Podcasts about boundaries

Three years ago, Sabrina Zohar hit rock bottom after losing everything she thought defined her. In this raw anniversary episode of The Sabrina Zohar Show, she reflects on the journey from heartbreak, identity collapse, and losing her sense of direction to rebuilding her life through self-trust, nervous system healing, and emotional growth. This episode explores grief, attachment patterns, worthiness, and what happens when the path you were certain about disappears. Joined by her partner (romantic and business) Ryan halfway through, Sabrina unpacks anxious and avoidant dynamics, boundaries, communication, and why healing doesn't mean never being triggered again. If you've ever felt lost after a breakup, attached to outcomes, or afraid of being seen, this episode is a reminder that you're not broken. You're becoming. If you're ready to slow down, trust your instincts, and break your old dating patterns, the Healthy Relationship Foundations Course walks you through it step-by-step  HERE! If you're serious about changing your dating patterns instead of repeating them, the Art of Going Slow course helps you unlearn urgency, regulate your nervous system, and build real connection without rushing, chasing, or abandoning yourself HERE!

Screens dominate modern life, quietly shaping habits, desires, and spiritual health in ways many people fail to recognize. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar examine how smartphones and social media have become powerful tools that amplify the heart's desires, often drifting from usefulness into addiction. While technology itself is morally neutral, the guys explain that human sinfulness and spiritual opposition twist good gifts into sources of distraction, dependency, and misplaced worship. Phones promise connection and reassurance, yet they often function as a substitute for stillness, prayer, and dependence on the Lord.The conversation turns to how social media platforms are intentionally designed to be addictive. Drawing parallels to slot machines, the guys discuss dopamine-driven engagement and the reality that free apps profit by turning users into products. This constant stimulation rewires attention and interferes with spiritual disciplines like reading Scripture and being present with God. They challenge believers to consider how often they check their phones compared to how often they examine their souls, warning that unchecked use reshapes how sin is perceived, normalized, and even celebrated.The guys then move into the personal and relational costs of excessive phone use. Social media provides comfort through distance, yet it fuels jealousy, gossip, and slander while deepening loneliness. Digital life replaces fundamental interactions with curated images, depriving people of everyday relational friction that builds maturity and resilience. They note growing social anxiety, loss of creativity, and diminished attention spans as consequences of constant engagement. Yet the discussion also highlights practical steps toward freedom, such as reading physical Bibles, setting boundaries, turning off notifications, limiting app access, and intentionally reclaiming attention from devices designed to control it.Finally, the guys address parenting and responsibility in a digital age. They urge courage, honesty, and accountability when it comes to children and screens, emphasizing that guidance and restriction are acts of love, not burdens. Parents are encouraged to replace screen time with creativity, outdoor play, genuine relationships, and hands-on experiences. The episode closes with a call to fight rather than surrender, to confess unhealthy habits, and to invite family accountability. True freedom comes not from rejecting technology entirely, but from examining the heart, setting wise boundaries, and choosing to let Christ shape attention, affection, and daily life.Send us a textThanks for listening!

What does it really mean for something to be “Shabbat worthy”?This Q&A addresses real questions asked during our monthly In The Zone meeting.This video is part 2 of a Q&A session from our monthly “In The Zone” meeting, where real-life questions are discussed through a Torah-based lens.“In The Zone” weekends happen once a month, bringing together people from around the world who are part of MTOI (Messianic Torah Observant Israel). During these sessions, participants are invited to ask honest, practical questions about walking out their faith—covering topics like boundaries, self-control, Shabbat, and daily life decisions.This particular video features the local Beth Shalom Q&A from November 2025.• What are you doing with what you've been given in this life?• Boundaries or protocols?• Using my creativity on Shabbat?• Is it Shabbat worthy?• Boundaries and protocols continued• Know your limits• Doing a visitation on Shabbat?• Take care of yourself• Self-control• Do not love the world—what is the ‘world'?• The Defender?Subscribe to be notified of new content each week.Learn more about MTOI:https://mtoi.orgThe MTOI App https://mtoi.org/download-the-mtoi-appFollow MTOI:https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwidehttps://www.tiktok.com/@mtoi_worldwide Contact MTOI: 

