Are we expecting too much from our jobs - and is it costing us our health, relationships and happiness?   This week I'm delighted to welcome back someone who is regarded as one of the most insightful and original voices on modern relationships, the psychotherapist Esther Perel. Fluent in nine languages, Esther has her own therapy practice in New York City, serves as an organisational consultant for multiple Fortune 500 companies and is ALSO the author of the New York Times Bestselling books, ‘Mating in Captivity' and ‘The State of Affairs'.   Although Esther is probably best known for her teachings and wisdom on our romantic relationships, more recently she has turned her attention to our work relationships. The occasion for this appearance on my podcast is to celebrate the release of her brand new 100-question card game designed to transform your work culture – one story and one relationship at a time.   In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore how our expectations of the workplace have shifted dramatically – and why it's creating both opportunity and strain. Esther shares that in the past, work was primarily about survival, duty and financial stability. But today, many of us are looking to our jobs to provide identity, belonging, fulfilment and even self-worth.   We discuss: Esther's four key pillars of healthy workplace relationships – trust, belonging, recognition and collective resilience – and why these needs mirror those in our romantic lives How unresolved workplace issues can lead to emotional exhaustion, poor health choices and a reduced capacity to connect at home How our increasingly digital lives are reducing the everyday social skills we need to connect, communicate and collaborate How our personal relationship history – our “unofficial CV” – shows up at work and influences how we handle authority, conflict, feedback and boundaries Why managing conflict well can deepen connection – and how curiosity and honest self-reflection can transform how we show up in all areas of life  Throughout our conversation, Esther offers compassion and clarity, breaking down complex emotional patterns into simple, human truths we can all relate to – and, most importantly, act on.    She encourages us to approach work relationships not as transactional, but as relational, inviting us to bring the same level of curiosity, empathy, and accountability that we would bring to any meaningful connection.   At a time when so many of us are feeling isolated or overwhelmed, Esther's advice shows that even small shifts in how we relate, listen and respond can spark meaningful change at work, with our families and ourselves.

Get your FREE lesson pdf here: https://speakingbrazilian.kit.com/340_70_expressions Today you're going to learn Portuguese in a super fun way! Let's see if you can understand “piadas” (jokes) in Brazilian Portuguese. Understanding jokes in a foreign language is one of the hardest things because you need to understand vocabulary, nuance, cultural references, and wordplay or puns. But don't worry! I selected simple jokes for our lesson today. These are jokes that would be considered “dad jokes.” In Brazil, we say they're “piadas de tio” (uncle jokes). I chose seven jokes for this lesson. These jokes only make sense in Portuguese. If you translate them into another language, they probably won't make any sense at all. I'm going to start with the easiest ones and leave the hardest ones for the end. If you understand the last joke, that means your Portuguese is excellent! Maybe you're Brazilian and don't even know it! Will you find these jokes funny? Let's see! Give this episode a listen to have some fun with me telling these jokes! I'm really bad at telling jokes, but I had a lot of fun recording this video. I hope it makes you smile.

In this video, I discuss the importance of acquiring low-frequency vocabulary and share my approach to learning less common words.

When you think of St. Patrick, what comes to mind—green beer, shamrocks, and leprechauns? The real story of Patrick of Ireland is far more powerful and inspiring. In this special bonus episode, Pastor Jeff steps away from our denominational series to share the true history of St. Patrick, the man who brought Christianity to Ireland and left a lasting legacy of faith.Here's What We Discussed:01:35 – The Origins of St. Patrick's Day Each year, millions gather to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, often unaware of the man behind the holiday. From Savannah's large-scale parade to Chicago's tradition of dyeing the river green, the day is widely recognized, yet few know the historical and spiritual significance.03:18 – St. Patrick Wasn't IrishBorn around 373 AD, likely in Britain or possibly near Glasgow, Scotland, Patrick was not Irish. Captured by pirates at age 16, he was sold into slavery to an Irish chieftain, where he spent years tending sheep and witnessing the brutal pagan culture of the time.05:55 – A Spiritual Awakening in CaptivityDuring six years of enslavement, Patrick experienced a profound spiritual transformation. Through prayer and suffering, his faith deepened, leading him to eventually commit his life to Christ. His own writings record how adversity brought him to his knees before God.08:52 – Escape and the Call to ReturnAfter escaping captivity, Patrick found refuge in France, where he entered a monastery and took the Latin name "Patricus." Years later, he experienced a divine call to return to Ireland—not as a captive, but as a missionary to the very people who had enslaved him.10:36 – A Missionary to IrelandPatrick spent nearly 29 years preaching the gospel across Ireland. Fluent in the Irish language, he baptized over 120,000 people and established more than 300 churches, leading a spiritual transformation that turned a pagan nation toward Christianity.11:55 – Legends: Snakes and ShamrocksAmong the legends surrounding St. Patrick is the claim that he drove all the snakes out of Ireland—though this is likely symbolic, representing his battle against paganism. Another enduring story tells of Patrick using a three-leaf clover to explain the Christian doctrine of the Trinity to a skeptical king.13:12 – St. Patrick's Breastplate PrayerBefore facing his enemies, Patrick prayed for divine protection. His prayer, known as “St. Patrick's Breastplate,” remains a powerful expression of faith, invoking Christ's presence in every aspect of life—from the moment of rising to every encounter with others.We love your feedback!
