In a world filled with anger, division, revenge, and broken relationships, Jesus calls His followers to live differently. In this message from our “Don't Be Normal” series, we explore how the love of Jesus is anything but normal—and how His grace transforms the way we treat the people around us. Following Jesus doesn't just change what we believe; it changes how we love, forgive, respond, and live every day.Support the show

It's not always "if they wanted to they would," because sometimes the issue isn't desire—it's capacity, and that distinction changes everything. In this episode, Vanessa Bennett explores why someone can love you, mean well, even want closeness, and still not be able to sustain repair, intimacy, or emotional steadiness in a consistent way. We talk about the collapse of potential into pattern, why protest can keep fantasy alive, and how “victimhood” can quietly protect us from the terror of choice and grief. The core question becomes brutally adult: what am I willing to participate in? For educational purposes only. This isn't therapy.If you want to go deeper, check out the written companion on Substack and explore community + training at https://www.vanessaBennett.com.Additional ResourcesExplore: VanessaBennett.comBook: The Motherhood MythCommunity: Inner Compass CollectiveTraining: Inner Compass AcademyConnect with Inner CompassFollow on InstagramConnect with Vanessa Bennett:Follow on InstagramFollow on TikTokLearn more on SubstackConnect with Vanessa Bennett on LinkedInSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. John explains psychological blind spots drawing on organizational psychologist Tasha Eurich's research that while most people believe they're self-aware, only 12–15% actually are. He distinguishes internal self-awareness (knowing your values, emotions, motivations) from external self-awareness (knowing how others experience you), noting they aren't strongly correlated and blind spots live in the gap. He outlines why blind spots persist—self-protection, threat-based defensiveness, and success masking dysfunction—then offers a practical process: choose 2–5 honest, non-dependent “mirrors,” ask specific stress-and-conflict questions, listen without defending, look for repeated patterns, and separate intent from impact. He emphasizes emotional regulation and turning blind spots into growth edges through naming, tracking, and small behavioral experiments, and introduces Proximity Coaching (live biweekly groups plus an always available AI coach) before concluding that real self-awareness includes knowing how you make others feel.00:52 Self Awareness Myth01:59 Two Types Awareness03:32 Why Blind Spots Happen05:16 Common Blind Spot Examples06:05 Ask What Not Why07:10 Find The Right Mirror08:38 Spot Patterns And Impact09:33 Regulate Emotions For Feedback10:10 Turn Insight Into Change11:47 Why It Matters12:10 Proximity Coaching Offer14:38 Final TakeawaysFor Fewer Regrets and Greater Connection?

Here's a question most men never ask themselves until it's too late: If you found out today you had six months to live — what would you regret?Turns out, the answer is almost entirely predictable. And preventable. Researchers have been interviewing men in hospice care, in their 70s and 80s, men who built impressive careers and full lives — and the same ten regrets show up over and over, regardless of income, culture, or zip code.Which means two things: you're not uniquely screwed up. And these regrets can be avoided.In this episode, Dr. John Schinnerer breaks down the ten most common regrets men report later in life, what the research actually says about how regret works (hint: the things you didn't do hurt worse than the things you did), and the single pattern underneath all of it that most men never see until it's too late.You'll hear about the attorney who showed up to every recital and missed his daughter's entire childhood. The project manager who retired fully funded and spent eight months in an empty fog. The guy who spent 25 years saying he'd walk the Camino de Santiago — until his knees made the decision for him.This isn't a shame spiral. This is a heads-up. A roadmap of the terrain most men walk blindly into — and a set of tools for navigating it differently while there's still time.In this episode: Why inaction regrets are more painful and persistent than action regrets (Northwestern research) The "impact bias" — why men massively underestimate how bad future regret will feel The top 10 regrets men report most consistently as they age The Inner Board Meeting model — and why most men have the wrong executive running their life A one-week assignment that actually moves the needle (no journaling required) The launch of Proximity Coaching — AI coaches built on 30 years of real psychology, available 24/7 at proximitycoaching.com If you've had any version of the thought "I'll get to that later" — this episode is for you.Try Proximity Coaching free: proximitycoaching.com Email John: John@guidetoself.com Instagram: @theevolvedcavemanResearch cited: Roese & Summerville (2005); Gilovich & Medvec (1995); Carstensen (2006); van der Kolk (2014); Levenson, Carstensen & Gottman (1994)Want Fewer Regrets and Greater Connection?

