Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Wisdom of Wives: What Women Have Taught Me About Life May 29, 2025 | Episode 5104 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description In this episode, I discuss the valuable lessons I've learned from the women in my life—my wives, moms, daughters, and other influential women. I share wisdom from historical figures like Abigail Adams and Eleanor Roosevelt, exploring how women have shaped my perspective on life, relationships, and personal growth. From the “look” that every married man knows about the constructive power of silence, I reflect on how women's wisdom has guided me through nearly two decades of podcasting and life itself. Featured Story Scott reflects on his relationships with the important women in his life, sharing personal insights about marriage, wisdom, and the complementary roles that men and women play together. He weaves personal anecdotes with historical quotes from first ladies and influential women, creating a tribute to the feminine wisdom that has shaped his journey over 19 years of podcasting. Important Points Women possess a unique wisdom that often guides and “tames” the men in their lives, creating balance in relationships. True strength is revealed when women face challenging situations - they rise to the occasion with remarkable resilience. Marriage is an active verb, not a passive noun. It requires daily effort and intentional love to make it work. Memorable Quotes “Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure.” “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” “Marriage is not a noun. It's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do.” Scott's Three-Step Approach Pay attention to the wisdom of the women around you and actively listen to their insights. Recognize that men and women are different but complementary, bringing unique strengths to relationships. Apply the lessons learned from feminine wisdom to become a better partner, father, and human being. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Episode #985 What does it really mean to be present for your kids—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally? And how do you balance that presence with the pressure you put on yourself to be a better man, husband, and leader? In this episode, one father opens up about the raw and honest journey of leveling up—not just as a dad, but as a man. You'll hear how stepping into deeper accountability led to a powerful realization: the standards we hold ourselves to can also become silent contracts that impact our relationships. We dive into what happens when you stop trying to fix others and start leading with understanding. The conversation explores how to break patterns of judgment, how to truly connect with your children (especially daughters), and why being the “lighthouse” for your family sometimes means taking time to recharge your own bulb. You'll also hear about the surprising shifts that come from doing men's work—not just once, but consistently—and how doing this work together brings clarity, confidence, and a deeper connection to purpose. No fluff. Just real stories from real men doing the work—together. Feel like you're doing everything right but still drifting from your wife? This free book will show you how to reconnect—without long talks or therapy.

There is only one way to turn a house into a home, and that is to build it God's way. When you use God's blueprint, and invite Him to be the general contractor, your home will have a solid foundation and will withstand any storm that may come against it.

The Irish novelist has always been open to where life can unexpectedly take him, and the excitement that comes with that kind of freedom.Colm Toibin's first big move was from rural Ireland to Dublin after his father died when he was young. Then, it was off to experience the wild hedonism and sexual liberation of post-Franco Spain, a pleasant shock after needing a prescription to buy condoms in Ireland.Since then, he's journeyed to Sudan, Los Angeles, New York and beyond.Wherever Colm goes, he keeps a running list in his head of tiny details — observations of seemingly mundane encounters, an offhand comment or the cut of a lady's suit on a train.Every now and then, these details bubble up in Colm's memory and another of his well-loved novels, like Brooklyn, Nora Webster or The Master, is born.This episode was produced by Meggie Morris. Conversations Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison. Presented by Sarah Kanowski.It explores film adaptations, death of a parent, grief, Ireland, homophobia, growing up gay, Catholicism, epic adventure, John Crowley, Nick Hornby, Saoirse Ronan, Domhnall Gleeson, Julie Walters, Dublin, immigrant experience, the Irish immigrant experience, family separation, origin stories, falling in love, books, writers, novels, life-story, family dynamics, reflection, loss, funny, comedy, repression, orgies, condom prescriptions, journalism, foreign correspondents.Colm's latest novel Long Island is published by Pan MacMillan.He was in Australia as a guest of the Wheeler Centre, RMIT, Melbourne Writers Festival and Sydney Writers Festival.

Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!Are you craving deeper emotional connection, more intimacy, and stronger partnership in your marriage—especially while juggling motherhood?In this episode we're diving into why “thank you” is more powerful than “I love you” when it comes to keeping your marriage strong and satisfying.Many women feel unseen and unappreciated by their spouses, especially under the weight of parenting and daily responsibilities. But did you know that gratitude—not just communication or love—is one of the strongest predictors of marital satisfaction?Whether you're a mom feeling burnt out from doing it all or a wife longing to feel valued by your husband, this episode gives you practical ways to bring appreciation into your marriage. You'll also learn how to ask for gratitude without sounding like you're complaining or nagging.

"The Purpose of Marriage" is a divine mystery that reflects Christ's love for the church. In this episode, Duane Sheriff teaches the divine purpose of marriage and its connection to the gospel. There is a compelling parallel between traditional marriage and our spiritual union with Jesus. Marriage is not simply a contract or social institution. It is a divine institution that reflects Christ's love for the church. Today's culture and many churches often fail to grasp the true purpose of marriage. Understanding the connection between marriage and our relationship with Christ is essential to our spiritual growth.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/the-purpose-of-marriage/

It was the whack heard around the world. The door on the airplane opened to a bewildered Emanuel Macron who downplayed what we all saw, clear as day in video footage. But big news out of Israel is the elimination of yet another Sinwar brother. Also reports of Israel planning an attack on Iran are heating up while the White House continues to tell Israel to stand down. Also, an Israeli competes in the Indy 500, and suspicious packages keep arriving at Knesset members. In other news, in the US, two innocents were brutally murdered by a far-left anti-Semite in Washington DC, and we put some of our elected officials under the microscope for their pro-Semite rating.   ** Town Appliance - For All Of Your Appliance Needs! ** No matter the budget, Town Appliance will get you the right appliance for your needs and give you the most value for your money. https://www.townappliance.com/ Call/Text/Whatsapp: 732-364-5195   ** BONUS CONTENT AVAILABLE NOW BY PHONE! ** Subscribe At: 605-417-0303 If you're having an issue connecting to our call-in number: Alternate number: 605-562-3525   Get official KC swag and show your support to the world! https://kiddushclubmerch.com   Subscribe now to keep us going and access bonus content! https://buymeacoffee.com/kiddushclub/membership     We have a call-in number where you can hear the cast!

Is artificial intelligence becoming the third party in your marriage? In this timely episode, we explore the growing trend of couples turning to AI for relationship advice, planning, and emotional processing. Based on survey data from real couples, Christa unpacks three major benefits AI brings to marriage—from vacation planning to communication tools—and three significant concerns about emotional bypassing, digital intimacy, and false authority. Drawing from relationship research and real-world examples, including insights from Simon Sinek about the importance of authentic conflict, this episode offers practical guidelines for using AI to enhance rather than replace genuine marital connection. Whether you're AI-curious or concerned about technology's impact on relationships, this is a MUST-LISTEN as you gain clarity and conviction on how to navigate artificial intelligence's role in your most important human connections!!

