516-A Pastor with a "Prostitute" Mindset Changed His Ways: Jerry's Story There's a quiet frustration many good men carry. You've tried to talk. You've tried to suggest counseling, books, podcasts—something. You've even tried explaining your heart. And still… she doesn't seem to listen. Doesn't engage. Doesn't change. If that's you, let me say this gently but clearly: God may be asking you to go first. And yes—that can feel unfair. But it is also where real transformation begins. When You Find Yourself Becoming Someone You Didn't Want to Be One husband recently shared that after nearly three decades of marriage and years of faithful ministry, he found himself in a place he never expected. Not because his marriage had been bad. But because it was changing—and he wasn't prepared. His wife's body was changing. Their season of life was shifting. Transitions piled up. And slowly, something in him hardened. He was becoming "grouchy" and "crusty". He said it plainly: "I just didn't like how I was becoming… and I didn't like how I was treating my wife." That awareness matters. Because most men don't wake up one day intending to pressure, resent, or withdraw. It happens subtly—when expectations go unmet and entitlement slowly but surely begins to creep in. A Marriage That Became Transactional Instead of Sacrifical Many men come to this work believing, "If my wife would just listen… if she would just change… then we'd be okay." But here's the truth that was exposed in this man's life: he was living transactionally. "I didn't realize I was living in a transactional relationship until those transactions weren't happening." In other words: I give love → I expect intimacy. I serve → I expect responsiveness. This man had never thought of himself as transactional—until intimacy slowed and frustration surged. That's when God began to do the deeper work. Take the Focus Off Intimacy to Heal Intimacy One of the most countercultural invitations men hear in this process is simple—and deeply uncomfortable: Take your foot off the gas. Not forever. But for now. Because a woman cannot open her body when her heart doesn't feel safe. She needs to feel safe, known, and wholeheartedly cherished—especially in seasons of vulnerability like menopause, grief, exhaustion, or long-term transition. This husband learned that before asking anything of his wife, God was asking him to rebuild safety. And that required humility. The "Prostitute" Mindset Going through the Masculinity Reclaimed process, this man shared something that he learned that changed everything for him: "[Belah said] you guys are treating your wives like prostitutes. And the fact that you are not making them feel safe. You are not making them feel fully known...and you are not wholeheartedly cherishing your wives. Yet, you know, you flip the switch at...10 o'clock, 11 o'clock at night, and you want intimacy, and you're getting grouchy or whatever when that doesn't happen." He had never seen it this way before, and it changed everything for him. It was painful to hear. And necessary. Because intimacy without safety and care doesn't feel like love to a woman—it feels like obligation. Doing the Work Made a Change in Their Marriage This man didn't tell his wife he was doing the work at first. But she noticed anyway. She noticed the listening. The gentleness. The apologies for things that happened years ago. And eventually, she asked. Change preached is often resisted. Change embodied is felt. Yes, intimacy improved. But that's not what this husband points to as the greatest win. He says the real transformation was internal: Healthier expectations A reordered life A clearer understanding of his responsibility as a man Final Encouragement If you're waiting for your wife to change before you soften… If you're tempted to push, convince, or withdraw… If you're tired of feeling unseen… Hear this: God honors the man who goes first. Not the man who wins the argument. You are not alone. And this is not the end of your story. It may be the beginning of the truest work God has ever done in you. You can do this, sir. God bless you!

Take our free Marital Health Assessment and see what your marital score is–and how we can help. PPPS – Here is a quote from (another) recent graduate: "We argued a lot. Said hurtful things to each other. Raised voices in front of the kids. Less emotional connection generally. Sex felt merely physical and not emotionally connected...not fulfilling. Usually felt like duty. And I have always been initiating and my wife has often complained about that...[Now], I've become more contented and patient and focused on her needs and a better listener I think. She says our home has less tension since I've been doing the program. I take that as a win! She has initiated twice in the past 2 weeks! Very rare before this!"

