  • How to Overcome Roadblocks to Great Sex - with Dan Purcell

    Another dream guest on the podcast today!

    Dan Purcell is a "sexpert", software developer, and dad of six, married to the amazing Emily Purcell. Together, Dan & Emily created the "Get Your Marriage On!" blog, where they share what they've learned in their own marriage about sex, to help couples have more fulfilling relationships. Dan hosts a podcast of his own ("Get Your Marriage On!") AND created an incredible app called "Intimately Us" chockfull of resources, games, articles, and tips for improving your sex life with a clean & fun, but informative lens.

    Today, Joe and I ask Dan all of our questions about sex, including how to juggle sex with young kids, how to create more intimacy with your spouse, how to learn about sex together in a safe environment, and how to increase desire for sex when things like pregnancy, pain with sex, chronic illness, or desire discrepancy get in the way. 

    Trust me when I say, you will want to take notes!

    Visit our Show Notes @ progressprompts.com for the tips that stood out to me, plus links to a load of helpful, free, & fun advice from Dan and his team, and find Dan @ getyourmarriageon.com .

  • How Do You Let Go of What You Can't Control?

    If letting go of what you can't control brings so much peace, then why is it so hard to do?! Today I asked Joe to share the secret of his easy-going nature. We chat about focusing your energy where it matters most, being busy for the wrong reasons, and what "control" really means to us.

    We'd love your tips for letting go, too!

  • How Do You Stay Rooted in Your Faith During Challenging Times?

    Today Joe and I wax religious! We chat about how we stay rooted in our personal relationships with God rather than tuning into the external chatter - which there seems to be a lot of these days. I don't know if you've felt this one as much as we have, but if so, we'd love to hear your thoughts.

  • Feel (Don't Feed) Your Feelings || Practice Makes Progress
    Something I'm working on this month is handling my kids' big feelings. I share 4 principles that I've learned for feeling your feelings rather than feeding them, but I'd love your tips for helping our kids handle big emotions, too. It's definitely a struggle in our home!

  • What Do You Wish People Knew About Divorce?
    Today's prompt came as a request from our community, and I couldn't think of a better guest than my own mom.
    Sheri Gali is a Latter Day Saint mom of four kids, and a full-time nurse with a Bachelor's degree from Weber State University. She has been through 2 divorces, 8 miscarriages, and many other trials besides.
    I also know she isn't the only one who has gone through this often lonely, and life-changing experience. One of my goals with the podcast has always been transparency, and I think this topic could use a little more of just that.
    So listen in, and let us know your thoughts @progressprompts on Instagram or @ progressprompts.com .

  • How Do You Shop for the Men in Your Life?

    As a general rule of thumb, when the woman in your life needs a gift - a good default is chocolate, flowers/plants, or lotion (does anyone else love Bath & Body Works as much as I do?). But I struggle when it comes to the men in my life... because there is no default! In honor of Father's Day coming up this month, I am accepting your best and brightest ideas ;) And Joe is sharing some of his favorite gift ideas, too, so tune in.

  • Habits vs. Addiction || Practice Makes Progress

    If this were an episode of "Friends" it would be "The One About How I Quit Binge-Eating For Good". At least, that's me being hopeful. So, here's my messy progress for the month, and if you're cementing any new habits or working on your own health journey, I'd love to hear how it's going for you.
