Now, while dating isn't easy and shouldn't be frivolous, Cloud suggests it may be simpler than many female believers make it out to be.

This week, Vee and Elle unpack everything couples should talk about before stepping into a shared play space—from emotional boundaries to desires, jealousy, and how to reconnect afterward, using a conversation framework they learned on an ISTA retreat.  From collars and rituals to new relationship energy (NRE), aka limerence, and the messy middle between fantasy and reality—Vee goes deep on her experience. Whether you're new to the lifestyle, playing with a new partner, or redefining your relationship agreements, this episode is packed with real talk, practical tools, and deeply personal moments.RDBSM (Relationship, Desires, Boundaries, Sexual Health, Meaning).

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Raquel Gomes discuss:The importance of setting boundaries and saying no to maintain focus and balanceOvercoming perfectionism and developing trust through delegation and leadershipBuilding sustainable business systems that support both growth and personal well-beingThe mindset shift required to transition from burnout to passion-driven entrepreneurship Key Takeaways:By performing a detailed time audit and identifying tasks that don't align with your priorities, you can reclaim control of your schedule, eliminate low-value work, and create space for what truly drives personal and professional growth.Effective delegation depends on replacing micromanagement with structured onboarding, clear expectations, and consistent communication so your team feels empowered and capable while you stay focused on leadership and strategy.Long-term business success requires building systems and processes that allow your company to operate smoothly even in your absence, ensuring both stability and the freedom to take restorative time away without anxiety or burnout.The decision to leave corporate life before feeling fully ready underscores the importance of self-trust — embracing uncertainty and believing in your own capability can lead to transformation, purpose, and sustainable fulfillment. "Rest is revenue generated as well." —  Raquel Gomes Unlock the secrets of rainmaking success—join Steve Fretzin and four powerhouse legal experts for Be That Lawyer LIVE on August 27; reserve your spot now at fretzin.com/events. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

There comes a point when staying becomes far more damaging than leaving. In this episode, I explore why we introverts sometimes reach the moment where walking away is not reckless, but essential. I share the patterns that lead to quiet quitting and quiet leaving, and the signs that our loyalty has turned into self-betrayal. Let's uncover how to build the self-trust to leap even when there's no safety net and how to move towards what truly nourishes rather than simply away from what drains.

Sometimes forgiveness comes too soon — not because we're unfaithful, but because we're afraid. Many of you have been told that good Christians forgive quickly, but what if forgiveness that comes too soon isn't holy…it's harm? Your body knows when it's not ready. Betrayal doesn't just break trust — it breaks regulation. In this episode, Laura will explore what betrayal does to the nervous system and why true forgiveness starts with safety, honesty, and time — not speed.

Her quirky, joyful spirit taught me powerful lessons about being present, letting go of perfection, and finding beauty in the everyday. She was also a great challenge as all good teachers are.  Ubsy's unapologetic way of living, zoomies, head-biting, and all, reminded me (and now I'm reminding you) that living authentically and embracing the small moments is where real magic lies. We explore how tuning into your intuition and your surroundings can deepen joy, reduce stress, and reconnect you to what matters most. This is an invitation to pause, notice, and celebrate the brilliance of your life… right now, not someday. Listen to the episode and get inspired to live with more intention, presence, and delight

What if setting boundaries isn't about pushing people away — but about finally choosing yourself? In this powerful and deeply relatable conversation, Harvard-trained clinical psychologist Dr. Sabrina Romanoff joins Surviving Roots host Cari Fund to unpack the hidden patterns that shape our relationships — from friendship breakups and people-pleasing to the repetition of childhood wounds in our adult lives. Together they explore: Why boundaries are acts of preservation, not rejection. How self-abandonment begins in childhood — and how to stop repeating it. The psychology behind friendship breakups and envy. What “getting comfortable in the uncomfortable” really looks like. How to know if someone is a battery or a generator in your life. Why guilt can actually be a sign of healing. Whether you're untangling toxic dynamics or learning to stand in your worth, this episode will help you reconnect with the version of yourself you've been betraying just to keep the peace. ✨ Connect with Dr. Sabrina Romanoff: @drsabrinaromanoff

In this lively and deeply reflective episode of Uncover the Human, Cristina and Alex dive into the “respectrum” — the full range of how respect and disrespect show up in our lives, workplaces, and society. They explore how easily we justify our own lapses in respect while condemning others, and how that double standard quietly erodes the social ecosystem we all share. With humor, honesty, and a few delightfully unplanned metaphors, they unpack why respect often goes unnoticed until it's missing — and how small acts of awareness and courage can rebuild it.The conversation moves from everyday moments, like driving or team meetings, to larger questions of culture, leadership, and moral responsibility. Cristina and Alex remind us that culture is defined not by our best intentions, but by the worst behavior we allow. They challenge listeners to reflect: when you witness disrespect, do you stay silent or step in? This episode is a call to remember that respect is contagious — and so is silence.

