In today's episode, Elaina Efird, Registered Dietitian and Eating Disorder Specialist, joins us to help clarify the fine line between disordered eating behaviors and clinically diagnosed eating disorders. She explains how the level of obsession and obsessive behaviors with food, weight, and body image can be a key indicator, emphasizing the importance of recognizing early signs of unhealthy patterns, and we touch on the growing awareness of conditions like Orthorexia, which can still be incredibly harmful, while not formally diagnosed.We also explore how societal pressure and social media contribute to disordered eating behaviors, and the importance of fostering healthy relationships with food, both for ourselves and for the next generation. Elaina shares practical tips on mindful eating practices and how to prioritize health-focused behaviors over pure aesthetics.We discuss fostering healthy eating behaviors in children from a young age, and honoring children's natural hunger and fullness cues, rather than forcing them to finish their plates, which can disrupt their innate ability to regulate food intake. We chat about how establishing boundaries around mealtimes, encouraging mindful eating, and creating consistent family rituals can set a strong foundation for a positive relationship with food. By modeling healthy behaviors and avoiding restrictive food practices, parents can help prevent future disordered eating patterns in their kids.“We need to shift the focus away from how our bodies look and towards the behaviors that truly define health—eating well, moving in ways we enjoy, and managing stress.”- Elaina Efird, RD“Hunger and fullness cues are innate cues since birth. We, as adults, have learned how to ignore them.”- Elaina Efird, RDThis week on Capable & Worthy:Eating disorders vs disordered behaviorsSocietal pressure to avoid fatness fuels disordered eatingProfessional help should be sought early when food obsession negatively impacts lifeEarly recognition and professional support can prevent the progression from disordered eating to a full-blown eating disorderSetting boundaries around food behaviors, especially with children, fosters a healthy relationship with eatingMindful eating practices like focusing on your five senses can help reconnect with your body's cuesKids often have a natural sense of hunger and fullness—trust them, and avoid forcing them to clean their platesTeaching children to sit down for meals and focus on their food helps build lifelong mindful eating habitsRole-modeling a positive relationship with food and not restricting certain foods can prevent children from developing secretive or binge behaviors later in lifeConnect with Elaina Efird, RD:Elaina Efird, RD on InstagramEfird NutritionThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Capable & Worthy: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

He called her every week, but it was weather talk and neighbor complaints, never anything real. Gary John Bishop thought working hard was the same thing as loving someone. It wasn't. He was a provider, not a partner. Then at 40, he picked up the phone, apologized for judging how she raised him, and said the words out loud for the first time in decades. His mom went silent. Then she said it back. He hung up and called his three older sisters next. They had no idea what hit them. This is the moment that cracked him open and changed how he loves his wife, his family, everyone.

It's safe to say that most of us love to train, it's our passion, our lifestyle, even - our addiction. However if we don't approach our training with respect, logic and a level of physiological understanding we can quickly find ourselves walking a dangerous path. Today Kriss reminds us that even though we want to push our bodies capabilities and see how far, how fast or how much we can go, we have to make sure that we balance this conscientiously.

What does it actually take to build healthy relationships? In this Therapy Thursdays episode, John Kim answers some of the most common questions about love, healing, attachment, and personal growth. From redefining what it means to fall in love to understanding why peace is something you give yourself - not something you find - this episode explores the inner work that shapes the way we connect with others. John shares practical insights on anxious attachment, healing after toxic relationships, rupture and repair, emotional safety, and why the healthiest relationships are built through daily choices rather than fleeting feelings. He also explores the importance of studying yourself, accepting impermanence, and living a "through me" life instead of feeling like life is happening to you. In this episode: • Why peace is something you can give yourself • What it means to live a "through me" life • Why self-help is really the lifelong study of self • How fear of impermanence fuels suffering • The qualities that should never be negotiable in relationships • The difference between falling in love and choosing to love • Signs you're in a healthy, secure relationship • Whether emotional attraction alone is enough • Why every relationship requires rupture and repair • Understanding anxious attachment when you're apart from your partner • How healthy relationships can help support emotional healing • What your nervous system needs after a toxic relationship • Two questions that can help guide your life and relationships

