You're listening to voices of your village. And today I'm joined by my incredible friend Dr. Tracy. She is a clinical psychologist, couples therapist, and author of the new book, You, Your Husband and His Mother. This was such a fun conversation. We got honest and had just compassionate conversation about what it looks like to show up as both a partner and a parent, while also navigating those tricky extended family dynamics. We dug into the challenges so many of us face with in-laws, with our own parents, and how setting boundaries can actually create more connection, not less. We talked about the pressure to be everything to everyone, and how tuning in to your own needs and voice is a game changer for your relationship, your parenting, and your peace. I loved getting to connect with Tracy, not just as a professional, but as two humans sharing this season of life. All right, folks, let's dive in.

How our childhood wounds and learned protection patterns quietly shape the way we connect, communicate, and handle conflict. Lilly invites listeners to bring awareness, self-responsibility, and practical action to their relationships, one small daily choice at a time.If you have ever felt your relationship slipping into the roommate rut, or you are single but longing to understand how to create long term love, this is where your transformation begins.Connect with Lilly on Instagram @lillyrachels and on Substack at www.lillyrachels.com.

Dr. Caroline Fleck shares with Gabby Reece the #1 communication skill from psychology (DBT) you need to master: VALIDATION. Learn how this essential relationship tool will transform your marriage, parenting, and friendships. The psychologist & author of Validation breaks down the exact steps to build deep connection, manage conflict, and achieve emotional regulation. In this powerful episode of The Gabby Reece Show, host Gabby Reece and Dr. Caroline Fleck, a clinical psychologist and author of the book Validation: How the skillset that revolutionized psychology will transform your relationship, increase your influence, and change your life, discuss the profound impact of true validation. Validation is more than just listening or feeling empathy; it is a communication skill that must be mastered to truly convey understanding and acceptance. Dr. Fleck reveals why this essential skill is typically only taught in advanced doctoral psychology programs (Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT) and how you can apply it to your everyday life to build stronger bonds and reduce conflict. Key Takeaways You'll Learn: The crucial difference between "problem-solving" and "validation" in real-life scenarios, especially with children. The six levels of validation (the "validation ladder") and how to use them to instantly improve your communication. Practical strategies for managing intense emotions and conflict using DBT's TIP skills (Temperature, Intense Exercise, Paced Breathing). The power of a genuine apology, even as a parent, to model the behavior you want your kids to learn. How to disclose your own experience to connect without overshadowing the other person's pain (the "flip it back" technique). Don't miss these evidence-based strategies for better communication and personal transformation!

Hey there, hero!The audience is listening (and watching and reading). And social media and review sites allow them to criticize, rate and review your artwork.And there are always outspoken members of the audience who have things to say. And they aren't always respectful or constructive. Sometimes, they are downright aiming to hurt you.I have my own approach to ratings and reviews - I pick and choose the reviews I pay attention to (the positive reviews) and the ones I ignore (the negative reviews). And…I don't do work for the audience at all.Mark Manson said something recently that encapsulates a similar sentiment that I think is healthy for us all as artists.Let's discuss.

The conversation highlights the creation of the Wise Woman Community, inspired by Proverbs 14:1, as a supportive space for women to connect and share experiences. By breaking the silence around abuse and understanding the detrimental effects of unhealed trauma, we underscore the necessity of healing and building a strong spiritual foundation. This foundation, in turn, enables individuals to attract and maintain healthy relationships.(00:27:11) - Manifesting a Healthy Relationship (1 Minutes)This chapter explores the journey towards a fulfilling marriage by emphasizing the importance of personal growth and spiritual connection. We discuss the idea of not giving up on marriage and the significance of staying committed until the end. A guest shares her personal story of how, after working on herself and strengthening her vertical connection with her faith, she was able to attract a loving and respectful partner who shares her Christian values. We highlight the miracle and blessing of such a relationship, acknowledging that it requires both partners to have strong individual connections with their faith, which in turn solidifies their horizontal relationship. The conversation concludes with expressions of gratitude and acknowledgment of the hard work that goes into achieving such a rewarding partnership.KeywordsAbuse, Empowerment, Survivor, Relationships, Faith, Boundaries, Communication, Personal Growth, Spiritual Connection, Healing, Trauma, Marriage, Commitment, Christian Values, Gratitude, Resilience, Strength, Intuition, Sensitivity, Wise Woman CommunityGemma's Gem is a reader-supported publication.

