Fund conversations that matter: donate.accessmore.com Have you ever felt like you have anxiety but don't know how to reduce its presence in the moments when it's overwhelming you? If so, you are not alone and in today's episode Quinn teaches listeners that there is hope for utilizing your body to help calm and ground yourself in those anxious moments. In the episode, Quinn teaches listeners: One thought that is important for fighting back against anxiety Three senses you can focus on to ground yourself in an anxious moment One physical moment you can engage in to release dopamine in the brain Mind Renewal Tip: Anxiety often comes from feeling like you don't know your purpose or believing that having anxiety has become your only purpose. But as believers, we have the hope that our purpose is so much greater than our circumstances. Scripture Renewal Tip: If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. 1 Corinthians 13: 1-3 Resources: hubermanlab.com caltech.edu Social Isolation Transforms the Brain

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?

Criticism rarely, if ever, produces positive results.  The most natural response is to strike back.  Consider your words carefully.  Don't act out of anger or an attitude of revenge.  Consider how God would respond.

Fund conversations that matter: donate.accessmore.comHave you ever felt like you are having the same fight with your child or spouse over and over again? They say this. Then you do this. And then the cycle of conflict and frustration begins? In today's episode, Quinn offers listeners a remedy for stopping patterns of conflict within their homes by understanding: What negative sentiment override is and how it damages communication. The exact spot in the conflict pattern that you have control to change. The power empathy has in stopping a fight in its tracks. Mind Renewal Tip: The quickest way to stop a fight in its tracks is to show someone empathy for the hurt or frustration we are causing them. Scripture Renewal Tip: Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29

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! In this episode, you'll learn the six main categories of controlling behaviors and my top tools for dealing with each one.  ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/how-to-deal-with-controlling-people Grab my FREE Mindfulness Starter Kit: https://abbymedcalf.com/product/mindfulness-starter-kit/ Want more quick, actionable tips so you can create connection, joy and ease in all your relationships?

Anger, resentment, hatred.  That's a barrier to loving God.  Instead it magnifies and decays the relationship with Him.  There is a better way.  Listen and learn.

A frequently heard complaint in couples' sessions is deconstructed and discussed. Are there any bad people here, or are two people seeking to be seen and valued in different ways when there is an obvious disconnect re: sexual needs? What are the ways to meet in a mutually appreciated way, where boundaries are respected AND needs are acknowledged? And -- dare we ask -- what about pleasure?

Revenge can devastate and and destroy the one desiring it as well as the one to whom it is directed.  God's word clearly tells us "Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge, but love others as yourself"  Tough to do, but imperative that you look to God when you are in a place like this.

This episode addresses difficulties couples have in balancing their lives and ways this can cause conflicts but also loneliness and hopelessness in partners. It offers tools for couples

Pastors Zac and Ashley Lenz break down what's truly important when it comes to the sacred covenant we have made with our spouse. What do we do to fight for and protect our marriages? Topic Ideas - info@hpc.church 

Fear and regret replaces any joy experienced from getting revenge.  God instructs us to sincerely pray for those who cause you suffering and pain.  Pray that God will be merciful to them.  Take your eyes off your hurt feelings and focus them on God when you go to prayer.

In this episode, Scott and Vanessa talk about the power of self-talk and positive affirmation. They discuss the role that thoughts play in our beliefs and our actions.

So many adults lose sight of themselves as they seek to meet the needs of their families, children and employers. And while they want to have the capacity to give, they also realize they can't pour from an empty cup. In today's episode, Quinn helps listeners identify ways they are hard on themselves and then offers remedies to change this behavior so they can refill their cup and have something to give from a place of health. Specifically, Quinn teaches: What self-compassion is and how to use it. The faulty lie that makes people feel selfish for having needs. One daily practice to utilize to rebuild a sense of love and respect for oneself Mind Renewal Tip: Having needs doesn't make you selfish. It makes you human. Scripture Renewal Tip: Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12

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.

Hatred is very powerful, but God gives us the courage and strength to defeat it.  Listening to God and doing what is right can be a challenge, but there is no other way to approach a problem and establish a positive solution.

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?

Somewhere along the journey of life we experience rejection and disfavor.  Does your conversation with God offer an apology for your attitude, or do you refuse to accept that option.  God offers forgiveness to those who sincerely seek it.

In this episode, our fearless panel of four women dive into the world of pre-marital counseling and explore whether it's the secret to a lasting marriage.  Join us as we share our personal experiences, discuss the pros and cons of pre-marital counseling, and debate its importance in today's relationships. From communication skills to conflict resolution, we'll uncover the potential benefits of pre-marital counseling and help you decide if it's the right choice for you and your partner.

