Disclaimer: We are not professionals. This podcast is opinioned based and from life experience. This is for entertainment purposes only. Opinions helped by our guests may not reflect our own. But we love a good conversation.In this episode of The 2 Be Better Podcast, we read raw, unfiltered emails from listeners who are trying to live out traditional marriage roles in a very modern world. We talk about a stay-at-home wife who goes back to work full time and finds a new sense of purpose, what happens to the marriage dynamic when she leaves the house, and why her husband's pride “hits different” now that she's in the workforce. We break down communication, teamwork, masculine leadership, feminine submission, mental health, isolation, depression, and what it really takes to rebuild identity when the kids are grown and the house finally goes quiet. If you're into traditional values, biblical style marriage, or just want honest relationship advice from a husband and wife who actually live this, this is your episode.We also dive deep into a girlfriend who wants a traditional relationship while her boyfriend still lives with his parents, how to submit safely only to a man who can truly lead, and what that looks like when you're still living separately. From arguments over conflict styles (talk it out now vs. taking space), to how to avoid weaponizing divorce, to rebuilding emotional and physical intimacy when you're exhausted, we walk through real examples from our own marriage: conflict repair, apologies, boundaries, leadership, and date-night habits that keep you out of the roommate phase. Expect hard truths, practical tools, and real-world traditional marriage advice on submission, leadership, respect, and intimacy that you can start applying in your relationship today.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

According to Ramit Sethi, a personal finance author and coach, a lot of couples get stuck bickering about everyday purchases. If you're hung up on what's in the cart at Target, or who's buying too many iced teas on the way to work, Sethi says you're missing the bigger picture, and a chance to live what he calls a truly “rich life” together. Sethi is the author of “I Will Teach You To Be Rich” and “Money for Couples.” He has a podcast, also called “Money for Couples,” and was host of the Netflix show “How to Get Rich.” On this episode of Modern Love, Sethi fields questions from listeners who want to have more constructive, and less tense, money conversations. He also explains how a little curiosity and compassion can help couples through emotional processes like merging their financial lives, disclosing their debts, and mapping out their dreams for a shared future. Read four takeaways from the episode here.

In this episode, Dr. Ali Novitsky, triple-boarded physician, Master Coach, and founder of The FIT Collective, continues her deep exploration of stress — this time focusing on how different stress types influence relationships, team dynamics, and emotional regulation.Dr. Ali revisits the origins of her company, MindBodyMarriage, as she lays the groundwork for a series on how stress types interact in pairs, families, and professional teams.Key Points Discussed:1. Why Stress Types Matter in RelationshipsDr. Ali explains that interactions between stress types can be complex and deeply influential. By understanding:What each type does when stressed, andWhat each type contributes when regulated,We can accurately predict team behavior, decrease conflict, and strengthen relationships. This awareness becomes essential when multiple people—and multiple stress types—interact at once2. A Review of The Six Stress Types:Assertive – Stressed: takes over; Regulated: decisive leader.Isolation – Stressed: avoids vulnerability; Regulated: productive, independent.Control – Stressed: rigid, inflexible; Regulated: organized, structured.Validation – Stressed: seeks reassurance; Regulated: creates harmony.Impulsivity – Stressed: reacts quickly; Regulated: creative, executes well.Catastrophizing – Stressed: fears worst-case; Regulated: strong problem-solver.3. Real-Life Application: Team DynamicsDr. Ali illustrates a medical code scenario with two possible outcomes:Dysregulated TeamAssertive type takes over abruptlyIsolation type withdrawsControl type panics over broken expectationsValidation type doubts themselvesImpulsive type fires off ideas without follow-throughCatastrophizing type spirals into worst-case thinkingThe team technically achieves the outcome—but experiences burnout, fear, and dysfunction.Regulated TeamAssertive type leads with clarityIsolation type stays focused and productiveControl type keeps structureValidation type creates calmImpulsive type supports with creativityCatastrophizing type anticipates needs and supports problem solvingSame patient outcome—entirely different team experience.Dr. Ali emphasizes that true success includes psychological safety, teamwork, and emotional regulation.3. The “Leaky Valve” AnalogyDr. Ali introduces the concept of a leaky emotional valve:When we are chronically dysregulated, stress “leaks” into every system in our lives—relationships, work, communication, and health. Regulation closes the valve, making all downstream healing easier.TakeawaysUnderstanding your stress type increases self-awareness and compassion.Daily regulation practice—not occasional effort—is necessary for real change.Healthy teams are built on regulation, not perfection.You can always choose to become the “regulated member” of your team.Timestamps00:00 – Introduction & why this series matters00:27 – MindBody Marriage → The FIT Collective00:38 – Stress & relationships: the “relationship matrix”02:03 – Different stress scenarios in relationships and teams02:24 – Overview of the 6 stress types05:06 – Assertive stress type06:11 – Isolation stress type07:09 – Control stress type08:51 – Impulsivity stress type10:06 – Catastrophizing stress type11:22 – Validation stress type12:22 – Dysregulated team code scenario18:29 – Regulated team code scenario26:01 – How do we measure team success?27:29 – Why whole-team training and daily regulation matter28:43 – Transform 10 & the leaky valve29:26 – Private coaching with The FIT CollectiveWork with Dr. Ali

