Shay Cochrane has been an entrepreneur for over twenty years, married to fellow business owner Graham for two decades, and mom to two teenage daughters who are just a few years from leaving the house. In this episode of The Something New Show, Mindi and Shay talk about what it actually looks like to keep building a business, a marriage, and real friendships all in the same season of life.
Shay walks through the jar and stones analogy her family uses to decide what actually gets protected on the calendar, and explains what she calls "value stacking," turning something as ordinary as a Thursday night soccer practice into marriage time, family time, and a workout all at once. She and Mindi talk honestly about the loneliness a lot of entrepreneurs their age feel, why Shay built an entire network just to stay surrounded by women who inspire her, and the parts of motherhood she has fully opted out of, PTA emails included, without an ounce of guilt.
If you've ever felt like you have to choose between growing your business and keeping your closest relationships intact, this conversation is for you.

Clark Beckham on Faith, Marriage, and Building a Music Career That Doesn't Look Like Everyone Else's
American Idol Season 14 runner-up Clark Beckham joins The Something New Show for a conversation that goes way beyond the music.
Clark opens up about the exact moment he fell in love with music at age three (hint: it involves an oboe solo from The Land Before Time), growing up with a professional musician dad who toured with the Righteous Brothers, Dolly Parton, and Tanya Tucker, and the pivotal decision to skip his first American Idol audition because he felt God tell him not to go.
We dig into what actually separates a successful working musician from a technically gifted one who never breaks through, Clark's take on entrepreneurial mindset, adaptability, and "painting a clear picture of what's inside you" is a must-hear for any creative trying to build a sustainable career.
He also shares how his American Idol run led to a thriving YouTube channel critiquing new Idol contestants each season, why he turned down a Christian-genre-only record deal to make music his way, and what it's really like blending three callings: performing, teaching, and preaching.
The conversation closes with some of the most honest, practical marriage advice you'll hear, including why the first year of marriage being "the hardest" might be a myth, and why calling off an engagement can be one of the bravest, best decisions someone can make.
Whether you're a musician, a creative entrepreneur, someone navigating faith and career, or just looking for real talk on marriage and calling, this episode has something for you.
In this episode:
-The childhood moment that sparked Clark's love of music
-Growing up in a musical family in Nashville
-Why Clark turned down his first American Idol audition
-What actually makes an artist successful (it's not just talent)
-Behind the scenes of American Idol and his run to the finale
-How he built a following reviewing American Idol contestants on
-YouTube
-Balancing performing, teaching, and preaching
-His new worship album and upcoming original music
-Honest advice on marriage, timing, and choosing the right partner

What if the tension in your relationships isn’t actually about the other person — but about patterns you learned long before you realized it?
In this powerful and deeply practical conversation, licensed Marriage & Family Therapist Marc Cameron joins us to unpack attachment styles — how they form in childhood, how they quietly drive conflict in adulthood, and how secure attachment can actually be earned later in life.
From marriage and parenting to leadership, faith, and emotional regulation, this episode connects the dots between why we react the way we do and how to break unhelpful cycles for good.
Mark is a co-host of New Life Live, the largest Christian counseling call-in radio show in the country, and the author of Understanding Your Attachment Style. Whether you’re married, single, dating, leading a team, or raising kids, this episode will help you better understand yourself — and the people you love.
✨ In this episode, we discuss:
What attachment styles are and why everyone has one
The 4 insecure attachment styles (Avoider, Pleaser, Vacillator, Disorganized)
What secure attachment actually looks like
Why triggers are usually about the past — not the present
How attachment styles show up in marriage, parenting, work, and leadership
Why “just communicate better” doesn’t work
How faith intersects with attachment and emotional healing
How to earn secure attachment as an adult
What to look for when choosing a spouse (without over-analyzing everything)
This episode is for anyone who wants healthier relationships, deeper connection, and real tools — not just theory.

In today’s episode, I sit down with therapist, author, and all-around brilliant human Jason, whose work spans trauma recovery, relationships, high performers, and helping people finally get unstuck.
Jason opens up about his years working with everyone from child soldiers to Navy SEALs to everyday couples who feel trapped in the same painful patterns. We walk through the real process of getting unstuck — not the vague “do the work” advice, but the actual steps: connecting past experiences to present behavior, understanding your narrative, grieving what you hoped life would be, and creating a new story that moves you forward.
Whether you’re navigating marriage challenges, struggling with unmet expectations, or trying to grow without losing yourself, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