When you hear the word gentleness, what comes to mind? If you're anything like me, you may think of someone who is quiet, passive, or soft-spoken. But what if we've misunderstood biblical gentleness all along? This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of talking with Christie Thomas, author of Everyday Prayers for Gentleness. As fellow authors in the Everyday Prayers series through Million Praying Moms, we share a passion for helping women become more like Jesus through the power of prayer. Christie reminded me that gentleness isn't weakness at all—it's Spirit-empowered strength. In our conversation, we discussed: • Why gentleness is one of the most countercultural fruits of the Spirit.• How Jesus perfectly modeled both strength and tenderness.• Practical ways to respond with gentleness in marriage, parenting, friendships, church relationships, and even online.• How choosing gentleness can transform the atmosphere of your home and point others to the heart of Christ. One statement Christie shared has stayed with me: "Jesus is never just the Lion, and He's never just the Lamb. He's always both." What a beautiful picture of the kind of strength God wants to cultivate in us. If you've been feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or quick to react lately, I think this conversation will encourage you. It reminded me that the strongest people aren't always the loudest—they're often the ones most surrendered to the Holy Spirit. I hope you'll take a few moments to listen. My prayer is that God will use this conversation to help all of us become women whose words, attitudes, and actions reflect the gentle heart of Jesus.

Send us Fan MailHealthy relationships don't happen by accident.They are built on trust, respect, honest communication, and the freedom for both people to be fully themselves.Unfortunately, not every relationship is built on those foundations. Sometimes, unhealthy dynamics develop so gradually that we don't recognize the warning signs until we're deeply entangled. And when children are involved, the stakes become even higher.In this conversation, we explore why communication is the foundation of every healthy relationship, the red flags that can signal emotional abuse or coercive control, and the green flags that create safety, trust, and mutual respect. We also talk about the importance of modeling healthy relationships for our children.My guest, Lisa Johnson, is a high-conflict divorce strategist, certified domestic violence advocate, and educator. Her own journey through a lengthy and emotionally exhausting divorce transformed her into a passionate advocate for others navigating similar circumstances as the co-founder of the platform Been There Got Out.But what struck me most about our conversation is Lisa's deep understanding of relationships.Whether you're in a relationship, supporting someone who is, or simply want to become a better communicator or a better partner, I believe you'll find wisdom, hope, and practical insights in this episode.Please enjoy my conversation with Lisa Johnson.CONNECT WITH LISA: Website: https://beentheregotout.com/Instagram: @been_there_got_out/YouTube: @BeenThereGotOutDownload my FREE eBook: A Weekend of Feeling GreatIf you enjoyed this episode, please FOLLOW, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE!! Rates and reviews help the message get to more people!

F.L.Y. (First Love Yourself): Healthy Relationships, Belonging & the Health of Our Lives by WNHH Community Radio

Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling manipulated or wondered if you've unknowingly done the same? I know I have. In this episode, we're taking an honest look at what manipulation really is, why even well-meaning people fall into it, and how fear, pride, impatience, and unmet needs can quietly shape the way we relate to others. I'll share practical ways to recognize unhealthy patterns, communicate with honesty instead of control, and trust God with the outcomes we can't manage ourselves. My prayer is that you'll leave feeling more free, more self-aware, and better equipped to build healthier relationships.

Tired of the constant mental chatter? Feeling drained by unresolved issues and endless to-do lists? You're a high-performer, always striving for excellence. But that drive often comes with a hidden cost: a mind full of "open loops" – those nagging thoughts, unfinished tasks, and unresolved conflicts that silently steal your energy. In this powerful discussion, we dive deep into the concept of neutrality – not as indifference, but as a strategic superpower for the exhausted high-achiever. Discover how embracing neutrality can help you: Stop the energy drain: Learn to identify and close those "open loops" that keep you mentally busy and emotionally depleted. Navigate conflict with calm: Instead of reacting and escalating, find your "defining moment" to manage situations with steady, anchored presence, even when things matter deeply. Reclaim your peace and sanity: Understand how to pause, gain clarity, and avoid the knee-jerk reactions that lead to bigger problems and deeper exhaustion. Transform relationships: Discover how a neutral stance can foster understanding, prevent damage, and create space for genuine repair, even in your most challenging interactions. Unlock more solutions: See how stepping back from immediate judgment and reaction opens up a world of possibilities and empowers you to find more effective outcomes. We'll explore practical strategies like: Noticing the "surge": Identifying what triggers your emotional reactions. Questioning your "story": Challenging your ingrained beliefs about situations and people. Asking for clarity: Slowing down conversations to truly understand, rather than assume. "Eating your popcorn": Observing situations without getting emotionally entangled. If you're ready to move beyond constant reaction and cultivate a powerful inner calm that fuels your performance without burning you out, this video is for you. Learn how to be present, hear clearly, and manage yourself so you don't "give up your sanity or your peace." Don't let open loops dictate your energy. Tap into the power of neutrality and reclaim your focus, peace, and effectiveness. If this resonated, there's probably an open loop of your own worth closing. My free Close the Loop tool walks you through it in about 15 minutes — a gentle place to start.

