for so long, I wondered if I would have enough to say…and now it's one of the things i look forward to the most!

When I teach you, I learn myself… so perhaps that why I love it so much. - It helps me remember what I want to focus on in my own life… and who I want to be.

Today's message is a little lighter than the last few episodes,  we're going to talk about Four Fall habits that will Nourish Your Soul and help to enhance your life.

So listen in and share your favorite habits with me as well!  I love it when we learn together.

Thanks for listening! 🤗

Today is my birthday,  and because of that, I want to talk about something that a lot of women deal with…

That heavy, hollow, painful feeling, when you feel you’ve been let down.

This is something I’ve struggled with my whole life, and something that still rears its ugly head for me.  

But I truly believe that my own personal struggle has meaning, because it has allowed me to work through it, and find solutions.. So that I can share them with you.

I think there are situations we can all relate to..

Maybe you expected someone to show up for you and they didn’t.

Perhaps you’ve hoped that someone would celebrate you.. And it didn’t happen.

Maybe you thought life would look a certain way at this point in your life — and it doesn’t.
Or maybe… you’ve prayed and prayed, and it feels like heaven is quiet.

Today we dive into the tools and truths that will help you overcome this feeling in your own life.  

Please like and share, and if you want to give me a little birthday gift, please help my show to grow by leaving a review.  THANK YOU!

Today’s topic is one that I’ve been thinking a lot about lately.  

It feels vitally important to talk about it in today’s world, so today we’re going to talk about emotional manipulation. 

Listen in and learn how to spot it, how to recognize when you use it on others and also be aware when others try using it on you.

Then, discover how you can stop participating in it, shift your habits, and create a much more peaceful existence for yourself, and those around you.

Today we’re talking about something that every one of us experiences—those moments when you’re trying to explain something you know is right, but the other person just isn’t buying it. 

Maybe it’s your spouse, your adult child, a friend, or someone at work or church.

The problem is that trying to “win” the argument often ends up losing the relationship. 

So today we’re going to talk about a better way—one that actually increases your influence and draws people closer to you, instead of pushing them away.
