Age-gap relationships defy linear time. They produce relational paradoxes that neither culture nor psychology fully resolves. In conventional discourse, we treat age as a number, a simple demographic variable. Yet when examined through the lenses of consciousness studies (Hawkins), holographic reality (Bentov), dialogical exploration (Bohm), trauma theory (Rothschild & Carnes), and nonduality (Krishnamurti), age mutates into something far deeper: a psychological currency.

Dr. Rick and Forrest explore toxic relationships, focusing on how to identify and exit them. Rick talks about how positive traits like empathy, loyalty, and a sense of duty can keep us stuck. They then discuss common relationship red flags like lovebombing, cycles of idealization and devaluation, power imbalances, and what Forrest calls “the fuzz.” Finally, they talk about how people can increase their chances of a healthy exit. Other topics include developing self-trust, trauma-bonding, shame, and avoiding the cycle of “maybe next time they'll…” Key Topics:  0:00: Introduction 3:05: Why do good people stay in bad relationships? 10:02: Relationship red flags: the dark triad, devaluation, lovebombing, and the fuzz 24:17: How this shows up in Dr. Rick's practice 39:48: How to get out: building self-trust, increasing your options, and duty to yourself 1:12:33: Recap Support the Podcast: We're on Patreon!

Marketplace's Matt Levin visits a couple in suburban Sacramento who both use an AI-enabled pendant that acts as a personal assistant — and sometimes, a relationship therapist.

Disclaimer: We are not professionals. This podcast is opinioned based and from life experience. This is for entertainment purposes only. Opinions helped by our guests may not reflect our own. But we love a good conversation.In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches break down a raw email from a newly married wife who is already thinking about leaving her husband, and they do not sugar coat a thing. You will hear real marriage advice on the first year of marriage, resentment and the mental load, division of labor in the home, expectations around being a “50s housewife,” body image, fitness before pregnancy, and why “he makes me feel like a piece of meat” might actually be a communication and perception problem, not proof that your man is a monster. They unpack groping versus affection, why your feelings are not the full story, what happens when you keep score over chores, and how couples slip into the roommate phase when they avoid direct, honest conversations about needs, kids, sex, and respect. If you are searching for first year of marriage advice, help with housework resentment, or real relationship coaching that calls out your own part in the dysfunction, this episode is for you. The second half dives into the conversations you must have before having children, from discipline, religion, diet and holidays, to college versus trade school, public school versus homeschool, and what it really means when both partners want full time careers while expecting grandma to run childcare and schooling. Chris and Peaches speak directly to working wives, stay at home mom hopefuls, firefighters' families, and neurodivergent couples navigating autism and ADHD, challenging you to think about postpartum, special needs, and what happens when your support system fails. You will get practical questions to ask each other before kids, a reality check on how children intensify whatever is already broken in your marriage, and a push to build a marriage centered on service, ownership, and intentional parenting, not fantasy and convenience. This is unfiltered relationship coaching, marriage advice for women and men, and a must watch if you want a strong marriage and a functional family, not just cute wedding photos and a baby announcement.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

Join Dr. Mindy for an eye-opening conversation with relationship expert Jillian Turecki on what really happens to long-term relationships during women's midlife and menopausal transition.

It can often feel in our society, especially for stepmoms, like we have to live in our masculine energy in order to survive. Clinical psychologist Dr. Amanda Hanson wants to dispel that myth.  We'll talk about the importance of embracing your feminine energy, finding the courage to surrender within your relationships, tangible steps you can take to cultivate deeper self love, and the importance of getting curious when you're feeling triggered.  Connect with Dr. Hanson:  Instagram @midlife.muse www.amandahanson.com Get The Disengaging Without Disconnecting Masterclass www.jamiescrimgeour.com/disengaging  Work With Me. www.jamiescrimgeour.com/coaching  Get My Ebook -  120 Ways To Be A KICK-ASS Stepmom www.jamiescrimgeour.com/ebook  Episode Sponsors:  LMNT | My Go To Electrolyte Drink.

