Crud Talk

What do you remember? Happy things? Scary things? Painful things? Memories can be great. But they can also be a prison sentence. If you're like me, you've probably been hurt and trying to forget feels impossible. But what if I told you that even though I went through horrific things, there IS MORE to my story then the hard parts. What we REMEMBER...makes a difference. We're talking about "WHAT WE REMEMBER" - tonight on Crud Talk-E184. ⁠www.sonyabrunner.com⁠ Sonya Brunner - Fifty Shades of Grace (Facebook page) @sonya4him - Instagram @SONYAcruddealer - TikTok Sonya (Fifty Shades of Grace, host of Crud Talk podcast) Brunner - Linkedin Got Crud?

THERE'S LOTS of CHANGES going on. No doubt…there are many of you going through BIG CHANGES. I don't know if you're like me…I  want things to change…but when things actually CHANGE…it's nothing like I thought it would be. And I get ticked! So…How do YOU feel about CHANGE? How do you handle it? Do you love it…or do you hate it? You might say, “This is NOT…good. I don't like what's happening. I don't like this change in my life. This is NOT what I wanted.” I get it! Every change is an education. And how we handle the changes that come, can make us bitter...or better. We're talking about it on tonights episode..."KEEP THE CHANGE" - Crud Talk E182 www.sonyabrunner.com Sonya Brunner - Fifty Shades of Grace (Facebook page) @sonya4him - Instagram @SONYAcruddealer - TikTok Sonya (Fifty Shades of Grace, host of Crud Talk podcast) Brunner - Linkedin  Got Crud?

What do you think about when you hear the word "STRIPPED"? We hear the word STRIPPED and most of us think something negative or bad when is happening. But when Jesus has STRIPPED something away from us…it's ALWAYS for our good. ALWAYS. The reason that it's so painful…is because we've been holding on to it…so tightly. But what if the greatest blessing is coming...when that OLD thing...which no longer has a purpose...is stripped away and now we are FREE to step into a NEW purpose? Could it be that the greatest blessing IS being STRIPPED? We're talking about it tonight on Crud Talk.

What makes a GOOD dad? And what if YOUR dad wasn't good? Maybe you had a father who was dialed in and engaged. He affirmed you and loved you well. But maybe you don't have a father in your life or maybe you had a father who wasn't kind, loving or caring. Maybe your father walked away and didn't choose you. It's Father's Day and we're talking about men...their struggles, the pressure, how they lead their families. And guess what? They have crud, too! Depending on how they've dealt with it...or not...can represent the kind of man or "dad" they've become. Good thing I know a GOOD FATHER.

Have you ever found yourself praying and asking God for something…over and over…hoping and praying, crying out for something that you need or for God to provide something for you or a loved one? But then He answers and you're like, “What the heck? That's NOT what I wanted, Lord!!!” And you find yourself angry and almost devastated and deeply grieving the ANSWER that you asked for. Yep, me too! What do you do when you are grieving what you asked for? Could it be that there's MORE to the picture than what we see? We're talking about it on this episode of Crud Talk.

~TRIGGER WARNING!!!~ "911...what is your emergency?" "I need help. My daddy is hurting me." Obviously…this is personal for me. I DID turn in my family member. I was 11 and I turned in my own mother. I also reported the name, address and events of my sex trafficking in detail to the police. Hardest...most gut-wrenching decision I've ever had to make. But I knew in my heart that what was happening to me was WRONG. Nobody was coming to help me. I made a decision to get myself help. Why? I knew there was more. And I didn't want any other kid to go through what had happened to me. People have lots of reasons why they NEVER told a soul or reported their abuse or rape as a kid. But at what cost?

People are hurting. LOTS of people.

What does Easter mean to you? The Easter Bunny...the fancy dresses, family dinners...and Easter Egg Hunts. EGGS can be in all different forms. Hard boiled. Raw. Rotten. All have a shell. All have a yoke. All are fragile. EVERY EGG MUST BREAK in order to be USED. Same with us. In other words…until we're willing to break open those areas that we've been holding on to…OUR CRUD…we remain STUCK and stagnant…useless. Maybe even ROTTEN…and without our God-given purpose. What if we've REJECTED the very meaning of this day? Got some EASTER crud??? Let's go on an EASTER CRUD HUNT.

Are you a TRASH TALKER? How do we speak to people? Do we talk trash or are we kind and considerate? But words can be a POWERFUL weapon. I'm a person who has NO problem with words.