Send us a textIt's a new year, and maybe you caught yourself thinking: This is the year we finally work on us.Not in a dramatic, “we're getting divorced” way. More like… you're tired of the same tension. The same looping conversations. That familiar bracing-in-your-body feeling when you can tell another hard talk is coming.And if you're wondering, Why does this still feel so hard if we love each other? this episode is for you.In this week's episode we're unpacking the real reason relationship resolutions fall apart. Not because you don't care. Not because you're not trying. But because most “relationship goals” are outcomes… and nobody taught you the skills required to create them.You'll hear why common promises like:“We'll communicate better”“We'll fight less”“We'll stop bringing up the past”“We'll spend more quality time together”sound logical, but often backfire… especially when emotions spike and your nervous system takes the wheel.Inside the episode, we talk about:Why “just talk about it” isn't a strategy (and what has to come before big talks)The difference between living in the courtroom (judging, building a case) vs the classroom (learning what's actually happening)What couples therapy often gets wrong early on: digging into problems before building safety and permissionHow resentment builds when one partner tries to “grind through” change on willpower aloneWhy avoiding conflict creates a slow-burn disconnection (yes, we go there… hello emotional constipation)A simple way to think about relationship skills: love is fuel, but skills are the steering wheel and brakesIf you've ever made the resolution to “be better this year” and then found yourselves right back in the same patterns by February… this will land.And if you're listening thinking, Okay… but what do we do now? That's exactly what a Clarity Call is for.It's a short, supportive conversation with Tom to help you:name what's actually breaking down (without turning it into a blowup)identify the specific skills that are missing or misfiringleave with a clear next step that fits your situationNo pressure. No therapy-speak. No trying to “fix everything” in one call. Just clarity and direction.
Christina Lecuyer is kicking off 2026 with a grounded, refreshing perspective: no New Year's resolutions, no hustle, and no pressure to have it all figured out by January 1.Recorded just before Christmas, this episode shares how Christina is approaching 2026 with intention, flexibility, and a deep focus on mindset over rigid strategy. She reminds listeners that real change doesn't need a specific date and that you can decide to start fresh on any random Tuesday, whenever it actually feels aligned.Christina breaks down what truly drives long-term success in business and life: consistency, accountability, self-trust, and the ability to move through mindset blocks quickly. She also pulls back the curtain on what she's seeing with her clients heading into 2026, how they're avoiding burnout, regulating their nervous systems, and creating businesses that allow them to work less while making more.If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating and leave us a comment on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox about what you'd like us to talk about that will help you realize that at any moment, any day, you too can decide, it's your turn!
Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.
What if "failing" to meet your goals could actually support your growth more than easy success ever could?Looking back on my business goals for 2025, I can honestly say that I am incredibly grateful for NOT hitting my revenue goals!Transforming my relationship with failure this year has left me feeling more confident, capable, grateful and happy than I have ever been in my life! Which is what inspired me to record today's podcast episode all about how to find GOLD in your failure.
In this episode of The Catholic Sobriety Podcast, I'm joined by Christian life coach and longtime Al-Anon member Sallee New. Sallee shares her story of growing up in a home shaped by alcoholism and how faith, healing, and community helped her move from chaos to peace. Together, we explore what it means to love someone struggling with addiction without losing yourself, how to set calm, faith-based boundaries, and the difference between compassion and enabling. We also talk about forgiveness as an ongoing practice, breaking generational patterns, and how prayer and the sacraments play a powerful role in healing families touched by addiction.

