Send us a textOne of the biggest challenges for people pleasers is the fear of disappointing, inconveniencing, or hurting others. As women, we have often been programmed to avoid these situations in order to maintain happy and peaceful relationships since childhood. But how can we truly find happiness and peace when we constantly betray our own wants and needs to avoid conflict and keep others satisfied? In today's episode, I speak with Celeste Davis, who writes about deconstructing patriarchy and learning how to take up more space in the world as a woman on her Substack, Matriarchal Blessing. We explore the themes of her essay, "The Cost of Chronic Accommodation," which addresses the sacrifices women make to ensure the happiness of others—and how to break that cycle. Here's what we cover:The invisible cost of never prioritizing your own desiresHow a woman's self-sacrifice is expected and even romanticized by our societyWhy doormat or b*tch are not your only options for how you show up–there is a middle ground where you can assert yourselfHow social structures that depend on doing invisible work for free keep women from valuing our time and energy Two unique definitions of boundaries to help you protect what is sacred to youHow to deal with the avalanche of emotions–fear, anxiety, shame, guilt–that you have been programmed to feel when you disappoint someoneI can't wait for you to listen.Terri Cole on the We Can Do Hard Things Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/are-you-a-high-functioning-codependent-find-out/id1564530722?i=1000703548035 Find Celeste here:https://celestemdavis.substack.com/http://celestemdavis.substack.com/p/hidden-costs-of-accommodation https://celestemdavis.substack.com/aboutFind Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?

Join John and Margi as they interview spiritual director, Celeste Davis. Celeste was born and raised in the church, went to BYU, served a mission in Slovenia, and married in the temple. For many years Celeste wrote for the Church's official blog and, as of today, those articles can still be found there. During the church's involvement with Prop 8 and the 2015 Exclusion Policy, Celeste's husband began to lose hope in the church. Celeste grappled with the burden of holding her family in Mormonism but began to question even God himself. Who is God and how can we have a relationship with him?   Episode Show Notes   YouTube Link   Mormon Stories Thanks Our Generous Donors!

Join Celeste and I as we discuss the book “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” by Yuval Noah Harari, which we both recently read and enjoyed! Celeste is a fellow former Mormon who uses beautifully- articulated essays to process her faith deconstruction. Reading “Sapiens” caused us both to confront numerous narratives we were taught about the human species both in our former religion, as well as in our societal culture. We break down our biggest takeaways from the book, the things that made our heads hurt, and aspects we experienced dissonance with. Whether you've read the book or not, we hope you enjoy our banter about how our views have changed about humans!Follow Celeste and her essays:https://www.instagram.com/celestemdavis/Follow & Support the Show: https://linktr.ee/theexistentialgingerBuy your copy of "Sapiens" by Yuval Noah Harari here https://amzn.to/3bVmH49This podcast is Executive Produced by White Horse Media Group: https://therealwhmg.com

In this episode, I interview Celeste Davis, who, over the last five or so years, has had a number of experiences that opened her eyes to see more than the limited perspectives of God and love that her religion had to offer. Celeste shares one of her awakening experiences that occurred while in a meditation group where she discovered Big Love, or the true, unbounded love that exists within all of us. Celeste and I talk spiritual books, spiritual philosophy, the fear that stops us from changing, and several other topics related to faith transition in this fun and impactful episode. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lucid-spiritual/support

When the rubber pacifier hits the road, we rarely turn out to be the moms we thought we would be—but in so many ways we’re better than those fantasy moms we dreamed up.

Ever feel like you're not sexy because you don't look like Jessica Rabbit, or fit some sort of cultural ideal that someone else handed down to you?  In this Sexpert Interview, I talk with Celeste Davis from Marriage Laboratory. She's a super smart (and funny) marriage nerd that has put in the hard work herself and has a lot of wonderful things to share. In this podcast we discuss topics such as: The Love Language experiments she and her husband did, and what surprised her about each one How to develop a healthy self image How being authentic and drawing on your own natural gifts is really sexy! How to discover your own version of “sexy” instead of comparing yourself to somebody else's image How to peel back the onion layers and work on yourself to be the very best version of you How to keep your sex life alive and strong for the long haul Celeste finishes the interview with some awesome “black belt” intimacy tips to take your marriage and lovemaking to the next level.