Spiritual students who who pour themselves out for everyone else, then feel a flicker of guilt the moment they pause to care for themselves. They say yes when they're already running low. When they finally rest, a quiet voice calls it selfish. For anyone walking a spiritual path, the line between devotion and depletion blurs fast, and most of us were taught to honor the wrong side of it. Joined by author Alan Cohen, Jennifer Hadley turns to A Course in Miracles to question a belief so familiar that ACIM students rarely notice they're living by it.

Send us Fan MailYou love them. And still, you're exhausted.The same argument keeps coming back. The same silence shows up after the fight. The same emotional distance keeps growing, even though somewhere underneath all of it, you still care deeply.That's the part that can make you feel like you're losing your mind.If the love is still there, why is this so hard?In this episode of Love Shack Live, Staci, Tom, and Brooke revisit one of the most important questions in relationships: is love alone enough to make a relationship last?You'll learn:✓ Why “all you need is love” can quietly set couples up to fail ✓ Why love is a beautiful foundation, but not the whole house ✓ The relationship skills most of us were never taught ✓ Why emotional regulation, communication, self-awareness, repair, and asking for what you need matter so much ✓ How blaming yourself or your partner keeps you stuck ✓ Why “skilling up” can help you see your partner with more humanity ✓ How one person learning new skills can begin to change the dynamic ✓ Why struggling doesn't mean you're broken, doomed, or with the wrong personWhether you're married, partnered, separated, rebuilding, dating, single, or trying not to repeat old patterns, this episode will help you rethink what's really missing when love still exists but the relationship feels hard.Because most relationships don't struggle from a lack of love.They struggle from a lack of skills.And skills can be learned.

Hi guys, welcome back to Episode 656!Today I'm getting real about something we all deal with: how the heck do you show up in love when your person is cranky, messy, or straight-up not their best self?I just lived this one out the hard way. My husband had the roughest work week — long hours, freezing room, terrible food, no workouts — and I caught myself pulling away and getting short with him instead of leaning in. Not my finest hour.But a road trip + a Tony Robbins podcast smacked me right in the chest with the truth: easy love is cute. Deep love shows up when it's ugly.So I'm sharing the small, quiet ways I'm learning to choose “us” even on the hard days… and challenging you to ask yourself one powerful question next time someone you love is in a mood: “What would deep love do right now?”If you've ever had a cranky partner, tense family gathering, or a friend who's not showing up as their best, this one's for you. Drop a comment and tell me how it went when you tried it — we're all in this messy life together.Real love is worth fighting for, even when it doesn't feel easy.I love you guys so much — I'll see you in a few days! ❤️

You've been praying for love.You've asked God for clarity, consistency, and a healthy relationship…So why does your dating life still feel confusing, inconsistent, or stuck?In this episode, we're addressing a hard truth:Prayer isn't the problem.Your lack of strategy is.Because while many women are spiritually grounded, they're still navigating dating with no clear approach—relying on feelings, moving too quickly, and ignoring what's right in front of them.And then wondering why the outcome hasn't changed.In this conversation, I break down:why prayer alone won't produce a healthy relationshipthe difference between faith and passive waitinghow your dating patterns are working against what you're asking forwhy you keep overriding what you already seeand what it actually looks like to date with intention and discernmentThis isn't about blaming you.It's about giving you clarity and direction.Because once your faith and your actions align…everything shifts.

