Limits That Feel Like Love — Discipline Without the DramaDiscipline doesn't have to be about power struggles, lectures, or bribes. In fact, when it's done right, it actually feels like love.In this episode, I'm breaking down why setting firm limits is one of the most loving things we can do for our kids—and how to do it without all the drama. We'll talk about:Why “no” can be a gift (yep, even when your kid is melting down)The difference between control and connectionHow to hold firm without getting pulled into the chaosPractical tools (like Stop, Drop, and Roll) you can use the next time things go sidewaysThink of this as a reframe on discipline: not punishment, not permissiveness, but loving guidance that helps our kids feel safe, seen, and supported.So if you're tired of yelling, threats, or the endless negotiating, this one's for you.Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

In this episode, Guy welcomed back Reverend Bill McDonald. He shared his profound insights on the power of love, spiritual healing, and maintaining a high frequency to influence positive change in the world. He discussed the importance of focusing on love and light, even amidst global turmoil, and the transformative potential of self-love and meditation. Reverend Bill reflected on his personal experiences with healing, recounted stories from his spiritual journey, and emphasized the significance of living authentically and spreading positivity. This enlightening conversation aims to inspire listeners to embrace their inner potential and contribute to global well-being. About Rev. Bill: Rev. Bill's life has been a spiritual journey, spanning slightly over 7 decades. His whole life has been a mystical trip in search of gurus, the paranormal, and self-discovery. He has written about his many spiritually transforming experiences and “near-death experiences” including supernatural events during his combat tour-of-duty in the Vietnam War.  In his books he has shared some incredible spiritual events that are beyond both common understanding or explanation. His autobiography “Warrior A Spiritual Odyssey” takes us on a life quest for love, understanding, forgiveness and enlightenment. His follow-up book (Publishing date 2017) “Alchemy of a Warrior's Heart “continues that mystical journey including four trips to India for even more profound experiences with holy men, miracles and his personal relationship with the Divine. His books are also available in German and Spanish. What he knows for sure, after all these years, is that the only thing that is truly real is LOVE.  He speaks publicly about the need to forgive and power and energy of love. His mission in life is to inspire others to seek the Divine and he does that though his personal stories of his own life experiences.  He is a seeker but not just for himself. His “mission” is to allow others to experience his journey through his stories. He has had 3 near-death and near-death-like- experiences and many countless encounters with the supernatural. His beliefs are simple: There is but ONE GOD – and our only mission is to LOVE & SERVE ALL. Key Points Discussed:  (00:00) - Rev.

Today we're heading into the deep end of a conversation most men never get to have—but desperately need.Why does sex with your wife sometimes feel like a porn relapse instead of the healing, intimate connection you long for?If you've ever felt:Triggered by sex with your spouseOverwhelmed by cravings for porn after marital intimacyDisconnected and guilty about sex even though you're marriedSpiritually ashamed and wondering if something is broken inside you……I want you to know you're not failing because you're weak or defective. You're fighting brain pathways that have been wired over years of porn use.In Part 2 of this series, we're going deep into the neuroscience of porn addiction and the psychology of sexual intimacy.Here's what we're uncovering in this episode:How porn rewires your brain's sexual template.Why your brain starts associating sex with performance instead of connectionHow porn teaches your mind to seek pleasure without personhood—and why that leaves you detached and unfulfilledWhy real-life sex often feels “flat” compared to porn's hyper-stimulationThe secret power of dopamine and novelty.Why porn creates a relentless craving for newness and shock valueWhy normal marital sex can feel boring or underwhelming after years of high-intensity pornEmotional imprinting and the shame loop.How early sexual secrecy and shame get trapped in your nervous systemWhy even healthy marital sex can trigger memories of guilt, fear, or forbiddennessHow this leads to post-sex brain fog, shame, and the urge to “finish the job” with pornThe spiritual battle for Christian men.Why you might feel spiritually broken if sex in marriage triggers shameHow porn addiction fuels the false belief that God is condemning youWhy God is not the voice berating you—and how faith can become part of your healing processI remember how confusing this was for me in my own marriage.When I first got married, I thought sex would be the ultimate cure for my porn addiction. Instead, I found myself craving porn after sex, feeling guilty and disconnected, and wondering if I was beyond help.But here's what I discovered—you're not spiritually broken. Your brain and body just need healing.If you've ever wondered why sex isn't “fixing” your cravings—or felt ashamed that it triggers them instead—this episode is for you.READ THE BLOG ARTICLE FOR THIS 3-PART SERIESRecommended Episodes: When Wives Become Sex Objects - Hope & HealingMy Wife Won't Have Sex With Me - What Do I Do?Sexual Desire Isn't SinRoyalty Free Music: Bensound.comLicense code: ZQ215TMIZ5TMTKZZArtist: : Lunar YearsSupport the showNo More Desire
