This week on the podcast, Laura and Jennifer continue the six to fifteen month essential series. They'll guide parents through evolving daily routines, emphasizing flexibility, predictability, and developmental readiness. Throughout, they talk about why routines are tools, not rigid rules: families can enjoy late park trips, adjust bedtimes, rely on “reset” points (like the morning wake time), and use consistent pre-nap and bedtime rituals to anchor days even when timing shifts.

The energy of Gevurah- time for focus, solid boundaries and peak performance
What kind of walls are you building around your family? Are they strong enough to protect what matters most, or are there cracks forming? In this special series of 'Average Joe' conversations, Jim Ramos closes it out with long time friend Tyler Stoller, a professional in building fortification, to bring this metaphor to life. Together, they unpack what it really means to fortify your house, not just physically, but spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. Because the truth is, protection isn't passive. If you're not intentionally guarding the hearts in your life, distractions, temptations, and outside noise will find a way in. Jim's newest book, Guardrails: Ten Boundaries for an Unbreakable Marriage will be releasing in April 2026. Get your copy today at https://tinyurl.com/guardrails115.

In Part 2 of our conversation with Jessie Notarius—known in the wrestling world as The Unwilting Tatiana—we take a deeper dive into self-worth, boundaries, and personal growth. Jessie reflects on what it truly means to deserve respect, understanding, and equality in relationships, and why settling for less can cost us valuable time and energy. Through thoughtful discussion, we explore how mindfulness and self-awareness can help us build stronger self-esteem and healthier connections. The conversation also uncovers the contrast between confidence in performance environments—like stepping into the wrestling ring—and the self-doubt that can creep into everyday life. Jessie shares how she manages anxiety, organizes her responsibilities, and approaches challenges with a problem-solving mindset. We also discuss: • The power of gratitude and shifting perspective • How to engage with negativity in a constructive way • The importance of asking for help and building knowledge • Translating wrestling preparation into real-life organization This episode is a powerful reminder that the way we speak to ourselves shapes the life we create. ⸻ • Subscribe to the podcast on your favorite podcast app • Support us on Patreon for ad-free episodes: https://www.patreon.com/c/fishingwithoutbait • Pick up our book: “Learn to Fish Without Bait: A 365-Day Mindfulness Journal and Adult Coloring Book”

In this transformative episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters speaks with Kristen Crabtree—author, transformation guide, and creator of the Paramour Paradox—about her extraordinary journey from trauma and survival to truth, empowerment, and self reclamation. Kristen shares her lived experience surviving childhood rape, sexual assault, and a 22 year psychologically abusive marriage defined by control, manipulation, financial restriction, and fear. After leaving without clarity, she began rebuilding her agency, getting sober, and breaking free from the “victim loop.” Kristen explains how meditation—especially through Dr. Joe Dispenza's work and Becoming Supernatural—helped her understand emotional addiction, quiet her mind, and reconnect with her truth. She introduces the Paramour Paradox, a guided by source ecosystem centered on identity excavation and becoming. Her rebuilt book, Be the You That's More You Than You've Ever Been, uses a mental–emotional–physical–energy body framework and her signature archeologist → artifact → architect model. Kristen also shares key tools such as the peaks and valleys timeline, the Tree of Becoming, time consciousness practices, and the concept of the “web,” where small internal shifts ripple outward. The conversation explores: • Escaping abuse and reclaiming agency • Emotional sobriety and meditation without fear • Personal empowerment, boundaries, and authenticity • Rewriting the victim story to serve the future self • The Paramour Paradox ecosystem: journal, app, community, course, T shirts, card deck, and free resources • Her separate work as a divorce coach, especially for lesbians leaving psychologically abusive marriages Kristen's message is clear: transformation begins when we stop performing, tell the truth, and become who we were always meant to be.