Are you ready to stop reliving your past and break your toxic relationship cycle? Today on Eyes Wide Open, we're joined by subconscious healing expert Riana Malia to discuss the radical intentionality required to clear deep-seated trauma and step into your most authentic self.    Riana shares her incredible journey from a childhood in Minnesota to surviving a high-stakes DEA investigation, and how those pivotal moments led her to develop the "Clear to Create" method to break her toxic relationship cycle   We dive into the "neurological baggage" that keeps so many high-achieving women stuck in cycles of toxic relationships and self-doubt. Riana offers a fresh perspective on why traditional storytelling can actually prolong your pain and how to remove the emotional charge from your history without having to relive it.   We discuss the impact of resentment on trust, the myth of the "conscious" choice, and practical strategies like the Love Index  to identify what is actually blocking your capacity to break your toxic relationship cycle.    Whether you're recovering from a betrayal or simply seeking more alignment with your core values, this conversation provides a roadmap for returning to clarity, self-trust, and permanent healing.   In this episode, you'll learn:  - The 95% Rule: Why the unconscious mind drives nearly all of our behaviors and why healing must happen at the neurological level to be permanent.  - Clearing vs. Reliving: Understanding how to release the "emotional charge" of trauma (the ribbons and marbles) without the pain of reliving the original memories.  - The Resentment Barrier: Why holding onto past rage is the #1 block to breaking toxic relationship cycles for authentic love and how forgiveness serves as a practical tool for personal freedom.  - The Clear-Create-Claim Process: Riana's three-phase methodology for stripping away old narratives, building empowering beliefs, and stepping into a new identity.   - The Story vs. The Self: How to distinguish between the events that happened to you and who you truly are at your core to unlock lasting inner peace. Get the Extraordinary Love Index - https://quiz.rianamalia.com/   About Our Guest Riana Malia is a leading voice in subconscious healing and the creator of the "Clear to Create" method. Specializing in trauma recovery and neurological reprogramming, she helps high-achieving women move beyond survival mode and into their full potential.

Join Zoe and Michelle for an incredibly powerful and deeply moving conversation with Martha Stringer as she shares her radical journey from striving to be the best Christian, burning out in ministry, suffering with chronic pain and learning what it truly means to rest in God's love rather than perform for it.

If you're a spiritual or heart-centred business owner who knows you're capable of more… but something keeps holding you back from fully putting yourself out there, this conversation will hit home. In this live coaching session, I sit down with Alyson Williams, a self-love coach who works with women to rebuild their sense of worth and identity. Together, we unpack: • Why her first campaigns didn't gain traction • What shifted when her message became clear and tangible • How she generated 12 yeses from just 20 personal messages • The real reason women in business undercharge, overgive, and hesitate to promote themselves • How self-worth directly impacts sales, pricing, and visibility We also explore one of the biggest challenges for coaches, healers, and practitioners: You know your work creates deep transformation, but how do you communicate that in a way people actually respond to? This is where most people get stuck. Alyson shares her journey from: • unclear messaging • resistance to outreach • inconsistent results …to start building real momentum through clarity, accountability, and aligned action. Key Takeaways • Your message needs to focus on a tangible problem, not just a deep truth • Self-worth issues show up in business as: o undercharging o weak offers o inconsistent visibility • Personal messages work when the message is clear and relevant • You don't need to be a business coach to help people get results in business • Inner work (identity, belief systems, self-love) drives external results About Alyson Alyson Williams is a self-love coach who helps women, especially those who have felt unseen, unheard, or undervalued, come home to themselves and step into their true identity. Her work focuses on: • self-worth • belief systems • values alignment • emotional healing So women can live and lead from a place of authenticity, confidence, and self-trust.

Welcome to the Heal and Restore Podcast with Randy and Cathy Boyd—where we dive into real conversations that help you heal, grow, and strengthen your relationships.In today's powerful episode, “Why Love Isn't Enough: Emotional Safety in Marriage,” we're talking about something many couples don't realize until they're already hurting—love alone does not sustain a healthy, thriving relationship.You can love someone deeply and still feel disconnected. You can be committed and still feel unseen, unheard, or even unsafe emotionally. That's because what every marriage truly needs—beyond love—is emotional safety.In this episode, we're going to unpack what emotional safety really means, why it's essential for trust, communication, and intimacy, and how the absence of it can quietly erode even the strongest relationships. We'll also share practical ways to begin creating a safe space where both partners can be honest, vulnerable, and fully known—without fear of rejection or judgment.If you've ever felt like something is missing in your relationship—even though the love is still there—this conversation is for you.

This episode explores the true strength of kindness, emphasizing that love, respect, and boundaries are essential components of authentic power. It challenges the misconception that kindness is weakness and offers insights on how to live with intention, self-trust, and compassion.Follow me on instagram for more inspiring, motivational and uplifting content.