There are a lot of reasons for this reality that I talk about on this episode with Dr. Lawrence Steinberg.  Dr. Larry is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Temple University and author of several books on parenting. His new book, You and Your Adult Child: How to Grow Together in Challenging Times, was just published and is now available.

The host, Shane Birkel, interviews an expert in the field of couples therapy each week. Please subscribe to the podcast for more great episodes.

God looks at our motivation to forgive.  Is it given with the right attitude?  Step away from that attitude of revenge and ask God to show you how you should move.  Revenge does not come from you.  It is more powerful when it starts with an understand of what God will do.

Do you struggle with wanting to control situations? Some people struggle to hand over the reins to others because they believe their way is the best way to do things. But after a while, this habit tends to cause conflict in relationships and strain on the person seeking control because it's tiring. In today's episode, Quinn teaches listeners how to: Identify if they are struggling with controlling behavior The root of the need for control And one way of thinking that needs to be eliminated to stop controlling thinking Mind Renewal Tip We often think control is what brings up peace but often surrendering control is the peace we are looking for. Scripture Renewal Tip In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps. Proverbs 16:9

This episode addresses difficulties, people have with assertiveness and negatives associated with passivity. It looks at the root fear, but also solutions so people can live the life they want.

We all will at some time have come up against the cutting edge revenge.  Seeking revenge cuts you deeper than the wound you inflict on others.  God will act on your behalf.  Patience and a belief in this process is the only way to go.

More on this week's guest:  Jamal Jones is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Entrepreneur, Speaker and Coach. In his clinical practice he specializes in Marriage Counseling, Therapy For Men, and People of Color. https://www.centralvalleychristiancounsel.com/  https://www.facebook.com/centralvalleychristiancounsel  https://www.instagram.com/jamall.jones1/  www.linkedin.com/in/jamal-jones-lmft-4352579b    More deets on this week's episode:  We begin with hearing Jamale's definition of codependency, which he sees in behaviors like people-pleasing, difficulty making decisions, an inability to acknowledge and own one's needs, etc. Jamal describes codependents often live a life, have a mindset, and display patterns that are focused on pleasing others.  Jamal opens up about his own codependency as a professional in his former career. He emphasizes how, as a consequence to his codependency, he was vulnerable as a service-oriented, heart-oriented professional where he sought the approval of his boss. Like many of his clients, Jamal recognizes how he was depressed, anxious, afraid, and suffering as a consequence of his codependency.  We shift focus to Jamal's expertise with helping his clients define relationships. Jamal provides an example of a relationship evolving from dating to a long-term commitment. Similar to dating, Jamal encourages us codependents to define relationships in all areas of our life. He describes how we can start to define relationships by identifying what is important to us; by getting clear on who we are, our values, our needs, etc. Jamal suggests Stephen Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People as a start. In addition, he encourages us to be proactive and create a self-care plan to create actions to shift from being dependent to independent.  Thanks for coming on Jamal!

Can this be worked on with health in a relationship and result in improvements? Absolutely, yes. Can you change your partner's fundamental attachment style??? Well, now....time for some humility.

I've spoken previously about self-acceptance and self-esteem, and today we're going to go deep on self-love. We'll talk about the differences between these three terms (and how they relate), and then you'll learn my top five ways to cultivate self-love so you can start having the relationships and life you so richly deserve.  ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/five-ways-to-cultivate-self-love Looking for past episodes of the Relationships Made Easy Podcast?

Have you ever been accused of being negative about the state of the world? And despite not wanting to be pessimistic, do you ever find it hard to believe people are really good when you continue to run into people making decisions you don't agree with? If you relate to this struggle and want to find hope and encouragement about the world we live in, today's episode is for you. In it, Quinn focuses on: How to Change the Way You View that State of the World What you can eliminate to notice more positivity in your mindset.

You say you're going to start waking up earlier to have a healthier start to your day, but then you stay up all night binging Wednesday on Netflix and sleep through your alarm.

Self-sabotaging behavior can strike anywhere in our lives, leaving us feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, depressed and anxious. Today we're talking about what self-sabotage is and two concrete ways to go from self-defeating to self-winning.  ____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/self-sabotage-what-it-is-and-how-to-stop-doing-it Grab my FREE Mindfulness Starter Kit: https://abbymedcalf.com/product/mindfulness-starter-kit/ Enjoying the Relationships Made Easy podcast?

Protecting your home against pornography is an uncomfortable issue but one that should not be avoided for children and parents of this generation. Because every electronic device and every social media app is an easy avenue for your children to discover pornography and become addicted if they do not have the proper tools in place. In this episode, Quinn teaches parents how to: Begin gaining knowledge on this subject so they know what steps to take Start a dialogue with your child on this subject Change a child's perspective on this temptation that often causes shame and secrecy Scripture Renewal Tip Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:10 Mind Renewal Tip: We protect against pornography by teaching about it not avoiding it.
