Most people assume infidelity only matters when it becomes physical, but emotional infidelity can cut just as deep—and often deeper. When your partner gives emotional intimacy, attention, and affection to someone else, it leaves you questioning your place in the relationship and doubting your own instincts.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody unpack why emotional infidelity is so damaging, why it's often minimized, and what couples can do to protect their relationship from these subtle breaches of trust.They explore:Why betrayed partners often feel confused or pressured to minimize emotional cheatingHow “we're just friends” becomes one of the most common forms of denialThe danger of familiarity and unchecked closeness with someone outside the marriageWhy protecting exclusivity in emotional connection matters as much as sexual fidelityHow couples can set healthy boundaries that protect their emotional bondYou'll also hear Geoff and Jody share personal stories from their own marriage, illustrating how even innocent moments—like sharing music or interests too intimately with someone else—can cross emotional boundaries.This episode reframes emotional infidelity as a legitimate breach of trust that requires care, repair, and clarity. You'll learn how to recognize red flags, have honest conversations about boundaries, and protect what's sacred between you and your partner.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After Betrayal Get your copy here.______________________________Join the Courageous Together™ ProgramCourageous Together™ isn't just another course, it's a trauma-informed roadmap that holds both of you in the healing process.

“I was one of those people that had some biases against pop music. Being in show choirs and seeing the ways that the songs were transformed and arranged really opened my eyes to different styles of music and changed my perspective. I no longer view popular music as being all that different from classical music or film scores. There's just something about arranging: taking all these pieces of a song and figuring out how to put them together. It's almost like doing a puzzle. It unlocks some of the same parts of my brain.”Garrett Breeze is a Nashville-based composer best known for his catalog of more than 1,500 choral arrangements of popular music, including more than 1,000 written for competitive show choirs.  For the past 15 years, Garrett has been actively involved in the show choir community as an arranger, show designer, clinician, and adjudicator, working with hundreds of choirs across the country.  His music is published by Breeze Tunes and Shawnee Press and regularly appears on J.W.

We've all heard the phrase “honesty is the best policy.” But after betrayal, many couples find that simply telling the truth doesn't always bring the healing they hoped for. In fact, sometimes the way truth is shared causes even more pain, confusion, and distance.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody explore why truth on its own isn't enough to rebuild trust—and how it must be paired with safety, accountability, and compassion to actually repair a relationship.You'll hear:Why the way truth is shared can do more harm than goodHow betrayed partners experience “cold truth” that destabilizes rather than healsWhy recovering partners often confuse telling their story with telling the truthHow structure, timing, and accountability create safer truth-tellingWhy full healing requires equal ground, where both partners know the same truthGeoff and Jody unpack the tension between the betrayed partner's right to know and the recovering partner's responsibility to share honestly and safely. You'll learn why disclosure must be structured—not controlled—and how thoughtful truth-telling becomes the foundation for rebuilding trust.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

If you're the betrayed partner, you know what it's like to be hit with waves of emotion that feel impossible to control. One moment you're holding it together, and the next you're flooded with anger, grief, or fear. You may even wonder if you're too much—or if you're going crazy for reacting so strongly.And if you're the recovering partner, you know how unsettling it is to face these storms. You want predictability, calm, and a path forward, but instead you feel powerless and defensive. Both of you are left asking: Why does this keep happening, and what are we supposed to do with it?In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody pull apart this cycle so you can finally understand what's really happening underneath these reactions. They explore:Why betrayed partners' strong emotions are survival responses, not “overreactions”How shame fuels defensiveness and blame for the recovering partnerWhy this dynamic often gets mislabeled as a “marriage problem” instead of a betrayal issueThe different responsibilities of each partner in recovery—and why they're not the sameHow couples can begin to work with these emotions instead of against themThe key message: You're not crazy—you've been through something crazy. These strong emotions are a normal, human response to relational trauma. And when both partners can understand and lean into this truth, healing and connection can begin.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

Send us a textFour years ago, this week, Grandpa Edward Jeffrey Hill decided to retire from his job as a professor at Brigham Young University, Provo. This episode tells the story of how he made this decision. It is interesting that he is now teaching a very similar class on his mission in La'ie, Hawaii at Brigham Young University, Hawaii. This time, however, he is not getting paid!

