In four powerful reminders from Orchos Tzaddikim, Rabbi Wolbe teaches us how to live every single day with awe, humility, and unstoppable growth:Stay in your lane of wonder Remember you are lower than the angels yet infinitely higher than animals. Hashem made you master of the entire physical world — fruit, fish, birds, beasts — and then revealed His deepest secrets to you in the Torah. The only proper response is to walk through life like a humbled servant who has just been crowned king: “How grateful one must be for all of this!”Grow so slowly the Yetzer Hara doesn't even notice The secret to permanent change is tiny, tiny habits. Rabbi Wolbe shares his grandfather's Yom Kippur War story: the IDF flew the plane just inches above the sand to stay under Egyptian radar. “That's how we grow,” he says. If you announce “I'll never speak lashon hara again!” the yetzer hara shoots you down instantly. But if you quietly commit to never switching on one unnecessary light on Shabbos — a tiny blip — the yetzer hara thinks it's just a bird. Once that tiny mitzvah becomes part of your DNA, the ground beneath you rises, the radar rises with it, and suddenly you're flying high without ever having triggered the alarm. “Small step → habit → new you → higher radar → next small step.” Quotable gem: “The yetzer hara has perfect radar for big declarations… but it completely misses the guy crawling under the fence with one tiny improvement.”Invest in real friends (without an agenda) Always do good for others exactly the way you wish they would do good for you — but do it because it's right, not because you'll have a side benefit that they love you back. Rabbi Wolbe contrasts this with a famous self-help book on “how to win friends” that left him disgusted: “That book teaches how to kiss up so people will kiss up to you. That's networking, not friendship.” True brotherhood is loving them for their sake, not yours. “Reveal your deepest secrets only to one in a thousand… but give your kindness to everyone.”Fall in love with the world every single morning Because we see sunrises, rain, flowers, and stars every day, we stop being amazed — and that is the greatest tragedy. Orchos Tzaddikim demands we live as if we were blind from birth and today, for the first time, our eyes opened. “Pretend you just landed from Mars and you've never seen a tulip, a thunderstorm, or a Texas sunset — then look!” Rabbi Wolbe confesses he was “a little selfish” this Shabbos and bought his wife tulips because he personally finds them breathtaking. His plea: “Pull over on the side of the road when you see that sunset. It's Hashem's personal love note to you right now. Don't get used to miracles.”Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on April 28, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on December 2, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Henk de Regt is a professor of Philosophy of Science and the director of the Institute for Science in Society at Radboud University. Henk wrote the book on Understanding. Literally, he wrote what has become a classic in philosophy of science, Understanding Scientific Understanding. Henks' account of understanding goes roughly like this, but you can learn more in his book and other writings. To claim you understand something in science requires that you can produce a theory-based explanation of whatever you claim to understand, and it depends on you having the right scientific skills to be able to work productively with that theory - for example, making qualitative predictions about it without performing calculations. So understanding is contextual and depends on the skills of the understander. There's more nuance to it, so like I said you should read the book, but this account of understanding distinguishes it from explanation itself, and distinguishes it from other accounts of understanding, which take understanding to be either a personal subjective sense - that feeling of something clicking in your mind - or simply the addition of more facts about something. In this conversation, we revisit Henk's work on understanding, and how it touches on many other topics, like realism, the use of metaphors, how public understanding differs from expert understanding, idealization and abstraction in science, and so on. And, because Henk's kind of understanding doesn't depend on subjective awareness or things being true, he and his cohorts have begun working on whether there could be a benchmark for degrees of understanding, to possibly asses whether AI demonstrates understanding, and to use as a common benchmark for humans and machines.

On this week’s Bestie Advice Segment, we’re talking about the silent struggle so many women face but rarely admit out loud… losing attraction in marriage. When stress, kids, businesses, and the weight of everyday life pile up, the spark that once felt effortless can vanish.

