 Complaining is Like Junk Food: Just as fast food offers fleeting satisfaction but lacks nourishment, complaining provides only temporary emotional relief. This episode invites listeners to reconsider the impact of their words and thoughts on their well-being. Drawing an insightful analogy between complaining and consuming fast food, Margaret highlights how we often seek quick emotional relief through negative expressions that ultimately leave us feeling unsatisfied and burdened. This discussion reminds us that while life's challenges are inevitable, our responses can lead us toward either suffering or personal growth. As the episode unfolds, Margaret introduces her new mantra: "Change is difficult. Complaining is easy." This mantra serves as a powerful reminder that while it's natural to express our grievances, we also have the opportunity to engage in deeper, transformative practices that promote healing and growth. Listeners are invited to reflect on their own experiences with change, to acknowledge their feelings of disappointment, and to consider how they can shift from empty complaints to meaningful introspection.

In this episode, we explore how emotional avoidance and self-abandonment often disguise themselves as being “helpful,” “productive,” or “strong.” Whether it's saying yes too quickly, fixing others' emotions, or numbing out with distractions, these patterns are not bad habits - they're survival strategies we picked up when it wasn't safe to feel or express ourselves. We look at where these behaviors come from, why they served a purpose, and what they're costing us now. We discuss gentle, practical ways to begin recognizing and shifting these patterns. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of why it's hard to stay with yourself emotionally and how beginning to do so—even for a few seconds at a time—is a powerful act of healing.     We don't always notice when we're abandoning ourselves – it can look like overdoing, over giving, or overcommitting.   Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

In this enlightening discussion, I sat down with Melo Calarco, a seasoned mindfulness coach and author renowned for his work on overcoming burnout and achieving balance. In this episode, we explore the multifaceted nature of burnout, delving into Melo's personal journey of cycling 30,000 kilometres around the world and how this challenging experience shaped his understanding of resilience and self-belief. Alongside his exploration of the critical role mindfulness and gratitude play in combating burnout, this conversation offers invaluable insights into identifying the signs of stress and how to shift your mindset towards a healthier, more balanced lifestyle. What You'll Learn: Understanding Burnout: Melo provides a comprehensive explanation of burnout, beyond the work environment, emphasising that it's largely about chronic stress. Key Signs and Symptoms: Early indicators of burnout such as physical tension, emotional withdrawal, and behavioural changes. The Role of Mindfulness: How integrating mindfulness into daily practice can serve as a powerful tool to manage stress and enhance mental clarity. Stress Responses: The distinction between challenge and threat perceptions of stress and their impact on motivation and behaviour. Practical Mindfulness Techniques: Simple yet effective strategies for implementing mindfulness and meditation into a busy schedule. Gratitude and Positivity: Exploring how gratitude can rewire the brain for positivity, counteracting stress and promoting better mental health. Key Takeaways: Burnout extends beyond the workplace; it is the result of chronic, unmanaged stress which can accumulate from various life sources. Self-awareness is crucial in identifying stress signs early. Listening to your body's cues and recognising emotional shifts can prevent deeper burnout. Mindfulness and meditation are not just practices for moments of stillness. They can be woven into daily routines to enhance focus and reduce anxiety. Adopting a challenge-oriented mindset, supported by self-belief and past experiences, provides a protective buffer against burnout. Simple practices like daily gratitude can have profound impacts on mental health, promoting a positive outlook and resilience.

Send us a textIn this episode, we get real about the counterfeit comforts we each reach for when life feels too heavy—whether that's emotional eating, perfectionism, scrolling, or even throwing ourselves into ministry. We open up about how our personal stories shaped these patterns. Heidi shares how growing up with alcoholic parents taught her to cope through control and performance, while Christina talks about how her mom's trauma from WWII in Germany created a legacy of anxiety and over-functioning in her own life. These habits may look harmless, but they often mask a deeper ache we're trying to numb.We also talk about how family history and cultural messages feed these false comforts and how even “good” things—like spiritual routines—can become a way to avoid real connection with God. But there's hope. Scripture invites us to bring our struggles into the light and let God meet us in the very places we tend to hide. Instead of running from discomfort, we're learning to pause and invite God in—right in the middle of our mess.