In episode 307, Mark & Steve respond to an all-too-common history and situation submitted by a betrayed partner. Healthy sexual intimacy after betrayal cannot simply return to what it once was; it must be rebuilt on a new foundation of authenticity and safety. Because pornography shapes the brain and rewires arousal patterns, couples often find themselves questioning what's real, what's healthy, and whether desire is rooted in connection or in old fantasy. Many partners struggle to trust, and many addicts struggle to trust themselves, creating a complex emotional landscape that must be navigated with care. This healing begins by evaluating intention and headspace—asking not what partners want to do sexually, but why they want to do it and what meaning it carries.From there, intimacy must be rebuilt through trust and transparency. Couples need to be able to talk openly about sexual preferences, fears, boundaries, and emotional needs before engaging physically. Silence or lack of objection is not consent; safety must be mutual, expressed, and explicit. Boundaries should be set outside of arousal states, and couples may need to slow down significantly—sometimes even stepping back to basics like hand-holding or non-sexual touch—while they rebuild a foundation that can hold the weight of deeper connection.Ultimately, recovering sexual intimacy after sexual toxicity is an evolving journey, not an achievement. It requires vulnerability, patience, and willingness to explore together rather than perform or comply. When couples move intentionally through this process—anchoring their sexuality in meaning, emotional presence, collaboration, and shared values—they often find themselves creating a sexual connection that is deeper and healthier than anything they experienced before recovery.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:   How Do We Discover/Recover Healthy Sexual Intimacy After Sexual Toxicity and Betrayal?Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

In this deeply nurturing episode of The Conscious Conception Show, host Sue Ritchie explores one of the most important — yet often overlooked — steps in the fertility journey: preparing your whole self before trying to conceive, whether naturally or through IVF. So many women are told that fertility simply declines with age and there's little they can do. But the truth is more hopeful. Science now shows that egg and sperm quality, hormone balance and overall reproductive health are profoundly influenced by lifestyle, nutrition, emotional wellbeing and even our mindset. Join Sue as she shares how to create the most fertile foundation for conception by addressing the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of your wellbeing. You'll discover: ? How constant busyness, stress and negative self-talk affect hormones and fertility ? Why gut health and good nutrition help nurture healthy eggs and sperm ? The impact of everyday toxins on reproductive health — and how to reduce them ? The power of self-love, rest and emotional safety to support conception ✨ How spiritual alignment and reconnecting to your true self can help you welcome new life Whether you're in the early stages of trying for a baby or preparing for IVF, this conversation will help you feel calm, empowered and confident about your next steps. Because conception isn't just about making a baby — it's about creating the best environment for your future child to grow healthy and thrive.

