Beer cans with the bride and groom's faces on them, a dress that just HAD to be Aussie, and a dog in a dress... Yes, we're talking about Albo's wedding, and the problem with marrying the Prime Minister. Also, what does the winner of the TikTok Awards — a dad of four who posts pranks and skits with his kids online — tell us about the different standards for the way men and woman 'sharent'? And everyone's talking about an Oprah Winfrey show episode, which is extremely 2011, about family estrangement, and the 'contagion' of going 'No Contact' with your family. Only problem is... Are all these boundaries kind of Oprah's fault? Plus, why Robert Irwin has achieved world domination by being... nice. Holly, Amelia and Jessie get into it. AND into some Mamamia merch.

Welcome back to Dial Emma! Each week, I'll be answering your dilemmas with honesty, empathy, and a few therapeutic truth bombs to help you make sense of life's stickiest moments. If you've ever wished you had a therapist in your back pocket, Dial Emma is here to help.We're kicking off the festive season with a dilemma that sheds some light on the one family dynamic that doesn't always get the airtime: the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. To help me explore this topic in more depth, I'm joined by Dr. Tracy Dalgleish, a clinical psychologist and relationship expert who has also written a book, You, Your Husband & His Mother.In this week's dilemma, our listener shares her struggle with feeling like a guest in her own Christmas celebrations due to her mother-in-law's controlling nature, and her husband's tendency to revert back into childhood obedience and avoid 'causing drama' at all costs. We discuss the emotional challenges of navigating difficult family dynamics, particularly at this time of year, the importance of setting boundaries and how (and when!) to approach those conversations, and Tracy's 'Vault Method', which helps couples to communicate their values and needs effectively. Tracy also highlights the six types of mothers-in-law that she outlines in her book, offering some incredibly useful insights on how to approach family gatherings with compassion and understanding.Listen to our previous episode on the Drama Triangle.---If you have a dilemma for Emma, please fill out this form. ---Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.---Social media:Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrellDial Emma @dialemmapodcastEmail: contact@dial-emma.uk

In this Thanksgiving episode, we're settling in together—just like we would the night before a big holiday—to talk about the messy, heartfelt, complicated world of family dynamics. Even though both of us are having quieter Thanksgivings this year, we're deep in our own real-life family seasons, and this conversation comes straight from the thick of it. We explore why the holidays stir up so much, why cut-offs have become so common, and how we can show up for ourselves without losing connection to the people we care about.We also dive into emotional tolerance, boundaries that actually work in real life, and the surprising ways expectations shape our holiday experience.

Catholic Money Mastermind - Financial Planning conversations with Catholic CFP® Practitioners
Today, Ben sits down with fellow Catholic financial planners Nick Orenduff and Charlie Horonzy for a rich roundtable on what it truly means to live a generous, ordered, and faith-centered life. Together, they wrestle with the tension between self-giving and self-preservation—how to pour ourselves out for God, family, and community without crossing into burnout or misplaced busyness. Nick reflects on the daily discipline of keeping God first, family second, and career third, while Charlie shares how prayer, discernment, and spirituality help him know when to say yes or no to new commitments. The trio also explore how seasons of life shape our ability to serve, how financial boundaries mirror spiritual ones, and why surrendering control is often the most faithful form of stewardship. Woven through their conversation is a deep trust that God's providence can transform even our limitations into grace. By the end, Ben, Nick, and Charlie invite listeners to view their time, money, and energy not as burdens to manage, but as sacred resources to be aligned with God's will—one prayerful decision at a time.Key Takeaways:• A well-ordered life begins by placing God first, family second, and career third—a framework that helps align all other decisions.• True generosity doesn't mean saying yes to everything; it means discerning where God is actually calling you to give.• The way we serve changes as our responsibilities shift—young parents, for example, are called to focus more deeply on family.• Offering our struggles and discomfort to God transforms them into acts of love and participation in His plan.• Recognizing life's brevity encourages intentionality about how we spend our weeks and years.• Our careers, finances, and families are not possessions to control but gifts to steward in loving obedience.Key Timestamps:(01:55) – Balancing Work and Life(07:53) – Trusting God and Letting Go(10:03) – Family Dynamics and Communication(17:42) – Seasons of Life and Service(20:24) – Balancing Volunteering and Personal Boundaries(23:47) – Navigating Life's Noise and Staying Focused on God(31:46) – The Value of Time and Living IntentionallyMentions:Website: https://www.focusedupfinancial.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlie-horonzy-cfp%C2%AE-cpa-8802b910/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FocusedUpFinancial# Website: https://www.planmember.com/advisor/?bk=NOrenduff LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholas-ross-orenduff-cfp%C2%AE-a45a7524b/ Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver BurkemanThe Practice of the Presence of God by Brother LawrenceMore of Catholic Money Mastermind:Catholic Money Mastermind Podcast is a personal podcast meant for educational and entertainment.