In this powerful episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters speaks with Mr. Jay, a betrayal trauma practitioner, author, and relationship coach, about the hidden wounds, identity fractures, and deep emotional fallout caused by betrayal trauma. Framed within the idea that “Dead America” is where truth cuts through the haze and hope begins, this conversation explores how betrayal impacts the nervous system, the sense of self, and the ability to trust again. Mr. Jay explains that betrayal trauma requires dependency—which means it can come from a spouse, parent, job, one's own body, or even a creator. Focusing on spousal infidelity, he emphasizes that healing must address childhood wounds, attachment injuries, and fractured identity, not just the betrayer's actions. He defines betrayal blindness as a survival response that causes people to explain away red flags until “discovery day,” when the truth finally breaks through. The discussion explores why betrayal trauma is uniquely devastating: it is secretive, deeply personal, and capable of damaging a person's past, present, and future. Mr. Jay breaks down reconciliation realities, responsibility without self‑blame, and how to build boundaries rooted in personal values rather than fear. Listeners will learn: What betrayal trauma really is How childhood wounds shape adult relationships Why betrayal blindness protects the nervous system How to rebuild trust and identity The truth about love, forgiveness, and repeated release How purpose can emerge from pain Mr. Jay closes with encouragement and resources for healing at mrjrelationshipcoach.com, reminding listeners that breakthrough is possible even after the deepest betrayal. Keywords: Mr. Jay, betrayal trauma, betrayal blindness, infidelity recovery, boundaries, forgiveness, relationship healing, childhood wounds, nervous system trauma, identity repair, reconciliation, emotional recovery, Dead America Podcast, Ed Watters.

Host Edith welcomes regular guest and co-host Teri M. Brown to discuss her upcoming novel “Peg Unhinged,” releasing April 21, 2026. Brown introduces Peg, a near-50 woman navigating menopause symptoms, brain fog, hot flashes, and anger while her husband abruptly leaves to date younger women. The conversation explores how women's health concerns are often dismissed, cultural pressures on women to stay quiet and “perfect,” and the double standards women face in professional settings. Brown explains the book's inspiration from reading “Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret,” and describes humorous yet realistic scenes including disastrous dating-app encounters and frank “conversations with God” chapters. They also touch on Peg's evolving friendships, her rediscovering self-worth, and Brown's next writing idea involving Incan quipu storytelling, plus where to find her online and the importance of reviews.00:00 Welcome and Introductions01:24 New Book Premise03:02 Menopause Reality Check04:14 From Margaret to Peg05:50 Is Peg Based on Teri10:42 Culture Aging and Freedom15:21 Menopause Rage Moments16:49 Double Standards for Women21:44 Husband Leaves and Dating Apps26:39 Why Peg Stays Likable28:31 Friends Who No Longer Fit31:25 Finding Herself Again32:18 Worth and Wake Up33:45 Romance Not the Point34:45 Hormones and Teen Brain35:22 God Talks Interludes38:08 Writing Humor Tightrope41:39 Making Menopause Funny46:54 Write What You Feel49:27 Boundaries and Parenting54:07 Team Peg Wrap Up54:40 Next Book Quipu Mystery57:41 Where to Find Teri58:23 Reviews and GoodbyeIf you like what we do, you might consider buying us a coffee.

In the later recorded calls from the Washington County Detention Center, Joseph Duggar describes his solitary cell as a prayer closet. He reports a spiritual breakthrough. He reads his wife Kendra a devotional about boundaries — Moses, Aaron, and Pharaoh and their distinct boundary failures — and describes the content as "really interesting." Joseph faces Florida charges of lewd and lascivious molestation of a child under 12 — a life felony carrying a mandatory minimum of 25 years — for allegedly violating a nine-year-old's most fundamental physical boundaries. The disconnect between the spiritual content and the allegations is complete.Kendra's language across the calls reflects acute distress — she warns Joseph not to trust anyone, describes fortifying defenses, and states that surviving is the best she can currently offer. Retired FBI Counterintelligence Chief Robin Dreeke analyzes the behavioral patterns: how the closed system channels crisis processing through inward spiritual growth rather than engagement with the allegations, and how the alleged victim remains entirely absent from every piece of communication in the public record.The investigative question that now dominates this case concerns the identity of the family present during the 2020 Panama City Beach vacation. According to the arrest affidavit, Joseph allegedly admitted to the conduct twice prior to arrest — once to the victim's father in a direct confrontation, once during a call monitored by a Tontitown detective working with Bay County authorities. No credible source has identified the alleged victim, consistent with privacy protections for minors.However, the public record surrounding the Caldwell family — Kendra's parents and siblings — presents circumstantial evidence that has drawn scrutiny. Paul Caldwell initiated a crowdfunding campaign citing legal fees and emergency housing with language describing a need to "protect ourselves." Post-arrest family social media was changed to exclude Joseph, Kendra, and their children. Property records show real estate ties between the families, and in recorded jail calls, Kendra discussed her parents' move-out timeline. The Caldwell family has children in the same age range as the alleged victim, who was nine during the 2020 vacation. Both families shared the trip. No confirmation of a connection exists — but the documented behavior since the arrest raises the possibility of something far more personal than familial embarrassment.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Boundaries in Love: Discernment, Flattery, and Drawing Near to God Host Shirah Chante welcomes teens, parents, and youth leaders to Teens Draw Near to God and explains the show's purpose of helping teenagers know God through the Bible. Continuing her poem “Fair Love” from her poetry book Jaundiced View, she focuses on the lines about “sweetness of sound,” warning that flattering words can be insincere and used to manipulate, especially when teens feel insecure or rush relationships.

