We (Amy and I) were having a discussion the other day about why we felt men get married and why women get married. I gave my reasons and of course she gave hers, but we wanted to see what you thought and if our reasons were in line with what other men and women thoughts, so of course we decided we had to poll our audience about this.We asked both men and women, what are the top 5 reasons you got married? We share the answers we got from the poll and they were in line with what we thought, but more importantly, what do you think?

In this episode of The Evolved Caveman Podcast, Dr. John sits down with Rich Heller—a marriage whisperer with two decades of experience and the brains behind the *Rich in Relationship* podcast. Think of Rich as a relationship mechanic who helps couples stop setting emotional fires and start building actual connection (without needing a fire extinguisher or a therapist on speed dial).They dig into the juicy stuff: Rich's own WTF moments that shaped his career, how generational trauma likes to crash your relationship uninvited, and why shame is the sneaky gremlin screwing things up behind the scenes without your knowledge or permission. They also take a sledgehammer to outdated ideas of masculinity (spoiler: being emotionally clueless isn't sexy), and explore how to create relationships that don't suck—with actual tools, not just good vibes.This one's for anyone who wants less drama and more connection—minus the woo-woo fluff.01:32 Rich Heller's Journey to Marriage Coaching04:16 Personal Reflections on Divorce05:08 Managing Anger and Emotional Triggers11:33 Conflict Resolution in Relationships17:22 Understanding and Releasing Trauma30:05 The Metaphor of Cleaning the House30:49 Exploring Masculinity Myths31:43 The High Plains Drifter and Masculine Myths32:48 Replacing Outdated Masculine Myths35:39 The Importance of Connection and Vulnerability36:16 From Fixer to Feeler: Helping Men Connect39:48 Understanding Men's Root Fears in Relationships42:41 The Role of Shame in Men's Lives47:55 The Difference Between Shame and Guilt53:08 Relational Wealth and Personal FulfillmentAbout Dr. John's Cool Guest;Rich Heller, MSW, PCC, ELI-MP, Rich is the podcast host of Rich in Relationship, and Marriage Transformation Coach.

The perfect night... almost. I read a reddit post where a user outlines a scenario where his best laid plans didn't pan out as he hoped, but he almost got everything right. That is, until his wife felt disappointed and unhappy by a single error that changed everything.

Mothers Against GenocideThis column makes no apologies for writing so much about the genocide in Palestine and the urgent need for ceasefires and a peace process.  At least 14,000 babies face imminent death from starvation. Over 60,000 Palestinian children, women, men have been killed, including more than 4,000 since Israel ended its ceasefire in March. One especially harrowing example of Israel's murder machine at work was the deliberate targeting last Friday of the family home of Hamdi and Walaa al-Najjar, two doctors who work at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis. As Hamdi was at work nine of her ten children were killed. Her husband and a 10th child was left critically ill.Mothers Against Genocide have stood up against this savagery and for the rights of the Palestinian people. Sue Pentel and Martine McCullough are active in this campaign. Sue has been a political activist all her life. My earliest memory of her is as a member of Women against Imperialism over 40 years ago. Sue is a Gaeilgeoir who has worked for decades promoting the education of our young people through the medium of Irish. She is also a committed advocate for the rights of the people of Palestine and last weekend she and her friend Martine were arrested by the PSNI and charged with ‘criminal damage' to an ATM at Barclays Bank in Castle Place in Belfast City Centre. The so-called criminal damage was the placing of a sticker on the machine as a reminder of Barclays role in selling Israeli war bonds.‘If I Must Die'There will be a public event this Saturday – 31 May - about the ongoing genocide. The venue is St Comgalls/Ionad Eileen Howell and it starts at 7.30pm. Chairing the meeting, which is sponsored by the Bobby Sands Trust, will be Dr Brendan Ciaran Browne, Associate Professor of Conflict Resolution. The main speaker will be Yousef M. Aljamal On the International Wall in Belfast there is a poem by Refaat Alareer, ‘If I Must Die' which he wrote for his daughter, Shaymaa, who would grow up to be an accomplished illustrator. It is very poignant because the Israelis went on to kill Refaat, along with his sister, brother and four of nephews and nieces, eighteen months ago. Give the vote to 16-year-old citizens. The debate on reducing the voting age to 16 is gathering momentum. Twice in the last decade the Assembly – minus the DUP - has endorsed the call for the vote to be reduced in the North from 18 to 16. Several years ago Sinn Féin introduced a Bill in the Oireachtas to allow for this in southern elections and last week An Taoiseach Micheál Martin said that he had an “open mind” on such a proposition and would give it “serious consideration.”The Commission on the Future of Ireland are hosting 'Health & Care in a New Ireland' on the 6th of June, 1pm at St Comgalls, Belfast.Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/health-care-in-a-new-ireland-tickets-1354804690299 

