Jealousy is one of the most common—and most shamed—experiences for people with anxious attachment. In this episode, we're exploring where jealousy really comes from, how it manifests in relationships, and why it makes so much sense through the lens of self-worth and attachment wounding.I share personal reflections from my own journey with jealousy, alongside insights to help you understand your patterns with more compassion and clarity. Whether you obsessively compare yourself to others, feel threatened by your partner's past, or find yourself spinning out when you don't feel like a priority, this episode will help you start untangling the deeper fears driving those reactions.We'll cover:Why jealousy is often a symptom of deeper insecurity and low self-worthThe difference between jealousy and envy — and why both show up for anxiously attached peopleCommon behaviours (like social media stalking or reassurance-seeking) and why they don't actually soothe your fearsWhat to do when jealousy arises — and why shame only makes it worseWhy building self-worth is the most powerful antidote to chronic jealousySign up for the 28-Day Secure Self ChallengeHighlighted Links FREE TRAINING: How to Heal Anxious Attachment and (Finally) Feel Secure in Life & Love Download the FREE Anxious Attachment Starter Kit here September 2025 London Event Waitlist Additional Resources Join my email list
Feeling stuck in your relationship? Like things are off, disconnected, or just… heavy? You're not alone. Relationship ruts are common — and they're often more about what's bleeding into the relationship (stress, burnout, life overload) than about the relationship itself.For those in anxious-avoidant dynamics, these ruts can feel especially charged. The anxious partner often wants to fix it, while the avoidant may feel overwhelmed or pressured — leading to even more distance.In this episode, I share 3 powerful shifts to help you move out of a rut and back into connection:Shift your focus to what is working — Appreciation and warmth go further than criticism.Reconnect through something light — Play, fun, and novelty can do what words sometimes can't.Tend to your own world — Reclaim your centre so the relationship doesn't carry the full weight of your wellbeing.Highlighted Links FREE TRAINING: How to Heal Anxious Attachment and (Finally) Feel Secure in Life & Love Download the FREE Anxious Attachment Starter Kit here September 2025 London Event Waitlist Additional Resources Join my email list

Whether you're single or partnered, you might find yourself wondering: Am I in the right place to do this work?

We all have visions for how we thought life would unfold — timelines we hoped to follow, milestones we expected to reach. So what happens when life doesn't go to plan?In today's episode, I'm speaking to those moments of disappointment, grief, and disorientation that come when our reality looks nothing like we'd imagined. Whether it's relationships, career, family, or a more intangible sense of where you “should” be by now — it's easy to spiral into self-blame, shame, or despair when life veers off course.We'll explore:Why unmet timelines can stir such deep emotion and shameThe hidden comparison traps that make us feel like we're falling behindHow to hold space for grief without collapsing into hopelessnessThe difference between giving up and gently letting goWhat it looks like to reimagine your path from a place of self-trust and compassionIf you're navigating a chapter that looks wildly different from what you'd hoped or planned — I hope this conversation helps you feel a little less alone.Highlighted Links FREE TRAINING: How to Heal Anxious Attachment and (Finally) Feel Secure in Life & Love Download the FREE Anxious Attachment Starter Kit here September 2025 London Event Waitlist Additional Resources Join my email list
REGISTER FOR MY NEW FREE TRAININGMany of us are taught that taking care of the people we love is the ultimate expression of devotion. But when caring crosses the line into caretaking, it can quietly create deep imbalances in our relationships.Caretaking often stems from anxiety, a need for control, or an old belief that love must be earned through over-functioning — anticipating needs, smoothing over discomfort, managing someone else's feelings or life for them. While it can look like love on the surface, it often leaves both partners stuck: one overextending, the other under-functioning, and both feeling disconnected.In this episode, we explore:The key differences between caring and caretakingHow caretaking can create resentment, imbalance, and emotional dependencyWhy caretaking is often a hidden form of controlSigns you might be caught in a caretaking dynamicHow to shift towards healthier, more empowering ways of loving and relatingBuilding secure, connected relationships isn't about fixing or rescuing each other — it's about standing alongside each other, with enough trust to let each person take responsibility for themselves.Highlighted Links FREE TRAINING: How to Heal Anxious Attachment and (Finally) Feel Secure in Life & Love Download the FREE Anxious Attachment Starter Kit here September 2025 London Event Waitlist Additional Resources Join my email list

What do Christians mean when they say "church?" Is that just a boring service on a Sunday? In this episode, we're talking about all things church. We discuss being members of a church, whether church online is better, and whether you should "church hop" to a handful of your favorite churches every week. As summer approaches, many of us may find ourselves in a new city. Whether you're graduating, starting a new job, or simply embarking on a new adventure, remember that one of the most important decisions you'll make is where you are going to grow spiritually. We hope this episode helps you make the best decision! ✌️ Stay tuned weekly, Truth and Love❤️
I Choose Love ~ A Wisdom Teaching The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 55
Getting married is a HUGE DECISION, and so why would you ever want to make that decision when you're in your early 20s? This week we're examining the pros and cons of getting married young, and some of the answers might surprise you.
What is Hell? Why would a loving God send people there? What about the people who have never had the opportunity to hear the gospel? We answer those and a ton more in this episode, and now you have to wrestle with the question of what you believe. If you've got more questions about the Christian faith, DM us on social, and we'd love to answer!
Grand Theft Auto 6 just took the world by storm, but should Christians be thinking about playing that game? We often don't think about the type of content we take in each day, and yet these decisions have a HUGE impact on how we think, feel, and see the world around us. Maybe it's time for all of us to check our screen time and see how God might want us to respond.
Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas from Truth & Love!

Marriage is a tool that can enhance our journey to the Promised Land, if we use it well. It is also a tool that can leave us in a ditch alongside the Way. As Black people, with a spiritual/metaphorical relationship with "the Plantation," we should particularly understand how a strong marriage can keep you on course to Liberty and keep watch over your blindspots so you aren't captured by the hounds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hswzpHAQeM This week, Sonya and I are on retreat: to give thanks for another year of determining to travel the Way together and to discern how we should continue along the Way...who we need to be and what we need to do, to be better at traveling the Way to the Promised Land. Only For Men who are Committed to Love: Download the free guide It's a special time we've committed to cherish, and thanks be to God we've held to thus far. And in this episode, I share some of the reasoning why I think this type of practice is important. I think it's particularly important for me, as a husband, to be a leader in this space. And, I think this investment of effort yields a great reward. But it ain't for the fainthearted. Even Jay-Z learned that at 4:44! LOL What do you think? What do you do?