Marriage Isn't Just Paperwork: Why It Still Matters for Women, Faith & LegacyIs marriage outdated—or have we just forgotten what it really means?

Hey, Heal Squad! This week, Maria sits down with Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Mayci Neely for a conversation about healing after abuse, loss, and trauma in relationships. Mayci opens up about the moments that broke her, the strength it took to leave an abusive marriage, and how she rebuilt her life from the ground up. She shares the tools that helped her heal… from self-forgiveness and faith to therapy, journaling, and learning to feel safe in her body again. Together, Maria and Mayci explore how emotional pain shows up physically, what it really means to live in survival mode, and how it is possible to move from fear to freedom. This is a powerful reminder that healing isn't about erasing your past, it's about reclaiming your story, your power, and your peace. Whether you're navigating heartbreak, trauma, or learning to trust yourself again, here are the tools to guide your journey forward! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Healing starts with self-forgiveness. Mayci shares how true freedom began when she stopped punishing herself for her past and started forgiving herself daily. Your body remembers what your mind avoids. She explains how unprocessed emotions can manifest physically, and why feeling safe again starts with body awareness. Boundaries are a form of self-love. Letting go of people and environments that trigger pain is how Mayci began reclaiming her peace. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maycineeley/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@maycineeley?lang=en  Website: https://www.babymama.co/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAadMLEGyWSSa8MHuZ3ReBzp5JobmY_FzvnLnjTy1uOFyd92jsysBdUWPD8wfdQ_aem_m-FZXZnolP7S1knN-YMjvw  Book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-27154940  Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/sinnersundayconfessional/?hl=en  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

In this episode, Dr. Ken tackles the often tricky topic of finances with teenagers and young adults. From who pays for what to how much control parents should keep as kids become more independent, they unpack what it looks like to guide—not grip—the financial reins.Dr. Ken and Cynthia dig into everything from financial responsibility in high school to the bigger choices college students face. They talk about how a parent's own relationship with money inevitably trickles down to their kids, why letting teens make a few bad choices can be healthy, and they even wade into topics like tithing, allowance, and that awkward moment when you realize your fully grown child is still on your family phone plan.It's a candid, practical conversation with plenty of laughs and some real talk about equipping teens to make wise financial choices—even when it's uncomfortable, unexpected, or involves a questionable boat.

In this powerful episode, Heather Creekmore continues October’s "Fear Free Fall” series by digging deep into the often-hidden fear of rejection and how it influences our lives. She unpacks how perfectionism and people-pleasing are tightly related to our need to feel accepted and loved. Through personal stories, relatable examples, and biblical truth, Heather unravels the underlying self-protective strategies we adopt—and how the gospel offers real freedom and grace. Key Topics Covered: What is the Fear of Rejection?Heather explores how this fear drives us and manifests as perfectionism and people-pleasing. She explains that these are self-protective strategies formed by our desire for secure love, belonging, and worth. Perfectionism:Often, we think, “If I get it right, then I’ll be enough.” Heather shares a personal story from college when a single missed typo made her feel immense shame, showing how perfectionism can lead to exhaustion and shame rather than peace. People-Pleasing:The fear that “If I make everyone happy, I’ll be safe.” Heather discusses how people-pleasing is not true peacekeeping or biblical peacemaking and how it can even impact our ability to follow God’s call if the opinions of others control us. Where Does This Come From?Heather highlights how these tendencies usually aren’t intentional—they’re often formed in childhood, at school, or through life experiences that taught us we’d be safer if we kept everyone happy or never made mistakes. How It Affects Others:Unchecked, perfectionism and people-pleasing can also lead us to have unrealistic expectations of others, continuing the cycle for those around us. The Gospel’s Answer:True freedom is found not in earning love and acceptance from people (or God), but in embracing grace. Heather reminds us that Jesus took on ultimate rejection so we can be fully accepted by God, no matter how we perform. A Challenge to Listeners:Heather encourages us to check our motives—are we striving for approval from people or resting in God’s approval? She challenges listeners to shift their perspective from a “people-big, God-small” view to a “God-big, people-small” mindset for greater confidence and peace. Memorable Quotes: “Perfectionism is a fear of inadequacy dressed up as excellence.” “People pleasing is not biblical peacemaking—it’s a form of self-protection.” “You can never be perfect or please everyone, but you are already fully accepted in Jesus.” “Freedom comes when you realize you can’t earn grace—it's a gift.” Resources & Next Steps: Visit heathercreekmore.com for free resources, courses, coaching, and Heather’s books Sign up for the free 10-day encouragement email series!