We had a wife reach out to us and ask how she could make her husband feel like he is #1 in their marriage. We thought it was great that she was asking that question, and that she truly desired to make him feel that way!Life can get so busy and for many of us, we tend to assume that our spouse knows that we love them, so we can focus on other things. In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we share the ways "most" husbands feel like they are #1 to their wife and the things a wife can do to make her husband truly feel #1.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

Bond dives deep into a critical, yet often unspoken, challenge: the vital role of HR in effectively escalating difficult issues to leadership to safeguard organizational culture. Tammy acknowledges the very real fear of speaking upward that many HR professionals face, highlighting the common loyalty dilemma that can pit the health of the workplace culture against the perceived need to protect leadership reputation. Bond argues passionately that HR's silence on crucial matters actively erodes trust and allows toxic behaviors to fester, impacting employee engagement and overall workplace dynamics. This episode equips HR professionals with the courage and practical strategies to confront leadership when necessary, emphasizing that HR courage protects culture.

Evidence-Based Escalation: Learn the importance of strong documentation and concrete evidence when escalating concerns to leadership. This strengthens your position and drives action. Solution-Oriented Approach: Shift from merely identifying problems to proactively offering well-thought-out solutions to address systemic issues and improve workplace dynamics.

Many conversations over time, with no thought of them ever being “completed” contribute to connection.  The repeated touch points keep us linked.  When we are connected, we create and cultivate a foundation. We create a common ground of shared experience. None of this is to say that we will experience a mind meld. We may hold different views that are difficult to reconcile. Disagreements are a part of life.  But when I know more about you, even little things, I know you better. I know where your sore spots are. I will be better equipped to keep the friction down if I know you. I can learn to say things in a way less likely to set you off. And, of course, all of this applies in the reverse. If you know me better through those continuing exchanges, even if brief, you will be able to avoid unnecessary friction.Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Divorce is tough. But when your child is dealing with mental health challenges, it adds a layer of urgency most families aren't prepared for. In this episode, Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediator Matthew Brickman tackle the sensitive intersection of child custody, mental health, and mediation.

In this episode, I dive into the exhausting reality of co-parenting with a covert narcissist, sharing real examples from my own experience that will sound painfully familiar to anyone in this situation. I break down four key traits that make co-parenting feel impossible: blame shifting, ruining special occasions, chronic unreliability, and weaponizing children's emotions. Through personal stories—from dangerous unsupervised water activities to last-minute schedule changes—I explore how these patterns affect our kids and why speaking up often makes us look like the problem. If you're questioning your sanity while trying to protect your children from a co-parent who appears decent on the surface but leaves chaos in their wake, this episode is for you. https://www.instagram.com/nicole_bachle/

Art and Hanna Bankier explore the complex terrain of life transitions, particularly the shift from hands-on parenting to becoming a "Mama Mentor" as children leave home. Hanna shares her journey from Swedish immigrant to transition coach, revealing how every identity shift creates opportunities for authentic reinvention. "We have this idea that the time we have left is unknown, combined with life is fragile, equals do it now," she reflects, challenging listeners to embrace change rather than resist it.Through personal stories and practical exercises, Hanna offers listeners a roadmap for navigating transitions with intention. "Are you performing, producing, or providing?" she asks, confronting our culture's obsession with productivity as the measure of worth. The conversation weaves between vulnerability and practical advice, including a powerful identity-mapping exercise with colored markers that reveals where your energy flows. Can we slow down enough to recognize our inherent value beyond what we do?Hanna Bankier is the founder of Birdie Launcher, where she helps moms spread their wings as their little ones leave the nest. A sought-after coach, change catalyst, and speaker, Hanna left her 20+ year television career as a VP of Production to follow her passion: connecting people to possibilities. Drawing from her own experience launching her oldest child (now a college junior) while preparing for her high school senior's departure, Hanna became the "go-to Birdie Launcher friend" among her peers. With advanced degrees in Electronic Communication Arts and Industrial Organizational Psychology, plus certifications in Mediation, Conflict Resolution, and coaching (ACC from ICF), she brings professional expertise to personal transitions. Her provocative question to mothers—"What if the best years of your life are yet to come?"—guides her work helping women rediscover themselves beyond active parenting. When not coaching, Hanna serves on the board of BAYCAT.org, hikes, dances, travels, and hosts gatherings for her intentionally-created community.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week. Art has been through hundreds of transitions in his life. Many have been difficult, but all have led to a depth and richness he could never have imagined. On the podcast Art explores how to create more love and joy in life, no matter what transitions we go through. Art is married to his lifelong partner, a proud father of three and a long-time adventurer and global business executive. He is the founder and leader of the Midlife Transition Mastery Community.

