Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
If you have ever felt disconnected with your spouse- particularly in the area of communication- this episode is especially for you. Steven and his wife, Tracy, walked through more than two decades of disconnection. Twenty-five years is a long time to feel lost in your marriage. To feel like no matter what you try, you just can't find your way back to each other. They loved God. They were raising six children together. They wanted their marriage to thrive. But somehow, they kept missing each other. Their communication felt off, and it wasn't just about words—it was about how every part of their life as a couple felt misaligned. Marriage Problems After 25 Years: Feeling Stuck and Disconnected Steven and Tracy did what many couples in their situation try to do. They sought help. They met with counselors and pastors. They heard wise advice. But for some reason, it just didn't seem to stick in their day-to-day lives. They felt like they were doing all the right things, yet their relationship still felt strained. The alignment they hoped for—spiritually, emotionally, practically—kept slipping through their fingers. It's hard to describe how wearying that becomes over time. You start to wonder if it will ever change, or if you're destined to just live alongside each other, rather than truly enjoy the beauty of partnership that marriage is meant to be. Signs of Hope: When One Spouse Begins to Change What began to open things up wasn't what Steven expected. He started to notice a softness in Tracy. A new warmth in her communication. She seemed more open, more willing to engage in conversations in a way that felt safe and inviting. And that tenderness in her sparked something in him. He realized, deep in his heart, that he wanted to experience that same kind of shift. He didn't want to keep circling the same frustrations. He wanted his heart to change too—not just so things would feel better, but because he longed to love her well. There's something so beautiful about that. Sometimes, it's the gentle transformation in one spouse that awakens the hope in the other. And that's exactly what happened for Steven. How Focusing on Personal Growth Can Transform Your Marriage What truly began to move the needle for Steven was recognizing where his focus had been all along. For many years, like so many of us, he had been looking at his wife's responses, her choices, her attitude. But when he started to reflect more deeply, he realized the bigger breakthrough would come from within himself. That shift—from focusing outward to focusing inward—was a game changer. Instead of waiting for Tracy to change, he opened his heart to the changes God wanted to do in him. He began to see how his own patterns of thought and communication were shaping their dynamic. And as he leaned into that growth, the atmosphere of their marriage began to change. Learning to Communicate Better in Marriage Steven described it as learning to dance. For years, he and Tracy were moving to different rhythms. Even when they had good intentions, they kept stepping on each other's toes. When you don't know the steps, no matter how much you love the other person, the dance feels clumsy. Missteps are frustrating and discouraging. But as Steven grew in understanding and grace, he began to move in rhythm with his wife. He learned how to lead with humility and gentleness. And as he did, Tracy responded. She became more willing to follow his lead—not because she was forced to, but because it felt safe and loving to do so. Their dance transformed from awkward steps to something fluid, connected, and beautiful. Why Humility Is Key to a Stronger Marriage What I find so deeply inspiring about Steven's journey is the way he embraced humility. He didn't cling to pride. He didn't stay stuck in frustration, demanding that his wife change first. Instead, he knelt before God—both literally and figuratively—and opened his heart to being transformed himself. That posture of surrender made space for God to work powerfully in his life and marriage. And it's a reminder for all of us: no matter how broken things feel, when we choose humility and invite God into our hearts and homes, He begins to weave a story of redemption that's more beautiful than we could have imagined. What a Healthy Marriage Looks Like After Healing Today, Steven and Tracy still face challenges, but what's different now is how they handle them. What used to take days, weeks, or even months to resolve now takes minutes—sometimes even seconds. They've learned to recognize when they're drifting out of alignment and come back quickly to unity and connection. Their marriage isn't just surviving anymore. It's thriving. There's joy. There's intimacy. There's a deep excitement about what God is continuing to do in their relationship. It's a miracle of grace, truly. There Is Hope for Your Marriage, Too Friend, if you find yourself where Steven once was—tired, discouraged, wondering if things will ever change—I want you to hear this clearly: there is a way forward. Take courage. Let hope rise in your heart. Open yourself to the possibility that the story isn't over—and that the next chapter could be more beautiful than you've imagined.