There's a reason those manosphere videos hit so hard. The ones that say the world is rigged against you, that you just need to get stronger, richer, more dominant — and everything will click into place. They see something real. They name a pain most guys have been told to ignore.But here's what nobody in those circles will ever tell you: the playbook they're handing you has an expiration date. And when it runs out, you're left with something worse than where you started.In this episode, Dr. John Schinnerer breaks down the three-part hook that makes manosphere content so addictive, the emotional trap hiding underneath the "stay angry, stay sharp" mentality, and what actual strength looks like when you strip away the performance. (Hint: the most confident men you know feel more, not less — they just know what to do with it.)This isn't a lecture. It's not a takedown. And it's definitely not "just be nicer." It's a different path — one built on skill, self-knowledge, and the kind of emotional strength training nobody ever taught you.If you've ever felt invisible, behind, or angry for reasons you can't fully explain — this one's for you.PODCAST LINKS FOR NOTES:Want More Confidence, Charm and Inner Leadership?

Most couples blame relationship struggles on communication issues. But what if that's not the real problem? In this episode of The Loving Truth Podcast with Sharon Pope, we're unpacking a powerful (and often overlooked) truth: It's not just about how you communicate. It's about your capacity to stay open, connected, and willing to grow. Because here's the reality: You can love someone deeply, and still feel disconnected, unheard, and stuck in the same patterns. Not because the love isn't there. But because one (or both) of you may be hitting the limits of your capacity. We'll break down the first three pillars of what I call the Marriage Capacity Framework:  ✔ Emotional Capacity: Staying open when things get difficult ✔ Relational Capacity: Expressing love in ways your partner can receive ✔ Growth Capacity: The willingness to evolve over time If you've ever wondered: “Why do we keep having the same disagreements?…this episode will give you a completely new lens and a starting point for real change. Listen to the full episode and ask yourself: “Which capacity might be limiting my relationship right now?” [00:00:18] — Why Sharon is changing her approach [00:02:00] — Introducing the Marriage Capacity Framework [00:06:00] — The 3 types of capacity every marriage needs [00:07:10] — Capacity #1: Emotional Capacity [00:13:29] — Sharon's personal story: high emotional capacity in action [00:18:00] — Capacity #2: Relational Capacity [00:20:13] — The slow drift: how couples stop meeting each other's needs [00:26:00] — Capacity #3: Growth Capacity [00:32:14] — Why capacity is the real reason marriages struggle

3.26.26 Hour 2, Kevin Sheehan defends his position on not wanting the Commanders to draft Jeremiyah Love with their pick at 7 and why he doesn't think Love is worth a top 10 pick. Grant Paulsen from 106.7 The Fan joins The Kevin Sheehan show to give an Opening Day preview for the Washington Nationals this MLB season and what fans should expect and look forward to seeing from players on the team.

Why does it feel like you're trying so hard in your relationship… but still ending up disconnected?In this episode, we explore how good intentions can unintentionally create distance, especially when love is expressed in ways that aren't felt on the other side. You'll learn how nervous system responses, misinterpretation, and emotional patterns shape relationship dynamics and how small shifts in awareness can create meaningful change. If you've ever thought, “I'm trying, so why isn't it working?”, this episode will give you a new lens and practical ways to reconnect.

Most men weren't taught to be selfish. They were trained to protect an image — and that's a different problem entirely.In this episode, Dr. John Schinnerer breaks down how the Man Box — the unwritten rules every boy absorbs about what "real men" do and feel — quietly creates what he calls defensive egocentrism: a pattern where men organize their entire sense of worth around performance, status, and perception instead of emotional awareness and responsibility.You'll learn why so many high-functioning men take things personally that aren't personal, why criticism feels like an attack, and why the car-honk that ruins your morning is actually a window into something much deeper.This isn't about shaming men. It's about helping you see the pattern — because you can't heal what you can't feel.In this episode:- What the Man Box actually is (and why "strength" isn't the problem)- The difference between defensive egocentrism and clinical narcissism- The honking car story — and what your reaction reveals about your identity- What emotional maturity actually looks like in a man- One question that will change how you respond to criticism this weekAnd a special heads up — something big is coming. The Evolved Caveman Inner Leadership AI Coach is almost here: a personalized, on-demand coaching tool built specifically for high-functioning men who are done white-knuckling their way through relationships, anger, and identity.