Recovery from knee surgery goes sideways when a trusted friend secretly brings a new kitten into a home with medically fragile cats, triggering panic, confrontation, and an awkward rush to fix the damage. Another letter dives into a family crisis involving an ongoing celebrity scam where logic, proof, and loved ones can't break through denial. There's also a brutal financial nightmare after a bank account is hacked, leaving someone locked out of their own money and stuck paying for a crime they didn't commit. Boundaries, trust, control, and hard decisions collide in brutal, messy situations where there are no easy fixes—just fallout.

Send us Fan MailLet's be honest—some of us aren't bad at boundaries… we're just too good at explaining them.In this episode, we're talking about the kind of boundaries that don't come with a paragraph, a disclaimer, or a full emotional backstory. The ones that are clear, direct, and—if we're being real—a little uncomfortable at first.We break down why so many of us feel the need to over-explain, how that actually weakens our boundaries, and what it looks like to communicate limits without turning it into a whole speech.If you've ever said “I just want to explain…” before setting a boundary, this conversation is for you.This isn't about being cold or dismissive—it's about being grounded, clear, and honest about what works for you.Support the showDisclaimer: This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not a substitute for therapy or professional mental health care.Want more?

In this episode, we chat: What it really looks like to have a strong internal "no"—the kind that doesn't wobble when it comes to your standards and principles—and why some of our no's feel clear while others feel… negotiable. What you'll learn in this episode: What it looks like when your "no" isn't fully decided—and why you find yourself going back and forth on things you already said were standards. The subtle difference between being led by your feelings versus being led by your principles—and how that shows up in your tone, how quickly you're able to respond, and your overall clarity. The four ways people with a strong internal "no" move—what makes it easier for them to stay solid in their decisions and boundaries without going back and forth. IG: @clearernotlouder
The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
If you have communication problems, you're probably not fighting about what you think you're fighting about. And that's good news. Because the real issue is usually conflict & repair, not the “topic” and with clear boundaries, you can start to repair trust instead of repeating the same fight. Dr. Lisa is joined by Mika Ross, a Nationally Board Certified, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and relationship coach based in Missouri. Mika has over 18 years of experience in the field, specializing in individual and couples therapy. Together, they unpack what conflict resolution in relationships really looks like, why defensiveness in relationships keeps couples stuck, and how to stop arguing with your partner when every conversation starts feeling loaded. This conversation is full of real-life examples about the moments that so often turn into the same exhausting fight on repeat. Dr. Lisa and Mika talk about how to repair a relationship after a fight, how to stop fighting with your partner without chasing resolution too fast, and how to repair a relationship by getting underneath criticism and into the softer emotions that are usually driving the whole thing. You'll also hear why even well-intentioned concern can land as criticism, why old conflict patterns have so much staying power, and what it looks like to come back together in a way that builds trust instead of doing more damage. As you listen, I'd love for you to consider: What are you and your partner really fighting about underneath the surface? Where are criticism and defensiveness getting in the way of connection? And what might change if the goal stopped being to win the argument and started being to repair the relationship? Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why You Keep Having the Same Fight 06:06 When Criticism Starts the Spiral 17:45 When Good Intentions Land Wrong 23:45 Boundaries, Hurt, and Repair 34:48 Why You Don't Need to Fix It Right Away 43:23 What Healthy Conflict Repair Looks Like 56:18 Getting the Right Support And if this conversation brought up that tender awareness that you and your partner keep missing each other in the same painful ways, I'd love to offer you a next step. You can schedule a free consultation with me or someone on my team at Growing Self as a kind, thoughtful place to begin. It's a private, secure space where you can share what's been happening in your relationship, what you hope will feel different, and let us help you find the right support for you.