We often talk about self-care, but what is the connection between our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being and the health of our relationships? When was the last time you made an honest assessment of your personal relationship with your husband, wife or significant other? Back by popular demand, behavioral and relationship expert Dr. Alvean Lyons joins cardiologist, Dr. Keith Newby, for a frank conversation about healthy relationships and what to do if yours needs help.

Most couples don't wake up one morning and decide to disconnect. There isn't usually a huge betrayal. No dramatic ending. No single moment where everything falls apart. Instead, it happens quietly. Through busy schedules. Work. Parenting. Phones. Responsibilities. Stress. Life simply takes over. And little by little, connection gets pushed to the bottom of the list until one day couples find themselves saying: "We love each other… but we don't really feel connected anymore."   In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we explore why so many loving couples slowly drift apart, how roommate mode quietly replaces intimacy, and what it takes to consciously reconnect before the distance grows too wide.   What You'll Hear in This Episode: How couples slowly drift apart without even realizing it's happening Why being busy can sometimes become a form of avoidance How relationships shift from lovers to teammates, co-managers, and roommates Why being together all day isn't the same as feeling connected How comfort, routine, and predictability slowly replace playfulness and intimacy What healthy relationships actually require to stay connected over time Why stepping out of survival mode changes everything   Most couples don't fall out of love overnight. They slowly stop prioritizing connection underneath the weight of everyday life. The wonderful news? Connection can be rebuilt. Intimacy can return. And relationships can feel deeply alive again when couples consciously slow down, communicate honestly, and choose each other over and over again.

Are You in a "Healthy Relationship"… or Just Really Good at Ignoring Red Flags?

Nobody wants to be in the position of needing to forgive another person for harming them. It's unsettling to feel angry or to realize we hurt someone. It's worth the effort because forgiveness  brings healing to us and others. ​Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi talk about the "hidden blessing" of forgiveness. Learning to prayerfully walk through the process of forgiving others helps you go deeper into the grace and truth Jesus offers. You'll be empowered to overflow with God's empathy for everyone — even those who have mistreated you.

You have friends… so why do you still feel lonely? Friendships are more important than ever in adulthood, but they become increasingly hard to make and maintain. But we're in a real loneliness epidemic where most adults feel unseen, alone, and disconnected *even though* they have lots of connections in their lives. The real reason no one's talking about? The “depth gap” that keeps us from being truly vulnerable and connected. Because the problem isn't always that we need more friends… it's that we don't feel known by the people in our lives. In this episode, we're diving into the psychology of modern friendship with psychologist Dr. Elisabeth Crain. From attachment styles and friendship patterns to reciprocity, resentment, and friendship breakups, this interview is a roadmap for healthier, more fulfilling friendships. Tune in to hear: • Why adult friendships are harder to build and maintain  • The "Depth Gap" and why loneliness is often a quality issue, not a quantity issue • How fear of vulnerability and rejection impact intimacy • Attachment styles in friendships • Understanding your friendship blueprint and relationship patterns • Fast-burn versus slow-burn friendships… why pacing matters • Managing reciprocity, imbalance and resentment • The importance of healthy criticism • Tuning into your body's reaction to people  • The art of discernment in picking the right friendships • Why friendships fracture in adulthood Follow Dr. Elisabeth Crain: https://www.drelisabethcrain.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.elisabeth.crain  Subscribe to my Substack:teachmehowtoadult.substack.comFollow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultmedia@gillian.bernerFollow on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadultSubscribe on YouTube

Many of us have learned that forgiveness includes minimizing hurt or making superficial reconciliation. These misunderstandings hinder us from stepping into the freedom we long for. Yet the Bible paints a more holistic picture of forgiveness that helps us trust Jesus with our emotions and follow him into relational wisdom. ​Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi bring helpful clarity to what forgiveness is and is not. You'll find the courage to surrender outcomes of conflict to Jesus and experience the settledness of releasing those who hurt you into his hands.

