In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein welcomes nonprofit leader, coach, and advocate Joan Garry for an inspiring conversation about how development directors and nonprofit executives can maintain optimism, motivate their teams, and rethink what fundraising success looks like in challenging times.Joan Garry is an internationally recognized champion for the nonprofit sector, an executive coach for top nonprofit leaders, founder of the Nonprofit Leadership Lab, and host of her own podcast and blog. With decades of experience across nearly every role in nonprofit leadership, she brings both practical strategies and heartfelt encouragement to the discussion.Together, Amy and Joan explore how nonprofit professionals can reframe fundraising from a stressful numbers game into an opportunity for donors to feel connected, valued, and part of meaningful impact.They discuss:Why development directors often struggle with discouragement when revenue sources shiftHow focusing solely on total dollars raised can create a harmful and unrealistic definition of successAlternative metrics to measure fundraising effectiveness, including donor retention rates, board engagement, and stewardship practicesThe importance of innovation and creativity in fundraising, with real-world examples of organizations trying bold approaches to meet urgent needsHow leaders can support staff through professional development, peer learning, and community support to build confidence and resilienceThe role of board members in donor stewardship and why even simple gestures from board leaders can significantly strengthen relationshipsPractical steps for reconnecting with the mission, “touching the work,” and finding inspiration that replenishes energy for fundraisers and leaders alikeListeners will hear stories ranging from a climate change think tank tapping into untapped expertise in Washington, to LGBTQ advocacy groups addressing urgent needs through imaginative funding models, to a legal nonprofit rethinking the concept of a capital campaign by focusing on “human capital.” These examples highlight what is possible when leaders are willing to experiment and redefine what success looks like.Joan also shares advice on how nonprofit executives can manage fear, support their fundraising staff, and avoid the trap of holding onto poor performance because of the myth that strong development professionals are scarce. She emphasizes the importance of professional development and investment in fundraisers, noting that providing learning opportunities is a powerful way to strengthen skills and morale.Amy and Joan both highlight the value of peer communities—whether through Capital Campaign Pro's weekly mastermind groups or the Nonprofit Leadership Lab's global membership network—where nonprofit leaders can share challenges, celebrate wins, and draw inspiration from one another.Whether you are an executive director, development officer, or board member, this conversation will help you see fundraising in a new light. By focusing on relationships, creativity, and inspiration, nonprofit leaders can foster resilience and optimism in their organizations even when external challenges feel overwhelming.For more free capital campaign resources, visit https://capitalcampaignpro.com/campaign-resources.

In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we (Nick and Amy) dive into a common concern we hear from many husbands: “Intimate Time Feels Like a Moving Target!"For some couples, intimacy seems to come with a long checklist such as chores finished, the house spotless, kids taken care of, emotional connection felt, and the right mood set... before intimate time is even an option. While those things can all be important, they can also leave one spouse feeling rejected, frustrated, or like intimacy is always out of reach.We unpack why these expectations often develop, how they impact both spouses differently, and what couples can do to find a healthier balance. You'll hear honest conversations about:Why the “checklist mentality” can create distance instead of connectionPractical ways to lower unrealistic expectations while still honoring emotional and relational needsHow to create an environment where both spouses feel valued and desiredWhether you've felt like intimacy is always “just out of reach” or you're the one needing certain things in place before feeling ready, this episode will give you insight, encouragement, and tools to bring more connection and fulfillment into your marriage.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.