Following the tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, Shannon Russell, who was at the event, Natalie Perry, Grace Raje, a student at UVU, and Kimball Call discuss the effects of the internet and polarization, how we can help each other and our families, and how we deal with these issues we're facing by recognizing and following our internal compass.   00:00 Introduction and Host's Welcome 00:44 Panel Introductions 01:21 Grace's Perspective on the Assassination 02:13 Natalie's Experience at the Event 08:07 Discussion on Social Media and Misinformation 19:23 Generational Differences and Digital Natives 27:15 Impact of Internet on Young Men 30:27 The Impact of Internet Rabbit Holes on Young Men 31:06 Promoting Positive Masculinity in Education 31:55 Escapism and Its Role in Extremism 32:54 The Importance of Connection Over Avoidance 33:26 Maternal Feminism vs. Modern Feminism 35:27 Fostering Critical Thinking in the Digital Age 37:30 The Dangers of Overstimulation and Dopamine Addiction 41:13 Challenging the Untruths of Fragility, Emotional Reasoning, and Us vs. Them 46:20 The Pressure to Form Immediate Opinions 50:22 Encouraging Civil Discourse and Embracing Failure 55:33 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   “We recognize and follow our intuitive internal compass to speak and act with integrity. And so as we teach this tenet at an international level, we are so blessed to hear from mothers and women all over the globe who believe in following our internal compass. And that is something that every person on this earth has and needs to learn how to use and, and how do we tap into that internal compass? How do we speak, how do we act? Those are the issues I think that we need to address and are very relevant to what happened this week.” - Natalie Perry   “Personally, I think we're gonna look back at kids having social media the same way we look back on how prevalent smoking was in the seventies and eighties… We're gonna say, ‘What were we thinking? Giving kids access to that amount of information before they were trained or taught how to process it, how to filter it out, how to use it for good or use it for other uses.' It's seriously doing some real damage to not just our kids, but to adults as well. I think there's a lot of interesting research coming out about that, but I don't think you need to be in the research to see the negative effects. I think you can just look at what's been happening over the last week.” - Kimball Call   “I think that the family unit is the best place and arguably the only place that's really suitable to hold space for our generation. As we process this disassociation, as we process this dystopian pit in our stomach and the expectation to speak articulately about our thoughts on social media, because that's what's expected of us, even though we're actually processing an emotional thing, and our hearts and brains aren't always communicating. So the family and mothers specifically have a very special and unique ability to hold space for my generation to not have to be articulate, to not have to post right away, to maybe even feel indifferent or to feel sick or to feel whatever they're feeling without criticism, because this is an emotional event.” - Grace Raje   “We need to get back to reality, and we need to help kids grow up in reality. So one of the best ways moms and parents can help their kids is to give them a childhood that resembles the childhood [they] probably experienced. . . .Before the internet was a thing, get kids off video games, get kids off. Don't let them have social media. Get them in touch with books. Help them fall in love with reading. Help them fall in love with nature, help them fall in love with sports and in-person social activities with friends.” - Kimball Call   “When you can stop seeing things as us versus them, you can think critically.” - Kimball Call   “There's this moral obligation to have opinions about everything. . . not that it's wrong to have an opinion, anybody who knows me knows I'm remarkably opinionated, but the problem is that we confuse our identity with our opinions, and then when you're wrong or you have new information, it's hard to admit that you're wrong because it feels like a compromisation of your worth. And the thing that I've learned in order to . . . interface with difficult concepts and be able to hear other people's opinions, is to remove my worth from my opinions, to remove my emotional response from my opinions, and then understand that my internal compass is the gift that I have to discern between the two, and that that takes practice. But as you continue to practice that, it'll be a lot easier, and all of a sudden I can just admit that I'm wrong about something, but I know who I am and I know the worth of the person I'm discussing this, too, and it's not so emotionally charged anymore. It can be about ideas and this sort of effortlessly starts to happen as we practice and as we recognize our own internal worth.” - Grace Raje   “Don't be afraid of failure. Don't be afraid of adversity. I think something that the Charlie Kirk assassination teaches us is that, I mean, here was a guy, whether or not you agree with his politics, here was a guy out there not afraid to be open with where he stood, and let people challenge him. He wasn't afraid of failure. He wasn't afraid of that, and I think in a lot of ways I've seen people on both sides of the aisle recently praising that behavior.” - Kimball Call     The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness by Jonathan Haidt The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt  Kimball Call is an economics student at Brigham Young University and the lead editor of The Cougar Chronicle, an independent student newspaper.