Most therapists have a cancellation policy they never enforce. Dr Brooklyn Storme, an evidence-based private practice business coach for counsellors, psychologists and social workers, breaks down the real cost of weak boundaries and why guilt stops you from protecting your income. Learn how cancellation policies actually strengthen therapeutic relationships, the data on revenue loss, and what changes when you shift from therapist-only to therapist-AND-business-owner identity. Real case studies from Australian private practices.

Isn't it heartless to charge them?" This is where you're confusing compassion with boundary collapse. You can be compassionate AND use the policy. It's not your job to assess the validity of their reason. That's the point of having a policy in writing that they signed. The policy applies regardless of the reason. You can say: 'I understand that was difficult. The cancellation fee still applies as per our agreement.' You're acknowledging their experience AND holding the boundary. Both/and. Not either/or. If you start making exceptions, you're the one deciding whose emergency is 'real enough,' and that IS judgement. FAQ 2: "Won't clients just leave and find a therapist who doesn't enforce cancellation fees?" Some might. The data shows 1-2% leave when you start enforcing. But here's what you're not considering: do you want clients who only stay because you don't have boundaries? Those clients don't respect the therapeutic container. They're perhaps less likely to be invested in the work or the outcomes and they're costing you money. Boundaries help you work with clients who value your time, the structure, and who are committed to the work. You upgrade your client base. Plus, the 95% who stay are now showing up more reliably, which means your income becomes predictable instead of chaotic. FAQ 3: "I work with low-income clients who genuinely can't afford a cancellation fee. What then?" If you're choosing to work with low-income clients, that's a business decision, not a therapeutic one. You need to build that into your business model. Don't make up different rules for each person based on your assessment of their finances that's inconsistent and creates resentment.  FAQ 4: "What's a reasonable cancellation policy timeframe? 24 hours? 48 hours? A week?" Industry standard in Australia is 24-48 hours. I recommend 48 hours because it gives clients enough notice to manage their schedules and gives you enough notice to potentially fill the gap. But here's what matters more than the timeframe is consistency. If you say 48 hours and then accept 12-hour cancellations without charging, your policy is meaningless. Pick a timeframe that feels manageable for you to enforce, put it in writing, and hold it every single time. I've seen therapists with 24-hour policies who enforce consistently get better results than therapists with week-long policies they never apply.   Need more help?

In this candid and grounded coaching session, Christine works with Vanessa, who is navigating a season of major transition—emotionally, physically, and relationally. After a recent car accident, a job layoff, and re-entering the dating world, Vanessa finds herself at a powerful crossroads: learning how to speak honestly about concerns early in a relationship instead of withholding to protect someone else's feelings. Christine helps Vanessa see how "withholding" is often disguised as kindness, but actually blocks true intimacy. Together, they explore how unspoken concerns—especially around health, sleep, and long-term compatibility—can quietly erode connection if left unaddressed. The session becomes a masterclass in how to practice radical honesty with love, maturity, and self-responsibility. If you struggle to speak up in relationships, fear hurting others by being honest, or notice yourself over-adapting to keep the peace, this episode will help you understand why truth is not only necessary—but essential—for real intimacy.   Consider / Ask Yourself: Do you hold back concerns in relationships to avoid conflict or discomfort? Are you afraid that honesty might sabotage connection or intimacy? Do you notice yourself adapting or minimizing your needs early in relationships? Where might you be confusing caretaking with love? Are you dating (or partnering) with clear intention—or avoiding difficult conversations?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Withholding information is not kindness—it creates emotional distance. Honesty early in relationships prevents deeper confusion later. Boundaries are not about changing others; they're about honoring yourself. Emotional intimacy requires courage, not perfection. Speaking truth with love strengthens connection rather than destroying it.   How to Deepen the Work: Notice where you feel a "withhold" in your body—tightness, anxiety, or avoidance. Practice sharing concerns from a grounded, non-blaming place. Reframe honesty as an act of love rather than a risk. Ask yourself: If I don't say this now, how will it affect me later? Focus on breaking patterns of over-adapting or people-pleasing in relationships.   Coaching with Christine Christine has been coaching individuals for over 20 years and works with a small number of private clients at a time to provide deep, personalized support.