If you've ever felt like you're being pulled in two directions—trying to show up fully at work while also wanting to be present at home—you're not alone. So many working moms feel like they're constantly falling short somewhere. You're answering emails while thinking about your kids… or sitting with your kids while your mind is still at work. And no matter what you do, it feels like it's never quite enough. In this episode, I talk with Sarah about what actually helps when you're living in that tension every day. Not unrealistic balance. Not doing more. But setting boundaries that protect your time, your energy, and your relationships—without piling on more guilt. Because the goal isn't to do everything perfectly. It's to create a life where you can actually be present in the moments that matter. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why working parents often feel like they're “failing at everything”—and what's really going on beneath that feeling How to build a “compartmentalization muscle” so you can be present at work and at home The importance of clearly defining and communicating your boundaries (and why most of us skip this step) A simple boundary example—like blocking protected time for your kids—that actually works in real life How technology quietly pulls your attention away (and what to do about it) The powerful shift of saying “no” without overexplaining or apologizing What to do when your boundaries are crossed—or when you didn't realize you needed one until it was too late How the “Sunday List” can reduce mental load and stop tasks from constantly nagging at you What “transferring hours” means—and how to use it to create more flexibility in your schedule Why you don't have to do everything at your child's school to be a present, loving parent Resources Mentioned Sarah's book: The Art of the Juggling Act: A Bite-Sized Guide for Working Parents Learn more about your ad choices.

In this powerful episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters speaks with Garret Biss, retired Marine Corps pilot, recovery coach, TEDx speaker, and advocate for veterans navigating the difficult transition from military to civilian life. Garret brings clarity to the often misunderstood crisis facing veterans today, explaining why the true veteran death toll may reach 44 per day when accounting for overdoses, high risk behaviors, and indirect self harm rooted in emotional pain. Garret describes the unspoken trauma of transition, where the loss of identity, belonging, purpose, and meaning can be as destabilizing as combat itself. He explains how meaning increases a person's capacity to endure suffering—and how its absence can leave veterans vulnerable to depression, addiction, and emotional numbing. The conversation explores the civilian–veteran disconnect, nonprofit messaging that unintentionally labels veterans as “broken,” and military cultural norms that discourage help seeking by glorifying endurance and comparison. Listeners will learn about: • Why younger/post 9/11 veterans often feel disconnected from traditional groups like the VFW • How survival state thinking affects reintegration and treatment outcomes • The unique challenges of justice involved veterans, a high risk subset needing specialized support • The importance of nonprofit collaboration to improve measurable results • Garret's TEDx practices: Be the connection, express your truth, seek more joy • Boundaries, self worth, and Ed's “muddy shoe life” metaphor for shedding harmful influences Garret closes with a message of hope: every person is lovable, worthy of peace, and capable of healing. He shares a free resource, The Warrior Reset, offering four daily self care practices in under 15 minutes at thewarriorreset.com, and invites listeners to connect with him at garretbiss.com and on LinkedIn.