Ever had a discussion that felt like quicksand? You're trying to solve one thing, but somehow you end up defending three other things that weren't even part of the original issue. The topic shifts, the tone changes, and before you know it, you're stuck in a loop.   In this episode, Brett breaks down why some people constantly derail conversations—whether by changing the subject, twisting words, or moving the goalposts—and how to stop that cycle before it eats away at your time, energy, and credibility.   This isn't about learning debate tricks or “winning” arguments. It's about keeping conversations grounded in reality, staying emotionally regulated, and getting back to the real point instead of getting baited into someone else's chaos.   ⸻   You'll Learn: •Why arguments loop in the first place — and the psychological drivers behind conversational derailment. •How to identify the real issue beneath the noise so you stop reacting to symptoms and address the actual source. •Three simple tactics to regain control mid-conversation without escalating the conflict or looking defensive. •How to spot conversational manipulation early and shut it down before it snowballs. •When to walk away — and how to end a circular argument cleanly, without guilt or drama.   ⸻   Who This Is For: •Leaders who keep having the same meetings that go nowhere. •Couples or parents tired of every discussion turning into a blame game. •Coaches, managers, and business owners who deal with emotionally charged people and high-stakes conversations.   If you've ever left a talk thinking, “We just went in circles again,” this one's for you.   ⸻   Related Resources: •Want help improving your communication, leadership, and decision-making under pressure?

You think having sex when you don't really want to will keep your partner happy. But obligation sex actually destroys desire—and doesn't help either of you in the long run.Research shows that when you cross your own boundaries repeatedly this way, your desire drops even further. Resentment builds. And your partner can wind up feeling even more unwanted.I break down what actually happens with obligation sex, why it doesn't help either partner, and how to choose a different option that honors each person's truth while actually building (rather than eroding) connection.Get my free guide: 5 Steps to Start Solving Desire Differences (Without Blame or Shame), A Practical Starting Point for Individuals and Couples, at https://laurajurgens.com/libido Find out more about me at https://laurajurgens.com/

Today, in our 199th episode, I dive into some timely updates on Social Security and answered a batch of long-overdue listener questions. We kick things off with the newly announced 2.8% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for Social Security benefits starting January 2026. While that sounds like good news, I cautioned listeners not to celebrate too quickly.  Medicare Part B premiums are expected to rise by 11.6%, or about $21.50 per month, which will eat into that COLA, leaving most recipients with a net increase of only around $34.50. I argue that announcing the Social Security COLA a month before Medicare premiums is misleading and suggested both should be released simultaneously to give retirees a clearer picture of their actual income changes. I also highlight the increase in the Social Security earnings limit, which will rise from $176,100 in 2025 to $184,500 in 2026 (a 4.77% jump).  This means higher earners will contribute more to Social Security before hitting the cap. On a brighter note, the stock market has been performing exceptionally well in 2025, with major indices like the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and international markets all posting double-digit gains. At Retire Strong Financial Advisors, we're seeing more people seeking second opinions on their retirement plans, especially as their 401(k)s and 403(b)s hit all-time highs.  I wrap up the episode by tackling some fantastic listener questions and reminding everyone to check out our free resources and YouTube channel for more retirement planning insights. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... (00:00) Intro. (00:27) Social Security Updates. (11:28) Roth Conversions Explained. (19:53) 401k Management Fees. (21:14) Retirement Planning for Couples. (27:19) Annuity Product Warnings. (31:07) Retirement Withdrawal Strategies. Breaking Down Roth Conversions and 401(k) Management Options  One listener, JB, asked a great question about Roth conversions, so I took the opportunity to break it down from the basics. A Roth conversion involves moving money from a pre-tax account like a traditional IRA or 401(k) into a Roth account, paying taxes on the converted amount now so it can grow tax-free in the future. This strategy can be especially powerful for those whose retirement savings are heavily concentrated in pre-tax accounts. However, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. Roth conversions can trigger higher taxes on Social Security benefits, push you into a higher tax bracket, or increase your Medicare premiums.  There's also the five-year rule to consider, which can limit when you can access the converted funds. That's why I always recommend working with a fiduciary financial planner or tax advisor to determine if it's the right move. Another listener, Kelly, asked about paying Financial Engines to manage her 401(k). I explained that these services are optional and you can opt out and manage your own portfolio if you're comfortable. But if you're receiving personalized advice and planning, the fee might be worth it. Big Savings, Bigger Risks: Why Planning Matters Then we heard from Gary, who's 60 and married to Linda, who's 52. He's saved over $2 million mostly in a pre-tax 401(k) and has a pension that won't begin until age 65. Linda works part-time, and with their eight-year age gap and no clear Social Security strategy, there are several risks they need to address. If something were to happen to Gary, Linda wouldn't be eligible for survivor Social Security benefits until she turns 60, and the tax burden on their pre-tax savings could be significant for the surviving spouse. Other unknowns like their debt, health insurance plans before Medicare, and pension survivorship options will add more complexity.  Life insurance and relocation plans are also critical factors that could impact their long-term financial security. I emphasized the need for a comprehensive retirement plan to help them navigate these issues. On a related note, I addressed a listener's question about annuity sales pitches at steak dinner seminars. While annuities can have a place in a portfolio, they're often sold with high fees, surrender penalties, and limited liquidity. I've seen too many people regret these decisions, so I always urge caution that if someone's buying you dinner, they're probably trying to sell you something. Retirement Education Without the Sales Pitch That's why we do retirement education differently. Our seminars are held at local libraries, no fancy dinners, no alcohol, and absolutely no product pitches. We're there to educate, not sell. This approach ties into Cindy's excellent question about which retirement account to withdraw from first. She has a mix of accounts, 401(k), Roth, and a stock account she hopes to leave to her kids, and she's unsure how to begin her decumulation strategy. This is a crucial decision, and unfortunately, many people get it wrong.  The old "conventional wisdom" of spending taxable accounts first, then pre-tax, then Roth, no longer holds up. Tax laws have changed, required minimum distribution ages have shifted, and future tax rates are uncertain. Your withdrawal strategy should be customized based on your income sources, Social Security timing, investment types, and long-term tax impact. Some accounts may generate income through dividends and interest, while others are better suited for long-term growth. The goal is to create a strategy that supports a successful retirement while minimizing your lifetime tax bill. Cindy's question was so important, I even made a YouTube video on it, "Retirement Withdrawal Strategy", which has become one of our most popular resources.