Do you feel frustrated with your partner when they don’t follow the bedtime routine that you have worked so hard to develop for your child (https://3in30podcast.com/captivate-podcast/power-of-moms/) ? Or is your spouse’s tendency to coddle or spoil the kids really driving you crazy? Or maybe it’s the opposite--their tendency to scold or punish the kids differently than you would prefer. If so, you’re not alone.  This episode with Celeste Davis is going to free you from carrying the burden of that dynamic in your home--and I think it’s going to make everyone in your family much happier and more peaceful. Celeste Davis, a marriage researcher and sociologist who shares her insights into successful relationships on her blog, Marriage Laboratory, and the podcast, Marriage Theraoke tells us WHY to do this and HOW!  Three Takeaways from Celeste Davis Your PARTNER is not your enemy (but disconnection with your partner is!)  DIFFERENCE is not your enemy (but anxiety over differences is!)  IMPERFECTION is not your enemy (but intolerance of imperfection is!)  Quotes from this episode:"Researcher Ellen Galinsky asked over a thousand kids ages 8 to 18, if they could change just one thing about their parents, what it would be? And they also asked the parents what they thought, and all of the parents, full of guilt, said, “Oh they probably want to spend more time with me...” And no. The kids said their wish would be for their parents to be less stressed. And when you think about what’s stressing us out–our parenting is stressing us out. We’re so stressed by doing the discipline right, and the homework, and the sports, and everything by the book…it’s stressing us out and that’s what’s causing the disconnect." "It’s a really beautiful thing to show your kids that there’s more than one way to solve a problem. There’s more than one way to do a lot of different things...And it’s also a really beautiful way to demonstrate how to treat someone who has different ideas than us, right? We demonstrate to our kids that when someone has a different idea than us, we don’t shut them down; we don’t disrespect them; we don’t pressure them; we don’t silent treatment them. We listen, and we treat them with respect, and we honor their agency, and we can work things out, and we can state our desires, and we can state our frustrations, but we still listen." "My favorite marriage quote that is from Dr. David Schnarch: 'The most loving thing we can do for our spouse is to learn to regulate our own anxiety.' When we are unable to regulate our anxiety, it’s going to spew inadvertently all over our spouse, and we’re going to expect them to validate us, and it’s just going to come out in a lot of unloving ways. And the most loving thing we can do for our kids is to learn to regulate our anxiety about our kids. "The most loving thing I ever did for our family dynamic was take on the thought, truly take on the thought, 'My kids are fine.'"  Full Transcript For a full transcript of the episode, click here (https://3in30podcast.com/episode-115-transcript/) .    Links Mentioned in Today’s Show Marriage Laboratory (https://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/author/celeste-davis/) Marriage Theraoke (https://www.marriagelaboratory.com/marriage-theraoke-podcast/) To Raise Happy Kids, Put Your Marriage First by David Code (https://www.amazon.com/Raise-Happy-Kids-Marriage-First/dp/0824525388) I nstagram at @marriagelaboratory (https://www.instagram.com/marriagelaboratory/?hl=en) Episode 24 “Fighting Against Mom-Guilt.” (https://3in30podcast.com/captivate-podcast/mom-guilt/) Series about mixed-faith couples from Celeste's blog (https://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/category/faith-transitions/) Sponsor This month’s sponsor is InfantSEE®.

What if you want so much more, but you don’t even know where to start?Let’s see what Alma had to say about this:“But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words.” -Alma 32:27In other words, if you’ve got a desire to have an awesome marriage, then you’ve already begun. The next step is to slap on those rubber gloves and protective goggles and start experimenting.experimentex·per·i·ment   ikˈsperəmənt noun: a course of action tentatively adopted without being sure of the eventual outcome.verb: try out new concepts or ways of doing things.My favorite part of this definition is, “without being sure of the eventual outcome.” Sometimes you need to step out of your comfort zone and give something a try even if you have no idea what is going to come out of it. (See 1 Nephi 4:6-7)In this week’s episode of the podcast, we sat down with Celeste and Rich Davis from the Marriage Laboratory to talk about the importance of experimenting.

Her ideas of how to find those answers are brilliant!

Do you and your spouse speak the same love languages? My husband, Ryan, and I do *not.* I am a words girl. I love them, I need them. My husband is a man of few words. He craves quality time. There have been times in my marriage when I have resented that he doesn't show me love in the "right" way, but in the past few years, I've found contentment and respect for how he shows love. Listen to today's episode for three strategies to love your spouse (and feel loved by your spouse), just as they are.

Continuing our topic from last week on communication, Celeste Davis, from MarriageLaboratory.com, joins me in discussing different experiments she and her husband have conducted in their marriage to improve communication.  She also discusses a practice they call their Marriage Inventory, a weekly check-in that helps them communicate better and increase the connectivity in their relationship.