Friendship heartbreak hits differently when it's your child. In this episode, I sit down with child development specialist Dr. Robyn Silverman to talk about bullying, boundaries, rejection, and what to say when your child feels left out. We dive into the moments that trigger us as parents, especially when their pain mirrors our own childhood wounds, and how to respond with steadiness instead of panic. If you've ever felt your chest tighten when your child says, “They don't want to play with me,” this conversation is for you. We talk about helping kids define what a good friend actually is, building identity from the inside out, and supporting them through social struggles without bulldozing the situation or blaming them. This episode is about raising confident kids who know they are enough, even when friendships shift. What we discuss: • Why fifth grade and early adolescence can feel like a social turning point • How to help kids define what a true friend looks like • Why proximity friendships don't always work long term • The power of identity and “I am” statements • How negative self talk creates a confidence feedback loop • What to say when your child says they're being bullied • What not to do in the heat of the moment • How to respond without escalating the situation • Supporting social skill growth without labeling your child as the problem • The importance of repair when we as parents don't handle it perfectly • Why parenting always offers a do over To connect with Dr. Robyn Silverman follow her on Instagram @drrobynsilverman, check out all her resources at https://drrobynsilverman.com/ and buy her book “How to Talk To Kids About Anything”: https://parenting.drrobynsilverman.com/book#heading-t_xdY060m2H 00:00 – When Friendship Hurts: The Question Every Parent Faces 01:10 – Meet Dr. Robyn Silverman: Helping Parents Navigate Hard Conversations 02:22 – Why Talking About Friendship and Bullying Matters 03:06 – The Childhood Experience That Inspired Dr. Silverman's Work 07:08 – Teaching Kids What a Good Friend Actually Is 10:52 – Why Kids Stay in Friendships That Don't Treat Them Well 12:28 – Helping Kids Find Friendships That Fit Who They Are 15:02 – How Self-Identity Shapes Social Confidence 19:47 – What To Do When Your Child Says They're Being Bullied 21:13 – The First Words to Say When Your Child Opens Up 25:34 – Rebuilding Self-Worth After Friendship Rejection 27:11 – When Your Child Feels Like No One Wants to Be Their Friend 31:13 – Avoiding the Blame Trap When Kids Struggle Socially 33:37 – Parenting Is the Ultimate Do-Over 36:12 – A Simple Exercise to Help Kids Choose Better Friends Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

Grace & Grit Podcast: Helping Women Everywhere Live Happier, Healthier and More Fit Lives

Many midlife women feel exhausted not because they do too much, but because they've spent years leaving themselves out of their own decisions.

Where do you struggle most with boundaries?

What does it really mean to be Growth Ready?In this episode, Steve Mellor sits down with Joe Smarro for a deeply honest conversation about identity, self-awareness, and the cost of living for everyone else. Joe shares why growth starts with curiosity, why so much of our identity is inherited rather than chosen, and why external validation keeps so many high-performers stuck. Together, they explore the tension between the person we present to the world and the person we sit with in private, and how closing that gap can transform the way we lead, live, and grow.About the guest: Joe Smarro is a speaker, trainer, former Marine, and former police officer who now leads SolutionPoint+, where he and his team teach human behavior, de-escalation, wellness, resilience, and emotional intelligence.Key takeaways:What it means to be “Growth Ready”Curiosity, self-awareness, and introspectionIdentity vs. titles and external validationThe “representative self” vs. the private selfWhy high-performers get stuck in fear and safetyThe cost of denying yourselfBoundaries, selfishness, and self-worthTherapy, healing, and emotional intelligenceThe obituary exercise and legacyAligning your life with what matters mostConnect with Joe SmarroSolutionPoint+ websiteJoe Smarro's books on AmazonErnie & Joe: Crisis Cops on HBOInstagramLinkedInFacebookSend us Fan MailSupport the showConnect with Steve MellorStay connected and keep growing with Steve:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-mellor-cc/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/coachstevemellorBook Steve to speak at your next event → www.stevemellorspeaks.comSupport the GrowthReady Podcast by leaving a 5-star rating → Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/growthready-podcast/id1406082163Connect with GrowthReadyJoin the community and keep your growth journey going:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/wearegrowthready/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/growthreadypodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/growthreadywithcoachstevemellorOfficial Website - https://growthready.com/----This podcast was produced on Riverside and released via ...
What if midlife isn't a crisis… but a wake-up call? In this episode, I share why I made the decision to evolve this podcast from Co-Parenting with Confidence into Led from Within — and why that shift matters so deeply, not just for me, but for you. What I've seen over and over again in my work is that the real challenge isn't relationships or co-parenting — it's that many of us were never taught how to live honestly within our own lives. Midlife has a way of bringing everything to the surface. The silence, the misalignment, the roles we've outgrown — it all becomes impossible to ignore. But what if this isn't something breaking… what if it's something opening? This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and begin asking yourself the deeper questions that lead to real alignment, clarity, and truth. In this episode, you'll learn: Midlife is not a crisis — it's a recalibration Misalignment builds slowly over time, not overnight Boundaries, truth, and regulation are life skills — not relationship fixes You don't need to keep living on autopilot You are allowed to choose differently now Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with anyone who might need a fresh perspective on co-parenting!