Send us a textWhen your relationship is already on the rocks, the holidays don't feel magical. They feel brittle. One sharp comment in the kitchen, one loaded question at the dinner table, and suddenly everyone is walking on eggshells just trying to “get through it.”In this episode of Love Shack Live, Staci, Tom, and Brooke talk honestly about why the holidays hit struggling couples so hard. They unpack the collision between Hallmark expectations and real-life pressure: money stress, family dynamics, political tension, old wounds, and the silent agreements to “just make it good for the kids” and deal with the relationship later.You'll hear real stories from their own family table, along with the emotional patterns they see every year in their work with couples. And instead of white-knuckling your way to January, Staci shares the exact skills that help you steady yourself when things get tense:How to set realistic expectations so you don't collapse under pressureHow to slow your nervous system when you're spinning upHow to create tiny rituals of connection, even if you're separatedHow to set agreements with your partner before you walk into the holiday chaosHow to repair quickly when something goes sidewaysAnd because so many listeners have asked what they can do right now to avoid another painful, disconnected holiday season, Staci created something special for this moment:
This week, we're looking at how our families shaped the way we think about boundaries and why holiday gatherings like Thanksgiving tend to reactivate old roles and survival strategies. This episode explores how to show up differently this Thanksgiving — grounded, prepared, and centered — instead of slipping back into the versions of ourselves we've outgrown. You'll learn how to notice old triggers before you walk in the door, create invisible boundaries that protect your energy, plan resets and exit strategies without guilt, and stay connected to the adult version of you instead of the child who learned to self-abandon. This is about creating safety inside yourself so you no longer trade your peace for approval. Three Things to Think About: 1. Why family gatherings often reactivate old roles — and how to stay anchored in the adult you are now, not the child you used to be. 2. How to prepare your nervous system before you arrive so you can stay present, grounded, and connected to yourself throughout the day. 3. Simple ways to protect your peace quietly and confidently even when others have big emotions, expectations, or reactions. The adult you are today gets to make choices the child version of you never had. Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? Do you feel confident walking into the day—family dynamics and all—and actually enjoying it? If you're feeling nervous, overwhelmed, or unsure of how everything is going to play out, this episode is for you. Today I'm sharing the mindset shifts, heart posture, and practical tools that will help you have an amazing Thanksgiving no matter what circumstances greet you. As we head into the holiday, so many of us wrestle with expectations, old wounds, family tension, overstimulation, or just the desire to control how the day goes. I've been there. I've ruined holidays because of the picture I built up in my mind. I've stressed myself out as a host. I've gotten dysregulated by dynamics I didn't expect. And over the years God has really taught me how to enter the day differently—with freedom, intentionality, and a heart that is focused on love over perfection. In this episode, I walk you through the six and a half things that will help you experience a truly peaceful, joy-filled Thanksgiving this year—one that honors God, strengthens your relationships, and keeps your heart grounded no matter what happens. love, Brittany Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