Claim Your Brain: When Crisis Becomes a CallingA soulful conversation with Jocelyn Pepe for Women's PulseA few weeks ago, I had the honour of sitting down with author, mental health researcher, and wellness strategist Jocelyn Pepe on Let's Talk. Today, I'm thrilled to share the video of that conversation because this one deserves to be seen and heard.Jocelyn's story is one of grace under fire, of using adversity as raw material for transformation. Years ago, we sat at a conference together, talking about dreams, fear, and the desire to create meaningful change. She told me then:“I want to write a book that helps people understand they can heal and to remind them that they are not beyond repair. That their mind is powerful.”And now, she's done precisely that.Her book, Claim Your Brain, is not just a workbook; it's a reset for real people living real lives. It's for those of us who are quietly holding everything together while silently falling apart.In our conversation, Jocelyn shares the pivotal moment that changed everything: a traumatic brain injury that shattered the illusion of “doing it all” and forced her into radical self-awareness, emotional honesty, and deep nervous system healing.We talked about:Why anxiety and burnout are often symptoms of suppressed needsHow motherhood, loss, and perimenopause shaped her healingHer unique TrU Model of mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual wellnessAnd why the world needs more tools, and less shame when it comes to mental healthWhat struck me most was how Jocelyn turned her pain into purpose. And not just a purpose but a movement. There's a program coming out of the book, not just for adults, but for children, too.And to be a small part of that journey? It's one of the great privileges of my work.

If you're a parent of a highly sensitive child, you know that planning a simple trip to the park can feel like orchestrating a military operation. What looks like a fun family outing can quickly turn into hours of repeated questions, worst-case scenario planning, and emotional meltdowns before you even leave the house.In this episode, parenting expert Rachel Bailey joins me to share why traditional planning approaches often backfire with sensitive kids and what actually works instead. Rachel explains how sensitive children's brains are wired to assume threats in unpredictable situations, which is why your child might ask "What if I break my arm?" when you mention going somewhere new for the first time. You'll discover practical strategies for creating the structure and predictability these kids crave without letting trip planning take over your entire life.In This Episode, I'll Cover:Why sensitive kids assume the worst when facing unpredictable situationsHow to identify your child's specific triggers from past experiencesCreating "when/then" plans that help kids manage discomfort in new situationsThe three essential elements every trip needsHow to handle the 176th repetition of the same question without losing your mindPlanning transitions both TO and FROM events and travelDeciding which experiences are worth the extra effort and which to skipConnect with Rachel:www.rachel-bailey.comwww.youtube.com/c/rachelbaileywww.rachel-bailey.com/podcastwww.facebook.com/groups/RachelBaileyinstagram.com/rachelbaileyparenting________________________________

If you're listening on the day this releases, then tomorrow (6/25/2025) is our 42nd wedding anniversary! We can't believe that it's already been more than four decades since we walked down the aisle to say our “I do's”. Would you believe that our first big argument occurred on our honeymoon? We had a lot of good times in those early years, but they were also the beginning of some recurring conflicts and struggles for us. As we reflect back on 42 years of marriage, one of the things that has made a big difference in the health of our relationship is learning how to make requests instead of hoping, wishing, or hinting at what we wanted or needed. In today's conversation, we are discussing why this was a game-changer and how you can incorporate this practice into your own marriage. In this episode, you'll learn about:The importance of discovering your needsHow hinting and hoping can damage your marriageHow unexpressed expectations build resentmentAnd more!We hope this skill is as beneficial for your relationship as it has been in our marriage!Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/hint-hope-253Check out our other resources: Mark and Jill's Marriage Story Marriage Coaching Marriage 2.0 Intensives Speaking Schedule Book Mark and Jill to Speak Online Courses Books Marriage Resources: Infidelity Recovery For Happy Marriages For Hurting Marriages For Marriages Where You're the Only One Wanting to Get Help Mom Resources: New/Preschool Moms Moms with Gradeschoolers Moms with Teens and Tweens Moms with Kids Who Are Launching Empty Nest...

