Anya rings the alarm on stuff people don't think about before marriage that she learned from a divorce lawyer. Nikki and Brian have their own takes on lasting marriages. Nikki changed Brian's life when she told him to stop using Google for his searches and instead look on Reddit. After a hang with her mom, Nikki has a lot to say about getting plastic surgery, exposing her body and bodily insecurities. They remember the big butt trend, rate jokes that ChatGPT wrote in the style of Nikki Glaser and go through Nikki's Reddit Dump. In the Final Thought they dissect why some people can't move on after getting an apology and why they should. ——— Watch this episode on our Youtube Channel: The Nikki Glaser Podcast Follow the pod on Instagram for bonus content: @NikkiGlaserPod Leave us your voicemail: Click Here To Record Nikki's Tour Dates: nikkiglaser.com/tour Anya's Patreon: patreon.com/anyamarina Brian Frange: brianfrange.com More Nikki: IG More Anya: IG More Brian: IG More producer Noa: IG  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How do you get past your partner changing the rules of your relationship? Maybe they quit smoking when you first got together but then started again two years in. Maybe they gained weight and no longer care about a healthier lifestyle. Maybe you've had kids, and now they don't want to have sex as often, or they promised to be a stay-at-home mom and now want to go back to work? What do you do when your partner is doing something now that would have been a deal breaker before you moved in together or got married, so now you feel stuck? If this is you, you're in the right place because we're about to go deep about what this all really means. ____________________________ Show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/what-to-do-when-your-partner-changes-the-rules-of-your-relationship ____________________________ Looking for past episodes of the Relationships Made Easy Podcast?

There's a big difference between being controlling and being in control. Being in control is awesome. It means you're self-aware, confident, and have strong self-esteem. But being controlling is the opposite. It's an unhealthy sign that your self-esteem is rocky, and that fear is running the show. Today I'm going to teach you the three reasons you've got control issues and my top five tips for finding peace and security within yourself.  ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/what-to-do-if-youre-a-control-freak-like-me Grab my FREE Progressive Relaxation Body Scan: abbymedcalf.com/bodyscan Have you checked out my YouTube Channel yet?

In today's episode we are in conversation with dating and relationship expert Dr Kathrine Bejanyan.According to research, nearly half of US adults say dating has gotten harder for most people in the last 10 years. This has caused more than half of young people in America not to have a romantic partner, and the majority of those dating to express dissatisfaction with their romantic lives due to several negative experiences.Katherine talks about the challenges of today's dating world, common mistakes that people make and the frequent phenomenon of 'ghosting'. Dr. Kathrine Bejanyan  runs a private therapy practice focusing on relationships, which has helped thousands of people develop a healthier and happier love life. Through individual or couple counselling, which usually takes 8 to 16 weeks, she shows her clients how dating and relationships really work and how they can use this newfound knowledge to create long-term romantic relationships they draw strength and love from, not pain and confusion. Previously,   she worked as a Relationship Consultant at The Executive Club of St. James's, a high-end matchmaking agency where she helped clients gain a better understanding of themselves, their partner(s) and learn how to form true intimacy within their romantic relationships. She has a Master's in Counselling Psychology and a Ph.D. in Social Psychology, concentrating on romantic relationships. She is also an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy with a license as a Marriage Family Therapist from the US. Dr. Kathrine is also a highly sought-after speaker on relationships, and she has written for several magazines, including Huffington Post, as an expert on relationships.

When God heard the cries of His people in Egypt under the harsh rule and oppression of their master, he sent Moses to bring them a message of hope and comfort. He had a plan not just to bring them out of there suffering but to draw them closer to Himself. He told Moses to tell the people that He would rescue them and redeem them with an outstretched arm.He said, “ I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God, and you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who has brought you out from under your burdens…” [Exo 6:7 ESV]Praise God that our listeners and subscribers grow every year, BUT naturally, so does the cost.