Have you ever said, "WHATEVER!"? When we say “WHATVER” we're saying that something's not important or that it makes no difference. We use that word to "dismiss" someone or to flippantly move on to some other topic of conversation. I want us all to get in our minds…**IT MATTERS HOW WE SAY WHATEVER! Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8 MY STORY is the opposite of Philippians 4:8. Every single word of that verse my life is completely opposite. I was the afterthought the unimportant, the worthless thing. I was the "whatever" to the people who hurt me. I'm MORE than a flippant WHATEVER. And so are YOU.

Happy New Year. So how was your 2023? Good? Horrible? So what does that mean for 2024? I think it's important to look back and see what has happened…GOOD and BAD…and what God did and what you learned from it…in hindsight or reflection…in order to move forward. In order to answer that...you and I need CLARITY. Clarity starts with the TRUTH. But WHAT IS THE TRUTH? And what does that mean for me and my NEW year? We are writing it out TOGETHER.

Especially the pressure that I put on myself with crazy expectations. What will my family think? Is it enough? Can I do more? What if, what if, what if??? How do YOU handle stress?

I've been through some horrific abuse and torture. And people ask me all the time, "HOW do you TRUST Jesus...when He ALLOWED it?" Many of us have been hurt and disappointed at the DEEPEST level…but instead of telling the truth or dealing with it…we hold back. We run. We will not allow ourselves to be hurt worse, so we refuse to trust Him or anyone else. Instead of dealing with the crud, we blame God for what has happened, and we depend on ourselves. So HOW is that working for YOU? Our hurt is real. And God can do anything. So how DO we trust the one that allowed it? We're talking about it on this week's episode of Crud Talk.

What are you thankful for? Depending on how you were raised, or what you've walked through...you might be finding it difficult to feel THANKFUL. Are you lonely? Are you mad? Are you bitter? Are you defeated? Are you tired? Have you lost hope? All kinds of thoughts and feelings arise when we enter into the Holiday season...and we find ourselves face to face with our CRUD. When we struggle to be thankful, we can find ourselves losing HOPE. Especially when we find ourselves at the dinner table with some of the people who inflicted the most pain in our lives.

Have you ever had to face a BULLY? Everyone has a button that you don't want to push. The fastest way to get me hacked off is to have someone BULLY someone else.

Church is supposed to be a "safe" place. Everyone belongs. Everyone is equal. And ALL have sinned. So what do you do if you are hurt by the church? If it's happened to you, you KNOW how painful it is. You question everything. In one instant you can lose your friends, your church family and possibly your job. No matter how or why it happens, the damage can devastate even the strongest person of faith. Jesus is all very well acquainted with CHURCH hurt.

So they open the doors the cage…to let the dog come out on his own…and what does the dog do? HE STAYS IN THE CAGE. Why?   Because at least in the cage…he KNOWS what to expect. If he steps out of the cage…he doesn't know what will happen. The cage is KNOWN. Even if it's not good for him. Even if it's holding him back and not allowing him to live the life he was meant to live…he'd rather stay in the cage…then come out.   We do that, too. We actually CHOOSE the prison, rather than the freedom. The saddest prison…is the one that we lock OURSELVES in. Remember…Only a specific KEY can open the door. You can't put any other kind of KEY in the lock and expect it to open. But here's the thing, because we're human, we've tried to unlock the doors…using the WRONG KEYS. What KEY are you using? Having the RIGHT KEY...matters. And what good is the key if we won't come out of the prison? We're talking about it on Crud Talk E157 - "The Key To Freedom Part 2". www.sonyabrunner.com #dealwithyourcrud #crudtalk #cruddealer #fiftyshadesofgrace #lifecoach #humantraffickingawareness #abuse #survivor #healing #forgiveness #howtodealwithcrud #hope #speaker #podcast #family #marriage #relationships #howtoforgive #sexualabuse #freedom #empowerment #childtrafficking #bible #childabuse #crudcoach #howtodealwithyourcrud #thekey #counselor #thekeytofreedomconference #truth #love

SO MANY PEOPLE are hurting. Everyone I work with…they ALL have crud that they haven't dealt with…and it's causing major issues in their lives. They aren't free. They have KEYS to just about everything. Every situation…every emotion…”do this and you'll be happy.” If that doesn't work, let's get a new key for a new door. And we're never satisfied. We hate where we are but we're afraid of what lies ahead. There's lots of keys...and there's many different kinds of prisons. We might have a key. But having the…RIGHT key…matters.

This is for Mature Audiences ONLY! You had questions...so so MANY questions. I LOVE IT! How do we talk about SEX? What do we say? What if she won't forgive me? What if he won't listen? How can I make myself be okay with it and not feel dirty? What if he loves someone else? What if she doesn't want me anymore? What can we do to fix this? Questions always make me feel hopeful. If we are willing to ask, then that shows that we care about the answer. I'm answering some of the good ones, on this episode of Crud Talk. "Say WHAT Now? SSS Word Q&A's - Crud Talk E155 Got Crud?