In this episode of the NEGOTIATEx podcast, Fred E. Jandt reflects on his work with the California Department of Transportation. It's where he led a transformative initiative to promote negotiation mastery and conflict resolution amid rising demands for accountability. By training managers in structured conflict analysis, he shifted leadership from reactive habits to strategic engagement.  Fred emphasizes emotional regulation—especially anger—as essential to negotiation mastery and explores how virtual platforms and AI have redefined mediation. Addressing power imbalances and ethical challenges, he highlights preparation and empathy as core to effective leadership.  He concludes with actionable strategies for influencing upward, aligning proposals with authority figures' priorities through clarity, persuasion, and emotional intelligence.  

What does it really take for your teenager to trust you with everything? Are you creating a home where your wife feels truly safe to open up? Could a father-son conversation reveal the surprising answers? Today I'm bringing you something truly special: a replay of one of the most meaningful live Q&A sessions I've ever recorded. This one goes way back to 2023, and I had my oldest son, Ethan, who was just 17 at the time (he's 19 now) join me, along with 35 awesome guys from The Dad Edge Alliance. What made this conversation so powerful is that it was completely unscripted. Real questions, raw answers, and packed with the kind of gold you can only get from honest, open dialogue. Even though it was a live stream with our members, the themes we dove into are just as crucial today. In this episode, you'll hear us tackle some major challenges that I know resonate with so many of you: Connecting with Your Wife When She's Emotionally Distant: Real strategies for bridging that gap. Creating Psychological Safety in Conversations: How to foster an environment where true communication can thrive. Navigating Discipline Without Losing Connection with Your Kids: Ethan even chimes in with his perspective on this one! The Power of the Experience Cube: We explore this incredible conflict resolution tool (originally taught by ClearLeadership.com) that's a game-changer for tough conversations with your wife, kids, and even at work. But what truly blew me away during this Q&A was hearing, in his own words, what builds trust between Ethan and me. And spoiler alert: it's not about being the perfect dad. It's about something much more real: showing up, owning your mistakes, and spending genuine time together. I'm not going to lie, you might even hear a little emotion in my voice when Ethan starts talking about this–it really hit home the importance of creating that safe space where our kids feel they can tell us anything. So, whether you're a dad wanting to lead your family better, a husband striving for deeper connection, or just a man wanting to improve your relationships, this episode is packed with hard-earned wisdom. Sit back, relax, and get ready for some real talk that still rings true today. This special "WINSday" edition is all about celebrating our members' successes and sharing the valuable lessons they've learned on their journey to becoming better dads. Sit back, tune in, and get ready to be motivated by the remarkable guests of the Dad Edge community. www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.1stphorm.com/dadedge

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)The power struggle of "who goes first" in divorce negotiations costs couples thousands in unnecessary legal fees and months of emotional turmoil. Tracy and Debra dive deep into why this hesitation happens and how divorce professionals can effectively guide clients past this common roadblock.At the heart of settlement hesitation lies a fascinating cocktail of psychological factors. Many clients fear anchoring too low, worried that their first offer becomes the ceiling rather than the floor for negotiations. Others simply aren't emotionally ready to take steps that make their divorce feel more real and final. Information gaps create legitimate concerns about making uninformed decisions, while strategic positioning—the belief that making the first move reveals weakness—can transform negotiations into costly standoffs where the refusal to engage becomes more important than resolution itself.What makes this episode particularly valuable is the practical framework Tracy and Debra provide for helping clients reframe their thinking. Rather than viewing the first offer as vulnerability, they demonstrate how it represents an opportunity to control the narrative and set the agenda. Through visualization exercises, core value identification, and distinguishing between sufficient versus perfect information, coaches can transform client paralysis into empowered decision-making.Whether you're working with clients who fear appearing desperate, those waiting for external validation, or individuals paralyzed by potential regret, this episode offers tailored strategies to break the settlement standoff and move the divorce process forward.What approaches have you found effective in helping clients overcome their hesitation to make settlement offers?