515-New Years Resolutions with Hope Happy New Year! If you're reading this a couple days into 2026—welcome. And if you're reading this in the middle of 2037, it still applies. Because God is still on the throne. He is still a good Father. And He is still interested in crafting and molding your heart—especially in the middle of real life… including the hard parts. Put Your Growth Mindset On (Yes, Literally) If you've been in our Delight Your Marriage sphere for any length of time, you know I'm a little obsessed with growth. So, the New Year is one of the things I look forward to the most. I want to share something that we do in coaching calls. It can honestly look silly… but it works. We put our hands over our heads like a hat and we say: "Put your growth mindset on." Why? Because the posture matters. A growth mindset says: "God can change me." "I'm not finished yet." "This isn't the end of my story." "My marriage isn't stuck forever." A fixed mindset says: "This is just how I am." "Take it or leave it." "This is all there is." For us as believers, a growth mindset is a reflection of our faith. Our hope is rooted in a God who raises the dead (Romans 8:11), who changes hearts of stone into hearts of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26), and who redeems the years the locusts have stolen (Joel 2:25). Having a growth mindset is a reflection of the hope we have in Jesus. A New Year Reflection That Actually Changes You Here's what I like to do around the New Year (and yes, if you haven't done it yet, you still have time). I go month by month through the previous year and write down what I remember—hard things, good things, major moments, heartache, breakthroughs. Then, I pray: "God, what do You want me to learn from this year?" Because honestly… if He doesn't bring it to mind, maybe it isn't the thing He wants me to carry forward. Then after I list the moments, I write two categories: Wins Learnings Not because I'm trying to build a scrapbook of accomplishments or places I fell short, but because I'm trying to build wisdom. When You've Been Crushed… God Is Doing Something There's a passage in 2 Corinthians 1 where Paul describes being: utterly weighed down crushed despairing of life itself And then he says this: 7 And our hope for you [our confident expectation of good for you] is firmly grounded [assured and unshaken], since we know that just as you share as partners in our sufferings, so also you share as partners in our comfort. 8 For we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about our trouble in [the west coast province of] Asia, how we were utterly burdened beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life [itself]. 9 Indeed, we felt within ourselves that we had received the sentence of death and were convinced that we would die, but this happened so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead. 10 He has rescued us from so great a danger of death, and will rescue us; on Him we have set our hope [and confident expectation] that He will continue to rescue us. -2 Corinthians 1:7–10 (AMP) That suffering was to keep them from trusting in themselves… and to depend on God who raises the dead. Friend… what if that pain you walked through wasn't proof God forgot you? What if it was proof He was calling you deeper? Not into self-reliance. Not into "I'll just manage." But into dependence. And yes, dependence feels vulnerable. But it's also where hope is born. And we have a God that we CAN depend on. So wherever you relied on yourself this past year… know you can rely on God. The Subtle Trap: Distracting Yourself Instead of Depending on God Sometimes sneaks in during suffering: Distraction. When we hurt, we're tempted to numb. A screen. A scroll. A snack. A show. A YouTube rabbit hole. A constant something to get us away from feelings that are uncomfortable. And the question becomes: What am I trusting to comfort me? Is it God? Or is it a coping mechanism—even a "normal" one—that quietly replaces Him? If we want to be dependent on God, it must be for our comfort too. You Can Do "Christian Things" and Still Miss Love In thinking of resolutions for the new year, we need to also think about the heart behind it. I want you to take into consideration 1 Corinthians 13. It is not just a wedding reading. It's a mirror. You can do all sorts of impressive things: serve teach sacrifice prophesy lead build give generously …and Scripture says: if it isn't done in love, it amounts to nothing. So here's a New Year question that matters more than "Did I hit my goals?" Did I love? Conviction Is Kindness (And Shame Is Not From God) In thinking about growth for the new year, consider Hebrews 12. It says 'God disciplines those He loves.' So, conviction is not God crushing you. Conviction is God reminding you of truth. The world doesn't know what to do with guilt and shame—so they do mental gymnastics, or distract, or blame, or numb. But we know what to do. We run to Jesus. Because the gospel is not "try harder." The gospel is: Jesus lived the life we couldn't live, died the death we deserved, and made a way for us to walk in freedom. So whatever is being brought up as you look through your past year that you feel convicted of… good. That means you're alive. Now bring it to Him. Don't Forget to Thank God for the Ways He Changed You In all of this, in looking back at your past year and all the things you "checked off", don't forget to also say thank you. One of the most humbling moments in Scripture is when Jesus heals ten lepers… and only one comes back to thank Him. How many times have we prayed: "God, change me." …and then He does… …and we move on like it was our willpower? When God grows you—thank Him. Because He is good. Because He is faithful. Because your testimony becomes someone else's hope. Your Identity Isn't What People Say—It's What God Says Another thing to take into this year is that people may misunderstand you. They may assume motives, they may hold your past over your head, even after you've repented. And you know what? Jesus was falsely accused too. So yes, sometimes we process feedback and ask God: "Is there something I need to learn here?" But other times? You release it. Because your identity is: Beloved daughter. Beloved son. He created you. He delights over you. And He is not done with you. Do not let the misunderstandings of this past year stop you from stepping into who God wants you to be in this new year. Jesus Has a Yoke for You—and It's Lighter Than What You're Carrying Jesus says: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." -Matthew 11:28-30 So ask yourself: What have I been carrying that Jesus didn't ask me to carry? What do I need to leave behind in this past year? Social expectations? Other people's opinions? Constant stimulation? Endless noise? And then ask: What does it look like for me to come to Jesus? For me, it can look like: journaling on the couch with coffee and water worship on a walk playing the piano and singing to Him getting on my knees on the carpet and saying, "Lord, I need You." What about you? Because loving God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength is not just good in theory. It is meant to be a lived practice. Who Are You Assigned to Love This Year? Finally, this is about WHO your assignment is this year. In most seasons, your assignments go like this: your spouse your children (if you have them) the people God places in front of you And yes—when someone is suffering, priorities shift. We don't walk by wounded people like the Pharisee. But we also don't try to become the Holy Spirit for everyone. So here's a New Year question: Who is God calling me to love well—consistently—this year? Final Thoughts Maybe as you read this you're realizing: "I'm not patient or kind… not at home." "I don't know how to love my spouse well." "My spouse was so mean last year." "I was misunderstood by my friends and family." "I'm exhausted and numb and discouraged." We are here for you. And here's what I know after years of seeing real transformation: When God changes a man or a woman from the inside out… the marriage changes too. Not by manipulation or control. But by genuine love. We believe that this new year can be a year of incredible personal growth as well as beautiful transformation in your marriage. Don't let another year go by. We are here for you and we are rooting for you. Welcome to 2026!

