Why is dating broken?  Why are young men flooding back to church?  In this conversation, I sit down with Patrick Coffin: Catholic broadcaster, close-up magician, and host of The Patrick Coffin Show. We go deep on the real reasons relationships are falling apart: and it goes back further than you think. We cover:  → Why dating is a failed concept (and what humans actually need)  → The 3 "divorces" that broke Western civilization  → How your image of God shapes your attachment style  → Why empaths and narcissists can't stop finding each other  → The difference between emotional permanence and emotional impermanence  → What the Traditional Latin Mass has to do with secure attachment  → Why "spiritual but not religious" is code for "I don't want to be challenged"  → The biochemistry of feeling loved (oxytocin, vasopressin, and cortisol)  → How to repair after conflict: the skill most families lost 120 years ago Plus: Patrick performs a live magic trick that lands. This is the intersection of faith, neuroscience, and attachment theory: the stuff that actually changes how you bond.

Robyne was a high school dropout who believed she wasn't worth saving.  Then her car plunged through the ice, trapping her 20 feet underwater and changing everything. This is the story of how choosing hope became a strategy for survival and healing. I sit down with Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe, bestselling author and one of the most trusted voices on resilience. As a teenager, Robyne battled addiction, dropped out of school, and was hospitalized in an adult psychiatric ward. At 16, a near-fatal accident gave her a second chance she refused to waste. This is not a glossy comeback story. It is an honest conversation about becoming. Robyn shares why pain does not have to make sense to be real, why recovery is never linear, how stress can be worked with rather than feared, and what everyday resilience actually looks like. This episode is about hope, not as a feeling, but as a practice, and choosing to show up again when life feels overwhelming.     To find out more: Discover –  Pre-Order 'I Hope So: How to Choose Hope Even When It's Hard' Hope isn't just a feeling – it's the key to rewiring your brain for resiliency and well-being, even in the toughest times.

I believe in preventative health and today I am discussing my experience getting my second colonoscopy at the age of 53. The recommended age for colonoscopies is now 45 instead of 50. I think many people put it off because they don't know what is going to happen, so I'm going into detail (without sharing TMI) so you can feel prepared. I put my colonoscopy off for too long because I didn't have enough information, so I wanted to share what I know based on what I went through in case it helps you. Also, my first colonoscopy was incomplete. In this solocast I share what was different the second time around, including the anesthesia used and why I scheduled it for a different time of day. This episode is not advice. It is for entertainment purposes only. Anything dealing with your health should be discussed with your trusted healthcare provider, always. First Episode I did on getting a colonoscopy.

Hi friends, welcome back to the podcast! I'm thrilled to share this deeply insightful conversation I had with Stacey Uhrig, a Certified Trauma Recovery Coach who has a gift for breaking down the complexities of developmental trauma into something we can all understand and work with.In this episode, Stacey and I explore how our childhood patterns and core beliefs influence our lives—and how we can heal and transform them to find greater peace, joy, and connection. Stacey's approach draws heavily from Internal Family Systems (IFS), a therapeutic model developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz that looks at the different “parts” within us and how they work together—or sometimes in conflict—to shape our inner world.Here's what we cover:​What is Internal Family Systems (IFS)? Stacey explains how our inner parts develop as a response to survival needs, creating a fascinating internal system that's here to protect us, even if it sometimes causes us stress or pain.​Understanding Our Inner Parts: Stacey describes how these internal “managers,” “firefighters,” and “exiles” influence our behaviors, relationships, and decision-making.​From Trauma to Wholeness: We dive into how IFS helps us connect with our authentic self, clearing emotional layers and finding self-leadership.​Tools and Resources: Stacey shares her favorite books like No Bad Parts by Dr. Richard Schwartz and encourages exploring IFS-trained therapists or coaches for deeper work.This conversation was so healing and enlightening for me, and I hope it resonates deeply with you too.

In 2016, John Cronin was attending his last year of high school. Like every high school senior, he was trying to figure out what came next. John is a natural entrepreneur. He wanted to start a business with his dad. But what were they going to do? John thought about opening a food truck. But they ran into a problem: neither of them could cook. But then John had a “Eureka!” moment. They decided to sell crazy socks. Why socks? Because they're fun, colorful, and John loved them. If John loved them that much, they realized they could find other people who loved them, too.  John is not only an entrepreneur, but he also has Down syndrome.

Paula Pant graduated college having no idea that self-employment and entrepreneurship were an option. She got a job as a newspaper reporter for a small paper in Colorado. She started going to journalism conferences that covered print, radio, television, and freelancing. She dipped into some of the freelancing sessions. That's when she learned she could be self-employed. She worked at the newspaper for three years and wrote freelance articles in the evenings/weekends. She made far more as a freelance journalist.  She left the newspaper and became a full-time freelancer. Then she decided to build out Afford Anything, which started as a blog and newsletter before becoming a podcast. Paula's podcast is now an award-winning show with more than 28 million downloads. It was named by the New York Times as one of “7 Podcasts Your Wallet Will Love.” In this episode, she shares why her podcast has seen so much success, how you can learn to think differently about financial decisions, and why the notion of traditional retirement is antiquated.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...