We dive into why this happens, how stress and familiarity kill attraction, and most importantly… what it takes to get your sexy, confident, magnetic self back. If you’ve ever thought, “Where did my spark go?” this is the conversation you didn’t know you needed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode features a deep, candid conversation about the journey through severe anxiety, self-mastery, and finding purpose. The speaker recounts his battle with anxiety and depression over six years, leading to what he describes as his darkest moment—a planned suicide attempt on the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver just before his son was due to be born.About Dennis Simsek AKA The Anxiety GuyDennis is a distinguished anxiety expert with over 15 years of dedicated life coaching practice in transforming lives through his groundbreaking methods for anxiety healing. Renowned for his compassionate approach and unparalleled anxiety expertise, Dennis has become a beacon of hope for those grappling with anxiety disorders.Key Topics and Insights:The Turning Point: The speaker shares the miraculous, intuitive moment where the word "Hayat" (Turkish for "life") came to him, connecting him to his unborn son and giving him a sudden, renewed sense of hope and a "detour" from the darkness. This experience became the catalyst for his path to true inner healing and self-mastery.The Nature of Anxiety: Anxiety is described not as an illness or disease, but as a "bundle of habits" and a state of dysregulation in the nervous system. The core mechanism is perceived threat—feeling like a truck is coming at you 100 miles an hour, even in safe situations like a cafe.The Role of Addiction: A powerful concept introduced is the "addiction to suffering." People remain stuck in anxiety because the suffering state is familiar, and familiarity equals safety to a dysregulated nervous system, even if it's painful.Social Media's Impact: Social media amplifies anxiety by mimicking the nervous system's algorithms, constantly serving up negative, divisive, or comparative content that reinforces existing fears and negative self-beliefs (e.g., "I'm not good enough").TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Introduction: Anxiety Symptoms and Personal Story2:27 - The Darkest Moment and Finding a Turning Point7:35 - The Internal Struggle and Hiding Anxiety9:36 - Defining Anxiety: Complexity and Patterns13:55 - The Addiction to Suffering and Familiarity as Safety17:31 - Explaining Anxiety: Perceived Threat and Chronic State21:23 - Unrecognized Symptoms: Rushing, Dread, and Hiding28:01 - Root Causes: Learned Beliefs and Dysregulation32:54 - The Role of Social Media and the Value of Boredom40:08 - Coping with Overwhelm: Acknowledging and Feeling Emotions44:56 - Reframing Anxiety as Unconditional Love (The Bodyguard)47:07 - Quick Tools: Pattern Interrupt and Thought Re-framing52:21 - In-the-Moment Relief: Safety Cues and Playfulness57:51 - Final Message: Hope, Visualization, and Life as a Gift

Why do we keep holding on to things that don't serve us—relationships, habits, or clutter that drains our energy? In this episode, Laura Lummer explores how the brain's desire for safety keeps us clinging to what's familiar, even when it hurts us. You'll hear about two fascinating studies on the psychology of familiarity and habit formation, and learn how awareness, curiosity, and small acts of release can help you create space for what's truly meant for you.

In this episode of the Good Leadership Podcast, Charles Good interviews Amy Herman, a lawyer turned art historian, who discusses the concept of visual intelligence and its importance in leadership and problem-solving. Herman explains how art can enhance observation skills and communication, leading to better decision-making. She introduces her framework, the Art of Perception, which consists of four stages: assess, analyze, articulate, and adapt. The conversation also delves into overcoming biases, the significance of active observation, and practical steps to improve one's observational skills.TakeawaysVisual intelligence is the ability to see what others don't.Art provides a safe space for sharpening observation skills.Effective communication is essential for visual intelligence.No two people perceive things the same way.Familiarity can lead to overlooking important details.Active observation can reveal hidden opportunities.Shifting default thinking is crucial for problem-solving.Asking the right questions can clarify ambiguity.Multiple perspectives enhance decision-making.Regular feedback is vital for self-awareness.Unlocking Visual Intelligence for LeadersThe Art of Observation in LeadershipChapters00:00 The Art of Perception: Introduction to Visual Intelligence07:26 Understanding Visual Intelligence and Its Importance13:29 The Role of Art in Enhancing Observation Skills20:53 Overcoming Biases and Enhancing Decision-Making26:40 Strategies for Effective Observation and Communication32:59 Navigating Ambiguity: Questions for Clarity

Send me a Text Message!In this episode, Mike returns to the foundational — but rarely mastered — concept of Healthy Selfishness. He shares how giving without receiving leads to depletion, why most people are unconsciously afraid to receive, and how deserving, expecting, and receiving are actually nervous system conditions — not mindset problems. This episode is a permission slip to stop playing martyr, start playing big, and rewire your body for reciprocity, worthiness, and overflow.Key TakeawaysYou Are Not the Meat Suit — You Are the Awareness Navigating It Understanding this distinction is the beginning of every transformation.The Nervous System Is Wired for Familiarity, Not Fulfillment If you're conditioned to overgive, you'll feel unsafe receiving until your body is reconditioned.Selfishness Is Just a Triggered Word — Not a Truth What we call “selfish” is often just healthy boundaries and energetic reciprocity.Deservedness, Expectation, and Receptivity Are Somatic You can't out-think these — you have to feel and rewire them in the body.You Were Built to Give — Now It's Time to Learn to Receive Until you receive, your giving will always have a ceiling… and an expiration.Notable Quotes“The greatest lie ever perpetuated in human history is that it's better to give than receive.”“For almost my whole life, I was living as if these beliefs were true.”“Your nervous system has one task and one task only — and that's to keep you alive.”“The limitation of our expectation is what we do feel that we do deserve.”“I deserve what I want. I expect what I want. I receive what I want — because I'm worth what I want.”Call to Action