Intimacy was fairly regular, but very regimented…[Now,] I have the tools…I already see a lot of personal change in so many specific ways in which I interact with my wife, how I focus on her…we've just enjoyed being together more, with mini dates to delight her, and so many little practices I'm implementing to revive her spirit"

Most producers say they want to dominate 2026, yet many are still waiting for permission. Waiting for the “right time” to invest in themselves. Waiting to see if someone else will sign off on it. That mindset quietly keeps people stuck—and it's far more common than most want to admit.In this episode, I sit down with my client and friend, Andy Neary, for an honest, no-fluff conversation about what actually holds high performers back. We talk about why driven professionals often struggle with self-worth, why chasing a “guaranteed ROI” can sabotage momentum, and how confidence isn't something you wait to feel—it's something you build by consistently showing up for yourself.This is a real conversation about responsibility, ownership, and what it takes to stop playing small as the new year approaches.About The Guest: Andy Neary is a speaker, author, podcast host, and coach dedicated to helping professionals build the mindset, habits, and strategies needed to excel in business and life. A former professional baseball player in the Milwaukee Brewers organization, Andy leveraged discipline, unshakeable drive, and consistent daily habits to succeed at the highest level — despite being undersized for his position.

Done for you business foundations in 90 days!You don't need to figure out all the tech before you start your business. You just need to start.If you're a healthcare professional thinking about leaving your job and starting your own business, chances are you've Googled this question more than once:“How do I start a business?”And then closed the tab because it was too overwhelming.Here's what I hear from people like you all the time:“I don't know what needs to happen first.”“I'm not a tech person—I don't even know where to begin.”“I'm still working full-time. How am I supposed to set all this up on the side?”“I want to look professional, but I feel like a beginner.”I get it. The back-end of running a business, including email, scheduling, payments, client forms, and website, can feel like a second full-time job.That's why I created a done-for-you service that sets up your business systems for you so that you can step into entrepreneurship without the tech stress.

