Podcasts about breaking the cycle

Did you know that if you keep leaving relationships because you're tired of having the same arguments, you'll probably end up having those same fights in the next one too? It doesn't always mean you're not compatible. Most of the time, it simply means there's something still needs healing. In this episode of The Language of Love Sessions, I answer a question from a listener named Carrie. She wrote in because she and her partner keep fighting in circles. Same argument, same frustration, and she's starting to lose hope that things will ever change. I get it. It's exhausting. But what I've learned after decades of working with couples is that repeating arguments aren't just about who's right or wrong. They're often a mirror showing us the patterns and pain we haven't yet healed. Our relationships have this beautiful way of bringing up the stuff that's ready to be worked on if we're willing to look at it. In this session, I talk about: Why you keep finding yourself in the same kind of fights How to take responsibility for your part in the pattern The difference between incompatibility and unhealed wounds How to turn conflict into a chance for connection instead of disconnection Why doing your own healing work changes every relationship you have If you've ever thought, “Why does this always happen to me?”, this episode is for you. Because real change doesn't start by finding someone new. It starts by getting curious about yourself. If you'd like me to answer your question on the show, send me an email at languageoflovepod@gmail.com or leave me a voice note at speakpipe.com/languageoflove. Remember, love isn't about avoiding conflict. It's about learning from it, healing through it, and growing together. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Joining me this week is Jessica Baum, licensed mental health counselor, relationship expert, and author of the new book SAFE: Coming Home to Yourself and Others. Together we explore: - How insecure attachment patterns form in childhood and continue to shape how we show up as adults and parents. - Why parents with a history of insecure attachment may find themselves more easily triggered by their children. - The difference between awareness and healing, and why insight alone isn't enough to create real change. - How to repair attachment wounds by learning to regulate your own nervous system. - What the "Wheel of Attachment" reveals about the fluid, nuanced nature of our attachment patterns. - How doing your own inner work can transform not just your relationships, but the emotional security you pass down to your kids. If you've ever wondered why you react the way you do or how to stop repeating painful relational cycles, this conversation will help you understand what's happening beneath the surface and give you hope that true, lasting healing is possible.

If we would examine ourselves, we would declare that we are people who make many mistakes... and sadly, oftentimes, the mistakes we make are the same ones we've made in the past. Sometimes we think we have it figured out, and BAM! We fall for the same trick, presented in a different way. Or what about this one: the temptation is presented the same way, but we think we're "strong" enough to handle it. No matter how we arrive there, we fall victim to cycles. But all praises to the Most High God—He has come to break those chains of bondage!  Focus: Romans 7:24  All Verses Covered: Romans 7:19-25, 12:2, 1 Corinthians 2:11-14  Original Air Date: October 23, 2025  We have bible studies via Zoom every Monday at 7 pm Central Standard Time.

Lying often begins as self-protection—but in the aftermath of betrayal, it becomes one of the biggest barriers to rebuilding connection. In this solo episode, Hali explores why lying becomes a habit, how it deepens disconnection, and what it takes to courageously choose honesty as part of the healing journey. Whether you're the partner in recovery or the betrayed partner navigating trust issues, this conversation is about more than just telling the truth—it's about reclaiming integrity, safety, and authentic connection. “Honesty isn't just about facts. It's about aligning your inner and outer world—and that's where real healing begins.”In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why lying becomes a default pattern in betrayalThe hidden fears that fuel dishonesty (rejection, shame, loss of control)How dishonesty creates a cycle of disconnection and mistrustPractical steps to build honesty like a muscle—even in low-stakes momentsHow to repair trust through accountability and consistent truth-tellingWhy support systems matter in sustaining honesty and recoveryLying often starts as a survival skill—but it can't coexist with real intimacy.Honesty is a practice, not a one-time choice.Rebuilding trust requires truth, accountability, and self-regulation.Both partners need safe spaces to process pain and grow.Men's Brain-Body Healing Summit — November 6–9, 2025 | Mesa, AZIf you've ever felt stuck in old patterns—even after trying therapy, groups, or self-help—you're not alone.