Try me and know my thoughts!Sharing your heart with God is making yourself known. Does he know all, yes but he still desires us to make ourselves know. To present our selvws before himShow appreciation, thanksgivingBeing thankful for your spouse is the antidote against discontentment and indifference. Being thankful to the Lord draws us nearer to him and keeps us near to him.[Psa 100:4 ESV] 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!Recognize the cost - veil was torn to let us in …matt 27 50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.51 And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. Ask Him what he wants, his will[Act 13:22 ESV] 22 And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, 'I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'Asking your spouse what they want to do, or eat, or would make them happy or would fill them up.Repentance[Rom 2:4 ESV] 4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?God's love and kindness and patience is ment to lead us to repentance.Just like in marriage, true repentance from sins only build trust and intimacy.Having a repentant spirit, one that is not prideful or arrogant, will cause you to move toward God rather than away from himBe faithful - show up[Pro 20:6 ESV] 6 Many a man proclaims his own steadfast love, but a faithful man who can find?[Act 11:23 ESV] 23 When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose,But remember how God God is. Our love and devotion is based on His faithfulness not ours.[2Ti 2:13 ESV] 13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful-- for he cannot deny himself.Never stop believing, and ask God to help you with any unbeleife like the blind man Jesus healed.Know him, his ways and to Trust him[Psa 37:5 ESV] 5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.We must know what his word says in order to know him and trust him - take time to readSaying yes to him with opportunity that gets You out of comfort helps To trust himRomans 11:33 E"Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!" Worship and praiseMake worshiping a lifestyle,Music of coarseMusic can help us meditate on God's goodness and his word.Other creative avenues of worship - poetry, art, using your talents to honor himBut more than music and praise, worship is an act of surrender.Surrendering to him, submitting yourself before him.[Job 1:20 ESV] 20 Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell on the ground and worshiped.Worship is a heart posture of laying your life down before God. and recognizing that you are lowly and in need.Humility, reverence, awe.Dear Lord, Thank you for providing a way for us to have a real relationship with You, an intimate and close relationship. Thank you for tearing the veil and giving us a mediator so that we can stand in your presence. We pray we would worship you and honor you all the days of our lives. We pray we would share our hearts with you and pray often. Lord, help us establish a solid habit of prayer. Please help us pray with each other more regularly. We pray our marriage honors You. Please continue to draw us closer to You and help us to engage with you in deep ways  In Jesus' name AMEN!

Controlling people can show up anywhere in your life: romance, friendships, work, or your good old dad. Sometimes these people are well-meaning, but it's driving you crazy! They're always telling you what to do, and there are two ways of doing things: their way and the wrong way. They say they're “just trying to be helpful,” but you often walk away feeling resentful, frustrated, drained, or even depressed. Today we're going to turn that around!

He is a graduate of the University of Toronto Law School and is a founder of his own family law firm, JLEE Family Law.

Marriage Advice From A Divorce Lawyer Episode 314 - Marriage Advice From A Divorce Lawyer [00:00:00] You're listening to The Sex with Dr. Jess podcast, sex and Relationship Advice you can use tonight. Welcome to the Sex with Dr. Jess podcast. I'm your co-host Brandon Ware and I'm very excited. For today's conversation because we are gonna be speaking with Justin Lee, who is a divorce lawyer, gonna be giving us his take on relationships and relationship advice. [00:00:30] So we're gonna start right off. Justin, a Toronto based family and divorce lawyer. He's a graduate of the university Toronto's Law School, a founder of his own family law firm, Jay Lee, family Law. He practices all areas of family law, including high conflict parenting disputes, complex property issues, domestic contracts, and child and spousal sup. [00:00:49] Port, but you might know him better as the divorce lawyer or j Lee JD on TikTok and Instagram where he posts divorce related content to over 450,000 followers. I'm one of those followers, so am I. I'm one of 450,000 and I, I gotta say, I really like Justin's perspective, his insights on Instagram, so I'm excited to dive just a little bit deeper because of course you're getting short form. [00:01:14] Content on those platforms and it, it's interesting because I think everyone in the public eye these days, all the influencers, everyone has something to say about relationships, which I actually think is fabulous. I think it's really cool to hear so many perspectives. I do think the challenge is when people either pass off their experience as expertise. [00:01:31] Or assume that their experience can be globalized or is universal. That's when I get into kind of murky waters in that space. But, uh, Justin to me is the exception. I've kind of gone through all of his content I've been following for a while, and, uh, man, the relationship advice or insights really are really sound. [00:01:48] So I'm excited to dive a little deeper into this conversation now. Thank you so much for being here. Um, I'm a huge fan of your content. I have gone through all of your relationship advice on the [00:02:00] other end, and it seems like all of it is. Really sound, and I guess you have this super unique perspective as a divorce lawyer.

