The Grown Zone

The beginning of the new year is always a time of excitement and hopefulness, but if we're honest it's also a time of angst.

Each New Year, people commit (or recommit) to wishes, dreams and desires for their lives, also known as resolutions. Unfortunately, breaking resolutions is as much a tradition as making them. However, making and breaking promises, especially to yourself, is not Grown, because it is unhealthy; it diminishes your love and esteem for self. Your capacity to make and keep healthy commitments to yourself is a major sign of being truly Grown (not merely adult).

So this year, try something new: Instead of making resolutions, consider the personal growth gaps that have caused all the others to fail. Allow us to give you some actual steps toward goal setting, with the mindsets to match.

You--and likely others you know—really need to tune in to this edition of Grown Zone Radio. Join us to get your mind right and the life you desire and deserve.

Is your marriage held together by the bonds of love, or is it a prison of disrespect, dissatisfaction and suffering for you and or your spouse? This edition of Grown Zone Radio makes the case that marriage was never meant be a sentence. All unhealthy relationships, including marriages, must end, in one of two ways:

Ending the relationship outright—including divorce, if necessary.  

Ending the relationship in order to renegotiate the terms to those of H.E.R. (honor, esteem and respect). 

In the Grown Zone, we are neither pro- nor anti-marriage. We are champions of the healthy relationships that make successful marriages work. The key to reducing divorce rates is not to merely be pro marriage, but to champion healthy relationship standards.

You--and likely others you know—really need to tune in to this edition of Grown Zone Radio. Join us to learn why our book Loving In The Grown Zone is not your typical relationship book about finding the love of your life (or just getting a steady sex partner), but about making healthy choices to empower you to claim the love you were created for.

You're a nice, decent person. You are loving, and want to be loved by others. So why are you always being treated like crap—especially in romantic relationships? This edition of Grown Zone Radio focuses on sabotaging beliefs that cause you to attract, choose and tolerate mistreatment—even though you say it's the last thing you want:

People mistreat you because they care about you.  

True love requires you to accept mistreatment. 

Someone (other than you) should be protecting you. 

Tolerate what you don't want, and you'll continue to get it, no matter how loudly you protest, or how much you insist that you deserve better. We're going to take on the unhealthy beliefs that invite people to mistreat you, and sabotage your ability to accept the relationships of honor, esteem and respect that you were created to enjoy..

This edition of Grown Zone Radio focuses on the reasons you are convinced that you don't deserve love. Once you adopt these beliefs (even if, and most likely, unconciously), you sabotage your ability to prepare for, recognize, attract and engage in healthy relationships of honor, esteem and respect. We are taught that we don't deserve love because:

I am divorced. I am unloveable because I am divorced. 

I can't bear/don't want children. I am unlovable because I am barren/broken.

I have an STD. I am unloveable because I am ruined/sick.

We accept suffering and mistreatment (or joy and kindness) for the same reason: We are convinced that we deserve them. The truth: There is nothing you can do or be that can disqualify you from healthy love. But until and unless you truly and unconditionally believe that, healthy relationships will elude you, no matter how desperately you seek and pursue them.

This edition of Grown Zone Radio focuses on the dangerous beliefs, unhealthy emotions and destructive choices rooted in loneliness. Your beliefs can only do two things: serve you, or sabotage you. Sabotage is inevitable when your choices are driven by falsehoods about loneliness and how to deal with it, including the following:

Sex is the solution. 

A new relationship will fix it.

Alone, I am not enough.

We not only invite you to challenge those beliefs, but to replace them with those that serve you by producing self-loving emotions of forgiveness, acceptance and compassion. You'll learn that the solution to loneliness is never external, but is, has always been, and will always be within you, determined solely by what you choose to believe.

This edition of Grown Zone Radio focuses on the crippling emotions that sabotage our ability to attract and sustain resilient, loving relationships. Only we, never others, can deny ourselves the love we were created for. Your beliefs can only do two things: serve you, or sabotage you. When your choices in relationships produce only dissatisfactory and negative outcomes, the saboteurs are always the following emotions and the beliefs that produce them:

Shame: What I am makes me unlovable. 

Guilt: My past choices disqualify me from healthy love.