Trigger warning: AlcoholAustralians have a complicated relationship with alcohol and it's not helped by how we have created the idea that people only have problems with alcohol if they are complete alcoholics. The reality is that binge drinking and how we associate with alcohol is a lot more nuanced and a lot more destructive than we realise.That is what Kathryn Elliot discovered when she made the decision to quit alcohol after decades of binge drinking.Now, Kathryn is one of Australia's leading alcohol and binge drinking coaches for high-functioning professionals, drawing from her own experience as a former binge drinker. Her expertise is regularly featured in national media, and she works with professionals to change their mindset around alcohol through tailored coaching programs. Kathryn also leads SipSmart corporate workshops on alcohol's impact in the workplace and serves on advisory committees for alcohol awareness initiatives.In this episode she shares:What was her life like before she made her big changeWhat her drinking was like and why it was problematicThe destructive narratives she had inside her head around her drinkingHow her drinking problems started from her youthHow the 'good parts' about that aspect of her life reinforced her binge drinkingThe impact her drinking lifestyle had on her expectations of herselfWhat one of her worst days during that time looked likeWhat changed for her and why she changedThe realisation she had about how it wasn't her faultThe big hurdles she had to overcome to live without alcoholThe cancer diagnosis that further impacted her life shortly after she stopped drinkingThe changes and healing she has gone through recently Key Quotes“Sometimes blackout drinking...It would be embarrassing coming home to baby sitters who would see me in a very drunk state.”“I didn't realise that binge drinking was problematic drinking.

How to turn latent motivation into fuel for change.If you want to be a changemaker, you'll have to convince others to join your cause. But according to Dan Heath, persuading your audience isn't about creating new motivation — it's about leveraging the motivation that's already there.“The most important fuel for any change effort is motivation,” says Heath, the number-one New York Times bestselling author of Reset: How to Change What's Not Working. Instead of struggling to persuade people to want what you want, Heath suggests finding where your goals overlap with the things they already desire. "Before you even get to persuasion, if you can just tap and unleash the energy that's already there, you've already catapulted yourself toward success,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Heath and host Matt Abrahams explore how to create more compelling communication using “leverage points,” or as Heath says, “where a little bit of effort yields a disproportionate return.” Whether getting buy-in from one teammate or achieving change across an entire organization, Heath shares practical tips for turning latent motivation into an engine for change.Get more done with Grammarly.

Important Context: Some of the changes I discuss in this episode aren't officially announced or reflected on the NDIS website. However, feedback from a large number of parents who completed my survey suggests these changes are happening as the NDIS plans are reviewed or when new applications go in. There is a huge amount of inconsistency within the NDIS with unclear definitions and varying levels of expertise from NDIS planners who make eligibility decisions. Providers are witnessing these issues firsthand, but some remain silent out of fear that speaking up could jeopardise their AHPRA registration, Medicare provider number, and the careers they've worked tirelessly to build.While the National Autism Strategy offers exciting long-term initiatives, many families are telling me through my survey that they're struggling right now with reduced funding, shifting eligibility criteria, and the emotional toll of navigating these changes.What this episode covers:NDIS Reforms: What parents are saying about how these changes are affecting their children's access to supports.The National Autism Strategy: Why it's a positive step forward but doesn't address the immediate needs of families.Early Intervention Gaps: How families are being left without support during a critical stage of development.Stories from Parents: Real experiences shared through my survey, highlighting the challenges and confusion around these changes.Advocating for Change: What we can do together to push for transparency and better support.What you can do:Share Your Story: Add your experience to my survey or join the conversation in the ADHD Mums Facebook Group.Write to Your Local MP: Advocate for clearer communication and better support for families.Spread Awareness: Share this episode and discuss these issues with your community.If you'd like to read more:Summary of NDIS Changes on 3rd October 2024 can be found HERE and I have a free resource HERE.Early Intervention Requirements FAQ linked HEREADHD Mums Jotform Survey is HERE JOIN THE COMMUNITY:Have questions or want to connect with other ADHD mums?

When people get stuck in their job or personal life, the common response is to either work harder or shrug and accept that "that's just the way things are."My guest today has a much better solution to getting moving and making progress again.Dan Heath is a bestselling author whose latest book is Reset: How to Change What's Not Working. Today on the show, Dan shares how to escape from ineffective systems and the inertia of continuing to do things the way they've always been done by pressing on leverage points — places where a little bit of effort yields disproportionate returns. Dan explains why you need "to go and see the work," why meaningful change requires "restacking resources," how short, focused "bursts" of effort often accomplish more than prolonged campaigns, how sometimes being inefficient can actually make us more effective, and more. Along the way, Dan shares plenty of stories and examples that illustrate how to implement these principles into your work, relationships, and family.Resources Related to the PodcastDan's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Episode #591 — Solve Problems Before They Become ProblemsAoM Article: You Need a Reset DayAoM Podcast #896: The Art and Science of Getting UnstuckYouTube video: Spotify Engineering CultureConnect With Dan HeathDan's website

He shares real-life examples of how leaders and teams broke through seemingly intractable work situations. Heath is the author of the new book Reset: How to Change What's Not Working.