In this episode, I'm honored to welcome Dr. Tracy Hicks, a dual-certified family and mental health nurse practitioner with over two decades of clinical experience—and a deeply personal connection to serious mental illness. Dr. Hicks is both the daughter of a parent and the mother of a child with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

The importance of boundaries, especially for those experiencing anxiety. The question is how to set boundaries with compassion and kindness, without being disrespectful or rude to those you love and want to maintain a healthy relationship with. Setting boundaries can be especially challenging for those codependency is plagueing. Boundaries from a Christian Perspective For many, the notion of setting boundaries might initially seem contrary to Christian teachings. Four Types of People in Your Life Understanding the different roles people play in your life is crucial for setting boundaries effectively. People can be categorized into four distinct categories: viewer, voice, vote, and veto. Viewer Voice Vote Veto Determining where individuals fit helps establish the foundation for boundary setting. Four Types of Boundaries Boundaries vary in their strength and purpose, just as the categories of people in your life vary. Invisible Line White Picket Fence Brick Wall Alligator Moat Navigating Codependency Codependency can deeply complicate boundary-setting efforts. The Art of Setting Boundaries Setting boundaries is both an art and a necessity for fostering healthy, biblical relationships.

Smartphones feel inevitable… until you see what early access actually does to a child’s mental health, sleep, and happiness. In this episode, Dr Justin & Kylie Coulson break down new research from Pediatrics and share the family standard that finally ended the phone wars in their home (after one very big mistake). KEY POINTS New study: earlier smartphones = worse outcomes for kids. The four real reasons parents give phones (and why they’re flawed). Why “safety” doesn’t require a smartphone. How to replace phones with smarter solutions (incl. dumb phones + watches). The research consensus: delay improves outcomes. The family rule that ends entitlement (“when you can afford it…”). Boundaries if you already handed over a phone (it’s not too late). The real question: approval now or wellbeing later? QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Kids don’t need smartphones — they need smart parents. And smart parents give their kids dumb phones.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Pediatrics research on smartphone age & outcomes (referenced in episode) SpaceTalk Watch G-Mee Phone Free Range Kids by Lenore Skenazy Lisa Damour — Adolescent Psychology Resources ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Define the real problem you’re solving (safety, logistics, social connection, or training). Offer alternatives (dumb phone, landline, watch). Create a family standard — e.g. “When you can pay for it, you can have it.” If they already have a phone: Bedrooms & bathrooms = no-phone zones No phones at meals or short car rides Time limits & age limits on social media Review + scale back where possible See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we are pulling back the curtain on the wedding industry and share the real conversations that usually only happen behind the scenes. From unhinged client requests and early-career mistakes to red flags, pet peeves, and the boundaries that actually protect your creativity and your income, this episode is equal parts honest, educational, and entertaining.We've both been there. Saying yes when we should've said no. Offering things that sounded great on paper but burned us out in real life. Ignoring our gut because we wanted the booking. Over time, those decisions taught us powerful lessons about pricing, positioning, professionalism, and staying in our own lane as creative business owners. This conversation dives into what we've learned after nearly two decades in the wedding industry, why “more” isn't always better, and how clarity in your brand, boundaries, and communication changes everything.If you've ever felt frustrated on a wedding day, unsure how to handle client expectations, overwhelmed by industry advice, or conflicted about how to grow without losing yourself creatively, this episode is for you. We're talking about what actually moves the needle, what advice we disagree with, and how to build a business that feels aligned, profitable, and sustainable long-term.Sometimes growth doesn't come from doing more.It comes from doing things differently.Listen in, laugh with us, and take what resonates as you continue building a business you're proud of.Timestamps:00:00 - 06:15 | Catching Up & Life Updates: Personal Stories, Family, and Industry Context06:16 - 14:00 | Unhinged Client Requests & Early-Career Lessons Learned14:01 - 20:30 | Red Flags, Boundaries, and Professional Standards with Clients & Teams20:31 - 28:30 | Industry Hot Takes: Pricing, Automation, Branding, and Staying in Your Lane28:31 - 36:30 | Wedding Day Pet Peeves: Collaboration Breakdowns & Content Overload36:31 - 40:27 | Final Reflections: Industry Culture, Professional Respect & Listener EngagementThe next round of The Luxury Mastermind will start in Spring 2026!