If your relationship is stuck in a painful communication breakdown, I want you to know you're not crazy and you're not alone. In this episode, I'm sharing how the right solution-focused therapy techniques can start shifting the energy between you, even if things feel really bad right now. I'm joined by solution-focused brief psychotherapist and author of Change Your Questions, Change Your Future, Elliott Connie, and we're talking about why endlessly analyzing what went wrong rarely creates the change you're craving. Instead, we look at how hope, better questions, and small, intentional acts of love can reopen doors that you were pretty sure were slammed shut: from a “hopeless” divorced couple who ended up with ten beautiful years of remarried life, to the quiet experiment of really studying your partner and giving them more of what you know makes them feel loved. Along the way, we wrestle with the hard stuff too: blame, “I'm the victim here,” boundaries vs. checking out, and whether you're people-pleasing or simply showing up as the kind of partner you want to be. As you listen, I'd love for you to ask yourself: If hope came back into this relationship, what would actually be different between us? And who do I want to be in that story?

My Communication That Connects training is where I take you deeper into the heart of this work: the real issues that drive conflict, the evidence-based do's and don'ts of communication that creates connection instead of distance, and a clear framework you can start using with your partner right away.  And if you're at the point where you're thinking, “We cannot keep doing this by ourselves,” I would be truly honored to support you more directly. At Growing Self, you can tell us what's going on, what you've already tried, and what you're hoping for, and we'll thoughtfully connect you with the right therapist or coach on my team. It's a private, secure way to say, “Here's what I'm struggling with,” and get matched with someone who can walk through this with you, step by step. You can begin that process by scheduling a consultation. You deserve a relationship where hard conversations are survivable, you feel heard and cherished, and love feels like a safe place to land.

On this episode of the Secret Life Podcast, Brianne Davis-Gantt dives straight into the reality of core wounds — the deep emotional injuries that quietly script our beliefs, reactions, and relationship patterns. She breaks down why every person carries at least one core wound and how these invisible fractures shape self-worth, attachment, and day-to-day behavior.Brianne walks through all twelve core wounds, from abandonment and unlovability to inadequacy and invisibility, tracing how they originate in childhood experiences or unmet needs. She unpacks the survival patterns they generate — people-pleasing, emotional shut-down, compulsive caretaking, chronic anxiety — and how those patterns keep us locked in cycles that feel impossible to break.She pushes listeners to confront and name their wounds, offering practical, grounded steps for healing: self-compassion, nervous-system awareness, and professional support when needed. The takeaway is simple but powerful: when you understand the wound, you stop letting it run the show. That clarity creates space for healthier relationships, steadier emotions, and a more honest relationship with yourself.

Pastor Michael discusses the experience of spiritual awareness in India and parallels it with Paul's feelings in Athens, where he was moved by the sight of idols and the spiritual blindness of the people, prompting him to act.

In this episode, we explore the quote, “People who live for one thing never seem to age.” What does it mean to have an anchor — a devotion that gives life direction and resilience?

In this episode of The Eric Coffey Show, Eric is joined by Danielle and Amy for a tactical breakdown on how small businesses can still win—even in a slow, uncertain GovCon climate. They share real-world strategies on how to secure meetings with federal officials (including the "red dress recognition trick"), why tenacity beats desperation every time, and how to build winning teaming partnerships by actually knowing your partners—not just swapping capability statements. From conference strategy, to LinkedIn visibility, to choosing partners you'd survive a six-hour road trip with, this conversation reveals exactly how to grow your GovCon network and pipeline even when the industry feels frozen. Key Takeaways Stop chasing — start showing up: Conferences, industry days, associations, and LinkedIn circles open doors faster than cold outreach. Build partnerships you trust: Choose teaming partners you actually like, know deeply, and communicate with often. Tenacity > salesiness: Relationships that close deals take time, consistency, and authenticity — not pressure.