Romantic relationships are sacred, powerful, and life-giving. But I don't have to tell you how difficult it is to love and let yourself be loved.Marriage and family therapist Dr. Terry Hargrave has been helping couples in crisis restore broken relationships for decades, teaching them how to get unstuck, improve communication, and move beyond destructive coping mechanisms—to find reciprocity, self-affirming confidence, emotional regulation, and a joyful, lasting love.In a world marked by loneliness, disconnection, and emotional dysregulation, Hargrave offers powerful insights on the human need for identity, safety, and belonging—and how we can heal the wounds that keep us stuck. Drawing on decades of therapeutic experience and deep personal reflection, Hargrave explains how coping mechanisms like blame, shame, control, and escape can damage relationships—and how the peace cycle of nurture, self-valuing, balanced give-and-take, and connection can restore wholeness. He discusses his unique approach to the healing and restorative power of relationships, which lifts us up to our potential, encouraging us toward a nurturing, self-valuing, non-controlling reciprocity, and true connection.In this conversation with Terry Hargrave, we discuss:How to turn around a relationship in crisis and get off the emotional rollercoasterHow to build security and trust in order to improve or repair a marriage or long-term relationshipCoping mechanisms of blame, shame, control, and escapePractical steps to learn emotional self-regulationWhat to do when only one partner is working on a relationshipThe role of the brain and neuroplasticity in relational repairAnd the spiritual underpinnings of Terry's approach to restoration therapyEpisode Highlights"It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing—until you claim your belovedness for yourself, nothing will change.""Relationships are a mirror—we discover who we are through how others see us.""Blame, shame, control, and escape—nothing good comes from these coping mechanisms.""Understanding doesn't produce change. Doing produces change.""When we nurture, self-value, connect, and cooperate, unleashed joy happens.""Thriving is doing more of your best self, not learning something new."Helpful Links and ResourcesRestoration Therapy Training ResourcesThe Mindful Marriage by Ron Deal and Nan Deal (with Terry and Sharon Hargrave)Five Days to a New Self by Terry HargraveEmotionally Focused Therapy and Sue Johnson's LegacyShow NotesIntroduction to Terry Hargrave and the importance of Restoration Therapy today"We are still the same humans, but with a bigger pipe of problems and fewer emotional connections."Emotional dysregulation linked to identity and safety threatsRelationships as a mirror to the self and necessary for human thriving"For there to be a me, there has to be a thou."Why relationships are difficult: imperfection, wounding, and unmet needsHow family of origin wounds influence coping styles"Families don't mean to screw each other up, but somehow they manage to."Introduction of the four major unhealthy coping mechanisms: blame, shame, control, and escapeHow overachievement, perfectionism, and withdrawal are survival strategies from early wounding"Your greatest strength might actually be an old coping habit getting in the way of intimacy."The relational signs that coping mechanisms are damaging relationshipsHealing through self-regulation: speaking truth to yourself with love"Put your hand on your heart and remind yourself of who you really are."The difference between co-regulation and self-regulation in emotional healingRestoration Therapy's peace cycle: nurture, self-value, balance, connection"Nothing good comes from blame, shame, control, or escape."The role of practice and neuroplasticity in forming new relational habits"Doing, not just understanding, is what rewires the brain."How thriving relationships move from neediness to adventurous partnershipIntimacy as knowing yourself more fully through connection, not just need satisfactionCooperative growth and mutual flourishing as hallmarks of thrivingApplication of restoration principles to broader societal healing and reconciliation"Unleashed joy happens when we choose nurture and connection, even with adversaries."The critical role of faith in affirming belovedness and ultimate identity"Everyone else and even God can tell you you're beloved—but you have to claim it for yourself."Practical advice for knowing when to seek therapyWhere to find Restoration Therapy-trained therapistsResources for learning more: Mindful Marriage and other Restoration Therapy booksThe key takeaways that I will carry with me from this conversation are the following:You can change. Your relationship can change. But it takes a daily practice of hard work to create lasting change.And though you might fail, there is hope that you can begin again.Our coping mechanisms are not superpowers. They hurt us and the people we love.Understanding is not enough. Action and behavior has to follow for change to occur.[Any others?] It takes two to tango, but that doesn't get you off the hook from doing the work on yourself.And finally, a thriving relationship creates joy all around it, within a family, in a community, and it shows how personal relationships can change society.About Terry HargraveDr. Terry Hargrave.