Her Triumph Over PTSD, In Marriage and Life. Special Episode. Trauma often leaves silent scars. Jen Satterly has emerged as a powerful voice for recovery, resilience, and hope. Her journey, from behind the camera lens to the front lines of healing, reveals a deeply personal and professional commitment to helping others overcome the lingering effects of PTSD, especially within the tight-knit communities of Special Forces veterans and their families. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Jen's story begins not in uniform, but in creativity. As an award-winning advertising specialist and filmmaker, she was invited to embed with elite military units, capturing the essence of Special Operations training missions. Working alongside Navy SEALS, Green Berets, and Army Rangers, she documented the unfiltered reality of war simulation. But what she captured went far beyond the battlefield. It is also promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other platforms. “Being embedded in that world opened my eyes not only to the courage of our warriors,” Jen shared, “but also to the invisible wounds they carry, ones that follow them home.” It was during this time that Jen met Tom Satterly, a retired Command Sgt. Major with Delta Force, and a highly decorated combat veteran. Tom's career had taken him through the darkest corners of modern warfare, including the Battle of Mogadishu, portrayed in the Oscar-winning movie "Black Hawk Down". This brutal engagement marked the longest firefight since Vietnam and left permanent imprints on all who survived. Her Triumph Over PTSD, In Marriage and Life. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Tom's internal battle didn't end with his military service. Like many veterans, he struggled with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Jen quickly realized the emotional toll extended beyond the soldier to the entire family unit. Their marriage became both a test and a testament to what love and understanding could achieve in the face of trauma. Together, they founded the All Secure Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Special Operations warriors and their families heal from the trauma of war. Jen, now a certified health and wellness coach, stepped away from production to focus on helping others navigate life after combat. Their mission: to treat both the seen and unseen wounds of war. “PTS doesn't just affect the veteran,” Jen emphasized. “It's a battle that affects the entire household. Spouses and children experience what's called complex secondary PTSD. They become collateral damage in a war they never signed up for.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Jenn Satterly co-authored "Arsenal of Hope", a powerful book that delivers practical tools and raw, authentic stories from their life together.

Her Triumph Over PTSD, In Marriage and Life. “Arsenal of Hope isn't just a book,” Jen said. “It's a lifeline for anyone who feels like they're drowning.” Jen also founded Virago, a platform tailored specifically for women who face PTSD on the home front. Virago, which means a woman of strength, aims to educate, empower, and connect women who are often the silent strength behind our nation's heroes. Their story has resonated with thousands, especially through social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, where they regularly share resources, insights, and community events. Their podcast, also titled All Secure, is available on Apple and Spotify, and features unflinching conversations about trauma, healing, and personal transformation. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. In this episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast listeners will find an unfiltered look into the reality of military marriages, life after combat, and practical recovery strategies. The Satterlys' efforts haven't gone unnoticed. The All Secure Foundation has earned top ratings from nonprofit watchdogs and now serves thousands of veterans and families. Their work fills a vital gap in the support system, especially for those in the elite Special Operations community who often face stigma around seeking help. Her Triumph Over PTSD, In Marriage and Life. Tom, who once led missions capturing war criminals and taking down high-value targets, including Saddam Hussein, now channels his warrior ethos into emotional recovery. He credits Jen not only as his wife but as his partner in healing. “She didn't just marry me,” Tom says. “She married the mission, and together, we're bringing light to a very dark place.” Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms. The Battle of Mogadishu may have defined Tom's career, but it's the battles fought in the quiet corners of home, through connection, understanding, and advocacy, that now define the couple's legacy. And for Jen, the mission is clear: turn pain into purpose and help others find victory in their own war against PTSD.

Pride takes down families. Simple as that. It is as deceptive as it is destructive. If we were to closely examine the issues related to marriage and divorce, as well as other relational conflicts, pride wouldn't be too hard to find. Unfortunately, we all deal with it to some degree. Humility, on the other hand, is what strengthens bonds and makes way for the wisdom that we need to overcome even the most significant relationship issues.

In this episode of CASAT Conversations, we are honored to welcome Saul, a seasoned Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor with more than five decades of experience working at the intersection of addiction, mental health, and family systems.Throughout his career, Saul has worked with clients others deemed “resistant” or “impossible”—individuals often mandated into services or marginalized by systems that failed to see their humanity. What he learned, and now passionately teaches, is this: the most powerful lessons don't come from textbooks or treatment manuals—they come from clients themselves.Drawing from decades in private practice and systems work across juvenile justice, child welfare, and addiction treatment, Saul shares how he moved away from model-driven care and toward a client-need driven approach grounded in curiosity, collaboration, and respect. He reflects on what it means to be a “tourist in the client's country,” how client scapegoating became his professional pet peeve, and why believing in the capacity for change—no matter the client—is non-negotiable.With humility and deep conviction, Saul challenges the field to stop blaming clients and start reimagining engagement, starting with one powerful belief: there are no throwaway clients.In this episode, Saul discusses:Why clients are often our most powerful teachersHow he shifted from model-driven therapy to client-need driven careThe dangers of labeling clients as “resistant” or “non-compliant”What it means to truly engage a client on their termsHis approach to working with “difficult” clients and coercive systemsThe importance of clinical humility, curiosity, and collaborationWhy he wrote his legacy book to share these lessons with the next generationJoin us for a candid and inspiring conversation about what happens when we let go of rigid models and start listening—really listening—to the people we serve.Key words: addiction treatment, mental health, systems, client-centered therapyResources:https://www.amazon.com/Therapy-Clients-Challenging-Unique-Issues/dp/1032492422