When trust has been broken, the recovering partner often feels pressure to prove they can be trusted again. They may follow instructions perfectly, track progress, and work hard to “get it right.” But instead of bringing closeness, all that proving can backfire—turning the betrayed partner into an audience who feels pressured to respond with gratitude or forgiveness before they're ready.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody unpack why proving often stalls healing and what it means to shift from proving trust to providing safety. They share: • Why performance-based proving creates pressure and can feel transactional • How providing safety relieves pressure and supports the betrayed partner's nervous system • Why safety—not proof—creates the soil where real trust can grow • How couples benefit when the focus shifts from evidence to presence • Practical ways betrayed and recovering partners can move forward at their own paceThe conversation highlights a simple but powerful reframe: trust isn't what builds safety—safety is what builds trust.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

Do you ever feel like you're falling behind in healing? You look around and it seems like everyone else is moving forward while you're stuck, spinning, or even slipping backward. The truth is—you might be doing all the right things, but healing doesn't follow a straight line.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody unpack the belief that you're “behind” in recovery. They explore how this shows up differently for betrayed partners, recovering partners, and couples—and reveal what's really happening beneath the surface.You'll hear: • Why betrayed partners often feel years behind from the moment of discovery • How comparison, past wounds, and betrayal blindness intensify the feeling of being stuck • Why recovering partners live with the fear of being in the “perpetual doghouse” • How couples together can carry a sense of “couple shame” that erases past progress • Why healing is not linear, but layered and indirect—and why that's actually hopefulIf you've ever wondered whether you're doing recovery “right,” this episode will help you see that showing up—even when it feels messy—is part of the healing process.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

After betrayal, couples often find themselves trapped in a cycle. The unfaithful partner wants to explain, while the betrayed partner longs for real accountability. Instead of bringing clarity, explanations often sound like excuses. The betrayed partner feels dismissed, the unfaithful partner feels shut down, and the cycle repeats.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody explore why this dynamic is so common and what couples can do differently. You'll hear:  Why betrayed partners feel torn between their own pain and their natural empathy  How betrayal blindness can lead to minimizing wounds just to keep the peace  Why the recovering partner's instinct to explain often blocks healing  How the order of repair—accountability first, explanation later—creates safety and trust  Practical steps both partners can take to break the cycle and move forwardUsing stories, clinical insights, and personal examples, Geoff and Jody show why accountability must come before explanation and how this shift can transform the healing process.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

A recent study by the Pew Research Center shared statistics that Latter-day Saint women are top of the charts when it comes to experiencing “a deep sense of spiritual peace and well-being on a weekly basis.” We also report the “highest rate of being very happy.” To someone only paying attention to what media and popular culture might say, these statistics might be surprising. But we know why these numbers ring true: we live our faith daily and it really does bring us greater peace and happiness.   Dr. Jenet Erickson, a fellow of the Wheatley Institute and a professor in the School of Family Life at Brigham Young University, recently dove into these findings and is here to share what she learned. The real stories of Latter-day Saint women are ones of peace, power, and strength that shine brighter than any viral trend. We are women of conviction who love and serve God and each other with all of our hearts.  Links: Jenet's article in the Deseret News: Perspective: National data doesn't confirm popular distortions about Latter-day Saint women Join us!

What do you really know about schizophrenia? Guest host Rachel Star Withers — who lives with schizophrenia — takes us beyond the headlines and horror movies in this powerful, honest, and enlightening episode of Inside Mental Health. Joined by neuropsychologist and schizophrenia researcher Dr. Derin Cobia, Rachel explores what schizophrenia is, what it isn't, and how it silently shapes the lives of millions. They break down the real symptoms — including hallucinations, delusions, cognitive disruptions, and depression — and discuss why “positive” and “negative” symptoms are misleading terms. Rachel shares personal stories of psychosis, navigating daily life, and the lifesaving importance of support, while Dr. Cobia unpacks the science: from genetics to stigma to what the media consistently gets wrong.

