Why do I have to feel bad for my partner to feel better? When does venting cross the line and become unloading? Guest host Ann Kelley joins us one more time to talk about power dynamics in relationships. It can feel relieving to unload your frustrations, but is it causing your partner to shut down? Or is the venting partner looking for some kind of feedback that they're not getting, making them feel like they have to keep unloading till they get a reaction? As always, there's not one answer, but we can offer a roadmap for how couples can start exploring this for themselves.Finally, if you haven't already, make sure to listen to episodes one and two of this miniseries with Ann and check out her podcast Therapist Uncensored as well as her upcoming book, Secure Relating.Quotes:“Its really hard to listen to pain and not attempt to change it.”Recommended Reading:Secure Relating by Ann Kelly and Sue MarriottSetting Boundaries that Stick: How Neurobiology Can Help You Rewire Your Brain to Feel Safe, Connected, and Empowered by Juliane Taylor ShoreShare your questions with us at whydoesmypartner.com/contactDive in deeper with us at our upcoming workshops.

Summary: We are ushering in the age of Spirit, the age of His rest through our relationship with Him. As we grow and mature in the Lord, we find that He gives us more responsibility, which in turn creates within us a greater cry and appropriation of His nature within us. Show Notes: His kingdom manifest more as we appropriate more of God in our lives. His kingdom is made up of relationships. These relationships are purified in the house of God. Right relationships in the Body of Christ usher in the kingdom of God throughout the earth. As we walk with the Lord daily, His kingdom unfolds before us. As we mature in the Lord we take on more responsibility to walk in our calling and destiny each day. With the demand of more responsibility comes the need of a greater appropriation of Him in our lives. Quotes: Its that Sabbath day that were ushering in the day of His rest, the day of Spirit. There's a level of the manifestation of His kingdom that's already happening in the earth. You got to see in the spirit that the kingdom of God is relationships. So the more of God in the men and women of God, the more His kingdom manifest. ...the kingdom of God is not going to come until we're ready to possess it. His kingdom is unfolding, as we walk with Him. If you believe, and if you know, your calling and destiny in God, then there is a responsibility that you have to walk a certain way before the Lord. Are you willing to appropriate the answers when you are faced with the questions. Scriptural References: Revelation 19:1 And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” Luke 12:48

Quotes: “Its really looking at toxicity from a different perspective. We are not looking at acute toxicity, were looking at this sort of slow, heavy rock on the chest of our health that is suffocating us and can lead towards increased risks of x, y and z conditions.” (17:10) “Some of these chemicals interfere with the very organs and the very processes that are necessary to deal with toxic exposures, so if we have chemicals that are interfering with liver function or that are interfering with these different pathways of detoxification, then we are sort of adding fuel to the fire.” (25:22) “It’s not just toxicity that are causing these issues, it’s just a piece of the conversation. So the crappy diet, the staying up until one on your cellphone and Facebook, all of those things are not helping either. Just being in this sort of fight or flight and chronic stress because of the world we live in, all of those things are certainly compounding together. But I like to focus on the toxicity part because it doesn’t seem like very many people are.” (30:54) “I really have refined this more and more over the years in talking to people and sharing this information and seeing how overwhelmed they get. I think the easiest place to start is what is free and easy.” (41:57) “At the same time when we are working on reducing what we are exposed to, we also want to amplify our ability to actually get rid of the things we can’t avoid and the things that are already in us. And this is where the everyday detox conversation comes in.” (52:51) Resources Mentioned: Follow Lara on Instagram Lara Adler Website The Smart Mom’s Guide to Essential Oils by Dr. Mariza Snyder Sign Up For The 14-Day Hormone Detox Here Other Resources: Check out the full show notes page Keep up with everything Dr. Mariza Follow Dr. Mariza on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube

Happy New Year and welcome to the first show of 2019! To celebrate the new year I am going to be joined by my husband, Craig Zielinski or ‘Z’, who is here to talk to us about women's strength training and hormones. Today we are recapping Craig’s discussion about women's strength and hormones at the recent Ancestral Health Society of New Zeland’s conference, as it is an incredibly important issue for so many women today. About Craig Zielinski We are diving into everything surrounding female strength training and understanding your basic menstrual cycle and how it affects how you may feel in the gym. Craig is bringing a rare male perspective into creating a training regime around your menstrual cycle and intuitive strength training for women. While you may not be able to go hard at the gym all month, Craig’s training program is designed to focus your training around those times of the month where you can go hard, and letting you rest when your body needs it most. Craig focuses around helping his clients feeling the best they can throughout the entire 28-day cycle. Get ready for a description of the 5 cycle training regime Craig has designed around the menstrual cycle, an explanation of the Prilepin chart, and why the lunar phases may be the key to better understanding the menstrual cycle, plus much more. If you are sick of feeling ignored or basing your training expectations of a spreadsheet instead of real life, Craig has a new and better way to adapt your training to be more intuitive to the fluctuations of our bodies. It is time to create a positive atmosphere around strength training by asking questions, thinking analytically and tapping into what your body is telling you. How has your menstrual cycle affected your workout regime? Let us know in the comments on the episode page! On Today's Episode Bringing in a male perspective on intuitive female strength training Dismantling the societal taboo around periods How to develop a training regime around your menstrual cycle Figuring out what volumes you should be lifting at different points during your cycle Why the lunar cycle can potentially be used as a heuristic for the menstrual cycle Quotes “Its incredibly important that women understand their own cycle, and it is incredibly important that coaches, male and female, but primarily from my perspective male, understand the female cycle” (14:10) “I’ve just objectively talked about a training cycle, but also about when a woman has their menstrual cycle, this is a good way of training around it. It's that straightforward.” (17:43) “The sort of primary underpinning construct of my entire talk was the lunar cycle and how the lunar cycle can potentially be used as a heuristic for the menstrual cycle” (23:30) “When you start getting used to a more intuitive way of programming, you carry around less weight on your shoulders of what you are supposed to be able to do (36:22) Resources Mentioned In This Show HTK 100: Steph + Z HTK 077: Dr. Stacy Sims Working Out with your Menstrual Cycle by Steph Gaudreau Strong.af Magic: The Gathering Pie Fights Check out the full show notes here!