**The episode is for ADULTS ONLY!** The OTHER SSS word...a.k.a...the "FUN" one. At least, I think it's fun. But sadly, many couples are hurting because there is a lack of intimacy in the marriage. Sin, crud, lack of communication, and abuse...all play a part in one of the greatest tragedies in marriages today. Well, I'm not putting up with it...ANYMORE. Satan has had enough free reign in the realm of THIS SSS word...and I'm DONE. D. O. N. E. Too many people have been hurt sexually or have hurt others...and it's time to be honest, communicate and FIGHT for our freedom. God created it. God has a plan and it's time to start living like it.

What's the big deal with the Ssss word, anyway? It isn't a big deal...unless you don't know what it is...or you don't understand how God created it to be. Everyone wants to be the boss of their own lives. But HOW is that working for YOU? Not very good if we are paying attention to the decline of marriages in the world today. My special guest is here..and we're talking about the most notorious, controversial "Sssss" word in modern day marriage. The Ssss Word - Crud Talk E153 w/special guest Pastor Rick Brunner Got Crud?

Are you a RUNNER? When things get hard...when things are uncomfortable...do you RUN? Or maybe you struggle with trusting people, so you don't let anyone get close and then you run before anyone gets the chance to love you? The problem with running, is you never deal with the crud. And you will always HAVE to keep RUNNING. We are talking about RUNNERS on this episode. "Run, Jonah! Run!" - Crud Talk E152 www.sonyabrunner.com Got Crud? Yep. We ALL do.

Have you ever been waiting for something and wondered WHY God hasn't given it to you or what's taking Him so long? Or when you do get an answer...it's NOT what you thought you wanted or what you hoped for? Trusting God sounds easy...until things don't go how we thought they would or should. So, what do you do? How do you respond? Are you a "keep the faith" kind of person or are you more of a "Forget this. I'm taking over!" We're talking about asking for what we need, waiting and the disaster that happens when we take matters into our own hands. Got Crud? Yep. We ALL do.

Loving people is hard. Leading people is hard. We're talking about leadership and when God asks us to do hard things, how will we respond? What does that look like and what does it take? Being a leader is hard...because people are complicated. But I think we forget that you and I...ARE people, too. Jesus understands how hard it is to LEAD people. It's Jesus' power that helps us do hard things. But we can't do ANYTHING without Jesus. It starts with Him. Doing Hard Things - Crud Talk E149 Got Crud? Yep. We ALL do.

Do you PLAY NICE? Some of us haven't learned how to play nicely with others. We feel entitled. We feel like we're above others, and we won't hesitate to make others feel dumb or less than. Is that you or has that happened to you? Here are some things we can do when we find ourselves struggling to PLAY NICE. We're talking about it on Crud Talk.

Have you ever asked the question "HOW"? Yep, I have, too. When I need to know something, or I want to learn...I ask HOW. I got in BIG trouble for asking HOW by a millionaire. I guess to some people, "HOW" is a really STUPID question...unless you're DESPERATE. When you're desperate...you'll do anything to know HOW to fix it or HOW to change it OR HOW to move on. We're talking about asking the question HOW...and getting the answers that we need to help us through the pain and the hard stuff...you know...the CRUD in our lives.

As we celebrate Independence Day and the freedoms that we hold dear, is EVERYONE free? Does EVERYONE have a right to freedom? Who gets to decide that? **WARNING - This episode is for MATURE Audiences Only** There are millions of slaves in the world RIGHT NOW. You might think you don't know anyone who has been sold to another person. But after listening to this podcast, you might change your mind. While we are grilling our burgers and watching the fireworks, we need to remember that not EVERYONE is FREE. What can you and I do? We can do SOMETHING. What will YOU do?

REGRET. No one wants to live with regret. But, is it all bad? What if regret gets us to focus on what we need to? It's my birthday and we're talking about REGRET Crud.

I met my father for the first time. **WARNING** Mature audiences Only Be careful what you ask. You might now like the answers. This is the gut-wrenching story and what I learned.

