The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Have you ever asked yourself: "My wife calls me 'nice,' but why does it feel like a subtle insult?" "Why am I constantly chasing connection, and how do I stop walking on eggshells?" "What does it really mean to lead in my marriage without being controlling?" If you've ever felt like, "I don't even know what happened—she just drifted," this episode is your wake-up call to reclaiming your magnetic masculine presence. Welcome back to The Dad Edge Podcast. This is Week 3 of our 4-part solo series called The Magnetic Masculinity Series—where we're unpacking how to attract your wife back, not through tactics, but by becoming the man she's instinctively drawn to again. In Week 1, we talked about resentment—how it leaks into marriage when we ignore the signs. In Week 2, we revealed the emotional weight she's carrying—the invisible labor that most men never see. And now in Week 3, we're diving into the Masculine Pull: what it truly means to lead with strength, not submission. Because here's the truth: she doesn't want a man who obeys. She wants a man she can trust to lead—not control, not dominate—but lead with clarity, strength, and grounded presence. Extraordinary marriages start here In this vital episode, we dig into: The Critical Difference Between Pleasing and Pursuing: Understanding why pleasing is approval-seeking and kills attraction, while pursuing is confident, directional, and inviting. Masculine Presence vs. Anxious Attachment: Learn to cultivate a calm, grounded energy that can handle her emotions without needing to fix them, creating safety and desire, rather than asking "Are we okay?" every time she's quiet. Rebuilding Polarity: Why Attraction Dies When Roles Blur: Discover how the charge between masculine and feminine energy gets lost when roles become indistinguishable, and why becoming more stable (not more emotional) is the key to reigniting that spark. This conversation offers the blueprint for becoming the magnetic man your wife is drawn to, leading with a quiet consistency that speaks louder than words. Here's what research and relationship dynamics highlight: Studies suggest that relationships lacking clear polarity or directional leadership often report a 30% decrease in passionate intimacy over time. Men who embody calm, grounded presence are perceived as 40% more attractive and trustworthy by their partners. When a man consistently takes initiative with empathy, couples report a 25% increase in feelings of partnership and mutual respect. www.thedadedge.com/friday213 www.thedadedge.com/mastermind Intimate conversation starters

If you're struggling with manifesting money, love, or success, it might be because you're spiritually blocked. In this powerful throwback conversation, David Ghiyam, co-founder of Mary Ruth Organics and leading Kabbalah teacher, reveals the ancient spiritual principles that govern abundance and why most people unknowingly sabotage their own manifestation. David breaks down: – Why your soul chooses specific challenges to accelerate your growth – The two biggest spiritual blocks preventing you from receiving abundance – How judgment creates karmic debt and keeps you stuck in painful cycles – Why competing desires sabotage your manifestation (and how to align them) – The spiritual flywheel: creating unstoppable momentum in 24 hours – How childhood trauma and family dynamics shape your vessel for receiving – The difference between punishment-based religion and true spiritual transformation This isn't your typical manifestation content. David shares profound insights from Kabbalah that explain why some people effortlessly attract success while others struggle despite doing "all the right things." He reveals how taking complete responsibility for your reality and transforming your spiritual baggage opens the floodgates to receiving everything you desire. Whether you're an entrepreneur, parent, or anyone seeking deeper fulfillment, this conversation will shift how you understand success, relationships, and your soul's purpose. #kabbalah #manifestation #spirituality David Ghiyam Instagram: @davidghiyam ==== Thank You To Our Sponsors!

In this episode of the Sex with Emily podcast, Dr. Emily teams up with Dr. Scott Lyons, a licensed holistic psychologist and trauma expert, to tackle one of the most common relationship challenges: when sex starts feeling like just another item on your to-do list. From exploring why intimacy can lose its spark to practical strategies for reigniting desire, this conversation gets to the heart of what happens when pleasure becomes obligation.

Whether you're hoping to improve your marriage, deepen your self-awareness, or finally feel safe in love, this episode meets you right where you are. Inner Child Healer Tami Schiltz joins forces with psychotherapist, sex educator, and relationship coach Christie Bemis to unpack the real reasons relationships feel stuck—and how inner child work can unlock lasting connection, communication, and emotional safety.

In today's episode, we're exploring intimacy - a concept that's far more complex than most of us realize. My guest, Erin Moniz, has been studying how we connect, disconnect, and misunderstand relationships in our current cultural moment. We'll dig into some critical questions: What does intimacy actually mean beyond romantic relationships? How have cultural messages - both inside and outside the church - distorted our understanding of connection? And what might a more holistic approach to knowing and being known look like? Erin brings a unique perspective as a college chaplain who's counseled countless emerging adults navigating relationships. We'll discuss how technology impacts our connections, why friendships matter as much as romantic partnerships, and how the gospel offers a different framework for understanding human relationships. This isn't a prescriptive how-to conversation, but an exploration of our fundamental human need for genuine connection. We'll challenge some assumptions about singleness, marriage, and community, and hopefully provide a more nuanced view of intimacy. So join us.Rev. Erin F. Moniz (DMin, Trinity School for Ministry) is a deacon in the Anglican Church in North America and associate chaplain and director for chapel at Baylor University, where she disciples emerging adults and journeys with them toward healthy, gospel-centered relationships.