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)The loudest voice in divorce is often the one inside your head—the story that explains everything your ex does and why you're “right.” We dig into how confirmation bias narrows your view, fuels conflict, and drains families, and we show a better path: shifting from case-building to problem-solving with tools you can use today.We start by naming how adversarial systems reward selective evidence and turn parents into opposing counsel in their own lives. From emails read in the worst light to kids' struggles being used as proof, bias escalates stress, legal fees, and the sense of moral certainty that keeps you stuck. Then we pivot to what actually helps: future-focused questions, validation without villainizing, and the move from positions (“I want the house”) to interests (“I need stability and financial security”). You'll hear practical reframes, co-parenting communication tweaks, and real examples that replace blame with clarity and choice.For professionals—divorce coaches, mediators, therapists, and attorneys—we offer a blueprint to interrupt bias at the intake question, honor emotions without fueling grievance, and design processes that lower costs while protecting kids. For parents, we highlight simple, child-centered habits that rebuild trust and keep decisions grounded in what matters most. The punchline is simple: being right won't raise your children or heal your nervous system; building a livable future will.If you're ready to trade adversarial autopilot for collaboration and calm, press play. Then share your biggest reframe, subscribe for more grounded guidance, and leave a review to help more families find their way forward.

Breaking the Cycle: Healing Your Relationship with Food and Movement Guest: Hayley Stenis by Radio Islam

Shame is one of the enemy's most powerful tools—it twists mistakes into identity, leaving our daughters believing lies like “I'm not enough, I'll never measure up, I'll always be a failure.” Left unaddressed, those inner whispers can grow into heavy chains that shape how a girl views herself, others, and even God.  In this powerful conversation, American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director and podcast host Patti Garibay is joined by Brittany Sawrey-Coulson, Licensed Professional Counselor and Director of Content at Trueface. With wisdom and compassion, Brittany unpacks the difference between guilt and shame, why negative self-talk begins earlier than we think, and how moms can model grace-filled authenticity that frees their daughters from shame's grip.  Together, Patti and Brittany discuss practical ways parents can help girls replace lies with God's truth, cultivate safe spaces for honest conversation, and anchor their worth in Christ—not in performance, appearance, or comparison. And if you're a mom who wrestles with shame yourself, this episode offers hope for your own healing as well as guidance for breaking the generational cycle.  Shame doesn't get the last word—Jesus does. Tune in and discover how to lead your daughter toward freedom, confidence, and a lasting identity rooted in Him.  Referenced Scriptures in this episode:  Romans 12:2   Proverbs 18:21   John 8:36   Learn more about Brittany and the ministry of Trueface at trueface.org.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com. To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger discusses how workplace drama casts us in the role of victim, villain, or rescuer. Sometimes we stick to one role, but usually we bounce between all three. We tend to think other people are guilty of being a victim or a villain or even a rescuer, but at one point or another, we're all in one of the roles. Cindy examines how the roles show up and what we can do to change the patterns that lead us to play roles at all.  At the core of each role is a basic truth. The victim usually feels overlooked, the villain often paints other people as being the problem, and the rescuer likes control and reinforces the victim's helplessness while calling the villain irredeemable. The trio of roles tends to self-reinforce, and we get caught in a triangle of drama. Cindy names self-awareness as the first step in breaking free before she details other steps we can take to stop the trio.Each role allows us to receive certain perks that help reinforce our place in it. What's the price we're paying for these hidden payoffs, though? Cindy points out that we can step out of any of the roles at any time. Ask ourselves what role we're in. Then ask what we're really looking for that the role appears to give us. Cindy guides us through how to empower ourselves outside of each role so we can leave the stress of the drama triangle behind.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Stop Playing the Victim, Villain, or Rescuer at WorkAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Bitterness left unchecked doesn't just poison a person—it seeps into families, generations, and even churches. In this episode, we explore how generational bitterness takes root, how it shows up in family dynamics, and—most importantly—how Jesus breaks the cycle.

Whether you've inherited a legacy of resentment or are simply tired of emotional patterns you can't explain, this episode is a call to freedom, forgiveness, and generational healing. If you've ever said, “I don't want to become like them,” but feel stuck in the same story—this message is for you.

Over 13% of 16-24-year-olds in the UK are now classified as NEET – not in education, employment or training – with a growing number also economically inactive and disengaged from the workforce altogether.This crisis is costing the UK economy billions in lost productivity and social support, while placing young people at greater risk of poor mental health, lifelong unemployment, and social exclusion.What's driving this troubling trend?