A good marriage takes work, that we know.  But when mental health struggles come up for one or both spouses, it can try the most important relationship of our lives in very unique ways.   Matt and Celeste Davis believe that facing these struggles together can instead make a marriage even better.  Both have taken turns struggling with depression (see their past solo episodes with me here and here!), so they know first-hand how to guide a spouse through a very difficult time.   The Davis family thrives off of openness, communication, vulnerability, and strength--both independently AND together.     Listen in to hear their tips for helping a spouse through a dark time, how you need to be a care-giver, not a savior, and that talking, talking, talking is the best thing you can do for your marriage.   Show Notes: Matt's past interview Celeste's past interview Last week's interviews with Ashton Barrett and Melissa Lewis Monica's Facebook and Instagram Contact Monica for podcast consulting and Progress Coaching More Podcasts from About Progress Song Credit: "Sweet Promise" and "Warm Lights" by Nicolai Heidlas

"I got this crazy idea in my head 3.5 years ago to start a marriage blog, but I had so many doubts, like 'Why would I do that? I'm not that great of a wife...' But the idea just coming back and back... And eventually I kind of thought, 'I can just try things and tell people how it went. I can experiment. I can conduct marriage experiments." This is the premise behind "Marriage Laboratory," a marriage blog run by Celeste Davis and her husband Rich (who happens to be a real-life scientist studying immunology). This past year, she conducted experiments on the five love languages by simply focusing on one per month. Today on the podcast, Celeste will share some of her experiments and outcomes in the following areas:   1) Words of Affirmation: Send your husband a loving note, text, or email every day for a month2) Quality Time: Dedicate ten minutes every single night to just sitting and talking with your spouse, with no phones anywhere in sight!3) Physical Touch: Have sex every other day for a month (don't worry--she doesn't get too steamy on this one, but her story is pretty fascinating) Don't miss this conversation with a wife and mother who is dedicating her life to loving her family better, in simple but profound ways.   Show Notes -Celeste's marriage blog, Marriage Laboratory: http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/ (http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/) - by Gary Chapman: (https://www.amazon.com/Love-Languages-Secret-that-Lasts/dp/080241270X) 1) Words of Affirmation -"42 Love Letter Prompts": http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/42-love-letter-prompts/ (http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/42-love-letter-prompts/) -"40 Loving Texts to Send RIGHT NOW to Make Your Partner's Day": http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/40-loving-texts/ (http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/40-loving-texts/) 2) Quality Time -"10-Minute Daily Connect Challenge": http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/10-minute-daily-connect-busy-couples/ (http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/10-minute-daily-connect-busy-couples/) -"The Ultimate Guide to Speaking the Love Language of Quality Time": http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/quality-time-love-language-guide/ (http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/quality-time-love-language-guide/) -Article Rachel read about "bids for attention": https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/06/happily-ever-after/372573/ (https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/06/happily-ever-after/372573/) 3) Physical Touch -"6 Resources for Spicing Up Your Marriage in the Bedroom": http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/spice-up-your-marriage/ (http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/spice-up-your-marriage/) -"What Would Happen If You Had Sex Every Other Day for a Month?": http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/sex-every-other-day/ (http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/sex-every-other-day/) 4) Gifts -"46 Just Because Gift Ideas to Make Your Spouse's Day": http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/just-because-gift-ideas/ (http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/just-because-gift-ideas/) -"DIY Anniversary Gifts (that we've actually made)": http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/diy-anniversary-gifts/ (http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/diy-anniversary-gifts/) 5) Acts of Service -"The Best Way to Get Your Marriage Out of a Rut": http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/marriage-out-of-a-rut/ (http://www.marriagelaboratory.com/blog/marriage-out-of-a-rut/)      

"Something I’ve really internalized is that it’s never to late to create the kind of life that you want, or to uncreate the life you’re not cool with . . . It’s never too late to enjoy your life, it’s never to late to feel like you have more control over something, even if it’s just as simple as changing the way you think about it."   By the age of 19, Celeste had already abandoned her modeling career and experienced the ending her first marriage.  After these low-lows, Celeste decided that instead of wallowing in her sorrows, she wanted to pick up her life, own her struggles, and move onward and upward.  And she did just that.   Celeste shares how owning her struggles helped her find the strength to forgive her ex AND herself through grace, and move forward to finding a new man who helped her learn to trust again.  This strength also pushed her through the hard times her life still brought, including her husband's battles with mental health and her own fight with postpartum depression.   Celeste's surprise cure to her depression?  She joined a beauty pageant.  (No one was more shocked about this move than herself!) You'll love hearing about how the pageant helped her regain her confidence, changed the way she viewed herself, and formed lifelong friendships, but it also taught her the great importance of finding something that was just for her and that provided that self-care she learned was necessary to being the woman she wants to be.   You'll also love to hear how Celeste found natural childbirth helped empower her, what helped her get through two back-to-back miscarriages, what she does for self-care, and the power of good girlfriends.   Show Notes: Celeste's Instagram Podcast Episode with Matt Davis (Celeste's husband) Free Audiobook through Audible!