Grieving happens on small and large scales all the time.    We have our friend, client, and leader in the Sioux Falls community Father Paul Rutten in the studio to talk about a very important (and not so talked about) topic of Grieving.      (7:00) Father Paul backstory.    (14:00) Hardest thing about being a Priest.    (17:58) The backstory of the reason why we wanted to do this topic today about Grieving.    (31:25) Father Paul's POWERFUL story about his first memory of grieving.    (35:49) Chris's POWERFUL story about his dad and how he describes him after his passing.    (42:49) How to respond to kids that talk about dying early.    *********************************     Peace ✌

If you and I have been hanging out together for a while on this podcast, then you already know how I feel now about marriage canceling, I mean marriage counseling. So don't even get me started! Who even approved this topic for the podcast anyway? But there is one very specific kind of marriage counseling that I believe can help, which I'll tell you about. If you're wondering whether marriage counseling is worth it, it means you're looking for some relief and maybe some validation that you were abandoned, duped, or abused, like I did. I dragged my husband to counseling so that the counselor could fix him and I could finally be happy. Of course, that's not how you get the outcome you're wanting. And that's the real reason you go to marriage counseling, for the outcome. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we're talking about whether marriage counseling is worth it. Then, my guest Teresa was so exhausted from doing everything in her marriage that she became resentful and bitter toward her husband, who never seemed happy. She was committed to her relationship but felt like the only one who was struggling. Then she made a few pivotal changes, and her husband started to look at her differently. Today, the resentment is gone; instead, she feels loved and cherished. She's going to tell us how she did it so you can do it too.

Back in the day, I thought journaling was either for those crunchy granola types or people wanting to grab a teddy bear and find their inner child, so it was something I decided early on wasn't for me. But, like many things in life, I couldn't have been more wrong! The research has shown that journaling can reduce depression, anxiety, and negative thoughts while also boosting your immune system and physical health! And it's the cheapest form of therapy you'll find! I've become a convert, and I want to indoctrinate you too! Today, I'm going to teach you why you should be journaling and how to do it effectively.  ______________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/should-you-be-journaling Grab my FREE Journaling Prompts: https://abbymedcalf.com/journaling Looking for past episodes of the Relationships Made Easy Podcast?

Do you generally tend to put things off in your life? We are all familiar with undertaking some tasks that we are not too keen on. Procrastinating doesn't mean that you are lazy, in fact often the opposite is true. Many people's houses are the tidiest when an uncomfortable task has to be avoided at all costs, e.g. having to study for exams or having to have a conversation with friend, colleague or partner about their troubling behaviour.  Rather than being a question of laziness, procrastination is often more about avoiding the engagement with troublesome emotions. Procrastination is frequently driven by an an underlying anxiety:  that you cannot do something well enough or that the person you need to talk to might not react well. Procrastination is a form of avoidance: we avoid what we don't enjoy or that we fear. Procrastination is often linked to perfectionism. The underlying fear is that the task cannot be done well enough.  With procrastination the only way forward is to acknowledge the underlying emotions and to get going. This involves being able to tolerate uncomfortable feelings. How to break the pattern of procrastination? We discuss some strategies like the time management technique Pomodoro, that you might employ to break your habit of procrastination. The Relationship Maze courses:What is your argument style?