Send us a textOld family dynamics can feel impossible to change, especially when you've spent a lifetime carrying wounds that never had the chance to heal. For years, my relationship with someone I love was distant, tense, and full of unspoken history. I never imagined that could shift… until it did.This week on the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm sharing how boundaries, emotional safety, and recovery helped me reconnect with my brother in a way I genuinely didn't think was possible. I talk about the internal transformation that made this reconnection happen and why healing often starts inside of us long before it becomes visible in our relationships.The key points I go over in this episode include:How people-pleasing shaped our relationshipWhy internal safety allowed me to show up differentlyThe impact of setting boundaries without guiltHow making amends opened the door to connectionWhat healing old wounds can look like as an adultYou don't need someone else to change in order for a relationship to transform. When you create safety within yourself, everything shifts. Healing becomes possible, honesty becomes easier, and old wounds finally have the space to mend.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive practical tools for living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

We visit Basel Dalloul at the Dalloul Artist Collective to discuss the genesis of the Dalloul Art Foundation and the mission of the new artist collective. A technologist and lawyer by training, Basel shares his family's journey into collecting art and the vision his father had for a Pan-Arab art collection in Beirut. They discuss how Arabism failed politically, but that culturally, the art from the region shows a great deal of sync and kinship, with artists empathizing with their Arab brethren. Central to the discussion is the role of art as an archive of history. Basel highlights the importance of Arab art as a reference site and how connecting artists from Morocco to Iraq reveals common themes that some may find inconvenient to tell. The conversation then shifts to the need to decolonize the art world, critiquing the tendency to celebrate Western art and seek validation from Western curators. Basel challenges the routine belief that Arab artists or art professionals are "not competent or good enough". He also addresses the broken global gallery system, which often dictates terms to artists and unfairly takes up to 50% of an artist's take. The mission of the Dalloul Artist Collective is to shift focus from the art to the artist, acting as an artist management agency to empower and educate the artist community. 0:00 Introduction2:12 The Vision for the Dalloul Art Foundation: Pan-Arab Art3:36 Relationship to Art Growing Up5:55 Shifting from Western to Arab Art Collecting8:45 Failure Is Not An Option10:47 Authenticating Art and The Lack of a Reference Site for Arab Art12:53 Organizing the Single Largest Private Collection of Modern Contemporary Arab Art15:05 The Kinship of Arab Culture17:57 Artists as Archivists of History19:46 Beirut: A De Facto Cultural Hub With No Taboos22:54 Critiquing the Celebration of Western Art Over Arab Art25:57 Dalloul Artist Collective: Focusing on The Artist27:18 The Broken Global Gallery System32:11 The State of Art Collecting in The Arab World35:56 Artists Basel Dalloul Adores38:02 The Need to Educate the Arab Youth on Arab Artists38:48 The Story Behind Ayman Baalbaki's Moulatham41:26 Empowering Artists with Transparency and Business Savvy Basel Dalloul Founded the Dalloul Art Foundation in 2017 to manage and promote his father's (Dr. Ramzi Dalloul) vast collection of modern and contemporary Arab art.

Basel has had a passion for art since he was very young, inspired by both his mother and father, whom are also passionate about art in all its forms. Basel also founded NOOR Group in 2000 in response to the Egyptian government's announced goal of becoming the hub of the information technology (IT) industry in the Middle East. As Chairman and CEO, he has set the overall direction of NOOR, bringing the first region-wide, full-service IT development program to the area. He holds a Bachelor of Science in finance from American University and a Juris Doctor and MBA from Georgetown University, both in Washington, DC. Basel also studied electrical engineering and computer science at Rice University in Houston, TX, and undertook comparative studies of American and British common law and procedural law at Oxford University in England.