Become Your Own Astrologer at quietmindastrology.com/workshop  This week carries a rare mix of intensity and opportunity. With a powerful Capricorn stellium, a Mars–Sun combustion, and a New Moon in Uttara Ashada, you may notice more irritability, conflict, or pressure around you. In this episode, I share how to work with this heat instead of fighting it. This is a moment to build real structures, clarify boundaries, and turn intentions into habits that last. I also talk about why listening becomes just as important as taking action as we shift toward Shravana nakshatra later in the week.

What does real leadership actually look like at home—not just at work? In this episode, I sit down with Mick Hunt, leadership and culture coach, to break down what emotional intelligence, boundaries, and masculine presence really mean for husbands and fathers.   Mick shares powerful insights on why being the "nice guy" often kills polarity and attraction in marriage, how emotional intelligence is a strength (not a soft skill), and why men need intentional transition rituals to show up fully present for their families. We talk about journaling as a daily leadership practice, setting boundaries without control, and how a father's emotional presence shapes the safety and confidence of his kids. This conversation is practical, grounded, and deeply relevant for men who want to lead with backbone and heart.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Introducing Mick Hunt and why leadership matters most at home [2:06] Morgan Freeman narrating Mick's videos and the unexpected connection [2:27] Why emotional intelligence is a critical leadership skill [3:01] How the "nice guy" approach kills polarity and attraction [3:29] Daily practices Mick uses to stay emotionally present with his kids [4:09] The importance of transition rituals between work and home [6:04] Mick's marriage story and reconnecting after decades of friendship [9:07] Emotional intelligence as awareness, regulation, and response [11:01] Why empathy doesn't mean losing authority as a husband or father [14:05] Self-awareness as the foundation of emotional leadership [15:18] Growing up with an emotionally unavailable father [17:13] Mick's simple daily journaling practice [19:17] Why writing trains the brain to separate fact from emotion [21:07] Boundaries as love—not control—in marriage and family [23:54] Defining boundaries through core values [24:16] Protecting "me time" to show up better for others [27:33] Why skipping transition time hurts marriages and families [28:38] A real story of ignoring boundaries and paying the emotional cost [31:27] Masculine presence and modeling healthy marriage for kids [33:11] Being the emotional anchor of the household [35:30] Teaching daughters confidence and sons how to care [38:44] Where to find Mick and his leadership resources     Five Key Takeaways: Emotional intelligence is a leadership advantage, not a weakness, for men at home and at work.  Being agreeable isn't the same as being emotionally present, and "nice guy" energy often kills attraction.  Transition rituals protect your family from your stress, allowing you to show up grounded and present.  Boundaries rooted in core values create safety, not distance, in marriage and parenting.  A father's emotional presence shapes confidence, safety, and leadership in his children.      Links & Resources Mick Hunt Official Website: https://mickhuntofficial.com Instagram: @mickunplugged LinkedIn: @mickhunt Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1428     Closing Remark If this episode challenged how you think about leadership, boundaries, or emotional presence at home, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