In this Community Conversation, Kate opens up about leaving a #1 morning show, the pay-equity moment that sparked her exit plan, why she chose privacy to find love, and how midlife priorities now shape her calendar. We talk boundaries, grief of changing friendships, and what it means to “have it all—just not all at the same time.”Get the links + extras in my bi-weekly Simple Shifts newsletter. https://resources.shellyniehaus.com/midlife Key takeawaysThe whisper often starts as a nudge—honor it before it becomes a shout.You can have it all, just not all at the same time; decide your season's non-negotiables.Boundaries will change some friendships—and that's part of growth.If work consumes all mental space, there's no room for love or new callings.Think in “future bricks”: every yes is building the house you'll live in next.Consider bookending days around family and fitting work in the open spaces.Regret check: Picture yourself 20 years from now—what choice would you wish you'd made?

Often, when we think about boundaries, we imagine a list of rules and restrictions like: you can't do this, you can do this, and if you don't do this, this is going to happen. But this isn't actually the essence of a boundary and it's not what the boundary is designed for.  Setting boundaries is actually a courageous act that requires self-awareness and self-love. It's about prioritizing your own well-being and honoring your own needs. And by understanding the importance of boundaries, we can navigate relationships and maintain our connection to ourselves. Join Lisa in this episode where you're invited to embrace a more flexible approach to boundaries … but we get it - even the words "flexible" and "boundary" may seem contradictory to you right now.  Here's what you'll learn:  Why boundaries are flexible and can change from moment to moment; How setting boundaries is about taking responsibility for ourselves, not controlling others; How to recognize the clues (in our bodies) that tell us when it's time to set a boundary;  Why nervous system work is essential for boundary work; Different ways to set boundaries, such as redirecting, being honest, or removing oneself from the situation; Why rejection often makes setting boundaries challenging (... and when we don't set a boundary, how it's a form of self-rejection);  Why sometimes perceived deal breakers aren't actually deal breakers; and How to translate this more relational-boundary setting into our work as clinicians. Tune in to this episode and discover how honoring your boundaries not only allows for connection and maintains relationships, but is a deep act of self-love and acknowledgement of your own worthiness. ✨ Additional Resources:

Send us a textSimone W. Johnson Smith is the author of Decoding America: The Immigrant Experience and host of The Immigrant Experience in America podcast. A Jamaican-born public servant and cultural coach, Simone supports immigrant professionals through the emotional and cultural transitions of life in a new country.Caribbean immigrants create something new and powerful when they leave their birth countries—a hybrid identity that's neither fully their native culture nor completely American, but according to Simone, a third culture person with unique strengths and perspectives.Key Takeaways:Third culture persons develop a hybrid identity that becomes their superpower.Code switching is a natural adaptation strategy that all humans use in different contexts. Culture shock symptoms range from mild depression to fatal self-harm and should be taken seriously.Coming home to yourself means integrating valuable parts of both cultures deliberately.Healthy boundaries with family back home are essential for immigrants' well-being.The immigrant experience involves balancing communal values from home with American individualism.Work environments often present the greatest challenges for Caribbean immigrants.This conversation complements the Caribbean Diaspora Experience Model (CDEM), developed by Carry On Friends to help Caribbeans better understand their evolving identity across time, place, and life stages.Connect with Simone  - thebridgeconcepts.org Subscribe to the Newsletter Support How to Support Carry On Friends Donate: If you believe in our mission and want to help amplify Caribbean voices, consider making a donation.

What if freedom isn't the absence of limits, but the presence of form?In this episode of The Scenic Route, Jen explores the paradox of constraints – why the boundaries we resist might be the very thing that saves us. Drawing on the work of sociologist Zygmunt Bauman and his idea of liquid modernity, she unpacks how modern life's obsession with flexibility and endless options has left so many of us overwhelmed, exhausted, and floating without structure.You'll hear:Why too much freedom can make us feel lost instead of liberatedWhat Bauman meant by “liquid modernity”, and how it shapes our daily anxietyHow chosen limits can create space for creativity, rest, and meaningWhy personal boundaries matter and why collective ones matter even moreThis isn't a call to hustle smarter or embrace toxic gratitude. It's a quiet rebellion against a system that asks you to be endlessly available and endlessly improving. Jen invites you to build a life – and a world – solid enough to hold you.Survival is individual. Transformation is shared.They drained the public pool and sold you swimming lessons. The goalposts keep moving; nothing ever feels complete.You don't need to fix yourself; you need structures that hold you.If you've been feeling like you're always treading water, this episode is your permission to stop swimming and start building your boat.