In this remarkable conversation, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath sits down with Rabbi Dovid Eliezrie to explore UNdaunted, his newly released biography of the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, a hero of Jewish history whose courage rewrote the future. We journey through the Rebbe's extraordinary childhood, discovering how early acts of bravery shaped a leader who would one day defy empires and rebuild Jewish life across the world.Rabbi Eliezrie speaks of the Rebbe's profound influence on Montreal, from the spiritual infrastructure he inspired, to the seeds of community he planted that continue to flourish today. Along the way, Rabbi Eliezrie shares gripping stories, newly uncovered insights, and the human side of a leader whose love for every Jew was as fierce as his fight for our future.This conversation isn't only about the past, it's about the fire that still burns in us. The Previous Rebbe taught us to never bow to fear, never settle for less, and never stop believing in the infinite power of the Jewish soul.Rabbi David Eliezrie, a master storyteller, community builder, global Jewish leader, and the author of the newly released Undaunted, his monumental biography of the Frierdiker Rebbe, the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe whose life reads like a symphony of faith and fearlessness. Rabbi Eliezrie is the senior Shliach in Yorba Linda, president of the Rabbinical Council of Orange County, a senior advisor to JRNU, and a respected voice in Jewish life both in Israel and around the world.

Episode 437 of Friends Talking Nerdy brings Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd back to the mic for their month-long dive into all things Holiday, and this week they're tackling a topic that hits everyone right in the eggnog: Holiday Relationships.In this episode, the duo explores the emotional gymnastics we all perform when navigating family during the season—whether that family is the one we were born into or the one we lovingly assembled like a geeky, mismatched Avengers lineup. They dig into the pressure cooker of expectations, traditions, and old dynamics that magically reappear the moment you walk through the door. From managing long-standing tension to dealing with those relatives who treat political debates like a competitive sport, the conversation stays honest, warm, and grounded.Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd break down practical strategies for keeping interactions healthy and humane—things like setting boundaries without lighting the Yule log on fire, checking in with your own stress levels, finding small ways to recharge, and making space for empathy even when the room is already too crowded. They also discuss how chosen family can provide stability, joy, and sanity when the holidays feel overwhelming.To wrap things up, they share their Songs of the Week. Professor Aubrey brings “The Water” by Johnny Flynn, a reflective and beautifully layered piece that mirrors the emotional ebb and flow of the season. Tim counters with Warren Zevon's “A Certain Girl,” a punchy, playful classic that adds a little spark to the playlist.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Summary This episode of the Boss Business of Surgery Series (episode 208) continues the discussion on expanding emotional capacity, specifically focusing on how other people can help surgeons expand their emotional capacity. The host discusses how surgeons traditionally focus on improving skills and knowledge throughout their careers, but emotional capacity is equally important yet often overlooked. The host explains that emotional capacity refers to one's ability to handle the emotional ups and downs of being a surgeon, particularly the negative emotions that arise from complications or difficult cases. When emotional capacity diminishes, surgeons may compensate by overworking, checking charts repeatedly, or spending excessive time with patients, which reduces efficiency and effectiveness. The speaker outlines several ways that other people can help expand a surgeon's emotional capacity: Finding a community of supportive individuals who provide a grounded, safe presence where surgeons can explore their emotions without judgment. These could be mentors, colleagues, spouses, coaches, or therapists. Looking for role models who demonstrate effective emotional management in similar circumstances, and learning from their approaches. Finding safe spaces to be authentic and vulnerable, which allows surgeons to understand themselves better, including how their weaknesses are often the flip side of their strengths. Seeking people who will appropriately challenge and stretch them, recognizing that expanding capacity for positive emotions also expands capacity for negative ones. Learning when to take breaks and how to properly recover from emotional strain, while addressing underlying thoughts and feelings rather than just removing stressors. Connecting with others who help identify meaning in their