Podcasts about personal growth

In this side piece episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, we pull back the curtain on our 124 page couples retreat workbook and walk you through exactly what we teach at our marriage retreats. You'll hear us dive into the masculine and feminine, yin and yang dynamics, identity, ego, self discipline, emotional regulation, and how your inner world becomes the atmosphere of your relationship. We read straight from the workbook Peaches built for our 2 Be Better couples retreat and break down chapters on conflict, leadership in the home, time and energy management, communication without assumption, and somatic practices for couples. If you're searching for real marriage advice, couples retreat content, masculine and feminine energy in relationships, or long term relationship tools that actually work in real life, this video gives you a front row seat to how we coach couples at our retreats. You can expect practical frameworks, raw examples, and a ton of journal prompts you can use with your partner tonight, even if you never attend one of our retreats. We walk through how identity and ego show up under pressure, why self regulation and discipline matter more than good intentions, and how to repair small ruptures before they become big resentments. We also unpack how masculine repair and feminine repair look different, how to stay connected when you're both exhausted, and how to build emotional safety so intimacy, affection, and sex actually thrive. Whether you're a married couple, engaged, or in a serious relationship looking for conflict resolution tools, communication skills, and journal prompts for couples, this episode is a full mini workshop on building a steady, intentional, “2 Be Better” kind of marriage.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

This video is a raw and unfiltered episode of Voice of the Broken, where Chris reads and responds to deeply personal listener stories about trauma, addiction, fatherhood, relationships, masculinity, and the slow process of rebuilding a life from the ground up. Through real emails sent by men who feel lost, ashamed, or stuck, this episode explores themes like ADHD, suicidal ideation, sobriety, generational wounds, failed relationships, discipline, purpose, and the power of small daily commitments. The conversation moves through childhood abuse, identity loss, porn addiction, toxic relationships, and the moment a man decides he's done lying to himself and starts choosing growth instead. Viewers can expect hard truths, direct coaching, and honest reflection on what it actually takes to change your life when motivation is gone and excuses are easy. This video speaks directly to men who feel broken but know there's more in them, fathers trying to lead better, partners questioning compatibility and growth, and anyone navigating self improvement, mental health, or relationship struggles. If you're searching for men's self growth, purpose driven masculinity, relationship advice without sugarcoating, or proof that progress is built one decision at a time, this episode will meet you exactly where you are and challenge you to move forward.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Send us a textNew year, new courage. We're stepping across the threshold with two clarifying questions—what is mine to hold and what is mine to let go—and using them to untangle people-pleasing, set clearer boundaries, and build a steadier inner life. A surprising health scare pressed pause and brought sharp focus to the survival patterns that once kept me safe, especially fawning: the reflex to merge, appease, and smooth over to protect connection.I share how I discovered fawning, what it looks like in everyday moments at work, home, and church, and why it's not manipulation but a nervous system strategy. We unpack detachment as compassionate clarity, not distance, and explore how small practices—breath, body awareness, short honest statements—help us move from automatic yes to thoughtful choice. You'll hear how trauma and memory shape quick reactions in the amygdala, and how unfawning invites a slow rewiring toward psychological flexibility, agency, and peace.Listen to E67, AutonomyListen to E149, Reimagining Our Personal Sense of AgencyRead more from Dr. Ingrid Clayton: FawningSupport the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Support the show: Your Donation Matters Leave a review and rate the podcast: WRITE A REVIEW Make a tax-deductible donation through Heartlift International Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

What if every time you said "I'll try," you were actually announcing you just weren't going to do it?Carla Ondrasik breaks down why "trying" sabotages your goals and why your brain literally can't process the word. This conversation goes beyond surface-level motivation into the neuroscience of language and accountability.What you'll discover:- Why children under two never say "try" until shame enters- What happens in your brain when you attempt the try test- How "I'll try" creates a grab bag of excuses with zero accountabilityCarla Ondrasik spent 25 years in music publishing before writing "Stop Trying," challenging one of the most ingrained patterns in modern culture.This week's challenge: Become hyper-aware of every time you say "try"—count how many times before 10 a.m.Resources:- Carla's book "Stop Trying": https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Trying-Discover-Lifelong-Greatness/dp/1637744129- Carla's website: https://stop-trying.com- Follow Carla on Instagram: @carlaondrasikReady to go deeper?

You'll hear raw, specific examples of how authoritarian control shows up in daily life, including censorship, the absence of independent journalism, and the consequences people face for speaking out. The conversation also connects Cuba's reality to Venezuela's collapse, inflation, and scarcity, then pivots into U.S. politics, including the way “social democracy” gets marketed and compared to Sweden. Expect a direct comparison of capitalism vs socialism, discussion of taxes, incentives, corruption, and why “free” programs still come with real costs, plus a warning about how fast oppression can replace freedom of speech once government power grows unchecked.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

Jodi Silverman's personal journey began with the realization of an impending empty nest as her children prepared to leave home. Finding herself with a significant amount of free time, Jodi recognized that her current work in her print business was not fulfilling.

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.