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sit down with my buddy Chad Sylvester to break down what it takes to level up. We dig into his recent trip to Idaho—a hunt that didn't exactly go as planned but came loaded with lessons that stick. We talk about when to double down on what you do best and when to push past your comfort zone to grow as a hunter. From understanding terrain-specific deer behavior to balancing specialization with adaptability, this one's all about the mental side of the game—how you think, adjust, and evolve season after season. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 464 Mastering your whitetail hunt requires a diverse toolkit and adaptable mindset. Specialization builds confidence but can narrow your perspective. Chad's Idaho hunt delivered hard-earned lessons and real-world insights. Micro-terrain and historical data hold the keys to consistent deer encounters. Familiarity bias can stall growth—explore new ground and learn from it. Listening to what the hunt tells you is often more valuable than any plan.

Switching sleep spaces can be stressful for both parents and babies. Whether you are moving your little from their bassinet to their crib, crib to big kid bed, bedsharing to floor bed, it can be a big transition. In this episode I'm sharing ways to make the transition easier for everyone. I talk you through building familiarity with the new sleep space, helping them feel safe and connected to you in that sleep space, and tips for supporting them through the transition. Some strategies work at all ages, and other ones I break down by age. Connect with Kim Instagram: instagram.com/intuitive_parenting_dcFacebook:  facebook.com/intuitiveparentingdcLearn more about working with Kim: https://intuitiveparentingdc.com/

Tracey Testo-Smith returns to Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley to share her knowledge and experience about foraging. In this episode, Tim and Jean sit down with Tracey Testo-Smith, Agroforestry and Natural Resources Program Manager at Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Columbia and Greene Counties, to discuss the practice of foraging. This interview was originally recorded as part of the Digging In With Master Gardeners radio show on WGXC 90.7FM and now repurposed for a podcast format. Tracey reviews some of the misconceptions about what foraging actually is. Foraging doesn't need a vast array of information about everything in the forest. The main thing to know is whether a plant is useful, either for food or medicinal purposes. Tracey leads foraging walks in the spring at the Hudson CCE campus and in the fall at the Acra campus. Her classes before the walks teach folks how to identify individual plants before they even step into the woods. She often brings in co-presenters to expand their access to expertise. The public can enroll online and sign up for quarterly newsletters at http://ccecolumbiagreene.org. There are always common sense caveats: know the history of the site you're collecting from... for example, a former farm may have residual pesticide contamination. don't forage along a roadside where contamination happens daily from passing cars. Another factor to be aware of is the name of the plant. Often a common name will be misleading. Hemlock, for instance, can be a benign evergreen tree or a poisonous weed. Knowing the botanical name avoids any such confusion and danger. To start as a forager on your own, Tracey suggests that you really get to know a plant, even for as long as a year. Familiarity with the plant's different stages lets you know the most useful times to “harvest”, She cites the dandelion as an example, whose different parts are useful in different seasons. Then leaves can be harvested first in early spring, then the flower buds, then petals, and finally the roots. Their values range from food to dying tints to medicinal, all varying according to part and season.Some plants, like pokeberry and elderberry, have certain parts that are edible while the rest of the plant is poisonous. Tracey finds salad greens in chickweed and blue violets, and bittercress. While these can be eaten raw, always stay aware of the possibility of pollutants when using plants near water. Ramps are famously a popular dish in restaurants, in season. These are wild leeks, and very specific as to their growing conditions. They are very slow growers, taking up to a decade to reach maturity. Tracey advises that you be exceptionally thoughtful if collecting in the wild. The leaves and bulbs are both edible. Don't try to take them home to grow because they will not survive the removal. There are now growers who can sell you bulbs to start at home without disrupting fragile populations. Teas are another way to use foraged plants. Most mints are amenable to teas, as are clovers and yarrow. These are all amenable to drying as well, so can be stockpiled for winter use. Plants are not the only target of foragers. Tracey covers the practice of mushroom hunting. Different seasons produce wild crops of different varieties of mushrooms. Early spring is for Morels, midsummer for Chanterelles, and autumn for Chicken (or hen) of the woods. Tracey reviews what the warning signs are of poison mushrooms, and reviews the possibility of growing your own, with CCE classes available. Every mushroom, by the way, is safe to handle, even if toxic.Going deeper into the subject of what's poisonous, the environment can alter the nature of a plant. Stinging nettle can absorb heavy metals from a polluted site. Know your location's history if possible. There are plants that are a contact risk, like poison ivy or water hemlock. It's wise to know the plants that grow around your foraging target plants.  Tracey advises to harvest moderately, so as to insure the future of the plant. The exception to this practice is invasives. If a plant is invasive... eat it all. The example she uses is Japanese knotweed. Sprouts taste like asparagus blended with rhubarb, it's full of antioxidants. The leaves can even be utilized in a paper making process.

