When we feel alone in the darkness, when we're being bullied by lies that say we aren't worthy - we need hope and faith! Sometimes, just that you're showing up is enough. It counts and you're not alone! 

This chat echos these sentiments as Brene and Oprah share about risks and consequences of vulnerability. Thank you for listening!

Falling in love for the first time or even the 20th time is both exhilarating and disorienting. 

After he found out his girlfriend was cheating on her he decided it wasn't safe to fall in love again. It's best to hold back part of my heart and my love so I don't feel that pain again. 

What are the consequences we pay for putting our hearts in a cast and never taking it off? What price do we pay when we vow: "I'll never love or let someone love me like that again"? These are the questions we explore in today's episode.

She cheated but the relationship was fractured before her one night stand. Was it the difference in their religious beliefs, or lifestyle interests or general compatibility? It's most likely a combination of all the above. Listen as Eirik and I explore marriage, divorce, love, religion and relationships!

"We all go through bad seasons". David starts his talk with these universal words.

Whether we get what we want or lose what we thought we wanted, we can experience a sense of feeling delusional. I believe David does a great job addressing some of the moments where we have to reconcile the picture we had in our minds to what's actually happening in reality.

I hope you are encouraged by this talk if you find yourself in a winter season.

What if there were a skeleton key to unlock difficult relationships? It comes in the form of boundaries! Learning to yes and no is one of the most overlooked traits to helping us have healthy relationships and great self-care. 

Sarri takes us through a new perspective that will inspire us to have better boundaries. Don't miss this, you'll appreciate the valuable tools she shares.

Do you explore dating apps hoping for something special or short-term fun? Is it just a digital pen pal or a foundation for something more? Keilee thought she connected with someone special. 

She was naive and he was cowardly. This combination led to a four-year tug-of-war on heartstrings that were meant to be played for love, not play her.

B is a young Lebanese-American man whose family is originally from Lebanon. Even though he thinks he's generally a good person, he finds himself wrestling with an internal monster. 

He first noticed this monster of rage when he dated Brenda. Maybe she created the monster? But after they broke up that monster came out again in other relationships. Now B is looking inward. At his lowest moments he finds himself behaving in ways that's hurtful to others and he doesn't know how to change.

Stick with us as we explore the roots of this rage monster. You may find yourself thinking this guy sounds spoiled and entitled - this guy is a jerk to women - I don't need to listen to this. Hang in there because what it sounds like on the surface is just a cover for some deep family pain. 

Together B and I go to some of the hidden core pain in his heart and in his body. Together we start the inner-healing process. I am so proud and impressed with B - he took a deep dive into some very vulnerable places. The reward - breakthrough!!! He gets really honest and finds some ways to be empowered - knowing he isn't stuck with being a monster, the monster isn't in control. He has hope to be a better man and live a better life. 

Be encouraged!

The lingering thoughts and feelings at the end of a relationship can be overwhelming and obsessive. You can feel stuck. 

Not only does it take a while to get over a relationship, the remnants can haunt us in the future. In this TedTalk, we will hear simple, practical, and helpful advice on how to sort through the end of the relationship and how to get closure. 

It's really common to think and say to oneself - "I wish I would've said..." or "If only I could get this off my chest...". 

We tend to withhold how we truly feel and the drama of that energy builds up in our bodies and minds - creating toxic thoughts and distance between us and those we care most about. We can retaliate with or are wounded by rejection and attack! Are you willing to pay the price for peace? Listen as Elizabeth shares how she found a miracle relationship after years of carrying hurt with a loved one.