In this provocative and darkly funny episode of Living in a Post-Truth World: The Death Of Fact, host Dr. John Schinnerer explores how America entered the post-truth era—and what it's costing our democracy, our public health, and our sanity.Dr. John examines how the Trump administration's documented removal and disruption of public datasets—from health and climate reports to environmental justice tools—has contributed to a growing erosion of shared reality. Drawing on investigative reporting from Brookings, KFF, ProPublica, AP News, and others, he separates documented evidence from clearly labeled inference to ask a critical question:What happens when the scoreboard disappears?This episode breaks down:  The difference between misinformation and “measurement sabotage”  Health data and federal public health pages taken offline  The disappearance of major climate assessments from government websites  The shutdown of environmental justice mapping tools  How loss of public data impacts maternal health, public safety, and policymaking  Why fear, uncertainty, and nervous system dysregulation make men especially vulnerable to propaganda  The psychological mechanics behind the post-truth movement  How narrative control replaces evidence when public measurement is weakened Dr. John also brings in philosophy—yes, epistemology—to explain why understanding how we know what we know is no longer academic trivia but democratic survival training.Most importantly, he offers practical tools to stay grounded in a chaotic information landscape, including his CALM framework for “fact fitness”. This is not a partisan rant. It's a sober, evidence-based discussion about protecting shared reality in an age of narrative warfare. If you care about democracy, critical thinking, media literacy, public health data, climate transparency, and staying regulated in polarized times, this episode is essential listening. Because when facts disappear, whoever holds the microphone controls reality. And that should concern all of us.Want a Higher Baseline of Calm, Confidence, and Control? Start Here…

A Manifesto for Men Who Want To Heal Their Community Humanity isn't being destroyed by “the other side.”It's being destroyed by what happens to a human nervous system under threat.When men feel humiliated, stressed, or powerless, we don't get wiser — we get tribal, righteous, cruel, and certain. We turn people into villains so we can feel like heroes without doing the hard work of becoming one.This episode is a manifesto for men who refuse to become the problem.Not a political rant. Not a “be nicer” sermon. A blueprint for strength without domination, power without corruption, confidence without contempt.You'll learn: why certainty is a cheap drug that leads to dehumanization how to build friction between you and your worst impulses how to find the real emotion under anger (fear, shame, grief, loneliness) how to replace “good vs evil” with threat vs need why repair is the highest form of masculine leadership how to hold boundaries without hatred and tell the truth without cruelty Because the future won't be saved by perfect people.It'll be saved by enough men who can stay human under stress — and stop burning the village down.Want To Manage Your Nervous System?

Emotional connection is powerful—but is it enough? In this episode, Yue questions the idea that love can truly be “blind" but beyond just being physically attracted, and more about the general ease and connection you share in a physical space. Drawing from the TV show Love Is Blind (which she has gotten hooked this season), a recent experience with a friend of hers, and her own time in a"virtual" relationship before she finally met up with the guy in San Francisco, she explores why physical chemistry and nonverbal cues matter more than we admit. This is another reason to take the leap and go meet in person as soon as possible (even if the connection starts online).

The conversation begins with Kayla sharing her journey from being a youth pastor to becoming a foster parent, highlighting the challenges and joys of welcoming five siblings into her home overnight. Kayla discusses the emotional complexities of parenting children from traumatic backgrounds, particularly the grief she experienced when her father passed away just as her new children were moving in. The hosts and Kayla delve into the importance of understanding trauma-informed care and the necessity of regulating one's own emotions as a parent to create a safe environment for children who have faced significant hardships.As the discussion progresses, Kayla emphasizes the need for community support for foster families, sharing her experiences with both helpful and unhelpful forms of assistance. She stresses that love alone is not enough; foster parents must also be equipped with knowledge and resources to effectively support their children. The episode concludes with Kayla offering practical advice for future foster parents, urging them to meet children where they are emotionally and to be patient as they navigate the complexities of building trust and relationships. This heartfelt conversation is a testament to the resilience of foster families and the importance of community in the foster care journey.Follow Kayla on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/makingthemoffitts/Checkout our free trauma training workshop:https://americaskidsbelong.org/lp/trauma-sensitivity-workshop-training/Takeaways:Love is not enough; understanding is crucial.Meet children where they are emotionally.Community support is vital for foster families.Regulate yourself before attempting to regulate a child.Foster parents need tangible help, not just good intentions.