She is passionate about helping young girls and women overcome an unhealthy relationship with food after spending years of her own life stuck in the mental prison that is disordered eating. Her education in the field began in her undergraduate years at Vanderbilt University, where she studied eating psychology and nutrition. During that time, she was also certified in the National Eating Disorder Awareness foundation's Body Project certification program to support women's relationships with their bodies.Her interests progressed into physique and performance evidence-based training and nutrition while maintaining a positive relationship with food and one's body (certifications through NASM). Her coaching centers on getting women out of the rut of under-fueling and over-training, out of the yo-yo cycle, and out of the mystery of how to fuel one's body (blocking out all the noise out there!) while building a positive outlook towards nutrition.Sophie also supports her clients who are interested in gut and hormone health. Her interest in this field started from her own experience with IBS, acne, and painful/irregular periods that she wanted to support holistically. Her approach to hormonal support and gut health focuses heavily on evidence-based lifestyle and nutrition approaches rather than excessive supplementation and overly restrictive methods. Some conditions Sophie works with include: IBS, IBD, bloating/indigestion, dysmenorrhea, PCOS, PMS, low thyroid, and chronic stress/fatigue. Please note, Sophie is not a medical professional and provides holistic support for these conditions within her scope of practice; please consult a medical professional for these conditions first.Outside of coaching, Sophie is an animal-lover and enjoys spending her free time riding her horse and hiking with her pup. She has traveled and lived abroad extensively and loves getting to enjoy cuisines from all over the world. She loves spending time getting stronger in the gym, giving it her all at trivia nights, and exploring her home base in Nashville.  See links below to follow Sophie and learn more about working with her:https://biolayne.com/coach/sophie-gervais/IG @asophiesticatedlife___Disclaimer: The content of this podcast is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Send us a textWhen you've lived through emotional abuse, the very idea of a healthy, loving relationship can feel like a fantasy. Maybe you've never experienced respect, true friendship, or kindness in a partner. Maybe you've been told—through words or through wounds—that love is supposed to be hard, painful, or disappointing. And maybe you secretly believe that happy marriages are reserved for other people, not for you.That's exactly why I invited Michelle W. Lentz, author of Hey Beginner Wife, onto the podcast. In our conversation, Michelle shares how seeing herself as a “beginner” allowed her to give herself grace as a wife and grow into a marriage built on nearly four decades of trust, respect, and friendship. Together, we unpack what these qualities really look like in a healthy marriage—and how they stand in sharp contrast to the confusion and chaos of abuse.This episode isn't about sugarcoating relationships. It's about hope. It's about proof that love rooted in respect and safety is real, and it's possible—even if you've never known it before. And Michelle leaves us with a special nugget of truth at the end that I know will stay with you long after the episode is over.If you've ever felt jaded, broken, or too damaged to hope again, this conversation is your reminder: the kind of love you long for does exist—and you are worthy of it.  Michelle Lentz graduated from UCLA with a degree in English Literature. Using her happy marriage of nearly 40 years as an example, she writes to inspire women to learn from her mistakes, love their husbands well and enjoy marriage. When she's not cheering on her husband Steve, their six grown children and a growing troop of delightful grandchildren, she's curled up with a good book, pursuing a deep conversation, or looking forward to the next wedding so she can hit the dance floor.

Kathryn talks with Natasha Kostalas, author of Beyond the Barbell: Confessions of a Female Fitness Competitor, about her journey of overcoming binge eating that was fueled by competing in bodybuilding. Natasha shares how the intense restriction of competition prep led to a loss of control around food, and how binge eating often becomes a hidden aftermath in extreme fitness. She speaks openly about the harm this caused and how she eventually found a healthier relationship with food, her body, and training. This conversation is relevant not only for the bodybuilding community but for anyone struggling with bingeing.

This is an issue I see time and time again, and that's why in this new podcast series, I'm addressing one of the most important topics in business, the relationship you have with your finances. Whether it's understanding your profit and loss statements, hiring a bookkeeper, or simply getting clear on what you're actually taking home each month, knowing your numbers is essential. Without this clarity, it's impossible to make wise decisions about how to use, invest, or grow your income. It's time to stop avoiding this part of your business. Instead, let's get comfortable with your numbers so you can steward your resources well and set yourself up for long-term success. Important Links: Register for my Live Event!

Today's episode is packed with wisdom that will change the way you think about love, connection, and how you show up in your relationships.I'm breaking down the habits of securely attached people so that you can begin embodying them in your own life. Because here's the truth: secure attachment is not luck, and it's not something you either have or don't have. It's about intentionally healing, rewiring, and building new habits that create lasting love.Inside the episode, I talk about:✨ Radical ownership of your healing journey - why waiting for the “right person” isn't the answer, and how secure people take full responsibility for how they show up.✨ Emotional regulation over reactivity - how securely attached people slow down, check in with themselves, and respond intentionally (instead of letting emotions run the show).✨ Valuing and prioritizing relationships - why secure people play the long game, invest in reciprocity, and make connection a priority in a world full of “pseudo-connection.”If you've ever wondered what secure love really looks like in action, you'll want to listen closely and maybe even take notes on this one

This week we're exploring the dark masculine  a side of the masculine that most of us have never been shown, yet is essential for true intimacy, polarity, and healing.   I sat down with Adeyemi, a men's coach and wisdom-keeper, whose journey has taken him from Nigeria to Germany, through deep struggles, plant medicine work, and ultimately into his mission of helping men reclaim their power. In our conversation, we opened up about shame, sexuality, and what it really takes for men to hold both their light and their shadow without rejecting any part of themselves.   Together, we explored:

Will shares his journey from achieving external success while feeling internally miserable to discovering the profound connection between emotional healing and sexual satisfaction. He breaks down his six fundamental emotions framework and explains why "You're not getting angry because you're tough—you're getting angry because you feel weak," a revelation that changed how he approached both therapy and intimacy. Through candid stories about religious sexual shame and the universal male experience of measuring penis size with a ruler, Will demonstrates how vulnerability can actually increase attraction. The conversation tackles why less than 5% of therapy clients discuss sex directly, how working on general insecurities often improves bedroom experiences more than focusing on sex itself, and practical steps for finding partners who can hold space for authentic emotional expression.