In this episode of Cross Talk, hosts Daniel and Charles explore whether borders are biblical, concluding they are indeed God-ordained. Drawing from Scripture, they highlight examples like the Garden of Eden and God's covenant with Abraham to show that borders have always served to limit, define, and protect. They connect biblical principles to contemporary border debates, cautioning against purely emotional or political arguments. The hosts also reflect on the church's spiritual boundaries and Jesus' acknowledgment of earthly governance. Throughout, they emphasize approaching cultural conversations with humility, biblical wisdom, and a commitment to truth over winning arguments.

Jim Ramos: "Cultivating a shared journey towards Jesus strengthens marriage intrinsically; the closer couples move to Christ, the closer they become to each other." Jim Ramos: "Raising children and managing a stress-filled life require intentional prioritization—placing marriage second only to Jesus—otherwise, chaos undermines core relationships." Jim Ramos: "The story loops we build through unguarded conversations and stories can open doors for rumors, damaging trust." Jim Ramos: "Personal renewal in marriage is never too late; repentance and redirection through guardrails are always available, transforming failure into unbreakable bonds." Dr. Kim: "I think guardrails in marriage, to me, just pictures, man, you're protecting your marriage." Dr. Kim: "If we begin to think we're not vulnerable, we're really in trouble because we all are." Dr. Kim: "I think Satan wants us to fool us into thinking that he's not causing any trouble or that he's just maybe not even there." Dr. Kim: "I think when a man gets it, everyone wins, right? So when men step into that role, then the women naturally get rally around it." Dr. Kim: "I think intentionality, we don't realize how much that makes a difference. And our wives notice that." Time to Talk About it: What is one guardrail you'd like to see implemented in your marriage to strengthen and protect it? What is one step we can take today to make our marriage more of a priority? How can you begin to support one another spiritually so that your relationship with Jesus will grow? How can you see that shaping your marriage?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Ret. FBI Behavioral Unit Chief Robin Dreeke and Tony Brueski break down the later calls between Joseph and Kendra from Washington County. Kendra tells Joseph not to trust anyone and says she's boarding up the hatches. She describes being so weak she hasn't died yet and that's the bar. Michelle Duggar carries food upstairs and prays with her to stop the spiral.Joseph calls his cell a prayer closet. He's having breakthroughs with his Bible reading. He reads a devotional about boundaries — three Biblical figures with three kinds of boundary failures — and finds it fascinating. He never connects the passage to what he's accused of.Robin decodes every behavioral beat and identifies what this call reveals about a system that trains its members to redirect, reframe, and never look outward at the person they allegedly harmed.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Today's a solo Teacap I discuss the viral Summer House drama, some awful revelations we learned in the Lamar Odom documentary, and two viral tweets about cherries and being whimsical girls. I also introduce two new segments: Mal's Hot Takes and Pour and Reflect. This episode heavily discusses relationships and friendship, boundaries, and how crazy some people have gotten. It's a great episode. Let me know if you agree with my hot take, if you think Amanda did nothing wrong, and if cherries have a negative connotation to you.

Welcome back to Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick. In this episode, Michael John Cusick and AJ Denson continue their exploration of the “four S's” of attachment—seen, soothed, safe, and secure—focusing today on the final S: secure. Together, they dive into the meaning of secure attachment, both psychologically and spiritually, and how it's reflected in our relationships with God and others.Drawing on personal experiences, biblical narratives, and insights from attachment theory, Michael explains how secure attachment is foundational to human flourishing and to our sense of inner peace—even in life's most challenging moments. They discuss the difference between secure and insecure attachment, the impact of technology on connection, and what it means to be loved by God in both our strength and vulnerability.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!