Nick Reiner reportedly admits to killing his parents. That alone should end the conversation. But it doesn't — because what he says next reframes the entire case. Instead of focusing on the act, he reportedly describes his incarceration as a "conspiracy." And that single shift raises questions that can't be ignored.Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke — who ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — breaks down the behavioral patterns emerging from publicly reported information in this case. This isn't about diagnosing mental illness or debating sympathy. It's about how people behave when consequences arrive.A critical focus is what reportedly happened after the killings. According to reports, there was calm movement, time, decision-making, and navigation — not immediate collapse. Nick reportedly checked into a hotel and moved through LA for 24 hours. Robin explains why analysts pay close attention to this phase, and why serious mental illness does not automatically eliminate awareness, planning, or accountability.The defense will likely invoke the M'Naghten rule — the same standard that freed David Carmichael, a father who planned his son's murder but was found not criminally responsible because a psychotic delusion changed what he believed he was doing. Carmichael's medication triggered his break. Nick's medication was changed one month before the killings.But Carmichael had no history of manipulation. Nick Reiner has 30 years of it. Experts repeatedly told the Reiner family he was "lying or manipulating them." More than 18 treatment facilities cashed checks and released him after 30 days.Robin explains how families don't ignore warning signs — they adapt to them. When instability lasts for years, chaos becomes routine. Intervention fatigue sets in. Boundaries soften. And that adaptation can quietly become dangerous.This episode doesn't ask for sympathy. It asks harder questions — about behavior, responsibility, and why words that redirect blame deserve scrutiny.#NickReiner #RobinDreeke #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #FBI #BehaviorAnalysis #InsanityDefense #DavidCarmichael #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Have you ever felt like you have done everything "right" and you still hit a stress ceiling? You have gone to therapy, set boundaries, practiced self-care, learned regulation, and yet you still find yourself snapping, shutting down, or running on empty. This episode explores what it can look like to move beyond coping and into true emotional capacity. Not a life without stress, but a wider internal ability to meet life as it is, without collapsing into burnout or disconnection. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof (founder of BrainBased.com and the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification) and Jennifer Wallace (Neurosomatic Psychedelic Preparation and Integration Guide, founder of Sacred Synapse) are joined by RaQuel Hopkins, a therapist and certified coach known for her work on capacity and adult development. Together, they unpack the difference between resilience, distress tolerance, and capacity, why "regulation" can sometimes become suppression, and how relating to emotions as data can create more choice. They also explore boundaries through the lens of self-trust, and why honoring "I do not want to" can be a meaningful step toward recovery and growth.   Timestamps: 00:00 – Why "doing everything right" can still feel like a ceiling 06:30 – What capacity means (and why it is about who you become) 14:30 – Resilience vs distress tolerance vs capacity 23:30 – Emotional strength, fragility, and the regulation misconception 34:30 – Boundaries, self-trust, and choice vs depletion 46:30 – Protective emotions, curiosity, and integration 56:30 – Corporate environments, pressure, and being human at work 1:03:00 – Closing reflections and where to find RaQuel 1:05:30 – Listener invitation and next steps (trial + workshop) Key Takeaways: Capacity is not just "holding more." It can be about meeting life as it is and adapting without losing yourself. Regulation is not the same thing as calm. It is about modulation and appropriate responsiveness. Emotional strength includes feeling emotions without being defined by them. Emotions can be information, not directives. A "hard no" can sometimes be a signal of depletion, not clarity. Self-trust can reduce the need to announce boundaries. Protective patterns once helped you survive. Growth can start with curiosity rather than judgment.