In this holiday-themed episode of Just the Guys, the conversation centers on thankfulness—not as a sentimental add-on to Thanksgiving, but as a practical tool for navigating the chaos of family gatherings. Drawing from Dr. Jim Wilder's teaching on appreciation as the spark that “turns on our relational circuits,” the guys explore how gratitude transforms not just moods but entire relationships. Greg admits that even when overstimulated, “I still made the turkey; it's my job”—a wry reminder that responsibility and love can coexist with limits and self-awareness. Jeremy reflects on the sobering truth that “what you complain about today might be someone else's answered prayer,” while Kevin shares how recovery and thankfulness helped him replace counterfeit joys with authentic connection. Dan rounds out the discussion with insights on starting the day with intentional gratitude as a way to short-circuit negativity before it starts. From Western novels as an escape hatch to unexpected hugs from kids, from box breathing to pecan pie, the guys trade stories of how thankfulness shows up in real life—sometimes messy, sometimes humorous, but always transformative. With family gatherings looming, they offer encouragement to embrace both the people you love and the people who stretch your patience, not as problems to solve but as relationships to nurture. The takeaway? Joy rarely arrives by accident—it's cultivated, like Greg's turkey, with intentional care.

Blending a family takes grace—and so does blending your finances.When couples merge families, they're also merging priorities, habits, and sometimes, financial baggage. Ron Deal joins us today to show us that with honesty and a shared vision, what begins as a challenge can become a source of strength for blended families navigating both money and marriage.Ron Deal is a bestselling author, licensed marriage & family therapist, podcaster, and popular conference speaker who specializes in marriage enrichment and stepfamily education and is the co-author of The Smart Stepfamily Guide to Financial Planning: Money Management Before and After You Blend a Family. Why Honest Money Conversations MatterThere once was a man who, when his girlfriend thought he was about to propose, surprised her by asking for her credit report instead. It's a funny story—but one that reveals a serious truth. Beneath money conversations are usually heart conversations.For couples forming blended families, this truth runs even deeper. Life has already taught them that marriage isn't guaranteed, whether because of death or a divorce. That experience creates an understandable sense of caution: How deeply do I invest again? Can I trust this new relationship?Money becomes the testing ground for those questions. That's why avoiding financial conversations doesn't protect your relationship—it weakens it. Only about one in four dating or engaged couples forming a blended family ever have a serious talk about finances before they marry. The rest often underestimate what needs to be uncovered.Finances are never just about dollars and cents. They're about values, power, and security. Beneath a discussion about budgets might be an unspoken fear: Will your children be treated equally with mine? Beneath a talk about wills might be a hidden worry: Will you care for my kids if I'm gone?There was once a woman who had been remarried for 25 years—two and a half decades of life together—and she still wondered whether her husband would provide equally for her children after she passed away. The question had never been resolved. It lingered from the past, quietly shaping their relationship.When those unspoken fears remain unaddressed, they create invisible walls. Healthy couples have the courage to name them and work through them together.The Challenge of Inheritance and TrustConsider the story of Sandra and Dave, a couple who married later in life. Sandra, a divorced mother of two adult children, was asked by her new husband, Dave, to change her will and make him her sole beneficiary. To Dave, who had no children of his own, the request seemed simple and loving: We're one now—just leave everything