How to have the conversations that are most difficult — and most important.Before you can have hard conversations with others, you need to have an honest conversation with yourself. That's the counterintuitive advice from Sheila Heen, who says our own internal narratives often derail our attempts at negotiation and conflict resolution."The first negotiation is actually a negotiation I have with myself about my own story," explains Heen, a Harvard Law School lecturer and co-author of Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most. When entering challenging interactions, she recommends a powerful shift where we consider that our perspective is only one side of the story. "If I can shift my purpose from convincing you of something to just understanding how you see it and why we might see it differently, that actually is more likely to generate a good conversation with less defensiveness for both of us."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Heen joins Matt Abrahams to explore effective communication in high-stakes situations. From giving and receiving feedback with her “ACE” framework (Appreciation, Coaching, and Evaluation) to recognizing the "degrees of difficulty" in disagreements, she offers practical strategies for having productive conversations even when emotions run high.Episode Reference Links:Sheila Heen Sheila's Books: Difficult Conversations / Thanks for the Feedback  Ep.144 Communicating Through Conflict: How to Get Along with AnyoneEp.136 The Art of Disagreeing Without Conflict: Navigating the Nuance  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:36) - Managing Anxiety in Tough Conversations (04:15) - Why Emotions Matter (07:23) - Shifting the Story We Tell Ourselves (08:41) - Starting with the Real Issue (10:20) - Getting Unstuck in Conflict (13:18) - ACE: The Three Types of Feedback (16:20) - Making Feedback Actionable (18:40) - Finding Common Ground (20:17) - The Final Three Questions (27:32) - Conclusion    *****This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

You open up about something emotional… and your spouse completely misses it.They try to fix it, change the subject, or talk about someone else instead.And just like that—you shut down.This is how emotional intimacy quietly unravels in marriage.

A silence that grows.In this week's episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I'm sharing a very real moment from my own marriage—something that happened just days ago—that brought this all into sharp focus.We talk about:

In this insightful episode of the Leadership Sandbox, Tammy J. Bond explores the evolving generational landscape in today's workplaces. She delves into the communication challenges between Boomers, Gen Xers, Millennials, and Gen Z, and emphasizes the importance of understanding diverse communication styles. Tammy underscores the need for leaders to foster inclusive environments where all voices are valued, highlighting strategies to bridge generational divides, enhance collaboration, and address the silence that can impede innovation. Whether you're a leader or team member, learn how effective listening, feedback, and cultural modeling can transform team dynamics. KEY TAKEAWAYS Millennials and Gen Z are not fragile—they're frustrated by communication gaps.  A generational translation gap makes understanding each other's perspectives essential.  Leaders need to listen differently to retain and engage talent.  Silencing younger team members leads to disengagement and missed opportunities.  Respectful communication involves challenging assumptions with care.  Most conflicts stem from miscommunication rather than personality clashes.  Building a translation bridge enhances team cohesion and productivity.  Feedback should be a two-way process—encouraging open dialogue.  Timing and tone are critical components of effective communication.  Organizational culture is shaped by leadership's actions and modeling, not just words. Tune in for actionable insights to elevate your leadership and improve team dynamics across generations!

Many men feel the need to always be right in relationships, which can often lead to communication breakdowns and conflict. Once in a relationship, it's no longer about “you vs. me,” but rather about “us,” requiring mutual respect and honoring each other's feelings. Matthew Hoffman emphasizes avoiding known “landmines” in relationships—like repeatedly doing things that upset your partner—and deciding if a conflict is worth escalating. Jeremy Roadruck encourages men to stop settling for “good enough” relationships and to view communication as a toolset, like fitness routines or income streams, with multiple ways to approach and resolve issues. Asking for clarification and creating a “feedback loop” are vital tools for building strong, healthy relationships. Tina Huggins notes that women, particularly those with past marriages, may also feel the need to be right to prevent repeating past mistakes, adding another layer of complexity to modern relationships.   Watch the video here to learn more from Matthew P.

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)The divorce coaching industry harbors a dangerous trend that's causing unnecessary harm to families across the country. In this eye-opening episode, Debra and Tracy tackle the phenomenon of "high-conflict divorce coaching" – an approach that frames every challenging divorce as a battle requiring warfare tactics rather than resolution strategies.We pull back the curtain on what legitimate professional divorce coaching actually is and contrast it with the predatory marketing of high-conflict approaches that capitalize on fear. These programs effectively encourage clients to spend more money on their divorce, complicate the process, extend timelines, and create lasting damage – all while promising to help them "win" against their ex.Through real-life examples, we reveal the staggering financial and emotional costs of choosing the high-conflict route. One client spent $80,000 on legal fees and was two years into her divorce without even reaching a temporary agreement – not because of complex assets or genuine safety concerns, but because both parties had adopted a battle mindset. We discuss how this approach operates on flawed assumptions: that you can change your spouse's behavior, that every difficult divorce involves a personality-disordered individual, and that being in constant "defense mode" is necessary.As an alternative, we outline what to look for in a divorce coach or training program: someone focused on resolution rather than winning, who emphasizes communication strategies, emotional regulation, and clear decision-making. The truth is that the outcomes are typically the same whether you take the high-conflict route or a more measured approach – the only difference is you haven't spent years in litigation or hundreds of thousands of dollars unnecessarily.Whether you're navigating divorce yourself, supporting someone who is, or considering becoming a divorce coach, this conversation provides crucial guidance for making choices that truly serve your long-term goals and your well being.