What happens after the act matters. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke says analysts pay close attention to post-offense behavior — and in the Nick Reiner case, the reported timeline raises serious questions.According to reports, Nick didn't collapse. He checked into a Santa Monica hotel. He navigated Los Angeles for 24 hours. There was calm movement, time, decision-making. Robin explains why serious mental illness does not automatically eliminate awareness, planning, or accountability.Nick reportedly admits to killing his parents Rob and Michele Reiner. But instead of focusing on the act, he describes his incarceration as a "conspiracy." That reframe is exactly what behavioral analysts examine — how people respond when consequences finally arrive.The defense will likely point to the M'Naghten rule, which doesn't require proving Nick didn't know right from wrong — only that he didn't understand the "nature and quality" of his actions. It's the same standard that freed David Carmichael, a father who researched murder charges, planned his son's killing, and still walked out of a psychiatric facility after two years. Carmichael's psychotic break was triggered by medication. Nick's medication was changed one month before the killings.But there's a critical difference. Carmichael had no history of manipulation. Nick Reiner has 30 years of it. His own father said experts repeatedly warned the family Nick was "lying or manipulating them." More than 18 treatment facilities cycled him through 30-day stays that satisfied the system without producing change.Robin explains how families normalize chaos over time. They don't ignore warning signs — they adapt to them. Boundaries soften. Intervention fatigue sets in. And that adaptation can become dangerous.The defense exists. The question is whether a jury will believe it from someone who's spent a lifetime ensuring no one should.#NickReiner #RobinDreeke #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #InsanityDefense #DavidCarmichael #FBI #HiddenKillers #BehaviorAnalysis #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Is Tzaraat (sometimes translated incorrectly as leprosy) a medical ailment or a spiritual one?The Tanakh speaks of several instances of people afflicted by Tzaraat. What causes this condition?

Becca Worgan is back on the pod — World's Strongest Natural Woman (2023), now fully qualified physio, coach, business builder… and still the kind of woman who'll casually admit she needs hypnotherapy to deadlift again. (Relatable. Terrifying. Iconic.)This episode is a proper catch-up: injury reality checks, the difference between “sending it” and being reckless, why strength training is basically adult life insurance, and how your brain can literally create pain before you even touch the bar.Timestamps (5–8)0:00 – Becca's back: natural Worlds winner, and the 2024 comp chaos that nearly broke her 1:10 – Pulling out of Worlds: “I'm not enjoying this… so why am I here?” 4:10 – “Fun comps” vs “I'm here to win”: how the competitive fire comes back without self-destruction 6:10 – The sport is growing fast: bigger athlete pools, higher standards, harder pathway 8:05 – The weird culture around being natural (and why it shouldn't be “uncool” to be clean) 15:10 – Strength training for normal women: mood, bones, confidence, daily-life strength (yes, even for picking up chunky babies) 22:35 – Fear in lifting: learning how to fail safely + Becca's deadlift panic spiral 24:55 – Hypnotherapy: the brain pain loop, rewiring fear, and why it actually worked 41:20 – Boundaries + people pleasing: “If I don't enjoy it, why am I doing it?” 46:05 – New priorities at 30: athlete identity takes a back seat to business, family, and sanity 58:10 – Becca's message to women: it's never too late to start — and you're not going to get bulky (she's tried)Key takeawaysQuitting isn't weakness. Sometimes pulling out is the most elite decision you can make.“Not enjoying it” is data. If your body and brain are screaming, maybe stop calling it discipline and start calling it a warning light.Strength training isn't a “gym girl” hobby — it's basic life maintenance. Better mood, stronger bones, more confidence, more independence.Your brain can create pain before the lift even happens. Fear + previous injury = your nervous system pre-loading the panic.Learning to fail safely reduces fear fast. Confidence isn't “I'll never fail.” It's “I know what to do if I do.”Boundaries are built through regret (unfortunately). Becca's learning to say no before she burns herself into the ground.You're not too late. The only “too late” is waiting until life forces you to start. Hosted on Acast.