Have you ever felt so burnt out on dating you wanted to give up? This may sound counterintuitive but we're talking about how decentering men and dating could be the key to removing this dating exhaustion – and ultimately finding your person. We're talking with comedian Allison Goldberg about how she shifted her dating strategy to staying open to meeting someone but not making her whole life centered around it. We're discussing the difference of decentering vs not trying at all, how to avoid slipping into the line of heterofatalism, and tangible ways you can build an incredible life that someone is only so lucky to join.

America isn't having a political debate. America is having a nervous system collapse.We're living inside a culture that feels like fight-or-flight with a microphone—where fear becomes identity, identity becomes rage, and rage becomes normal.In this episode, Dr. John delivers a ruthless, practical framework for what's actually driving polarization: our collective “Director of Defense” is running the country—powered by shame, contempt, humiliation, and tribal certainty—while our CEO (the wise adult part of us) gets bound and gagged in the bathroom.Because what we're calling “politics” right now is a culture-wide pattern of fear + humiliation + contempt—a recipe that historically precedes three things:authoritarian drift, moral collapse, and social violence.And the most dangerous paradox in America is this: when you fear authoritarianism, you start sounding authoritarian. When you hate moral collapse, you start treating people immorally.You'll learn the CEO behaviors that stabilize culture at scale: how to stop feeding contempt (the most addictive drug in politics) how to model due process when your side is furious how to practice nuance as strength, not weakness how to lower threat so people can think again Your job isn't to be loud.Your job is to be steady—because the future of democracy is shaped by millions of tiny interactions… and you're in more of them than you think. If you want less extremism, less dehumanization, and less authoritarian energy, here's the hard truth:You don't get there by embarrassing scared people.You get there by regulating the room—starting with yourself.PODCAST LINKS FOR NOTES:Want a Higher Baseline of Calm, Confidence, and Control?

Send a textLove isn't built in the big romantic moments. It's built in the small, ordinary ones most people overlook. In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, the hosts unpack what love really looks like beyond attraction, especially after Valentine's Day. They share how meaningful relationships are shaped by daily effort, communication, and intentional connection rather than grand gestures.The conversation explores both the classic five love languages and a newer, expanded model that includes emotional support, intellectual connection, financial security, and practical teamwork. Listeners are reminded that love often shows up through everyday acts like helping with responsibilities, listening deeply, or creating shared experiences. The episode also weaves in personal stories about family bonds, parenting, and partnership, reinforcing that love is rarely glamorous. It is gritty, imperfect, and requires patience. A powerful takeaway is that the “little things” consistently matter more than the big things. When people intentionally show appreciation and presence in everyday life, relationships grow stronger and more resilient.Ultimately, this episode encourages listeners to look for simple ways to demonstrate love daily because those small actions create lasting connections.Resources mentioned:https://www.instagram.com/reels/DUynO0uEqbM/https://www.instagram.com/p/DUy29yTgX7F/?igsh=YnNtNnhxYXVlZ2dlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuuWEhT9P3AEpisode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(0:55) Post-Valentine reflections and Unblinded event discussion(3:47) Olympic headlines and trending stories segment(8:31) Why love matters more than anything(8:49) History and meaning of Valentine's Day(10:37) The five traditional love languages explained(12:18) The seven modern love language framework(15:10) Communication and intellectual connection in relationships(16:32) Physical affection beyond intimacy(17:31) Practical partnership and shared responsibilities(18:32) Everyday moments that build deep bonds(19:34) Love is gritty, imperfect, and intentional(20:24) Trust and respect as relationship pillars(22:04) Got Grit story: resilience through tragedy(23:55) Life is short, so love deeply(24:08) Song of the week and gratitude message(25:24) Outro Support the showFollow us: Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/ More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