Fight, Apologise, Repeat: Breaking the Cycle of False Hope If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of conflict and reconciliation, the fights that leave you questioning everything, followed by apologies that flood you with hope, this episode is for you. Because while those moments of reconnection can feel powerful, they don't always mean real change is happening. Sometimes, they just keep you hooked in a painful loop of false hope. In this episode, I'll explore: Why the fight–make up cycle feels so addictive (hint: it's not just emotional, it's chemical). How these constant highs and lows erode trust and clarity. The difference between hope with evidence and hope based on words alone. Practical ways to spot the cycle and start breaking free. Why compassion is essential, both for the betrayed partner and the unfaithful one.

What does it take to break free from a lifetime of pain and abuse? Ruth Valor's story is a powerful Christian testimony of how God can heal even the deepest wounds. From the time she was just three years old, Ruth endured sexual abuse, physical abuse, and emotional neglect. Her father battled alcoholism and carried his own scars from an abusive childhood, leaving Ruth desperate for love and acceptance. That search often led her into destructive relationships—what she now calls having a “broken picker.” But God had a greater plan for Ruth. At her lowest point, she encountered Jesus and began a journey of healing from abuse and breaking the cycle that had defined her life for so long. Today, Ruth leads Journey of Hope, a ministry dedicated to helping both survivors of abuse and those who have caused harm find freedom in Christ. In this powerful conversation, you'll discover: ✨ How generational trauma and “daddy issues” affect our choices ✨ Why abuse survivors often repeat destructive patterns—and how to break free ✨ The moment Ruth found hope and began her healing journey with Jesus ✨ How faith in Christ brings lasting freedom from abuse and brokenness If you've experienced abuse or know someone who has, this episode offers encouragement and practical hope. Ruth's story is proof that no matter how broken the past, Jesus can restore, redeem, and lead us into the abundant life He promises.

Send us a textWhat happens when childhood trauma becomes the catalyst for profound healing? Heather Ann Ferri's journey from victim to healer offers a roadmap for anyone struggling with their past.Growing up in Pittsburgh, Heather endured severe abuse that left her with physical and emotional scars, including brain damage and deep-seated feelings of unworthiness. After years in show business where she "played other people" but couldn't connect with her authentic self, Heather embarked on a healing journey that would transform not only her life but the lives of countless others she now guides.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Heather reveals how understanding her family bloodlines—including the discovery of her grandmother's Black American Indian heritage—helped her contextualize generational patterns of trauma. "Maybe I'm the one in this bloodline to reverse it," she reflects, highlighting the power we all have to break cycles that may have persisted for generations.What sets Heather apart as a healing coach is her commitment to empowerment rather than dependency. "I'm a guide," she explains, emphasizing how she equips clients with personalized toolkits for self-healing. From "downloading" (a form of intuitive channeling) to meditation practices, Heather teaches techniques that allow people to access their own inner wisdom. Her profound insight that "we'll see a kinder society the more people self-care and self-heal" reminds us that personal healing work is not selfish—it's essential for creating a more compassionate world.Ready to break free from patterns holding you back?

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, takes a raw look at what you may be passing down to your kids, without even realizing it. First responder stress doesn't just stay at work (Amazon Affiliate). The silence, the discipline, the avoidance, and the constant tension of the job can quietly trickle into your parenting and shape the next generation. We dig into the emotional inheritance that comes from responder culture, exploring how children often absorb unspoken lessons about fear, conflict, and emotional distance. More importantly, we share how to break the cycle—so your kids inherit your strength, not your struggles. How Kids Absorb Stress You Don't Speak About Why silence isn't neutral—it's still communication. The way kids mirror tension even when you think you're hiding it. Discipline vs. Connection in Responder Homes How rigid structure can be misinterpreted as coldness. Balancing rules with empathy so kids feel both safe and understood. The Cost of Avoidance How refusing to talk about emotions teaches kids to bury theirs. Why avoidance feels protective but often leads to disconnection. Signs of Generational Stress Transfer Children showing anxiety, hyper-vigilance, or perfectionism. The unspoken fear of “what could happen” carried into adulthood. Practical Ways to Break the Cycle Talking openly about stress in age-appropriate ways. Modeling vulnerability as strength. Creating family rituals that focus on presence, not performance. Seeking outside support so your family isn't carrying it alone.