In our last article, we talked about Debunking the Physical vs. Non-Physical Myth. The entire discussion ended up on our podcast, Driving To The Rez, and even turned into music.The episode was then followed by another one where the panelists talked about what “wind” meant in “bananas and wind”... for about two hours.We tried sharing some interesting facts about reality creation and the physical universe, but we don't think it quite landed.It appeared that “wind,” meaning “toots,” was more interesting.The panelists were sure their brains did not turn to “mush” when we spoke, but we find it hard to believe that five highly intelligent beings would talk about toots or wind for two hours when the reality of the universe was a possible discussion - unless their brains were well and truly mushed.And yes, we have been asked what “mush” is. Mush is a technical term meaning that your brain melts into a mass of jumbled thoughts in which even toots seem interesting.One of the pieces of guidance we had coming in was to not leave a mark on the physical universe. This is hard to do for most people, as not only do they leave marks - or want to - but they are, in fact, co-creating the physical universe on a continuous basis, milli-moment by milli-moment.We often find ourselves in situations that are different from what we have experienced in the past, and we look around for familiarity. Familiarity often provides data we can use to figure out what is happening. For example, if we see an image that has a head, four legs, a tail, and two pointy-up ears, we already know the image is that of some sort of four-legged animal. Once I add the next descriptor, your mind will go to only one animal: “in the image, the tail is moving quickly from side to side, wagging.”This descriptor builds an image from things you are familiar with in your mind's memory banks.In the same way, we walk through life experiencing “images” from the different senses and looking for points of familiarity to figure out what is happening.In our case, not much is familiar to us, and we have to tap into the human collective - or another person's mind - to find the common factor that will give an indication of what is happening at that precise point in time. You see this often in young kids, when something is happening that they are not familiar with they will look at the adults around to “learn” how to respond or react to it.But even then, after figuring out what is happening, in our case we end up with our eyes and mouth open in awe.Not leaving a mark on the human co-creation of physical reality is done by walking inside other people's creations. Their creations can be amplified with our presence, but not necessarily so. We can try to influence those co-creations to go our way - to make things happen that make our existence here more pleasant - but it is a bit of a waste of time. People's co-creations are like a very fast train on smooth and clear tracks. Fast and unwavering.For example: lack of money. There is no lack of money. However, in many co-creators this is a real thing, and money is hard to come by. Why they have chosen a life where money is hard to come by is a mystery, but there is not much we can do about it.It is fascinating to watch, however - although sometimes uncomfortable to “allow.” The drive to “leave a mark” on that or similar situations is big. But even if we try, it often falls on deaf ears or is quickly forgotten.One of the things we have figured out, however, is that if we “ask” the human collective if it is OK to influence or inform the population about something, and they say “yes,” we can go ahead and do it. Most of the time, if the item is big, there is a pushback in physicality to stop us from sharing - and then wind and bananas come flying in. We smile, shrug our shoulders, and move on.Did you know the desert in Colorado is covered in anthills? They make them out of grains of sand. Even the smallest beings build their world… grain by grain.The discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

It is an audacious thought, but God invites us to be His friend. Typically, friendship involves FAMILIARITY and FONDNESS. I'd argue that God has already proven that He knows you well, and that He's so crazy about you that He exchanged something of great value for your rescue.The weak link in the friendship relationship is probably us.  We might lack a bit in the FAMILIARITY of God by being sloppy in our study or pursuit of Him.  We might be cool in our FONDNESS. Join me for 7 minutes to pursue the friendship of God, which is also to day, BE PURSUED by the friendship of God. https://youtu.be/goOc90kavt8

Dusty from Toronto Canada shared with us this past Sunday on the dangers of familiarity!

