Part 2In this episode of the To Be Better podcast, Chris and Peaches dive deep into a raw, unfiltered 20-year marriage story filled with childhood trauma, family chaos, serial infidelity, emotional cheating, open relationships, and failed poly experiments. They read a powerful email from a wife questioning whether she's still compatible with her husband after decades of betrayal, gaslighting, and weaponized empathy, and explore how trauma bonds, chaos addiction, and unhealed wounds keep people trapped in relationships that no longer feel safe. Along the way they tackle topics like alexithymia, ADHD, autism, nervous system responses, hypervigilance, and how undiagnosed neurodivergence can impact communication, trust, intimacy, and long-term commitment. You'll hear blunt, practical relationship advice on rebuilding or finally walking away: when to stop giving more chances, how to protect your peace, what emotional cheating actually looks like, how to set non-negotiable boundaries, and why “life experience over degrees” matters in real-world marriage problems. Chris and Peaches break down victim accountability, people pleasing, choosing stability over chaos, and how to create a truly monogamous relationship after years of betrayal. If you're searching for honest conversations about marriage, infidelity recovery, long-term relationships, couples communication, spiritual growth, and becoming a better partner, this is your episode.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

206 If you've ever read a marriage book, heard some relationship advice that seemed logical, or sat in a therapy session and thought, "Why is this so much harder for me than it seems to be for everyone else?"—there is a biological reason for that.Today we dive into what that is, and why a lot of traditional marriage advice just doesn't work for us as highly sensitive people. The truth is, most marriage advice does not take into account the HSP reality – our highly sensitive nervous systems and brains. So of course it's going to flop for us if we are not first respecting and honoring our physiological differences and needs.To expect traditional marriage advice to work for us is like expecting an orchid to bloom in a desert. It's not going to happen. So tune in to hear the top 5 popular pieces of advice that fail us sensitives, and what actually works instead – all illustrated with HSP-resonant nature analogies (sometimes some good old garden metaphors can really clear things up!)By the end of this episode, you're going to understand why, to thrive in your relationship, you don't need to try harder at traditional marriage advice's top down approach – like communicating with specific phrases– and that nourishing your sensitive system at the root level is what will make the biggest difference–and make the rest come quite naturally. What does that mean? Tune in to find out.  SHOW NOTES:Learn all about and join Hannah in Foundations of Emotional Well-Being For HSPs; The Root Of a Safer Marriage and Heart here. Doors close Feb 4th, 2026.

This video is a raw update on what it actually means to be a good man today, beyond polite “gentleman rules.” You'll hear a clear breakdown of ten core commitments built on ownership, discipline, emotional mastery, time leadership, and leading your home with real trust and respect, aimed at the man who wants his woman to feel safe with him, his kids to look up to him, and himself to respect the man in the mirror. Expect direct truth, practical examples, and accountability you can't outsource, no victim stories, no motivational fluff. The focus is men's self improvement that holds up in real life, becoming a better husband, a better father, a better leader, and a man who keeps his word, carries weight in his work, chooses solid brotherhood, and lives for purpose and legacy instead of comfort.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