Has this ever happened to you? You're called to do something, you're passionate, you're working hard and...NO ONE is cheering for you. In fact they don't even ask about it or get involved in any way. They might even make the conversation all about what THEY are doing. Sometimes, they can even be mean because of jealousy. It can be lonely. It can be discouraging. But here's some things this cheerleader learned. "When the CHEERLEADER Needs a CHEERLEADER!" Crud Talk E143

We are a society that has MORE than ever…as far as money, modern conveniences, information, and the ability to learn and change our circumstances. Now all we have to do…is GOOGLE IT! And we can find anything we need…like RIGHT NOW! We have it all...but still we want MORE. We have everything...but we are miserable...lonely...& discontent. Why? And how does that impact the other areas of our lives? We're talking about discontentment and how to deal with that crud. "I Can't Get No...SATISFACTION" - Crud Talk E142

Are you a MOM? We love it. It's our greatest accomplishment. It's everything we've ever dreamed of. We feel good about how we're doing and we're confident in our ability to be a great MOTHER. Right? Hmmm. Have you ever felt like this: "There's something wrong with me. I feel like the biggest fake on the planet. I wanted the dream. A husband, who loves me...and kids. I've wanted kids since I was little. Now that I have everything I've ever wanted… I'm more lonely than I thought I'd be. I can't handle being a mother." We're talking about being a MOM on today's episode of Crud Talk. "Good Mom's...Who Want To Leave!" - Crud Talk E141

Has this ever happened to you? Someone hurts you and betrays your trust. But what if it comes from someone who should've known better but didn't do better by you? Those are some of the deepest wounds. We're hearing from a woman who was hurt by her father. Because of that hurt, she made choices that hurt herself and her marriage. This is an incredible story of heartbreak and healing. Listen to her story. "Should've Known Better" - Crud Talk E140

It's March MADNESS. Basketball and MORE basketball. And I'm MAD! Are YOU? People handle anger in all different kinds of ways.  Are you king or queen of the flagrant fouls or flopping? So, what do we do when we get mad?  What do we do when we've been hurt or betrayed or disappointed by someone else?  Do we retaliate?  Do we shut down?  Do we hold a grudge?  Do we blame others?  Do we make excuses for how we act?  Do we refuse to forgive?  Do we get MAD?  What does the anger do for you? Does it help you? Or does it become part of the problem? It's ALL about the way we handle our anger that matters most. We're talking about it. "The MAD...In March MADness!" - Crud Talk E139

People are awesome...until they're NOT. (Deep Sigh.) And why does it seem like they're always the loudest and most repeat-offenders? (Eye-roll) When we've been hurt by others, we can get discouraged...especially if things don't ever change. Saying stupid things like, "If I didn't hurt you, you wouldn't be where you are today. I take 100% credit for you." Yep. Like I said, people are awesome...until you want to throat punch them. :) What do we do when we are stuck in the hurt? How do we get past it? We're talking about it today on Crud Talk. "From the Pit...To The Party!" - Crud Talk E138

“It's time to STOP telling our daughters NOT to wear shorts when Uncle Bob is over…and start telling Uncle Bob he can't come over anymore.” Uncle Bob would INSIST on "hugs". He'd look me up and down, he'd hold me TOO close and He would always try to kiss me. The worst part of all of it was...that his hands would always be TOO HIGH up. Then he would LINGER there, while TONS of adults stood in the room doing NOTHING! I feel like many people have an "Uncle Bob" in their family. I hear from lots of people regarding this issue…and how much damage it's cost them personally, not only the violation & trauma of the act, but the strain and the rejection of their family members. This is hard to talk about…but so so so common. I'm not one to sugar coat ANYTHING…you guys know that…So here we go. “It's time to STOP telling our daughters NOT to wear shorts when Uncle Bob is over…and start telling Uncle Bob he can't come over anymore.” "Uncle Bob Has Got To Go!" - Crud Talk E137

"Do what you want, say what you want, live how you want, when you want. Do what makes YOU happy. You do you!" If everything revolves around us and it IS all about ME...then why aren't we happy? Could it be that there's some crud in there that hasn't been dealt with...and we're responding in ways that are hurtful to ourselves or others? Is this is you, then...SHUT THE...CRUD...UP! Got Crud? Everybody does. How we deal with it, makes all the difference. So let's deal with it. "Shut the...CRUD..UP!" Crud Talk E136

I'm just so...HURT! Have YOU been hurt by someone? Have you been betrayed, disappointed, wounded? Has it been difficult to forgive and to get past it? I GET IT! I don't know a human being on earth...who hasn't been hurt by somebody else. All of us have crud, so what can we do...to get past the pain and move on? We're talking about CRUD that HURTS...and how to deal with it. "When It HURTS Like CRUD...How to Deal with HURT" - Crud Talk E135

Have you been struggling to get in the CHRISTMAS spirit this year? You're NOT alone. I've heard from many people that this year is less than "Christmassy..." for them. So, what do we do when we aren't FEELING IT? I think I can help. Christmas Blahs? STOP DROP AND ROLL." - Crud Talk E134