Jonathan Pokluda (JP) joins Sadie and Christian for a wide-ranging conversation that goes everywhere—in the best way. They cover Christian's beard (and his tendency to “smack”), dating red flags, church hurt, “superstitious” prayers, awkward preaching moments, and the big question: is it wise to date someone battling a sin addiction like pornography? JP also shares about his involvement in a biblical matchmaking initiative called Qualified Date, where the goal isn't just vibes—it's lifelong marriage. The focus is on faith, community, and trusting God to connect you with someone truly qualified (yes, we're redefining your “type”). Known for breaking down big, complicated ideas with clarity and honesty, JP brings both humor and depth. He also shares a powerful health update after a nightmarish 17-day hospital stay that left him unable to walk. It's honest, hopeful, and the kind of conversation that might just change how you see dating, faith, and the people trying to set you up.

Impact and blame are not the same thing, and horses need our clarity far more than our guilt.

If you've ever looked at your partner in the parenting trenches and thought, “Wait… who are you—and what happened to us?” this episode is for you. Dr. John sits down with Eli Weinstein—therapist, no-BS truth-teller, and author of From I Do to We Do (out March 2026)—to unpack why couples drift after kids… and how to rebuild the “we” without buraning the whole house down. You'll hear the real stuff:  why new dads can love their kids but not always like them (and why that doesn't make you a monster),  how men get trapped between “be strong” and “be emotional,”  and what happens when a partner asks for feelings… then punishes vulnerability.  John and Eli also dig into the heavy reality therapists carry—especially with suicidal clients—and the skill of caring deeply without being crushed by it. The practical gold is Eli's “holy trinity” for relationship peace: expectations, perceptions, and reality—plus a simple daily check-in that prevents 90% of avoidable fights (Listen to discover this cheat code!). Add in “assume positive intent,” “treasure hunt” for what your partner does right, and a mindset shift toward rewarding effort over outcome—and you've got a blueprint for staying connected when life is chaos. Want a Higher Baseline of Calm, Confidence, and Control?

Most people say they want love, then date like they're configuring a device: height, income, politics, trauma level, texting cadence, therapy status, “emotional intelligence,” travel appetite—tick, tick, tick. It feels safe. It feels efficient. It feels like control. But love isn't mechanical. People aren't programmable. They have grey areas: prickly parts, warm parts, avoidant parts, tender parts, contradictions, history. A checklist can't measure inner world alignment, truth-telling, repair ability, or whether two people can actually build safety together. I unpack how romantic idealism can make you naïve—especially when you grew up in warmth and assume everyone else did too. Then reality hits: people don't always tell the truth, not always under pressure, and if you don't interrogate someone's inner world you end up in cycles that feel “mystical” but are actually predictable scripts. The shift is simple: keep your values, drop the robot requirements. Choose moment-to-moment evidence. Build the skill of doing things well with people—clarity, repair, accountability, warmth. Then create a vehicle for connection that's alive, consistent, and real. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#surrogacy #ivf #surrogateBrittany's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pavinourway?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Shelbie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/surroshelbie?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Most people ask the same question first: “Don't you get attached to the baby?” We take that head on with two experienced gestational carriers who explain, with compassion and clarity, how surrogates prepare, set healthy boundaries, and celebrate the handoff without trying to keep what was never theirs. The story here isn't about loss—it's about stewardship, respect, and the euphoria of seeing parents meet their child.We talk candidly about where real attachment lands: with the intended parents and the shared mission. You'll hear how early transparency, a thoughtful match, and clear agreements create trust from transfer to delivery. Our guests share why emotions run high at birth (and why those tears aren't about “giving up” a baby), how they navigated faith and family pushback, and the surprising reason many surrogates choose to do it again. We also explore the underrated power of closure—brief private time after delivery that helps a surrogate's kids say goodbye and marks the end of a profound chapter.If you're a first‑time surrogate, an intended parent, or simply curious, this conversation offers practical guidance: what to include in your agreement, how to set communication expectations, and ways to talk to your children in clear, age‑appropriate language. We highlight the role of supportive agencies, the strength of modern surrogate communities, and the difference between love, care, and parental attachment. By the end, you'll understand why surrogacy is less about possession and more about precise, generous care.Listen now, share with someone who still confuses love with attachment, and help us spread informed, human‑centered surrogacy education.