We would all prefer to enjoy healthy, positive relationships in our homes, workplaces, and churches. But sadly, that isn't always the case. So what can we do? On this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro shares how to bring the virtues of Jesus Christ into our relationships and live as a blessing to others.

Harsh and abusive rhetoric has become common in today's world. And we see how words have tremendous power to wound, and divide. On this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro is encouraging us to put away all forms of destructive speech as we put on the virtues of Christ.

When comparing toxic relationships vs. healthy relationships, there are many differences. Boundaries are handled differently. Reciprocity is one-way in one and two-way in the other. One has mutual understanding; the other doesn't. Only one has mutual goodwill and cooperation.  Another difference is how ruptures and repairs are handled. All relationships have conflict and disagreements. All relationships have ups and downs, but not all know how to fix those issues and heal the wounds. Knowing how to recognize the differences can help you identify dysfunctional, toxic relationships, adjust your expectations, and plan your response. All of these strategies will help you make decisions to protect yourself now and in the future. Toxic and healthy relationships have ruptures, but only healthy ones have repairs. Watch this video to get insight into how to identify toxic people and healthy people in the way they handle this difference.    Karla Downing's passion is to see individuals, marriages, and families set free from dysfunction, scriptural misunderstanding, and emotional pain personally and relationally. Her Christian relationship advice includes messages, books, and classes that provide practical solutions grounded in biblical truths, bringing balance and clarity to life and relationship issues. She also desires to equip ministry leaders and counselors to reach out more effectively to those struggling with difficult relationships, including abuse.  #toxicrelationships  #toxicpeople #christianrelationshipadvice #dysfunctionalrelationship #conflict #healthyrelationship    Website: https://www.changemyrelationship.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMyRelationship YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@changemyrelationship Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/whZtxafdOdY  