snoede vej til Astrids bondegård.En: The leaves crackled underfoot as one walked up the winding road to Astrid's farmhouse.Da: Duften af ristede kastanjer og krydrede æbler fyldte luften.En: The scent of roasted chestnuts and spiced apples filled the air.Da: Det var Mortensaften, og Astrid, familiens matriark, havde arbejdet flittigt i køkkenet for at forberede den traditionelle fest.En: It was Mortensaften, and Astrid, the family's matriarch, had been working diligently in the kitchen to prepare the traditional feast.Da: Køkkenets vinduer var dugget fra dampen af en saftig andesteg.En: The kitchen windows were fogged from the steam of a juicy roast duck.Da: Indenfor var stuerne pyntet med tørrede blade og små græskar.En: Inside, the rooms were decorated with dried leaves and small pumpkins.Da: Et knitrende bål i kaminen skabte en hyggelig varme.En: A crackling fire in the fireplace created a cozy warmth.Da: Astrid ønskede at samle sin familie til en mindeværdig aften, hvor latter og fællesskab kunne fylde rummet.En: Astrid wished to gather her family for a memorable evening, where laughter and togetherness could fill the room.Da: Jens, hendes ældste søn, sad i et hjørne med blikket fastlåst på sin telefon.En: Jens, her eldest son, sat in a corner, his gaze fixed on his phone.Da: Arbejdet havde slugt al hans energi, og selv nu, mens duften af brunede kartofler lokkede, kunne han ikke slippe sine bekymringer.En: Work had consumed all his energy, and even now, as the scent of browned potatoes tempted him, he couldn't let go of his worries.Da: Kasper, den yngste, så tankefuld ud, idet han stirrede ud ad vinduet mod de farverige efterårsblade.En: Kasper, the youngest, looked thoughtful as he stared out the window at the colorful autumn leaves.Da: Han overvejede en stor livsændring, og usikkerheden veg ikke fra hans sind.En: He was contemplating a major life change, and the uncertainty would not leave his mind.Da: Astrid børstede mel af sine hænder og besluttede sig for at tale med hver af dem for at forstå deres uro.En: Astrid brushed flour off her hands and decided to talk to each of them to understand their unease.Da: Hun gik først hen til Jens.En: She first went over to Jens.Da: "Hvordan går det, min dreng?"En: "How are you, my boy?"Da: spurgte hun blidt.En: she asked gently.Da: Hans skuldre sank, og han betragtede sine hænder.En: His shoulders sagged, and he looked at his hands.Da: "Det er arbejdet, mor.En: "It's work, mom.Da: Jeg føler aldrig, jeg er god nok."En: I never feel like I'm good enough."Da: Astrid nikkede forstående og krammede ham.En: Astrid nodded understandingly and hugged him.Da: "Vi finder ud af det sammen.En: "We'll figure it out together.Da: Det lover jeg."En: I promise."Da: Derefter fandt hun Kasper ved vinduet.En: Then she found Kasper by the window.Da: "Der er noget, der trykker dig, skat," sagde hun.En: "Something's bothering you, honey," she said.Da: Han sukkede.En: He sighed.Da: "Jeg overvejer at flytte til byen.En: "I'm considering moving to the city.Da: Men jeg er usikker."En: But I'm unsure."Da: "Det er okay at være i tvivl," svarede Astrid.En: "It's okay to have doubts," Astrid replied.Da: Hun rakte ud og klemte hans hånd, "Uanset hvad, støtter vi dig."En: She reached out and squeezed his hand, "No matter what, we support you."Da: Da aftenen nærmede sig, satte familien sig rundt om det dækkede bord.En: As the evening approached, the family sat around the set table.Da: Astrid rejste sig med et glas i hånden og holdt en rørende tale.En: Astrid stood up with a glass in hand and gave a heartfelt speech.Da: “Familie er det, der binder os sammen.En: “Family is what binds us together.Da: Vi står sammen i tykt og tyndt.” Ordene fik Jens og Kasper til at kigge på hinanden.En: We stand together through thick and thin.” The words made Jens and Kasper look at each other.Da: Jens satte sin telefon væk og sagde: "Jeg er ked af, jeg har været fjern.En: Jens put his phone away and said, "I'm sorry for being distant.Da: Det stopper i aften."En: That stops tonight."Da: Kasper tog en dyb indånding.En: Kasper took a deep breath.Da: "Og jeg vil sigte efter mine drømme, men jeg vil altid komme hjem."En: "And I will aim for my dreams, but I will always come home."Da: De talte åbent om deres frygt og drømme.En: They spoke openly about their fears and dreams.Da: Bordet blev fyldt med dybsindig samtale, smil og nye løfter.En: The table was filled with profound conversation, smiles, and new promises.Da: Astrid så på sine drenge med et lettet hjerte.En: Astrid looked at her boys with a relieved heart.Da: Hun havde skabt det øjeblik af samhørighed, hun ønskede så brændende.En: She had created the moment of togetherness she so dearly wished for.Da: Aftenen endte med latter og kærlige omfavnelser.En: The evening ended with laughter and loving embraces.Da: Udenfor blafrede stjernerne på den klare nattehimmel.En: Outside, the stars twinkled in the clear

In this episode, Brandy Gillmore helps a mother release parenting hurt and frustration, transform family dynamics, and understand how emotional patterns from parenting can be linked to physical pain. In today's powerful session, Brandy works with a beautiful volunteer named Jess — a very loving and devoted mother whose heart shines through. Jess loves her children deeply, yet like so many caring moms, she's been carrying the weight of perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, and the pressure to keep everyone's world running smoothly. When physical pain shows up, Brandy helps her uncover the emotional messages behind the symptoms. What follows is a heartfelt, eye-opening transformation in parenting, partnership, and healing long-standing family dynamics. Together, they explore: ✨ Why the body sends pain as a "check-engine-light" during emotional overload ✨ How childhood patterns of being controlled resurface in adult relationships and parenting ✨ The energetic difference between controlling your children vs. empowering them ✨ How to shift household dynamics without getting frustrated ✨ Why accountability (not pressure) helps kids grow confident and independent ✨ How frustration toward a partner can show up as physical symptoms This episode shows how quickly mind-body healing can happen when we shift the emotional patterns underneath stress, overwhelm, and physical symptoms. Jess's transformation is tender, relatable, and filled with insight — and her deep love for her family radiates through every moment. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, misunderstood, or responsible for making everything work, this episode will speak to your heart and open your mind to a new level of emotional freedom. You'll walk away with profound insights about healing, parenting, relationships, and the transformative power of mastering your mind and energy — for yourself and for the people you love most.