This is stand alone content by Chris. Something I am doing on youtube, and decided to put them together here for you as well. Instead of  daily drops like I do there. I am putting it here in quarters. This episode series breaks down the first four principles of Miyamoto Musashi's Dokkōdō and translates them into practical guidance for modern men seeking self mastery, emotional regulation, and leadership in their homes and relationships. Through a grounded and direct lens, these principles explore detachment from unhealthy desire, acceptance of reality, freedom from dependence on pleasure or comfort, and humility in perception. This breakdown connects ancient Stoic and Zen philosophy with modern psychology, Adlerian responsibility, and personal accountability, helping listeners understand how internal discipline shapes external outcomes. If you are searching for content on Musashi, the Dokkōdō, masculine growth, self control, or emotional resilience, this episode offers a clear and applicable framework. The first four principles of the Dokkōdō are presented not as abstract philosophy, but as lived standards that expose ego, victim thinking, and reactive behavior. This podcast episode examines how attachment fuels suffering, how resistance to reality creates chaos, and how unchecked desire weakens leadership in marriage, fatherhood, and purpose. By tying Musashi's teachings to journaling, self reflection, and daily decision making, this breakdown challenges men to own their interpretations and take responsibility for their results. Ideal for listeners interested in personal growth, men's work, discipline, and timeless wisdom applied to modern life, this episode serves as both a mirror and a call to action.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Part 1In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches kick off Season 4 with real talk about what it actually takes to build a regulated, connected life and marriage. They share behind-the-scenes updates on their growing community, retreats, and content, including the upcoming “I Am Whole” women's retreat with seminars on feminine embodiment, devotional motherhood and wifehood, shadow work, nervous system regulation, and self-liberation. If you're craving feminine energy work, women's retreats, self-care, and practical marriage tools from a husband and wife who actually live this, this conversation sets the tone for intentional growth in 2026 and beyond. From there, they dive deep into a YouTube comment about a defensive husband with childhood trauma and unpack what “30 years of conditioning” really means, how reactivity forms, and how to talk to a defensive partner without blowing up the relationship. Using real examples from their marriage and a powerful email from a Patreon member in a 22-year trauma-bonded relationship, they tackle the hard questions: how to stop living in survival mode, how to break generational trauma for your kids, what the roommate phase really is, when you're just not trying versus when it's actually time to let go, and how to rebuild intimacy by choice, not by accident. If you've ever wondered whether to stay, leave, or fight for your marriage, this episode gives you grounded marriage advice, communication scripts, mindset shifts, and perspective on healing trauma in relationships so you can make a clear, conscious decision about your future.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

This is a raw, unfiltered breakdown of how modern media, politics, and digital platforms profit from fear, outrage, and division. The speaker walks through how traditional news, social media influencers, political parties, and algorithms all operate on the same business model, emotional hijacking. You will hear a clear explanation of why headlines are framed to provoke, why outrage spreads faster than truth, and how people are slowly trained to stop thinking, stop questioning, and start fighting each other instead. The video connects media manipulation to real-world consequences like broken relationships, polarized families, overstimulated nervous systems, and the loss of empathy and curiosity in everyday conversations What you can expect is not a partisan rant, but a deeper look at power, incentives, and accountability. The video challenges left versus right thinking and reframes the issue as people versus systems that benefit from chaos, debt, inflation, and distraction. It explores government spending, term limits, insider trading, lobbying, and currency devaluation while tying all of it back to personal responsibility, emotional regulation, and the ability to have honest conversations without hatred. If you feel overwhelmed by the news, tired of culture wars, or frustrated by how divided society has become, this video is designed to help you slow down, see the manipulation clearly, and reclaim your ability to think, connect, and engage without being emotionally controlled.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

We talk about this all the time on the Ultimate Intimacy podcast — emotional intimacy and sexual intimacy go hand in hand. You can't expect a strong sex life if you're not emotionally connected first.For most people, especially many women desire doesn't start in the bedroom. It starts with feeling heard, valued, and emotionally safe. If that connection is missing, sexual intimacy often disappears right along with it.That's why when couples say, “Our intimacy isn't where we want it to be,” we usually ask them how the emotional connection is, and most the time it isn't connected either.When you focus on listening, showing appreciation, spending intentional time together, and connecting without pressure, walls come down and desire naturally begins to return.And here's the exciting part... when emotional intimacy improves, sexual intimacy often comes back stronger than ever. Couples become more open, playful, and connected, and intimacy turns into something you both look forward to again.So if you want a better intimate life, don't skip the foundation.Build emotional closeness first, and watch every part of your marriage thrive.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

In this Season 4 premiere of the To Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches look back on how a joke became a career, a community, and a movement, then dive straight into real life: bonus dad dynamics, parenting an autistic and ADHD son, and intentionally raising boys to be respectful, emotionally regulated young men. You will hear stories about work ethic, chivalry, opening doors, and a powerful moment with a Vietnam veteran that drives home why traditional values and gentlemanly behavior still matter. They also pull back the curtain on Peaches' new affirmations project, future PDF drops, and the idea of an intimate West Coast couples retreat at Point Lobos, showing you how they build family, business, and community on purpose. The heart of this episode is a raw email from a listener who left an emotionally and physically abusive relationship after a 15 year marriage and a childhood soaked in man hating and feminist indoctrination that labeled traditional women as “weak.” Chris and Peaches unpack trauma bonding, why people keep going back to abusers, how percentages like “he's good 85 percent of the time” are delusion, and what it actually takes to walk away, grieve the fantasy, and rebuild self respect. They tackle modern feminism, traditional marriage, AI and the economy, the collapse of standards in dating, and the responsibility to raise the next generation not to tolerate abuse. If you are looking for blunt relationship advice, traditional relationship and marriage guidance, help healing from abusive relationships, or practical masculine and feminine polarity talk without fluff, this episode is for you.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