When life feels overwhelming, we often push harder instead of listening inward. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Charu sits down with therapist and nature-based practitioner Mary Rothwell to explore what plants can teach us about thriving. This conversation is for anyone feeling stressed, emotionally drained, or stuck in people-pleasing patterns. You will learn practical, grounded ways to notice what you need, set healthier boundaries, and reconnect with your body and environment, starting with small moments of nature in daily life. About the Guest: Mary Rothwell is a licensed therapist, speaker, and podcast host with more than 35 years of mental health experience. She is also a Master Gardener and a certified forest therapy practitioner, and she has a book coming out called Nature Knows. Key Takeaways: Stop defaulting to “try harder” when you feel burnout; more effort can backfire, like overwatering a plant. Use your body as data: notice where tension sits and what actually helps you recover. Boundaries are not about shutting people out; they protect what you need to stay nourished. Start small with nature: a houseplant, a neighborhood tree, or five minutes outside counts. Practice “sense-based mindfulness”: breathe, then notice what you see, hear, smell, and feel. Healthy connection matters: like ecosystems, people thrive with support, not isolation.

Every one of us knows what it feels like to love people who don't always love us back. Some of the deepest wounds don't come from strangers — they come from kinfolk. People who share our blood but not our values. People who take our time, drain our peace, and expect access without accountability.   The Bible does not hide this reality. It speaks honestly about takers, users, manipulators, and relatives who bring strife instead of peace.   Today's message is not about bitterness. It's about clarity, wisdom, and boundaries that honor God.

What if a play party could be a personal development practice in disguise? In this episode, Christina sits down with Yossef Sagi, sexuality and relationship coach and the visionary behind Mystery Temple, Almost Temple, and the Kinky Classroom. A former teacher of Kabbalah and children's education, Yossef shares his journey from sexual repression to integrating the erotic as a path to healing, growth, and authenticity. This session also includes live contributions from WeDeepen Love Club members Lauri and Mike, who share real-world experiences navigating these spaces. Topics Discussed: The difference between Mystery Temple (a sober, intentional play space) and Almost Temple (a practice in anticipation). Why learning the biology and psychology of kink can enhance even the most "vanilla" relationship. Why these spaces are strictly sober, and what changes when "social lubricants" are removed. Boundaries vs. agreements, and how couples can create safety while allowing exploration. Why consent training is a non-negotiable foundation for a high-integrity environment. How "erotic avatars" can help you access dormant parts of your psyche.

In this episode of Adulting With Autism, therapist, coach, and author Shannon Petrovich joins to talk about toxic relationships, trauma bonds, and boundaries for neurodivergent adults.​ Shannon, author of Out of the FOG Into the CLEAR and creator of the TherapistTalks channel on YouTube, explains why many autistic and sensitive people are vulnerable to manipulation and gaslighting.

If you're saying “my ex is a narcissist”… listen first.If you've spent more than five minutes on TikTok, Reddit, or Instagram, you've seen it everywhere: “My co-parent is a narcissist.” And we get why that label feels validating. It gives your pain a name.But here's the problem: labels don't carry weight in court — behavior does. And when you lead with a diagnosis you can't prove, you risk looking reactive, emotional, or unreliable in the one place where credibility matters most.In this episode, we're joined by two powerhouse custody attorneys — Kristen Holstrom and Samantha McBride (the Custody Queens) — to explain what actually helps you win: specific facts, consistent documentation, strong boundaries, and a strategy that keeps you from getting pulled into emotional warfare.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy calling your ex a narcissist can backfire legally and emotionallyThe difference between traits vs. a true clinical diagnosis (and why it rarely shows up in court)What judges care about most in custody cases: co-parenting and facilitating the other parent's relationshipHow to build a case using patterns, timelines, and evidenceWhy social media is forever (even if you delete it)How co-parenting apps like OurFamilyWizard can protect you and create documentation“Chess, not checkers”: how to stop reacting and start controlling your side of the streetWhy custody evaluations can go sideways when you show up with labels instead of factsKey Takeaways (AKA: The stuff that saves you money and sanity)1) Labels feel good. Evidence wins cases.Courts don't decide custody based on “he's a narcissist.” They decide based on what happened, how often, and how it impacts the children.2) Your credibility is everything.If you sound like you're diagnosing your ex, you may unintentionally look like the unstable one — especially in high-stakes settings like custody evaluations.3) Social media can cost you custody time and settlement leverage.Posting, reposting, liking, or commenting on “narcissist” content can be used against you. Even deleted posts can come back via screenshots.4) Boundaries are strategy — not weakness.Tools like OurFamilyWizard don't mean you failed. They mean you're building guardrails and a paper trail.5) Power is preparation.When you're organized, strategic, and documenting the right things, you get your power back.Action Steps (Do this after you finish the episode)Drop the label. Keep the facts. Replace “He's a narcissist” with: “He missed 7 pickups in 30 days.”Build a timeline. Dates, times, missed exchanges, late pickups, medical info withheld, school info excluded.