You'll come away informed, moved, and maybe even surprised. Key takeaways: the truth about schizophrenia's symptoms and causes why stigma is deadly — and how to dismantle it what support systems really make a difference how schizophrenia affects cognition, not just perception Hit play to get past the stereotypes and meet the human reality. Cold Open Transcript:Rachel Star Withers (guest host): I'm sure there's some listeners right now who are thinking, well, I don't have schizophrenia. No one close to me does. Why should I care? Dr. Derin Cobia: You know, schizophrenia, it indirectly affects everyone and it affects us economically, socially, and culturally. Even though somebody may not be dealing with somebody with schizophrenia, now, who's to say they won't in the future? And even if they don't, I would say just general education and awareness about it reduces this stigma. Our guest, Dr. Derin Cobia, is a neuropsychologist and neuroscientist with particular interest in utilizing neuroimaging techniques to study how changes in brain structure influence cognition and behavior. He is also a professor at Brigham Young University. Dr. Cobia's laboratory is focused on the implementation of computational anatomy tools to study neuropsychiatric diseases, particularly schizophrenia. His interests are in the clinical and biological heterogeneity that exists in schizophrenia by taking a cognitive neuroscience perspective. His work has involved linking cognitive and neurobiological characteristics to important clinical dimensions of the illness. Our guest host, Rachel Star Withers creates videos documenting her schizophrenia, ways to manage, and let others like her know they're not alone and can still live an amazing life.

This is a follow-up conversation. Listen to the first episode here. Jeff Strong worked nearly 30 years in the consumer products industry as a senior executive at Procter & Gamble and global president and chief customer officer at Johnson & Johnson. He then taught in the Marriott School of Business at Brigham Young University and worked as an advisor to the Church before serving as a mission leader in the Arkansas Bentonville Mission. Jeff has since spent several years doing research on why people are leaving the Church. While not a professional researcher, his career involved a large amount of research and the research he shares in this podcast was done with the help of some of the top Latter-day Saint researchers in the world. Today, Jeff lives in Midway, Utah, and stays busy with a little lavender farm, some business consulting, and enjoying family. Links Slides: Tension From Our Differences When Clapping Happens at Church | A How I Lead Interview with Devin Pope Share your thoughts in the Leading Saints community Transcript coming soon Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights Jeff Strong dives deeper into the complexities of faith and community. He explores the idea that while many church leaders may come from a similar mindset, the diversity of perspectives within the congregation is essential for a healthy community. Jeff shares insights from a comprehensive study on disaffiliation and church experiences, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the church culture. He notes that while many members appreciate the community, service, and spiritual growth offered by the church, there are significant concerns about judgment, conformity, and exclusivity that can alienate individuals with differing beliefs or backgrounds. Jeff and Kurt talk about the tension caused by differences, and Jeff illustrates how the natural human response to perceived threats often leads to conformity and exclusion. He discusses the importance of yielding to the Holy Spirit to navigate these tensions, rather than allowing fear to dictate responses. A key part of the episode is the introduction of a segmentation model that categorizes Latter-day Saints into six belief mindsets: Seekers, Cultivators, Protectors, Avoiders, Connectors, and Explorers. Each segment is defined by its unique values and priorities, with Protectors making up a significant portion of church leadership. Jeff and Kurt discuss the implications of this model, emphasizing that a church comprised solely of one segment would lack the richness and diversity necessary for a thriving community. Understanding these different mindsets can help church leaders foster a more inclusive environment that accommodates a broader range of beliefs and experiences. Jeff encourages listeners to embrace the complexities of faith and community, recognizing that the presence of tension can lead to growth and deeper understanding. 00:02:20 - Embracing Differences in Faith Exploring how to reconcile different perspectives within the church community. 00:05:01 - Tension in Church Experience Discussion on the tension between tradition and change in church experiences. 00:08:01 - The Importance of Differences Recognizing that differences among members are natural and beneficial. 00:10:12 - A Story of the Kingfisher and Magpies A metaphorical story illustrating the challenges of being different in a community. 00:11:10 - Strengths of Church Culture Overview of the strengths identified in the church culture based on research. 00:12:42 - Weaknesses of Church Culture Discussion on the weaknesses and challenges faced within the church culture. 00:14:31 - Patterns of Judgment and Conformity Identifying patterns of judgment and conformity that create tension in the community. 00:16:53 - Experiencing Tension in the Church Sharing personal experiences of members feeling tension within the church culture. 00:19:19 - Natural Man vs.