In this video, Chris breaks down the 6th Hermetic Principle, Cause and Effect, and makes it painfully practical for real life, discipline, and relationships. You'll learn why “nothing happens by accident” isn't about fate, it's about patterns, inputs, and the results you keep getting, even when you don't like admitting your part in them. He ties cause and effect to karma, habit loops, personal responsibility, and why victim mentality is a cause that produces predictable effects like stagnation, resentment, and feeling stuck. If you want better outcomes in your marriage, your mindset, and your day to day life, this is a straight shot to the leverage points. Chris walks through common marriage “chain reactions” like criticism, avoidance, broken agreements, lack of repair, and how those causes turn into distance, distrust, and dead intimacy over time. Then he gives you tools you can actually use, like a cause audit, lag time awareness, and a language upgrade using I statements versus you statements to lower defensiveness and keep connection while telling the truth.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

In this video, you'll learn the Hermetic Principle of Rhythm and how it explains the cycles you keep living through, the highs where you feel unstoppable, and the lows where you question everything. Chris breaks rhythm down as the “breath of life,” expansion and contraction, push and pull, growth and rest, and shows why your mood, motivation, money, creativity, confidence, and even your sense of purpose naturally rise and fall. You can expect practical clarity on why you suffer when you demand permanent momentum, or panic during an “exhale,” and how to stop letting temporary swings make permanent decisions. You'll also get tools you can use immediately, including a one minute breath reset, a two-plan method that builds a high tide plan and a low tide plan, and a no major decision rule for those moments when you're at the top or bottom of the wave. The episode applies rhythm to relationships, discipline, and relapse patterns, and finishes with a hard, direct segment on depression as an ego loop, identity fusion, and self-focused narration, plus how to interrupt that loop with usefulness, service, behavior, and small wins that rebuild confidence. If you've been stuck in cycles of intensity and collapse, this will give you language, structure, and a steady way forward.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

In this episode of the Hermetic Principles series, you'll get a practical breakdown of the Hermetic Principle of Polarity, the idea that “opposites” are usually the same thing on a spectrum, different in degree, not different in kind. You'll learn how polarity explains emotional transmutation, how to move from fear toward courage, anger toward clarity, shame toward humility, and how to stop getting trapped in all or nothing thinking. Expect real, grounded examples, plus an easy “ladder” method you can use to shift your state one notch at a time instead of trying to fake a total transformation. This video also takes polarity straight into relationships, attachment, and conflict, including the hard truth that love and hate can sit side by side because they're both high-intensity attachment, and that the real opposite of love is indifference. You'll hear a raw, useful talk on post-divorce obsession, rumination, and how to convert that energy into boundaries, rebuilding, and clean detachment, without lying to yourself about what you feel. It wraps with polarity in leadership and masculine and feminine dynamics, showing how strength and softness can coexist when you learn to control degree, not perform a persona.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

You will learn what the “shadow” actually is, why it is not evil, and how it shows up as overreactions, people pleasing, perfectionism, jealousy, shutdown, and that harsh inner critic that never shuts up. They walk you through the three layer model of trigger, meaning, and action urge, how your nervous system sets the ceiling for your insight, and why naming your parts, your stories, and your body sensations gives you your power back. You will also hear how shadow work ties directly into intimacy, why unspoken wounds get blamed on your partner, and how to start telling the truth about your reactions without turning it into self attack or character assassination. From there, they move into ten step by step shadow work exercises you can do alone or as a couple, including “the story I tell myself,” family echoes from your childhood home, trigger maps and care plans, resentment to request, ritual release, values to behaviors, and future memory scenes that help you manifest different outcomes instead of repeating the same fight in new outfits. You will get concrete scripts for naming your parts, asking for space without stonewalling, coming back with one clear request, using check ins, repair rehearsal, and parts dialogue so you can stop living in survival mode and start living as your real self.