A lot of people fall in love outside of their marriages. Some have affairs. Some leave their wives or husbands. But not a lot of people are Agnes Callard. Agnes did something really unique. She fell in love while she was (seemingly happily) married with two children. She told her husband. They got divorced—sharing a single lawyer—and it took under three weeks to split. And then? Then they all moved in together. To repeat, Agnes lives with her husband, her ex-husband, and their combined three kids. And by the way, they're all philosophy professors at The University of Chicago. The cherry on top is that she talks about all of it. A lot. And with radical openness and honesty—including in an unforgettable profile of her in The New Yorker titled “Agnes Callard's Marriage of the Minds.” Perhaps you hear all of that and think: This woman is a nut. Or at the very least a little zany. We beg to differ. There's something about Agnes. Whether it's a result of her worldview, her predisposition, or her vocation as a philosopher, that gives her a tremendous ability to float above any situation—including the most intimate and personal—and philosophize it. When Agnes writes and speaks openly about the experience of falling in love while married, and about how it unmoored her understanding of relationships and expectations, she helps the rest of us make sense of the most universal topics and experiences. It is an unusual gift. These experiences and her reflections on them all became fodder for her new book, Open Socrates: The Case for a Philosophical Life, where she says we are not asking ourselves important questions—about how we should live and how we might change. Today on Honestly, Bari asks Agnes: how and why she turned her life upside down for love, how she knew it was love, how she examines her own marriage, how we can all live like her hero Socrates, and how an examined life can benefit us all.

In today's episode, we're diving into a powerful truth: the health of your marriage often comes down to what you choose to focus on. It's easy to fixate on what's not working, letting small annoyances grow into mountains of frustration. But what if the key to deeper connection and lasting joy is found in a simple but radical posture—gratitude? We'll explore how contentment isn't resignation, but an intentional choice to see the blessings amidst the imperfections. You'll hear honest reflections on prioritizing your spouse, the life-giving role of quality time, and how to navigate conflict in ways that build satisfaction, not resentment. Whether you're newly married or decades in, this conversation is a fresh reminder that gratitude, not settling, is the foundation of a thriving Christian marriage.   Episode highlights: Feeling content in marriage is different from settling. There's a way to work through conflict that makes both spouses feel more satisfied. Healthy conflict resolution is one of the strongest predictors of marriage satisfaction.  Silent discontentment leads to resentment that erodes at the foundation of your marriage.  The key is finding solutions that honor both spouses perspectives.   Questions to reflect: What are three things about our marriage that you're grateful for right now? Are there any small annoyances in our relationship that we've let build up? How can we address them gently and respectfully? How can we be more intentional about choosing each other—especially in the areas where our preferences or personalities differ?   Quotes from today's episode: “I found myself focusing on the things that weren't working in my marriage instead of thinking about the things that were.” “Small annoyances can grow into mountains of frustration” “Settling comes from a place of resignation” “Contentment flows from gratitude, an intentional choice we make.” “Contentment says I see the imperfections in our marriage but I choose to focus on the blessings.” “Nancy comes before my personal preferences.” “The key word is choice.” “Have a posture of gratitude while understanding there is room for growth.” “Quality time is oxygen for your marriage” "There's a way to work through conflict that makes both spouses feel more satisfied."