In Episode 5 of Obedience: The Gateway to Freedom & Fullness, we explore the hidden obstacles that block obedience and keep believers from walking fully in God's will. This episode identifies the most common barriers Christians face when trying to obey God, including fear, comfort, pride, distractions, and unhealed wounds — and how to overcome them with grace and faith. In this episode, you'll learn: Why fear is the number one blocker of obedience How comfort and convenience delay spiritual growth Why pride and self-reliance hinder obedience How distractions silence God's voice Why healing is often required before obedience How to surrender obstacles without shame If you desire clarity, spiritual growth, and a deeper walk with God, this episode will help you identify what's holding you back and how to move forward in obedience. Perfect for Christian women seeking faith-based growth, obedience to God, hearing God's voice, and emotional healing. Resources:

In this episode, I share how I have been supporting my hormones over the past year as I reflect on being in early perimenopause (??!!). I talk through the mistakes I made, the tests that gave me the most useful insight, and the simple food, lifestyle and nervous system actions that made a real difference to my hormones, energy and cycle. I also share a short reflection on the year as a whole and what it has taught me about slowing down and listening to my body. This is an honest, practical episode for women in early perimenopause who want grounded guidance rather than overwhelm. If you would like personalised support with your hormones, energy or cycles, you can book a Clarity Call with me here

There was a time in my life when I didn't think I deserved better than what alcohol was doing to me.I knew — intellectually — that God loved me. But I didn't love myself. And somewhere along the way, I started believing the lie that this mess was mine to clean up alone.In this episode, I'm speaking to you the way I speak to a woman sitting across from me in coaching — honestly, gently, and without pressure. We talk about the real battle beneath drinking: the voices in your head, the shame that fuels the urge to numb, and how the enemy works through lies when we're at our weakest.You'll hear parts of my own story of breaking free from alcohol, how I learned to discern God's voice from the voice of accusation, and why alcohol often shows up as a “cheap substitute” right when healing is about to happen.We talk about:Why drinking often has more to do with shame than willpowerHow the enemy whispers lies about your identity when you're most vulnerableThe difference between conviction and condemnationWhy alcohol promises relief but ultimately deepens the painWhat it actually means to “take every thought captive”How learning to reject lies and claim truth changes everythingThis is a conversation about healing, identity, and freedom — not perfection.If this episode resonates with you, this is the kind of work we practice together inside the Sacred Sobriety Lab.

This week on Business Buying Strategies, we return to the behind-the-scenes recording of a live seminar where Jonathan Jay walks an audience of ambitious entrepreneurs through his proven approach to buying and growing businesses without using their own cash. Whether you're just getting started or you've tried the "DIY" route with limited results, this is a must-listen for anyone who wants a safer, smarter way to buy businesses. Jonathan breaks down: ✅ Why confidence matters more than cash — and how to build it ✅ What a leveraged buyout (LBO) really means in practical terms ✅ How to buy using seller finance, asset finance, invoice finance, and even the target business's own cash✅ Why he refuses to let clients sign personal guarantees — and what to do instead ✅ The truth about "no money down" deals — and why that term is misleading ✅ How to structure a deal that reduces risk and gets the seller paid ✅ Why most "rookie buyers" fail to get past deal sourcing — and how to go all the way to completion You'll also learn about the concept of the "deal jigsaw" — Jonathan's approach to combining multiple finance methods into one seamless, no-risk deal structure. Plus: How to pay yourself a deal fee at completion Why seller credibility is everything — and what to watch out for The 21-step roadmap Jonathan teaches to take you from ambition to acquisition How to secure exclusivity with sellers (and push away the competition) What to say during discovery calls and face-to-face meetings to maintain control of the process And why the best deals come from off-market businesses, not brokers Whether you're looking to make your first acquisition or scale through multiple deals, this episode delivers the strategic clarity most buyers never get.

Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
Christmas can feel magical.It can also feel exhausting. If you're a parent who secretly feels pressure rising as the holidays approach—the expectations, the mess, the emotions, the memories—you're not alone. And sometimes, the clearest wisdom doesn't come from another parenting book or productivity hack. Sometimes it comes from children. I sat down with my two sons for a conversation about Christmas. I expected sweetness and laughter (and we definitely had that). But what I didn't expect was how profoundly wise their reflections would be—for moms and dads who want to keep Christ and joy at the center, even when emotions run high. May this conversation be a gentle reminder for all of us about what truly matters this season. The Most Important Thing During the Holiday Season When I asked my boys what makes Christmas special, their answers were simple: Being with family Giving and receiving gifts And most importantly—Jesus Isn't it interesting how easy it is for adults to know that truth, but still lose sight of it when stress enters the room? Kids seem to understand something we forget:Christmas isn't about perfection.It's about presence. Not perfect decorations.Not perfect meals.Not perfect behavior. But hearts that are oriented toward love. How Christmas Gets Derailed (And What Actually Matters) One of the most insightful moments came when we talked about what can ruin Christmas. Their answer? A negative, ungrateful attitude. And then they surprised me again by pointing out something many parents don't want to hear: "Adults need to remember this too." Children feel the atmosphere of a home.Even when no words are spoken. Tension.Unresolved anger.Stress that leaks out sideways. Kids may not understand the details—but they absolutely feel the weight. And when parents are overwhelmed or snapping at each other, it impacts everything. When You're Tempted to Snap at Your Spouse So, what do you do when you're tempted to snap at your spouse? Here's where the conversation turned especially tender. We talked about parents getting stressed—especially moms who want everything to be "just right" before guests arrive. And my sons said something profound: Take ownership of your emotions Don't take stress out on your spouse Walk away if you need to Calm your body before speaking They emphasized taking ownership of the way you choose to respond. We discussed Matthew 12:36 that says, "I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak," The win isn't never feeling frustrated.The win is choosing restraint, humility, and love in the moment of temptation. The Gift of Calming Yourself Before You Speak How do you calm yourself before you lose your temper? They offered practical ideas—simple, doable, grace-filled: Take a walk Drink cold water Take deep breaths Step outside or into another room Take a long shower with space to think Not to avoid responsibility—but to prevent harm. Because once harsh words are spoken, they linger.And children remember not just what we say—but how it felt to be in our presence. If You've Messed Up Before… There Is Grace What if Christmas in the past was painful?What if words were spoken—or wounds created—that still ache? Their advice? Pray Go to the person you hurt Say "I'm sorry" sincerely Ask if there's anything you can do to repair And then—trust God with what you cannot undo. You are not disqualified from joy because of past mistakes. Keeping Christ at the Center (Without Adding Pressure) When I asked how families can keep Jesus at the center of Christmas, their answers weren't complicated: A nativity scene A meaningful star on the tree Praying before meals Simply thinking about Jesus Not performance. Not religious pressure. Just intentional reminders. Sometimes the most Christ-centered thing you can do is slow down enough to remember why you're celebrating. Final Thoughts: What Happens After Christmas The final question: When January comes, how do you want to remember this Christmas? My boys said: Happy, Safe, Grateful, Hopeful. Not impressed.Not exhausted.Not relieved it's over. But filled. That kind of Christmas doesn't come from doing more. It comes from being more present. If the holidays feel intimidating this year, hear this:You don't have to create a perfect Christmas.You are invited to cultivate a peaceful one. One where Christ is honored. Where your marriage is protected. Where your children feel safe. Where grace is louder than stress. And if you feel overwhelmed already—pause. Jesus came for this kind of moment. May your home be filled with warmth, peace, and joy this season. And may Christ—not pressure—be at the center.