Raising Independent Thinkers: Navigating Parenting Challenges with Wisdom and FairnessKey TakeawaysConsistency in Parenting: Establishing consistent rules across all family members can lead to better behavioral outcomes.Empowerment Through Choices: Allowing children to make their own choices fosters independence and critical thinking.Communication is Key: Proper communication between co-parents is crucial to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts.Consistency in Parenting: A Key to Harmonious Family LifeParenting is a complex tapestry woven with innumerable threads of discipline, care, and unconditional love. A central theme from the transcript is consistency in parenting, emphasized through the speakers' dialogue on meal policies and overall family management.Torya, one of the transcripts' speakers, sets the foundation with her shared family rules, stating, "I hold my boyfriend's children to the same rules which we haven't had any issues with until Friday night." This approach ensures that all children in the blended family are treated equally, promoting fairness. The lack of differentiation in treatment between her child and her boyfriend's kids signifies a balanced, non-discriminatory strategy that often results in fewer behavioral issues. It highlights an essential pillar of parenting: the need for rules to be applied universally, irrespective of biological ties.The discussion touches on the challenges faced by blended families, especially concerning new household rules and traditions. By sharing real-life scenarios, the transcript shows the potential complications and the importance of unifying parenting strategies across both biological and step-siblings. A consistent approach not only prevents feelings of favoritism but also nurtures respect for authority and boundaries.Empowerment Through Choices: Building Decision-Making SkillsAnother significant theme encapsulated within the transcript is empowerment through choices—an essential strategy in raising self-reliant children. This is explored when Torya offers the six-year-old options: eat the prepared meal or choose something simple he can prepare himself, such as cereal. As she adds, "I did not force this kid to go to bed hungry… he didn't want to make anything else himself," it highlights her intention to offer choice, not deprivation.This strategy encourages children to engage in decision-making processes from an early age, honing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. It's about gently nudging them towards autonomy within the safe perimeter of parental guidance. Rather than perceiving the refusal to make a separate meal as an act of denial, it is instead a teachable moment—an opportunity for growth and maturity. Such practices empower children, encouraging them to evaluate their preferences and consequences while subtly instilling the values of gratitude and responsibility.Decisions, even as simple as choosing what to eat, play a crucial role in developing a child's self-confidence and independence. Parents can foster a sense of autonomy in their children, teaching them the lifelong skill of making informed decisions and living with their outcomes. This approach arms children with essential life skills that are applicable well beyond meal times and into their future adult lives.Communication in Co-Parenting: Bridging the DivideIntegral to successful co-parenting is effective communication. The transcript reflects a scenario where lack of coordination between the boyfriend and Torya leads to a contentious situation. As Torya narrates, "This caused another big argument between my boyfriend and I… said I needed to change my way of thinking," it underscores the importance of being aligned in parenting philosophies.Proper dialogue between co-parents is indispensable. Sophisticated communication networks not only lay the groundwork for shared parenting, but they also prevent misunderstandings and mitigate conflicts not just between partners, but between parents and children. Open dialogues help establish a coordinated front, assuring children of a stable and harmonious familial structure. This coherence is foundational for children's emotional security as they navigate the complexities of a blended family.Furthermore, discussions following disagreements can lead to a more profound understanding between partners, fostering mutual respect and compromise. It allows couples to collaboratively build tailored strategies that account for each child's unique needs while aligning with the family's values and expectations. Better communication strategies offer a sustainable model as families grow and evolve, keeping the parents adaptable and united in their approach.In revisiting and analyzing these themes, it becomes apparent that the principles of consistency, choice, and communication are intertwined, each contributing to a broader framework for effective and empathetic parenting. Notably, each element builds upon the next, creating a nurturing foundation where children can thrive independently while feeling a part of a loving, cohesive family unit. The dialogue within the transcript transcends its specifics, illuminating universal truths in parenting challenges, particularly within the nuanced dynamics of a blended household.

Cities like Boston are even ranked among the loneliest in America.Dr. Gabe sits down with Kristal Kleer and Desiree for a candid, eye-opening conversation about the future of relationships—specifically, the growing trend of lifelong singleness among Millennials and Gen Z.

In this episode, we talk about how the Drama Triangle might be the hidden pattern keeping your relationships stuck in painful cycles. Whether you're supporting a loved one with mental illness or navigating difficult family dynamics, this pattern will keep you trapped in the pain instead of solving it.Stephen Karpman's Drama Triangle describes three roles that create and sustain relationship dysfunction: the Victim (feeling helpless and powerless), the Persecutor (critical and blaming), and the Rescuer (rushing to fix problems). What makes this pattern so challenging is how people shift between these roles, maintaining the pain while never actually resolving underlying issues.We identify places where we can spot the drama triangle in our own lives—from childhood experiences with divorced parents to adult relationships—showing how these patterns created confusion and heartache. These triangles often form because we're desperately trying to maintain stability, even when that stability is painful.The good news is that understanding these patterns gives you the power to break free. We explore practical ways to step outside your habitual role and ultimately break down the triangle entirely. Rather than seeing these behaviors as character flaws, we frame them as adaptations that once served a purpose but may now be limiting your growth and happiness.This conversation highlights how recognizing these patterns can help you create more authentic connections with loved ones struggling with mental health challenges.

