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!

And they aren't always respectful or constructive.

Join us as we hear how Stacy transformed her sensitivity and empathy into strengths, reclaiming her voice and inspiring others to break the silence around abuse. Her contributions to the "Breaking the Silence: Voices of Survivors" project serve as a beacon of hope for anyone seeking to embrace their inner strength.Through powerful personal stories and discussion, this episode underscores the essential journey from victim mentality to reclaiming personal power and self-esteem. We discuss setting healthy boundaries and maintaining effective communication while staying true to oneself. Stacy introduces us to the Wise Woman Community, a space inspired by Proverbs 14:1, dedicated to fostering connections among women. The conversation culminates with insights on manifesting a healthy relationship through personal growth and spiritual connection. With heartfelt stories of resilience and gratitude, we explore the hard work and commitment required to build rewarding partnerships founded on mutual respect and shared values.Gemma's Gem is a reader-supported publication.

This post is public so feel free to share it.Chapters(00:00:02) - Finding Strength After Abuse (11 Minutes)This chapter introduces Stacy Peasall, a survivor of sexual abuse and domestic violence, who now works as a faith-based women's relationship coach. We explore Stacy's journey from being an 18-year-old, eager to pursue a career in fashion, to becoming a victim due to naivety and misplaced trust in older individuals. Stacy reflects on the societal norms that discouraged her from listening to her intuition, leading to traumatic experiences. She discusses the transformative moment when she finally trusted her inner voice, recognizing her sensitivity and empathetic nature as strengths rather than weaknesses. Additionally, Stacy is part of a collaborative project called "Breaking the Silence: Voices of Survivors," where she contributes her story to inspire others. Through her work, Stacy empowers women to reclaim their voices and embrace their inner strength.(00:10:58) - Breaking the Silence on Abuse (16 Minutes)This chapter explores the transformative journey of reclaiming personal power and self-esteem by moving beyond a victim mentality and taking personal responsibility. Through personal development and growth, I emphasize the importance of setting healthy boundaries and effective communication without losing one's true self. 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!

In the fourth and final message of our Welcome Home series, Pastor Mel walks us through three of Summit's core values: radical generosity, healthy relationships, and freedom. God is radically generous and we want the world to see that in how we live and give. When we put God first in our lives, everything else falls into order. We're committed to loving others sacrificially and resolving conflict biblically. We believe in experiencing the abundant and victorious life that only Christ can give. Mel explains how each of these core values depends on Christ's greatest commandment: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." Anything we exalt above biblical truth becomes idolatry which corrupts us and prevents us from embodying these values each day.

Dating in midlife isn't for the faint of heart. Maybe your marriage or a long-term relationship ended, you've healed, and now you're ready to date again—only to ride a rollercoaster of hope, disappointment, or those “fetal position on your bed” moments we don't always admit. But what if dating wasn't about forcing it or giving up—what if it was about trusting yourself, slowing down, and staying rooted in your worth? In this episode, I'm joined by Heidi Friedman—an accomplished attorney, writer, and debut author of Love Lessons. After surviving 104 dates (yes, you read that right), Heidi found her “do-over”—a healthy relationship built on mutual respect, care, and real connection. Her journey from single mom to thriving in love is both relatable and inspiring.We dive into the emotional reality of dating in midlife—what it takes to stay intentional, hold clear relationship expectations, why “don't settle” isn't just a slogan, and how to hold onto hope when you're a single mom dating. You'll learn:If the 104 dates were worth itWhy “don't settle” isn't just a catchphrase and how to embody itHow to approach dating as a path to growth, not just a goalThe mindset shift that kept Heidi open to loveWhat intentional dating looks like in practiceThe emotional toll dating can have and how to return to yourselfWhat emotional self-care looks like when dating feels discouragingHow self-work strengthens you for your future partnerIf you've ever wondered whether love is still possible for you, this conversation proves that it is—and that it can feel better, deeper, and more aligned than ever. Whether you're hopeful, healing, or exhausted by dating, this episode will remind you: you deserve love that feels like home. Cheers to finding love,LaurieClick here for a video on how to leave a review to receive a free somatic stabilization/grounding exercise.

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

Do you ever wonder why you still feel triggered, even in a healthy relationship? In this live episode of Codependency Alchemy, I share what I've been navigating with my partner around boundaries, conflict, and the uncomfortable truth that our partners can't always meet us the way we want. We explore what to do when one person needs space and the other wants resolution now, why codependency pulls us toward fawning, and how to use inner child healing to find safety in yourself instead of demanding it from someone else.This episode is for you if:* You feel activated even in a good relationship and don't know why.* You and your partner want opposite things in conflict (space vs. talk now).* You tend to shut down, over-explain, or fawn to avoid tension.* You're ready to learn practices that bring compassion and clarity to your triggers.I wish someone would have told me that triggers aren't proof your relationship is broken, but that they're invitations. Every time you're activated, your nervous system is pointing to an old story: I'm not safe, I'm not loved, I'm on my own. What if instead of demanding your partner to fix it, we asked ourselves: what part of me is being reactivated, and how can I meet that need myself? The moment you start giving yourself the safety, love, or validation you're seeking, your triggers shift from enemies to guides.

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.

Hey y'all ! Welcome to another Friday with CWCOI ! In this week's episode, our host, Ally Yost talks about what a healthy relationship is. Whether it's a romantic or platonic relationship, the only way it can be healthy is when God is at the center of it. "For jealousy and selfishness are not God's kind of wisdom.

Hey y'all ! Welcome to another Friday with CWCOI ! In this week's episode, our host, Ally Yost talks about what a healthy relationship is. Whether it's a romantic or platonic relationship, the only way it can be healthy is when God is at the center of it. "For jealousy and selfishness are not God's kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind."