If you're healing from narcissistic abuse and want healthy relationships, this episode is for you. Know who you're dealing with.  Know who you are.

On this Freedom Friday, we wrapped up our weekly theme of “New Year, New Focus” with the gospel! We then had Dr. Henry Cloud join us to discuss the true purpose and process of creating boundaries as outlined in the Bible, and he debunked the normalized term "ghosting." Dr. Cloud is an acclaimed leadership expert, clinical psychologist, and New York Times best-selling author. He has also written several books, including the popular book “Boundaries.” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Sometimes nothing about you changes. The only thing that changes is where you are. Show Notes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor uses a simple travel habit to unpack a powerful lesson about self-worth. Every time he travels internationally, he checks exchange rates. The same dollar that leaves the United States suddenly becomes more valuable the moment he lands somewhere else. Nothing about the dollar changes. The location does. That idea becomes the framework for a deeper conversation about feeling undervalued in life, work, and relationships. If you feel unseen or underappreciated, it may not be because your value is low. It may be because you're in the wrong environment. Baylor challenges listeners to think of themselves as a currency. Not just financially, but emotionally, mentally, and relationally. Before asking whether others value you, you have to know your own standard value. Without that, the world will always try to get you at a discount. He explains why allowing discounted versions of yourself is dangerous. Once people get used to paying less for you, they resist ever paying full price. Boundaries become the guardrails that protect your worth. This episode also dives into the difference between increasing your value versus changing your environment. Sometimes growth is about new skills. Other times it's about realizing you've outgrown the room you're in. Baylor closes with a powerful metaphor of the Dead Sea, a body of water that dies because it has no outlet. When value, energy, and purpose stop flowing, stagnation sets in. The same happens to people who stay trapped in places that don't recognize their worth. You don't need to become more. You need to go where what you already are is valued. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why your value can change without you changing at all • The danger of letting people get used to a discounted version of you • How boundaries help protect self-worth • The difference between increasing value and changing environments • Why outgrowing people and places is sometimes necessary • How stagnation kills potential Featured Quote "The same dollar didn't change. The location did. Sometimes that's true about you too."

In this episode, we're talking about the complexities of situationships. Because they are so common, we need to have a real conversation about the emotional dynamics, boundaries, and the importance of clarity in relationships so people who want a long-term relationship can make the adjustments to how they approach these conversations and feel empowered to be honest about what they want and know when to exit before falling into unfulfilling relationship patterns.

On this episode of Lip Service, the crew sits down with comedian Godfrey for a wide-ranging conversation that blends humor, intellect, and raw honesty. Godfrey breaks down why the best comedians are often the most informed, how reading and curiosity shape great conversation, and why “double intelligence” is essential to comedy. He opens up about funding and independently releasing his stand-up special Rebel With a Cause, sharing behind-the-scenes stories involving unexpected support, industry politics, and trusting the right people. The conversation also dives into discipline, health, food prep on the road, gym routines, and why taking care of yourself is non-negotiable—especially as you get older. Along the way, Godfrey gives candid takes on relationships, dating dynamics, masculinity, spiritual skepticism, and why he refuses to follow trends just to fit in. Unfiltered, hilarious, and thoughtful—this episode is classic Lip Service energy with a deeper look into how Godfrey thinks, works, and lives.