to me, and I'll take care of your family.But Sandra hesitated. Her adult children hadn't had time to form a close bond with Dave. For her, the request stirred deep questions: How do I know that what she's set aside for her children will be honored after she's gone?This is where trust, loyalty, and belonging intersect. Financial peace in a blended family isn't achieved through documents—it's achieved through relational clarity. You can't solve financial questions until you've addressed the relational ones.Moving from Prenuptial to TogethernessSo what's the alternative? In the book, The Smart Stepfamily Guide to Financial Planning: Money Management Before and After You Blend a Family, Ron Deal, Greg Pettis, and David Edwards, introduce what they call a “Togetherness Agreement.”Think of it as a redeemed version of a prenuptial agreement. A traditional prenup is something you do to your spouse—it outlines what they won't receive if the marriage fails. But a Togetherness Agreement is something you do for your spouse. It outlines how you will lovingly and intentionally provide for one another and your families.In a Togetherness Agreement, couples prayerfully decide together:How do they care for children from prior relationshipsHow inherited or premarital assets will be handledHow responsibilities to other households or parents will be honoredAnd how they'll support one another financially in love and unityIt's not about dividing assets—it's about uniting hearts. This process builds emotional safety, which in turn builds trust. When couples feel safe, they can finally exhale, knowing they are truly invested in each other.Taking Inventory—Emotionally and FinanciallyBefore crafting any agreement, couples need to take inventory. That means both emotional and financial reflection.Ask questions like:What financial baggage or debts are we bringing in?What past wounds or fears still shape the way we view money?What are our goals—for our family, our faith, and our future?Blended families are always born out of loss—whether death, divorce, or something else. That history doesn't have to define the new relationship, but it does need to be acknowledged. Honest reflection helps couples avoid repeating old patterns and build a healthier foundation together.Every couple's situation is different, but here are key topics that should be covered in a Togetherness Agreement:Joint and separate accountsDebt and financial obligations from prior marriagesChild or spousal support payments to other householdsRetirement, insurance, and investmentsCollege, cars, and other child-related expensesCovering these topics doesn't weaken love—it strengthens it. It replaces assumptions with clarity and fear with peace.If all of this feels overwhelming, take heart. You don't have to figure it out alone. Seek wise counsel—a trusted financial planner, pastor, or Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) can help you find creative and God-honoring ways to care for your family.And above all, remember this: God's grace is sufficient for your blended family. Submit your plans to Him. Let Him guide the process. As you do, He will grow you—not only in financial wisdom, but in love, unity, and faith.When couples move from mine and yours to ours, they begin to reflect the very heart of God, who makes two one, and who calls us to love generously, even in the way we handle money.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I've been struggling with $26,000 in credit card debt that I recently disclosed to my husband. A credit consolidation company says they can negotiate it down, so I'd pay $400 every two weeks and be debt-free in four years. It sounds good, but is this a trustworthy option—or are there drawbacks I should watch out for?I have UTMA accounts for my two sons, but I am considering switching to 529 plans. I'm mainly concerned that with the UTMA, they'll gain full control of the money once they come of age. Would a 529 plan be a wiser choice?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)The Smart Stepfamily Guide to Financial Planning: Money Management Before and After You Blend a Family by Ron L.