Desperation: If I don't take what I can get, I'll end up with no love.

We not only invite you to challenge those beliefs, but to replace them with those that serve you by producing self-loving emotions of forgiveness, acceptance and compassion. You'll learn that the power to attract healthy love to you lies within you, determined solely by what you choose to believe.

This edition of Grown Zone Radio focuses on one of our primary motivations for launching our Grown Zone healthy relationships initiative—to challenge the beliefs that result in people literally being killed for love. Among the most dangerous of these beliefs: That you are automatically protected from relationship predators because you are an openly religious/church-going person of faith. 

At any hour of any day, you have but to turn on your television, and you'll find shows, such as Fatal Attraction on TV One and Snapped on Oxygen, which show the deadly consequences of accepting these dangerously unhealthy beliefs. As we say every week on Grown Zone Radio, your beliefs can only do two things: serve you, or sabotage you. The ultimate sabotage is becoming a murder victim! 

You—and likely others you know and care about—really need to tune in to this edition of Grown Zone Radio. Join us to learn why our book Loving In The Grown Zone is not your typical relationship book about finding the love of your life (or getting great sex) and living happily ever after, but about making healthy choices that can lay the foundation for success in love and life—and keep you from getting killed. In the Grown Zone, our standard is safe, loving, resilient relationships of honor, esteem and respect. Real, healthy love will never put your life at risk.

Just in case you missed it: Yes, we got married! This edition of Grown Zone Radio, our first as husband and wife, we share why we made our wedding a "whisper," while challenging common beliefs about the role of a wedding in a healthy relationship. Among the most unhealthy of these beliefs is that weddings change, fix or improve relationships. 

As we constantly say in the Grown Zone, beliefs can only do two things: Serve you or sabotage you. Sadly, too many things that we are taught to believe about weddings only sabotage, resulting in a 50-plus percent divorce rate and as many as 80 percent of marriages with at least one dissatisfied partner—not to mention infidelity, domestic violence and other unwanted outcomes. Making wedding planning a far higher priority than marriage planning is both a cause and symptom of unhealthy relationships.

You—and likely others you know and care about—really need to tune in to this edition of Grown Zone Radio. Join us to learn why our book Loving In The Grown Zone is not your typical relationship book about finding the love of your life (or getting great sex) and living happily ever after, but about making healthy choices that can lay the foundation for success in love and life. In the Grown Zone, our standard is not grand and glorious weddings, but loving, resilient relationships, including marriages, of honor, esteem and respect.

This edition of Grown Zone Radio takes on the lies about sex, love and manhood too many men are taught in their youth which result in their inability to establish and sustain healthy relationships. These beliefs are the true underlying cause of the widely perceived shortage of Grown men ready, willing and able to establish healthy, loving relationships of honor, esteem and respect. 

As we constantly say in the Grown Zone, beliefs can only do two things: Serve you or sabotage you. Sadly, too many things that we teach our boys and young men only sabotage--resulting in behaviors, including sexual irresponsibility, domestic violence and destructive choices--making them dangers to themselves and others. Without an intervention, such self-indulgent, penis-led males cannot evolve into the self-loving, Grown men they are created to be. Today's Grown Zone Radio show could be that intervention.

You—and likely the boys and men you know and care about—really need to tune in to this edition of Grown Zone Radio. Join us to learn why our book Loving In The Grown Zone is not your typical relationship book about finding the love of your life (or getting great sex) and living happily ever after, but about making healthy choices that can lay the foundation for success in love and life. In the Grown Zone, our standard is not normal relationships, but healthy ones.

This edition of Grown Zone Radio takes on the societal notion that a certain amount of fighting, abuse and drama are not only natural parts of a normal relationship, but actual proof of love! For example, we plant this seed in the minds of our children every time we tell girls that when a boy is mean or rude to her, it's because he has a crush on her. When we pass on such notions, we teach that abuse is a sign of love.

This notion is the absolute antithesis to the goal of finding a partner with whom you can establish a healthy, loving relationship of honor, esteem and respect. But if you put up with that standard as you enter a relationship, it will keep up, and likely intensify, for as long as the relationship lasts, without an intervention. In a healthy relationship, partners don't have to think alike in order to always think together.