It's the return of Erica! Sen got to goof off most of the summer without her, but now she's back and she has a great topic to start off Q3-Q4 of 2025 - Familiarity. Erica and Sen discuss how designers and publishers may want to think about familiarity when producing games. While the saying usually goes something like "familiarity breeds contempt," Erica and Sen argue that a little familiarity goes a long way to increase a game's approachability. *Audio note* Sen's mic was acting up during recording; please excuse the subtle phasing you may hear.

Every day, you walk past opportunities for a better life—a game-changing business connection, a piece of life-altering wisdom, or a deep friendship. You don't see them because they are hidden inside other people, and you've already decided who they are.   In a profound episode of the Personal Mastery Training podcast, the hosts reveal how we unknowingly kill our own opportunities through a single, destructive habit: labeling. The moment you place a label on someone, you stop being curious. And the moment curiosity dies, so does your opportunity for growth. Key Highlights from the Discussion The Labeling Trap: The core idea is simple but transformative: "The labels that we place on other people fracture opportunity." When you judge someone based on their appearance, job, or your past experiences with them, you slam the door on what they could teach you or how they could change your life. The Need to Be Right Destroys Curiosity: This is the ultimate communication killer. If you enter a conversation with the goal of being right, you have already lost. You cannot be curious and defensive at the same time. Prioritize understanding over winning, and you will unlock a new level of connection. Curiosity Turns Enemies into Friends: The hosts shared a powerful story about Abraham Lincoln, who argued that the best way to destroy an enemy is to make them your friend. How? Through curiosity. Asking questions to understand another's perspective is the fastest way to dissolve conflict and find common ground. People Crave to Be Seen: The deepest human need is to be seen, heard, and valued. When you approach someone with genuine curiosity, you give them that gift. In return, they lower their walls, and a real connection becomes possible. Stop Seeing a Past Version of People: "Familiarity breeds contempt." Are you still seeing your partner, your child, or your old friend as the person they were five years ago? Be curious about who they are becoming. This is where new layers of your most important relationships are waiting to be discovered. The Takeaway Your greatest opportunities are hidden in the people you meet every day. The key to unlocking them is to replace judgment with curiosity. In your next conversation, resist the urge to label, to be right, or to wait for your turn to speak. Instead, ask a genuine question, listen with the intent to understand, and watch as a new world of possibilities opens up right in front of you  

Join my upcoming Mindset Breakthrough Program: https://www.vickibaird.com/mindset-breakthrough-sign-up Take the saboteurs assessment by visiting this link: https://www.positiveintelligence.com/saboteurs/   In this episode of Intuition: Your Success Compass, I challenge the whole idea of the “comfort zone” because goodness gracious, most of the time it's not really comfortable, it's just familiar. If you've ever felt stuck, hesitant, or like something is calling you forward but your brain hits the brakes, you're not alone. You may actually be human! We'll talk about why your inner critic (and your wiring) might label growth as danger, and how to reframe that fear as wisdom. I share personal stories, client examples, and actionable tips to help you move from self-doubt to aligned decision-making—one small, courageous step at a time. This episode is especially for the women in business (or dreaming of starting one) who are ready to expand consciously, not chaotically.

