Shane shares how traditions can have a profound impact on relationships by fostering connection, creating a sense of belonging, and reinforcing shared values.   He shares some of his own family traditions as well as from asking others what traditions were meaningful to them.  

He reminds the listeners to stay tuned to 2025 where the theme will be happiness.  What are the ingredients for a happy life.  He is open to guests submitting their nominee for someone they know is happy and feels comfortable being interviewed about the ways he/she has created a happy life.  

Your world was torn apart by the person you loved the most in the world. Maybe you're still in the relationship, maybe not. Maybe you're trying to decide. What you know is that you don't feel yourself, and you're not getting past it. Therapist Kaylee Dunn talks with Shane about how betrayed partners learn from their anger and channel it to power their transformation. Back to safety and reconnection in relationships again.

She and a colleague started the Humans Navigating Betrayal FB group.

Related to that, I am excited to announce a new online course coming soon:
Heroic Healing: A Couples' Guide to Healing from Betrayal/Infidelity

This is my first time developing an online course.  I am uncertain how much time it will require.   I may take a longer break than just summer months if I need the time for course development.  I will give listeners a time we will be back releasing episodes this fall.   If you have a guest or topic you would like to recommend, please email me at

A decade-long journey to heal from PTSD, depression, and addiction took travel writer Brad Wetzler to the Holy Land, India, and the Himalayas. While immersed in nature, spirituality, and relationships with people (and dogs), Brad discovered himself. Self-compassion was a big healer: "When I softened the way I spoke to myself, I began to emerge, and began to feel more connected with my world."

Brad's journey is chronicled in his book Into the Soul of the World.

Have you ever gotten annoyed at someone else, only to later realize it mirrored something in yourself that irritates you? Or noticed a pattern in some relationships that went south? "You take yourself wherever you go," says life coach Deb Blum, who focuses on helping women in the second half of their lives to cultivate a relationship with themselves that they can love.

She offers a yearlong course called The Whole Soul Way and a free tool called 3 Keys to Master Your Emotional Triggers.

Lori Beard focuses on 7 steps of personal development.   Today we dive deeper into negative perceptions and how to reframe these so they do not sabotage your life:

• Lori shares how her perception of not feeling good enough as a child to keep her parents together in marriage impacted her self-esteem and views on love. 
• She explores how she experienced difficulties in forming and maintaining romantic relationships due to these early childhood experiences. 
• Her beliefs about marriage and long-term relationships matured through life experiences.
• She shares significant breakthroughs of healing and growth towards a more mature outlook on love and relationship that resulted in her writing & coaching.
• She expresses gratitude that all these experiences increased her compassion for others and prepared her to be a guide for others through coaching.

As an executive coach, Jelena Simpson leans heavily on the DISC personality assessment to help leaders understand their strengths and areas for improvement in working with their teams. And connecting with them is crucial, she says, because it keeps employees who value security and low conflict from "quiet quitting." She also points out that leadership is not simply a position—all people in an organization can be leaders if they have influence.