How can we go about managing and adjusting our boundaries as our relationships change, we grow, or new situations present themselves to us? Risa Williams talks to Stevon Lewis, therapist and book author, about how to figure out how much "access" you're allowing people to have to parts of you based upon information you're receiving from them across different situations over time.They discuss:-How boundaries can be on a scale and not an "all or nothing" concept-How most people see boundaries as "punishment" instead of a "choice" that allows us to feel safe and thrive-How to adjust how much access someone should have to you and your time based upon information you're given -Why we need to prioritize our own time with ourselves a little bit more intentionally for our own health and wellbeingHost: Risa Williams, risawilliams.com, @risawilliamstherapyGuest: Stevon Lewis, stevonlewis.com, @stevonlewismftSupport the showFor info on books, workshops, guests, and future episodes, please visit: risawilliams.com.*All tools discussed on the show are meant for educational purposes only and not as a replacement for therapy or medical advice.

In this episode we talk about how Letting go of control, comfort, and old coping patterns isn't easy. Change asks us to allow, to trust, and to let in — all things that can feel terrifying if we've spent years surviving by keeping walls up. In this episode, we talk about how to know when it's time to loosen control, why “fine” isn't the same as fulfilled, and what helps us feel safe enough to soften. Because true courage isn't about forcing change — it's about allowing growth to happen where safety and honesty meet.  THREE TAKEAWAYS 1. Letting go isn't giving up — it's trusting yourself enough to stop forcing outcomes. 2. Safety comes from consistency, empathy, and ownership — not control. 3. Real courage begins when we allow vulnerability to meet safety.                      The courage to stop managing everything begins with one brave thought: maybe I'm safe enough now to let go.     Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

The subject of in-laws is one that hits home for many of us—and today's conversation with Dr. Tracy D goes deep. One of our most downloaded episodes ever featured her, and we knew we had to bring her back to talk about what's changed, what hasn't, and how to navigate these tricky family patterns in new seasons of life.You didn't just marry your partner—you married into their family's patterns. Where's the line between accepting those patterns and creating healthy boundaries?

The inability to say "no" can result in overcommitment, leaving us exhausted and even bitter toward those who make demands on our time and energy. Similarly, compromising our beliefs to keep a relationship can draw us away from who God has made us to be and what he has called us to do. In both cases, we need to be able to set wise boundaries, prioritizing pleasing God rather than pleasing others or even ourselves. Christian counselor Jim Newheiser will offer practical advice for setting appropriate boundaries in our relationships and use real-life scenarios to teach how to manage difficult situations.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They unpack why quick fixes backfire, how to communicate about hard topics, and ways to modify expectations, build self-esteem, and set boundaries over blanket restrictions (e.g., muting or curating feeds instead of banning apps). Sophia shares practical scripts, “what to say/what to avoid,” and mom-first strategies like leading by example and using preventive care long before a crisis. Sophia Vale Galano is a licensed clinical social worker serving teens and adults in California. With experience across residential, inpatient, outpatient, and school settings, she specializes in adolescent anxiety and parent coaching. Her new book, Calming Teenage Anxiety, gives parents concrete tools and phrases to support anxious teens with clarity and compassion. Three takeaways: Listen before you fix. Validation opens the door; advice can slam it shut. Boundaries beat restrictions. Curate tech (mute/restrict/positive follows) rather than blanket bans to protect self-esteem and trust. Model what you want to see. Your therapy, rest, limits, and self-care quietly teach your teen how to manage anxiety.

What does it mean to truly “have it all” and why does chasing it often leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or numb? In this episode, Natalie sits down with Amanda Goetz, author of the new book Toxic Grit: How to Have It All and Actually Love What You Have, for a refreshingly honest conversation about modern ambition, parenting, and self-compassion. Amanda shares her powerful “character theory” framework, revealing how we can identify, honor, and intentionally prioritize the different roles we play—CEO, mom, friend, partner—to break out of cycles of guilt and toxic productivity. You'll learn the practical strategies she uses to create boundaries, set “hierarchies,” and move beyond the significance and urgency traps. Plus, discover the real meaning of rest, how to build discipline, and why embracing intentional imbalance might be the secret to happiness. Show Resources and Links: NatalieTysdal.com/Podcast