Romantic relationships are sacred, powerful, and life-giving. But I don't have to tell you how difficult it is to love and let yourself be loved.Marriage and family therapist Dr. Terry Hargrave has been helping couples in crisis restore broken relationships for decades, teaching them how to get unstuck, improve communication, and move beyond destructive coping mechanisms—to find reciprocity, self-affirming confidence, emotional regulation, and a joyful, lasting love.In a world marked by loneliness, disconnection, and emotional dysregulation, Hargrave offers powerful insights on the human need for identity, safety, and belonging—and how we can heal the wounds that keep us stuck. Drawing on decades of therapeutic experience and deep personal reflection, Hargrave explains how coping mechanisms like blame, shame, control, and escape can damage relationships—and how the peace cycle of nurture, self-valuing, balanced give-and-take, and connection can restore wholeness. He discusses his unique approach to the healing and restorative power of relationships, which lifts us up to our potential, encouraging us toward a nurturing, self-valuing, non-controlling reciprocity, and true connection.In this conversation with Terry Hargrave, we discuss:How to turn around a relationship in crisis and get off the emotional rollercoasterHow to build security and trust in order to improve or repair a marriage or long-term relationshipCoping mechanisms of blame, shame, control, and escapePractical steps to learn emotional self-regulationWhat to do when only one partner is working on a relationshipThe role of the brain and neuroplasticity in relational repairAnd the spiritual underpinnings of Terry's approach to restoration therapyEpisode Highlights"It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing—until you claim your belovedness for yourself, nothing will change.""Relationships are a mirror—we discover who we are through how others see us.""Blame, shame, control, and escape—nothing good comes from these coping mechanisms.""Understanding doesn't produce change. Doing produces change.""When we nurture, self-value, connect, and cooperate, unleashed joy happens.""Thriving is doing more of your best self, not learning something new."Helpful Links and ResourcesRestoration Therapy Training ResourcesThe Mindful Marriage by Ron Deal and Nan Deal (with Terry and Sharon Hargrave)Five Days to a New Self by Terry HargraveEmotionally Focused Therapy and Sue Johnson's LegacyShow NotesIntroduction to Terry Hargrave and the importance of Restoration Therapy today"We are still the same humans, but with a bigger pipe of problems and fewer emotional connections."Emotional dysregulation linked to identity and safety threatsRelationships as a mirror to the self and necessary for human thriving"For there to be a me, there has to be a thou."Why relationships are difficult: imperfection, wounding, and unmet needsHow family of origin wounds influence coping styles"Families don't mean to screw each other up, but somehow they manage to."Introduction of the four major unhealthy coping mechanisms: blame, shame, control, and escapeHow overachievement, perfectionism, and withdrawal are survival strategies from early wounding"Your greatest strength might actually be an old coping habit getting in the way of intimacy."The relational signs that coping mechanisms are damaging relationshipsHealing through self-regulation: speaking truth to yourself with love"Put your hand on your heart and remind yourself of who you really are."The difference between co-regulation and self-regulation in emotional healingRestoration Therapy's peace cycle: nurture, self-value, balance, connection"Nothing good comes from blame, shame, control, or escape."The role of practice and neuroplasticity in forming new relational habits"Doing, not just understanding, is what rewires the brain."How thriving relationships move from neediness to adventurous partnershipIntimacy as knowing yourself more fully through connection, not just need satisfactionCooperative growth and mutual flourishing as hallmarks of thrivingApplication of restoration principles to broader societal healing and reconciliation"Unleashed joy happens when we choose nurture and connection, even with adversaries."The critical role of faith in affirming belovedness and ultimate identity"Everyone else and even God can tell you you're beloved—but you have to claim it for yourself."Practical advice for knowing when to seek therapyWhere to find Restoration Therapy-trained therapistsResources for learning more: Mindful Marriage and other Restoration Therapy booksThe key takeaways that I will carry with me from this conversation are the following:You can change. Your relationship can change. But it takes a daily practice of hard work to create lasting change.And though you might fail, there is hope that you can begin again.Our coping mechanisms are not superpowers. They hurt us and the people we love.Understanding is not enough. Action and behavior has to follow for change to occur.[Any others?] It takes two to tango, but that doesn't get you off the hook from doing the work on yourself.And finally, a thriving relationship creates joy all around it, within a family, in a community, and it shows how personal relationships can change society.About Terry HargraveDr. Terry Hargrave.

Katy is a St. Louis native and a former Kindergarten teacher. Her love of fitness and nutrition runs deep – she has been in the fitness industry as an athlete for 10+ years and has owned a women's only fitness business since 2018.

De-escalating High-Conflict Divorce: A Rabbi's Perspective on Finding PeaceRabbi Avi Kahan joins Seth Nelson and Pete Wright to explore how de-escalation techniques and cultural sensitivity can help families reach sustainable resolutions during divorce. As a mediator handling complex religious and cultural divorce cases, Rabbi Kahan brings unique insights into managing high-conflict situations and helping couples transition from being spouses to successful co-parents.The conversation delves deep into how fear and conflict often mask deeper emotional struggles during divorce. Seth and Pete explore with Rabbi Kahan how the legal system's focus on "fairness" can sometimes escalate tensions, while religious and cultural perspectives might offer alternative paths to resolution.

Have you ever experienced grief or an unbearable season of loss? Whether it's the loss of someone you love, a relationship, or an unfulfilled dream, God wants to bring you peace and comfort and walk through this season with you. In this episode, Julie Davies, Licensed Counselor, and your co-host, Christie Myers, talk about finding God's comfort amidst grief and loss. They share personal stories of grief, the stages of grief, and the importance of community and connection in healing. This episode highlights how important faith is in coping with loss, finding joy in difficult seasons, and the promises of God that provide hope during difficult times. Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."   Takeaways Finding comfort in God is essential during grief. It's okay to feel sad about loss and brokenness. Jesus wept, showing us it's normal to grieve. God wants to bring us peace and comfort. Grief can manifest in various stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. It's important to let yourself experience grief fully. Depression can be a normal response to grief, but it should be monitored. Community support is crucial during times of loss. Joy can coexist with suffering and can be found in small moments. God's promises provide hope and strength in difficult times.   Chapters 00:00 Finding Comfort in Grief and Loss 02:51 Personal Stories of Grief and Healing 06:10 Understanding the Stages of Grief 08:49 Coping Mechanisms for Grief 12:08 The Role of Community in Healing 14:58 Joy Amidst Suffering 17:47 God's Promises in Times of Grief 20:47 The Gospel and Finding Hope   Visit our website.