Throw back to season 1 ep 11. In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches break down modern dating, monogamy, and why you should never enter a “committed” relationship if you still crave constant novelty and validation from other people. They unpack the difference between hookup culture, serial dating, and actually dating to marry, and they call out the mindset of “I just need something different” for what it is. You'll hear a raw conversation on monogamy vs polyamory, loyalty, sexual boredom, how to have honest conversations about sex and desire, and why you should not sacrifice your boundaries just to keep a partner who wants multiple sexual partners. They also walk through what healthy first dates should really look like, how to vet someone's character, red flags like being late, lack of ambition, constant victimhood, and why you should be dating to see if someone belongs in your life at all, not just to sleep with them.From there, they get into the hard stuff: how to communicate when you're hurt, how to ask “Do you want to solve or do you want to argue?”, how to use “I” statements without turning them into hidden accusations, and how to stop weaponizing pain in your marriage. They respond to real listener emails on first dates, blended families, stay-at-home motherhood with an overworked night-shift husband, resentment, lack of gratitude, and the brutal reality of poor time management and no boundaries. If you're looking for straight, no-nonsense relationship advice on healthy communication, dating to marry, masculine and feminine roles, standards, boundaries, and building a real partnership instead of living in drama, this episode will hit hard and give you practical perspective you can use today.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Disclaimer: We are not professionals. This podcast is opinioned based and from life experience. This is for entertainment purposes only. Opinions helped by our guests may not reflect our own. But we love a good conversation.In this raw 2 Be Better Podcast episode, Chris and Peaches read two powerful emails that hit everything from religious trauma and teen pregnancy to addiction, stillbirth, and slowly rebuilding a marriage after rock bottom. You will hear them unpack a deeply controlling church upbringing, running away at 17, getting pregnant, losing a baby, marrying young, and trying to heal while a husband battles drugs, grief, and a broken family system. They walk through mentorship for men, women stepping into real support instead of enabling, and what it actually looks like to build a functional marriage and family after chaos, including moving states, starting over, finding a healthier community, and creating a home where the kids are protected from generational patterns. From there they shift into a homestead marriage case study, breaking down a stay at home mom on 2.5 acres, a blue collar husband who works out of town, and the recurring fights that never seem to get resolved. They go deep on “you don't listen” versus “I don't understand,” love languages, why a wife can feel unseen even with great sex, how compliments and validation work for women, and how blue collar joking and passive aggressive digs about weight can quietly destroy intimacy. You will get practical, no nonsense communication advice, how to ask for what you need without disrespecting his leadership, how to stop bottling resentment, and how to align on parenting, money, work ethic, Roth IRAs, and long term plans for your kids so your marriage and homestead actually thrive. If you are a homestead wife, a blue collar husband, or a couple searching for real marriage advice, relationship coaching, and traditional values without the fluff, this episode will speak directly to you. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

Disclaimer: We are not professionals. This podcast is opinioned based and from life experience. This is for entertainment purposes only. Opinions helped by our guests may not reflect our own. But we love a good conversation.In this 2 Be Better Podcast episode, Chris and Peaches walk you through a full list of cheating apps for 2025, from “news” and calculator clones to secret chat apps, vaults, and full blown spyware designed to hide affairs. They break down how apps like disguised news feeds, private messengers, secret calculators, vault stock, private message boxes, and hidden photo folders actually work, including fake icons, decoy vaults, self destructing chats, and notifications that look like harmless news alerts. They also cover spying tools like Spynger, GPS spoofers, keyloggers, and screen recorders marketed as “catch a cheating spouse” apps, and talk bluntly about how dangerous this tech is when it gets into the hands of controlling or abusive partners. From there, the conversation shifts to what all of this really means for trust, infidelity, and emotional safety in relationships. You will hear hard truth on online cheating, porn as a form of infidelity, anxiety and BPD spirals, and why if you are tempted to install a spy app on your partner's phone, the real issue is that the relationship is already broken. Chris and Peaches give you a clear framework for when to leave instead of snooping, how to own your insecurity and start healing, and how to protect your kids from the dark side of smartphones with things like kid safe phones and simple tools like AirTags instead of handing them full internet access. If you are searching for “cheating apps 2025,” “secret messaging apps,” “how to catch a cheater,” “hidden vault apps,” or answers about privacy, trust, and boundaries in marriage and dating, this video will give you clarity, language, and a path forward instead of feeding your paranoia.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.