When you hear the term, Power Couple, what comes to mind? To me I think about a couple that is dedicated to each other and committed to building a marriage in which they know they can tackle every challenge that comes their way.  My guest today is Melanie Studley. She's been on our podcast before (check out the episode we did last year on how to talk dirty without feeling dirty or awkward). I admire how she's taken growth and development in her marriage so seriously. I'm inspired by her - considering how dysfunctional things were between her and her husband, and where they are now, it's like saying, “If THEY can make it, so can I.” Several things stuck out to me in this episode. Melanie emphasizes the need for systems and processes, the importance of giving both people in the marriage partnership their voice, recording your wins and struggles, and the value of consistency and persistence.   For more great content like this, check out the following resources: Next Level!: https://getyourmarriageon.com/next-level/ Next Level Loving Virtual Intimacy Retreat:  https://getyourmarriageon.com/next-levels-virtual-lovemaking-retreat/ Website: getyourmarriageon.com Instagram: @getyourmarriageon Fun and Sexy App for your Marriage: Intimately Us

The rates of Infidelity are rising in women. I chose to have Susan Shapiro Barash on to discuss this topic because she has studied women and infidelity for over 30 years. I do not condone infidelity and deception in a relationship. I don't believe it is a recipe for a healthy relationship. The purpose of this episode is to understand yourself better if you find yourself in this space and to help to prevent you from getting there to begin with. Susan has written a timely new book called, "A Passion for More" which is the culmination of her over three decades of research about today's women and infidelity.   Watch this episode in video format: HERE   Connect with Susan: www.susanshapirobarash.com    Connect with me: Dr. Zoe Shaw on Instagram Dr. Zoe Shaw on Facebook Dr. Zoe Shaw Website

I'm on a mission to end world divorce and know that you're with me! Now imagine how great it will be when the social norm is that couples stay together. I don't mean they suck it up and stay together in separate rooms for the kids. No, I mean they stay together because there's a culture that when you're going through a rough time, feeling lonely, discouraged, or unloved, there is also a stand for you that the two of you will make it through that rough time and get to the good times. Toward that end, on this episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast today's hot topic is the Ending World Divorce Update.  My guests today are eight women who once struggled in their marriages but used the Six Intimacy Skills™ and the Connection Framework not only to make their marriages shiny but also to become highly admired relationship coaches who now help other women fix their marriages! They have cooked up something special for you, which I can't wait to share with you! You're also going to hear their inspiring stories.

How open are you to finding out more about others or about the world in general? In today's episode we discuss the importance of being curious. Curiosity is a drive to want to find out more, to learn and to understand. Curiosity keeps us open rather than to get stuck in our assumptions that we know already everything there is to know. In relationships curiosity keeps you open to your partner and their perception of the world. Having a stance of curiosity enables you to gain a deeper insight into other people and to possibly avoid some of your confirmation bias as well as your underlying assumptions. Your curiosity can lead to new insights and deeper learning.Couples can benefit from setting time aside where they openly engage in a process of inquiry. For example they may discover answers to the following questions: what is my partner experiencing? Why are they getting upset? How do I actively contribute to difficulties in our relationship?  What change is needed here to improve our relationship? You can also engage in an appreciative inquiry where the focus is on what works well in your relationship.The Relationship Maze courses:What is your argument style? Find out in our short quiz.

Being married to an angry man is scary because it's unpredictable. It's only natural to make like a turtle and retreat into your shell because it can really hurt to get the brunt of his anger. Your brain works overtime thinking of ways to protect yourself, which is exhausting and stressful. It can also make you feel like you need to figure out how to keep him from getting angry. Or that you need to be a buffer between him and the kids. Or that you need to just get out! That's what I used to think too, but it turns out I was making some mistakes that actually made the problem worse, not better. On today's episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we're talking about the mistakes lots of well-meaning wives have made being married to an angry man. Here's what to do instead so you can make your home feel peaceful, calm and safe.   Then, my guest Rachel and her husband were getting divorced after 18 crazy years. She couldn't forgive him for his affairs and drug and alcohol issues. Then Rachel decided to read something that opened her eyes. The first time she tried the Intimacy Skills, it didn't work at all, but today her marriage is everything she ever wanted. She's going to tell us how she did it so you can do it too.