Send us a textWife Swap-Low-Demand Meets High-PressurePodcast Summary – Wife Swap S1 E4: “All is Ferret in Love and War”This week's Wife Swap gives us a crossover no one saw coming — Potomac meets Naples — as two moms from completely different worlds trade homes, rules, and chaos.In Potomac, Maryland, we meet Dr. Wendy Osefo (yes, that Wendy!) — mom to Karter (12), Kruz (10), and Kamrynn (5). Her home runs on tight Nigerian structure: early mornings, strict schedules, and prayers before bed. Even husband Eddie admits his job is “to follow Wendy's rules.”In Naples, Florida, free-spirited Althea Shapiro believes in “low-demand parenting.” Her kids — Hailey (19), Dylan (16), Shane (12), and Skyler (10) — pack their own lunches, play basketball in the living room, and have no bedtime. Her philosophy? No stress, no schedule, no problem.When the wives swap, culture shock hits fast.Wendy lands in a house with zero furniture, a ferret named Breck, and a husband working out of the laundry room.Althea walks into Wendy's spotless Potomac home — greeted by rules, routines, and Wendy's mom Susan, who immediately declares her lazy.Wendy tries to bring order to the Shapiro home — family dinners, no phones, bedtime at 9 — while Althea introduces crafts, paint, and chaos to the Osefo household. (There's red paint on the carpet, and Eddie is not having it.)But the emotional center of the episode comes from Hailey, Althea's oldest, who confides in Wendy that her mom used to be a Type-A supermom before moving to Florida — and that her younger siblings never got that same version of her. Wendy's empathy leads to a heartwarming connection between the two women later on.By swap's end, both families learn balance:Wendy admits she could use more flexibility and fun.Althea realizes her kids still need structure — and that Craig deserves more partnership at home.They part as friends (with one ruined carpet and a lot of perspective).Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Christina Chen, M.D. Alzheimer's Disease affects not only the patient but also has a significant impact on that patient's family. The family becomes stressed as emotional and physical burdens develop. The role of the primary care clinician in managing a patient with Alzheimer's is not only to care for the patient but also help and support families as they go through a very complex, emotional journey. Today's podcast will cover the changes in family dynamics which commonly occur in Alzheimer's Disease including caregiver burden, legal decisions which need to be made, and difficult ethical choices which will be made as the disease progresses. What are some common sources of conflict within families as they care for their loved one with Alzheimer's? What can we do as a clinician to help families through this difficult journey? How do we approach a situation where there's disagreement in the family regarding management? These are some of the questions I'll be asking my guest, Christina Chen, M.D., an internist and geriatrician in the Division of Community Internal Medicine at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Alzheimer's Disease and Family Dynamics”.

In today's episode, I'm talking about boundaries that grow capacity. Many of us grew up believing we were responsible for everyone else's emotions. We learned to stay quiet, stay polite, and keep everyone happy. Unfortunately, those patterns often show up later as burnout, resentment, or the quiet ache of always being available for everyone but ourselves.Boundaries don't have to mean permanence or walls that never come down; they're more like fences with gates. Boundaries that grow capacity can be uncomfortable at first, but over time, that discomfort turns into peace and regrowth.In this episode, I cover:How to recognize when your body is signaling the need for a boundaryWhy so many of us were conditioned to feel responsible for other people's emotionsHow guilt, burnout & resentment often show up when boundaries are missingThe difference between compassion and carrying someone else's emotional loadWhy boundaries are more like fences with gates than walls or distanceHow boundaries help grow your capacity + protect your energyThe connection between boundaries & healing (for you and your loved ones) Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

In this episode of The Modern Man Podcast, host Ted Phaeton engages with Rick Walker, author of 'Nine Steps to Build a Life of Meaning.' They discuss the importance of family, the challenges young men face today, and the necessity of embracing failure as a pathway to growth. Rick shares practical advice for daily improvement, the value of reading old books, and how facing fears can lead to personal development. The conversation emphasizes the significance of community, accountability, and the pursuit of a meaningful life. Takeaways Too many men are winning on paper, but losing themselves. The most important thing we do is who we raise. Life is merely a string of failures with occasional moments of perfection. Pain ultimately becomes the only pathway to joy. The purpose of a good man is to invade the evil that he sees around him. The two shall become one, it doesn't say that you stop being one flesh. The thing that you least want to do is the thing you most need to do next. If you don't know what you want, find out what you don't want to exist. The older the sage, the quicker the solution. If one man's done it, another man can do it.