In this episode of the Addict to Athlete podcast, host Blu Robinson engages with Gary Katz, a professional in the field of sexual addictions. They explore the complexities of addiction, particularly sexual addiction, and its impact on individuals and relationships. Katz discusses the spectrum of addiction, the stigma surrounding sexual behaviors, and the deep emotional wounds caused by betrayal. The conversation emphasizes the importance of self-compassion, understanding values, and navigating the healing process for both individuals struggling with addiction and their partners. In this conversation, Gary Katz and Blu Robinson delve into the complexities of healing from betrayal in relationships. They discuss the timeline for recovery, the importance of emotional literacy, and the challenges of reestablishing intimacy after infidelity. The dialogue emphasizes the need for couples to navigate trust issues, the dynamics of sexual desire, and the impact of conflict and resentment on intimacy. Katz highlights the significance of individual and couples therapy in fostering understanding and healing, while also addressing the societal pressures that complicate emotional expression, particularly for men. Takeaways Addiction is a form of self-abandonment. The stigma surrounding sexual addiction is profound. Betrayal trauma cuts deeper than other forms of addiction. Self-compassion is crucial in the recovery process. Understanding one's values is essential in addressing sexual behaviors. The partner's perspective is often overlooked in discussions of addiction. Shame plays a significant role in how individuals perceive their sexual behaviors. Healthy relationships require open communication about sexual needs. The brain often protects itself from painful truths, leading to denial. Navigating recovery involves addressing both individual and relational dynamics. It can take 18 to 24 months for healing. Healing is a personal journey; there's no race. Betrayed partners often seek knowledge to feel safe. Understanding betrayal trauma is crucial for recovery. Empathy is harder to learn than stopping harmful behaviors. Reestablishing intimacy requires patience and understanding. Couples need to prioritize their relationship amidst life demands. Conflict can be a sign of passion in relationships. 00:00- Introduction to the Addict to Athlete Podcast 01:00- Understanding Sexual Addictions and Their Impact 04:44- The Spectrum of Addiction: Self-Abandonment and Connection 08:26- The Deeper Cuts of Sexual Betrayal 11:20- The Stigma of Sexual Addiction 13:14- The Complexity of Shame in Sexual Behaviors 18:09- Navigating Values and Sexuality 21:12- The Partner's Perspective: Betrayal and Healing 27:59- Understanding the Healing Process 30:39- Navigating Betrayal and Trust 34:24- Reestablishing Intimacy After Betrayal 39:12- The Dynamics of Sexual Desire 45:13- Conflict, Resentment, and Intimacy 50:20- Emotional Literacy and Recovery Please join Addict to Athlete's Patreon support page and help us turn the mess of addiction into the message of sobriety! https://www.patreon.com/addicttoathlete Please visit our website for more information on Team Addict to Athlete and Addiction Recovery Podcasts. https://www.AddictToAthlete.org Join the Team!

Sadly I cannot respond directly to your text, so please Email me!Let's talk about spanking—again. But this time, I'm coming at it from a totally new angle that honestly blew my mind a little.In this episode, I'm digging into the idea of spanking as therapy (yes, you read that right). A recent conversation with my camp bestie got me thinking, and then I stumbled across a 2020 article that laid it all out—turns out, spanking can do a hell of a lot more than just sting. It can actually help you reconnect, release stress, and even heal.
The conversation covers a range of topics including current events, political dynamics, domestic policies, military standards, health initiatives, election dynamics, and cultural commentary. The host discusses the implications of recent political actions, international relations, and social issues, while also reflecting on personal anecdotes and societal trends.

Personal development is supposed to help you grow, but what if it's actually keeping you stuck? In this episode, we break down the hidden traps of self-improvement—where growth turns into self-sabotage—and how to move forward. What We Cover: The “I Need More Information” Trap – Learning without action isn't progress. Execution is where real growth happens. Perfectionism Paralysis – Waiting for the “perfect” moment? It doesn't exist. Progress beats perfection every time. The “Healing” Excuse – Self-work is valuable, but don't use it as an excuse to avoid discomfort and real-world action. Chasing Motivation Instead of Discipline – Motivation fades. If you don't build habits, you'll stay stuck. Hustle vs. Inner Work Conflict – Too much grinding leads to burnout, too much “inner work” leads to inaction. Balance is key. The “I'm So Different” Syndrome – Overcomplicating your struggles keeps you from progress. Success leaves clues—follow them. How to Actually Use Personal Development the Right Way: Learn, but apply immediately. Take imperfect action—don't wait for the right moment. Be self-aware, but don't get stuck in endless healing. Stop chasing motivation—focus on habits. Balance hustle with self-reflection. This episode is all about breaking free from the self-improvement cycle that keeps you stuck and actually making progress. If this resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it. And if you're enjoying the podcast, leave a review—it helps more people find it. Interested in working with a coach?