A cartoonist published by The New Yorker, Grazia, The New Statesman, The Guardian, BuzzFeed, New York Magazine, Private Eye and Netflix, she had recently published her deeply funny and touching graphic memoir “Cry When the Baby Cries”. For years, her observations of daily life and motherhood made me burst out laughing (often when I needed it the most). So join me as I finally get to laugh together with Becky! Hear her inspiring story about becoming a succesful cartoonist after years of hearing she wasn't good enough, and was dreaming of a job that didn't exist. And learn wise lessons from her and her mom Catherina about motherhood being a source the fulfilment, about creating a warm home through routine and light, about teaching our duaghters through our stories, and breaking generational cycles.

This episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosted by Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton, takes a hard look at the role alcohol still plays (Amazon Affiliate) in first responder culture. For generations, the badge and the bottle have been intertwined—used to unwind, to bond, and, for some, to bury the weight of the job. We explore why alcohol remains an unspoken coping mechanism, how it impacts personal and professional lives, and what it takes to break free from cycles of silent self-medication. The Cultural Legacy of Alcohol in Service: Why drinking has long been normalized in first responder circles. The “work hard, play hard” mentality and how it perpetuates risky habits. The Fine Line Between Social and Self-Medication: How occasional drinks can shift into dependency without realizing it. The difference between relaxation and numbing out. Signs Alcohol Is Becoming a Problem: Red flags that often go unnoticed—or are brushed off—in responder culture. How high-functioning dependency hides in plain sight. The Impact on Relationships and Performance: Why substance reliance affects emotional regulation, decision-making, and intimacy. How alcohol-related issues can put careers and families at risk. The Role of Peer Influence and Stigma: How fear of judgment or isolation keeps people from seeking help. The unspoken pressure to join in to “fit in.” Strategies to Break the Cycle: Audit Your Habits: Track how often and why you're drinking to gain clarity on patterns. Replace Rituals, Not Just the Drink: Find healthier ways to decompress and bond that still meet the same needs. Seek Support Early: Connect with confidential peer support programs or counseling before it becomes a crisis. Shift the Culture Through Leadership: Leaders setting examples by promoting sober or low-alcohol events. Prioritize Emotional Tools Over Liquid Ones: Build coping skills that can handle stress without relying on alcohol. In this episode, we challenge the silence around alcohol in first responder life—and offer practical steps to protect your health, relationships, and career.  

In this episode, Christina Lecuyer gets real about regrets—the ones she's faced personally, and the ones she's seen echoed across generations. From missed opportunities in personal growth to lessons in financial literacy, Christina opens up about the moments she wishes she'd acted sooner. But more than looking back, this conversation is about moving forward. She challenges you to recognize where you may be holding back in your own life and shows why investing in yourself, whether through education, growth, or bold decision-making is the most powerful way to break the cycle of regret.

What if the struggles you face today as a woman didn't start with you—but with your mother, and her mother before her? In this powerful conversation, therapist and certified mother-daughter coach Erica Thomas shares how our earliest identity as “daughter” shapes our personality, our relationships and even how we show up at work.   We're breaking open the cultural and familial scripts that keep women small—silencing our voices, worrying more about how things look than how they feel, and losing ourselves in people-pleasing servitude. You'll hear Erica's personal story, why she believes the patriarchy often lives inside us, and how healing the mother-daughter wound creates generational change that ripples both forward and backward in time.   This episode is part truth-telling, part blueprint: a call to every woman who wants to stop carrying the emotional weight she inherited, and start living with authenticity and personal power.   Erica Thomas is a licensed psychotherapist of over 20 years and a mother-daughter relationship expert driven to create generational change for women. As the founder of Vita Nova Counseling and Vita Nova Mother-Daughter Coaching, Erica guides women to heal past hurts and growth into their God-given potential and helps mothers and daughters transform generational legacies into ones that leave healing, hope, reconnection, and empowerment.    Find Erica on social media Facebook: @vitanovaLHTX Instagram: @vitanovacounseling LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ericagthomas Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL if you're ready to fully commit to your personal growth and do the work to get emotionally sober.