The Fathers in the Evergetinos remind us that the measure of our discipleship is often revealed in how we respond to insult and injury. The world teaches us to defend ourselves, to demand justice, to take vengeance so as not to appear weak. But the Gospel calls us to something altogether different, something that cuts against every instinct of pride: to bear wrongs patiently, to forgive from the heart, and to entrust judgment to God. Abba Cassian tells us that meekness is not merely restraining the tongue, but cleansing the heart itself from the remembrance of wrongs. Outward silence while inwardly replaying offenses is no victory. Unless the root of anger is excised, hatred and envy grow unseen. I know this in myself — how quickly I replay words spoken against me, how easily I justify my resentment. Yet God sees these thoughts, hidden to others, as clearly as if they were deeds. The elders of the desert show us another way. Abba Sisoes shocks a brother out of his thirst for revenge by praying that, since the man insists on avenging himself, God need no longer care for him. Abba Silouan alters the Lord's Prayer to expose the truth of the brother's heart: “forgive us not our debts, as we forgive not our debtors.” Their teaching is sharp, but it leaves no room for illusion. If I ask God for mercy, I must extend mercy to my brother, or else my prayer condemns me. The Fathers press us to look at Christ Himself. He endured insult without anger, was silent under reviling, forgave those who crucified Him, and laid down His life for those who sinned against Him. When I see how easily I take offense, how quickly I lash out or withdraw, I realize how little I resemble Him. And yet the call is clear: to follow Christ is to walk His path of forbearance, not simply to admire it from a distance. This is where the path of the Fathers collides with the way of the world. To the secular mind, insult must be answered, wrong must be repaid, and forgiveness is weakness. But in Christ's kingdom, insult becomes an opportunity to share in His meekness, wrongs become the occasion to enter His patience, and forgiveness becomes our share in His Cross. And so I am left with a choice, not abstract but daily, often in small things: Will I bear insult with humility, or will I cling to pride? Will I entrust myself to God's justice, or will I grasp for my own? The Fathers tell me plainly: if I cannot endure the smallest slights, how will I endure greater trials? If I cannot forgive the neighbor who wounds me in words, how can I hope to be known by Christ, who forgave even His executioners? The divine ethos is stark. To love those who hate me. To pray for those who grieve me. To forbear without resentment. To entrust vengeance to God. This is not optional; it is the very mark of one who has died and risen with Christ. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:12:59 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 281 B 00:14:30 Forrest Cavalier: https://biblehub.com/greek/3954.htm  Translated as Familiarity in Hypothesis 34 book 2, p266 00:19:11 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 281 B 00:40:05 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 283 A 00:50:41 Andrew Zakhari: It is amazing how what we would say to each other changes dramatically when we consider directing those same words to God. Prayer exposes our sin and converts us. 01:04:55 Kate : Would the Fathers take a pacifist position?  And would they not accept the Catholic just-war theory? 01:06:37 Catherine Opie: I am always amazed at how apt these readings are. I always get exactly what I need for whatever the inner struggle or circumstance is that is current for me or around me generally as a societal or news event. I have been attacked physically and, to my surprise, my instinct was to fight back like a wild animal. How do we learn to obstruct that survival instinct we have? 01:15:00 Maureen Cunningham: Thank you Blessing 01:15:19 Andrew Adams: Thanks be to God! Thank you, Father! 01:15:21 Rebecca Thérèse: Thank you☺️ 01:15:27 Jennifer Dantchev: Thank you! 01:15:35 Catherine Opie: God bless

Send us a textHave you fallen into the trap of taking your partner for granted? When comfort turns to complacency, even the strongest PMDD relationships can crumble.Relationships where one partner has Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder come with unique challenges that require extraordinary patience and understanding. Yet over time, we often become dangerously familiar with each other's efforts. That morning text that once made your day becomes expected. The way your partner adapts to your changing needs throughout your cycle seems ordinary rather than remarkable. The boundaries you established early on get casually violated because "what's the big deal just this once?"This familiarity creates a slippery slope. Communication deteriorates first—partners stop checking in consistently or assume silence means everything's fine. Boundaries erode when comfort replaces mindfulness. Perhaps most damaging is how disrespectful communication gradually becomes normalized: "This is just how we talk to each other when we're upset." Each small instance of taking your partner for granted accumulates into significant resentment.For relationships affected by PMDD, this pattern is particularly destructive. The cyclical nature of symptoms means unresolved issues compound month after month until even the most committed partnerships break under the strain. Worse still, when children witness these dynamics, they internalize them as normal relationship models for their future.Breaking this cycle requires intention. Regular emotional check-ins, consistent appreciation for your partner's specific qualities, respecting established boundaries, and developing tools for healthy conflict resolution all help maintain the connection that brought you together initially. Remember—being in a PMDD relationship requires work, but the deep love and care that individuals with PMDD typically bring makes that effort worthwhile.Don't wait until your partner walks away to recognize their value. What will you appreciate about them today?

After more than a decade of coaching women through marriage struggles, I've learned that desire in long-term relationships is widely misunderstood.We think it's a magical feeling that appears when we're with the “right” person, that it should always be spontaneous, and that focusing on our own pleasure is selfish.The truth is, desire takes effort, intention, and a willingness to be an active participant in creating it.Familiarity, daily responsibilities, and unresolved hurts can all drain desire.But we can bring it back by making space for spontaneity and adventure, planning intimacy so we can be present for it, and giving ourselves permission to care about our own pleasure.Desire doesn't just happen—it's something we can nurture if we choose.Struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you're serious about finding that answer?