In this episode of The Evolved Caveman Podcast, we're not debating policies—we're talking biology.If you've felt chronically irritated, restless, impatient, exhausted, or weirdly numb and checked out, there's a reason: your nervous system doesn't experience politics as “ideas.” It experiences threat, instability, conflict, and unpredictability—and the last decade delivered a steady stream of highly stressful signals (read: big and little T trauma!).Not one trauma—thousands of hits. Big spikes and constant low-grade agitation. And men tend to adapt in predictable ways: fight (snap, rage, argue), flight (overwork, disengage, numb out), freeze (hopelessness, procrastination), or fawn (minimize, comply, “it's not that bad”).You're not weak. Your nervous system simply adapted.This episode gives you the reframe that ends the self-judgment—and a practical path back to safety, clarity, and agency: reduce re-exposure, re-anchor in the body, restore choice, and engage from regulation instead of reactivity. Because a regulated man is harder to provoke, harder to divide, and a hell of a lot more effective.(With a key insight from Terry Real: “If it's hysterical, it's historical.”) Quick listener promises:  Understand why politics can dysregulate you even if you “don't follow it”  Spot your default state: fight / flight / freeze / fawn  Learn why “more information” won't fix a body-level threat response  Get concrete reset steps to rebuild steadiness and agency Want a Higher Baseline of Calm, Confidence, and Control?

In this week's episode I'm diving into a raw and vulnerable inquiry of motherhood, parenting and how we can start bringing maturation into how we parent our children. Not just for mothers or parents, but for your relationship with your own parents. This is one of the most challenging topics because it carries so much within all of us. My intention is that in this episode, you can hear yourself and that it will help you not just understand more deeply why you are the way you are, but also if you are a parent, that it might liberate you from trying to ‘do it the perfect way.' We'll dive into how our identities are formed in childhood, the impact of who parents are being (not what they were doing), and a new, much more mature paradigm for parenting.

I think people assume if you've never had a relationship… it means:
You don't want one
You're emotionally unavailable
Or something is “wrong” And I used to internalize that. But the truth is… I've wanted connection. I've just been learning myself at the same time. And sometimes when you're still learning yourself… you attract people who are also unfinished emotionally. Which creates connections… but not commitment.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/talkbac-with-bryan-a-cooksey--2950437/support.

You can't change what you don't feel.Ever notice how fast anger shows up the moment you realize you messed up?You cut someone off in traffic.You miss something obvious at work.Your partner calls you out—and suddenly you're defensive, pissed, explaining, blaming, or shutting down.This episode of The Evolved Caveman Podcast is about that moment—the split second when your body reacts before your character ever gets a vote.Here's the uncomfortable truth most men were never taught:Those reactions aren't a failure of willpower, maturity, or intelligence.They're nervous system reflexes.In this episode, Dr. John Schinnerer breaks down why being “wrong” often feels like a threat to survival, how your fight–flight–freeze–fawn responses hijack your behavior, and why “just calm down” has never worked (and never will). You'll learn how shame disguises itself as anger, logic, withdrawal, or people-pleasing—and what's actually happening inside your body when it does.This isn't therapy-speak or pop psychology.It's real-world, practical clarity for men who want self-mastery instead of self-judgment.Inside the episode: - Why mistakes register as danger in the nervous system - The 3 protective states that drive defensiveness, shutdown, and people-pleasing - How to spot when you're reacting from self-protection instead of choice - What secure, grounded responses actually sound like in real life - A simple, actionable reset practice you can use in the moment - The golden rule: Regulate first. Repair second. Explain last (or never).If you care about your relationships, your leadership, or the kind of man you are under pressure, this episode is essential listening.Because emotional maturity isn't about never screwing up.It's about being able to tolerate being wrong—without attacking yourself or anyone else.Listen in. Sit with it. Notice your patterns this week—not to fix them, but to understand them.That's where real change begins.Want a Higher Baseline of Calm, Confidence, and Control? Start Here…