What Is an Education Anyway — And Who Gets to Decide? Forget every notion you have been told about what an education is. I want to ask you something I ask every single woman I work with in coaching. What do you believe an education is? And the second question — the one that tends to stop people cold: What did you believe an education was before you started homeschooling? Most of us never actually chose our definition of education. We absorbed it. From school, from our parents, from the culture around us. And then we built an entire homeschool on top of it. And then we wondered why it felt so heavy. And if you’re just starting out and wondering where to begin — I made something for exactly that. The 7-Day Confident Homeschool Roadmap is a free guide that walks you through your first year with clarity rather than overwhelm. Grab it below. Get your free 7-Day Confident Homeschool Mom Roadmap What Is an Education Anyway? The Definition Most of Us Inherited If you grew up in a conventional school system, your working definition probably sounds something like this: Education is the successful delivery of academic content across subjects. Demonstrated through coverage, completion, and measurable progress. Coverage. Completion. No gaps. Not falling behind. Making sure it’s enough. Sound familiar? That definition is exhausting. And it’s not even working in schools. Teachers leave many pages of their curriculum undone at the end of every year. There are interruptions. Substitute teachers. Sick days. Stops and starts. There is no perfectly covered, hundred-percent-completed, no-gaps education happening in a classroom either. And the very academic kids who were force-fed information and tested weekly? How much of that actually stuck? How much of it translated into a purposeful, meaningful life? It is not possible to create a perfectly covered education. Not in a school. Not in your homeschool. The sooner you stop measuring yourself against that standard, the sooner you can build something that actually works. If this is landing for you and you want to hear me unpack it further — I’m also diving into this on my YouTube channel. Same episode, same conversation. Watch it here → https://youtu.be/1T8pINVSeXc Do You Need a Teaching Degree to Define Your Child’s Education? And if you question whether you have the intelligence to answer that question — don’t be in self-doubt. Of course you do. This is your child. Does it seem daunting? It likely does. But it doesn’t have to. I’ve stopped counting the number of times I’ve been asked if I’m a certified teacher. Nope. I’m not. Does being a certified teacher enable me to educate my children better at home? Nope. It doesn’t. In fact, statistically, being a certified teacher has no bearing on a child’s home education. Teachers have classroom management skills. They know standardized learning materials. They have years of experience that homeschooling parents might not have in the beginning — and I am not denying those skills for a moment. But it doesn’t mean I’m not more motivated to learn how to engage my children’s education than someone else. When I asked a kindergarten teacher about Grade 2 math, she didn’t know what to say. When I asked a high school English teacher how to approach a history discussion with an elementary-aged child, she was stumped too. Turns out, teachers don’t have the full breadth of knowledge either. And I’m certainly not claiming to either. Why do we think we need to? Google doesn’t have it all. Neither does YouTube. But both are pretty helpful. And when they aren’t, there are always books. Lots and lots and LOTS of books. You just need to know where to find the information. A little research and it’s findable.  So Where Do You Find What You Need? When I was in junior high, we bought our first computer: a Tandy EX 1000. The only computer training we had was a Logo program that did next to nothing for me. I attempted to wield x’s and o’s. I’m pretty sure they meant something, but I didn’t understand. Some thirty years later, anyone who wants to know how to use a computer knows. Anyone who wants to know how to Google, YouTube, Facebook, Tweet — they figured it out. Why? Because they found out, by themselves. Tada. The human mind is capable of figuring things out because it wants to. P.S. You might wonder how I went about structuring a thirteen-year-old’s academic education. Self-Education: The Heart of What an Education Really Is Why do we assume kids need everything taught to them? We assume something needs to be done to them. Before anyone sat them down and formally taught them anything, they had already learned animals, language, and how to navigate relationships. In their first year. Their second. Their fifth — long before they ever walked through a kindergarten door. Kids want to learn. It’s simply what they do. When we ask the question — what is an education anyway? — we’ve just begun to really consider who our children are and what they need. And that is exactly what Charlotte Mason was pointing to. What Is an Education Anyway? Here’s What Charlotte Mason Said. “Self-education is the only possible education; the rest is mere veneer laid on the surface of a child’s nature.” — Charlotte Mason I have returned to this quote more times than I can count. Because it points to something we already know intuitively. We keep forgetting it when we sit down at the kitchen table and default to the curriculum, the workbooks, the boxes of books, the online programs everyone else is using. Your job is not to pour information into a vessel. Your job is to raise up the child right in front of you. So what does that actually look like in a real homeschool? Here’s one mom’s answer. What Does Real Home Education Actually Look Like? A mom I worked with had been homeschooling for six years, three kids, and had done a lot of the external work — curriculum, systems, showing up every day. And then she went deeper and found her own answer to the question of what an education really is: “Education is a process of exposure to knowledge while learning involves personal processing and growth. Character traits like discernment, self-confidence, and self-management are important outcomes that continue developing long beyond formal education years.” She also said something that stopped me: “Even if no one was watching or assessing my approach, I would maintain similar objectives and methods.” She has found her own answer — not borrowed from the school system, not borrowed from a curriculum company. Entirely hers. And that is what I want for you. For me, the answer starts in the same place it always has — in wanting to engage my child, teach them when necessary, and capture their little hearts. I am most definitely motivated to do that. And so are you. That’s why you’re here. Want to keep going? This conversation continues on my Rethinking Education YouTube channel. Find it here → https://youtu.be/lkFJglpaoqs What is an education anyway? What Is an Education Anyway? Questions to Sit With This Week As you move through your week, gently ask yourself: What definition of education am I actually operating from right now? Did I choose it — or did I absorb it? Where might I be able to trust what is already working in my child? If no one was watching or assessing my homeschool, would I do anything differently? You don’t need to answer all of it today. Just noticing is already meaningful work. Want to Go Deeper? If this post resonated, the podcast episode What Is an Education Anyway? goes much further — including the five shifts I see happen when a homeschool mom finally loosens the grip of a definition that was never really hers, and what it looks like when peace replaces pressure in a real homeschool home. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. When you’re ready to take the next step, here are three ways I can help: If you’re in your first year — start with the free 7-Day Confident Homeschool Roadmap.

“Marriage is given to us in Heaven but formed here on Earth.” According to research provided by the non-profit faith-based ministry, Communio.org, there is a definitive correlation between pre-marital chastity and a healthy marriage. Fr Matt De Gance and his brother, JP De Gance, the founder and CEO of Communio.org, explain that more young adults are attending church and getting married at higher rates than ever before. As the Bible says, "It is not good for the man to be alone."

When the sex you're having doesn't go according to plan, most men go quiet, spiral into "woe is me," and wait for their partner to reassure them, instead of taking the lead. In this episode, I break down a recent client breakthrough that shows why that pattern keeps your sex life stuck and what changes this feedback loop.The real win isn't staying hard or "performing" perfectly. It's how you respond when things don't go ideal. That's the moment that sets a new trajectory and standard, builds your partner's trust, and starts a completely different feedback loop.