One fear many air travelers have is catching a cold or some other bug when they fly on an airplane. Why is it that a lot of people seem to get sick on a flight? Is it the air in the plane or maybe it's the bathrooms? Listen as I explain what the most common cause of getting sick is and how to protect yourself. https://www.healthpartners.com/blog/avoid-getting-sick-while-flying/ We often do things because – well, that's the way we do things. Organizations are often very resistant to change and stay stuck in procedures and processes because that's just the way they are done – even if they are not working very well. When you think about it, it doesn't make any sense but nevertheless, that's the way it is. Dan Heath has examined this phenomenon and what he found will fascinate you – and help you figure ways to do things better for yourself or your organization. Dan has been a frequent guest here and has written some great books over the years. His latest is called Reset: How to Change What's Not Working (https://amzn.to/3DCbB4E) Have you ever noticed how time tends to speed up when you are having fun and slow down when you are doing something unpleasant or boring? It's weird because objectively we know that time moves at a constant speed – or does it? Is the way we measure time just arbitrary? Can we and do we experience time at different rates? For example, people often claim that when they are in a car accident, time slows down as if it occurs in slow motion. What is that? Here to explore this with me is Steve Taylor, PhD. He is a senior lecturer and researcher in psychology at Leeds Beckett University and he is author of the book Time Expansion Experiences: The Psychology of Time Perception and the Illusion of Linear Time (https://amzn.to/4gNpvzz) How many times have you looked at photos of yourself and been unhappy with the way you look? Well, there is something you can do with your face that will make you look better in any photo. It's called the squinch and it was developed by legendary photographer Peter Hurley. Listen as I explain how to squinch. There is also a YouTube video that demonstrates it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff7nltdBCHs PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

In this episode, I address a common struggle among leaders: the tendency to delay important decisions that could improve their lives. Whether it's waiting until the next month or the new year, many leaders and CEOs fall into the trap of hesitation when it comes to creating meaningful change. I challenge you to stop waiting and take action now, as the change you're looking for begins the moment you decide to ask for help.Key Quotes"The catalytic moment you are longing for in your life comes right on the other side of clarity.""Why do we consistently wait to make a decision when we know we need change?""You didn't get to where you are today by yourself, so why do you believe you need to tackle the next challenge alone?"The Cost of WaitingMany leaders struggle with taking decisive action when they know change is needed. Instead of seizing the moment, they push it off to a future date, hoping circumstances will magically change. In this episode, I explore the mindset behind waiting and the ways it can prevent you from reaching your full potential. I encourage you to stop waiting for the “right” time and start asking: What are you waiting for?The Struggle to Ask for HelpOne of the biggest barriers to taking action is the reluctance to ask for help. Many leaders believe that seeking support is a sign of weakness, yet they forget that they didn't achieve their current success alone. I challenge the notion that you have to go it alone and explain how asking for help can be the key to unlocking the next level of your personal and professional growth.Condensing Time by Asking for HelpI share how working with clients who are willing to ask for help can dramatically condense time and produce results faster. When you have someone to guide you, growth becomes more intentional, and you're able to solve problems before they escalate. By dedicating just an hour of time to personal growth each week, you can see immense change, as demonstrated by a client who transformed her life and business after asking for help.Client Success Story: Overcoming StagnationI recount a powerful success story of a client in the creative space whose business had plateaued after a decade. Through coaching, she was able to break through the stagnation, increase her revenue by 111%, build a stronger team, and create new opportunities. Her life began to change the moment she admitted she needed help. This story illustrates the power of action and clarity in driving transformation.Identifying Areas for ChangeWhat area of your life are you waiting to change? Whether it's personal, professional, financial, emotional, or relational, identifying where you want to grow is the first step. The EPS Matrix I use with clients helps provide a snapshot of where you are today and where you want to be, giving you clarity and direction for the journey ahead.Final Thoughts and EncouragementThe moment of clarity you are seeking might be as simple as acknowledging that it's time to ask for help. The waiting game ends when you take the first step toward change. Today, I challenge you to ask yourself: What are you waiting for? And is today the day you finally take action?Resources MentionedMy website: Rocky GarzaUpcoming free live virtual event: rockygarza.com/beyondsuccessConnect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rockygarza Key Time Stamps00:00 Introduction: The Waiting Game01:05 Welcome to the Rocky Garza Show02:18 The Cost of Waiting03:42 The Struggle to Ask for Help04:37 The Reality of Self-Sufficiency06:30 Condensing Time by Asking for Help06:45 Finding Time for Personal Growth07:17 Client Success Story: Overcoming Stagnation07:50 The Power of Asking for Help08:48 Transformative Results and New Beginnings10:23 Identifying Areas for Change10:44 Utilizing the EPS Matrix11:37 Final Thoughts and EncouragementTo join Rocky for his next free virtual event, go to https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccessSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/trgs/donations