work and celebrate wins together through practices like "positivity rounds." Developing self-compassion through mindfulness, recognizing common humanity, and speaking kindly to oneself. The host emphasizes that expanding emotional capacity allows surgeons to feel more deeply, recover faster from setbacks, and stay grounded during intense situations. The episode concludes with an invitation to join the Boss Surgery community, which provides a safe space for surgeons to develop these relationships and expand their emotional capacity. Chapters Introduction to Expanding Emotional Capacity ‎ 00:00:00 The host introduces episode 208 of the Boss Business of Surgery Series, continuing the discussion on expanding emotional capacity with a focus on how other people can help. The host invites listeners to find their community and mentions the opportunity to join bosssurgery.com for 2026 while starting immediately. Skills, Knowledge, and Emotional Capacity in Surgery ‎ 00:01:01 The host explains how surgeons traditionally focus on improving skills (techniques practiced repeatedly) and knowledge (gained through experience and reading). While these improve over time, emotional capacity can diminish, especially after complications that bring up negative feelings like worry, insecurity, guilt, and shame. When emotional capacity diminishes, surgeons often compensate by overworking, checking charts excessively, or spending more time with patients, which reduces efficiency and effectiveness. The Value of Expanded Emotional Capacity ‎ 00:03:36 The host discusses why emotional capacity is important for surgeons, allowing them to manage the big feelings that come with both saving lives and sometimes harming patients. Expanded emotional capacity enables surgeons to feel more deeply (both positive and negative emotions), recover faster from setbacks, and stay grounded during intense situations. The host references previous episodes on lion taming, explaining how staying calm and grounded allows surgeons to provide stable, unhurried, non-judgmental energy to others. Finding People Who Help Expand Emotional Capacity ‎ 00:06:34 The host describes how surgeons can find people who make them feel grounded and safe - mentors, colleagues, spouses, coaches, or therapists. These individuals allow surgeons to explore their emotions without judgment and help them work through difficult thoughts. The host also suggests looking for role models who handle stress and uncertainty with grace, and learning from their approaches. Even online communities can sometimes provide support, though they require sufficient emotional capacity to navigate. Learning from Role Models and Past Self ‎ 00:08:18 The host recommends identifying people who model desired behaviors and emotional management, then learning from their approaches. The host notes that surgeons can also look to their past selves as models, reflecting on what motivated them to become surgeons in the first place (referencing episode 2, "Why We Became Surgeons"). This helps surgeons reconnect with their authentic selves in safe environments where they don't feel defensive or competitive. Understanding Strengths and Weaknesses ‎ 00:10:53 The host explains how coaches help surgeons understand their motivations, strengths, and weaknesses. Importantly, weaknesses are often the flip side of strengths - understanding this connection helps surgeons learn about themselves during times of insecurity or threat. Finding people who help surgeons understand themselves more deeply makes them more individually capable. The Challenge of Stretching Emotional Capacity ‎ 00:12:08 The host discusses how high-achieving surgeons want to feel challenged and be at the leading edge of their capabilities. Using a bell curve analogy, the host explains that expanding capacity for positive emotions (thrilled, challenged, stretched) also expands capacity for negative emotions (shame, intimidation, worry). As surgeons push boundaries, they must develop strategies to recover from discomfort and remember why they chose this challenging path. Managing Breaks and Avoiding Burnout ‎ 00:16:23 The host addresses how to manage when feeling overwhelmed or "fried." Rather than simply quitting or taking a break without addressing underlying issues, surgeons should understand the thoughts and feelings behind their diminished emotional capacity. The host recommends finding moments of control and agency, even small ones, rather than withdrawing from stressors entirely. This might involve seeking perspective from others and creating literal space in one's emotional capacity. Balancing Achievement with Relationships ‎ 00:20:00 The host warns against the "addiction" of trying to be everything for everybody, which prevents surgeons from developing relationships that expand emotional capacity. These relationships form a safety net that catches surgeons when they fall. Without developing relationships with others and with oneself, surgeons chase highs without protection from the inevitable lows. Finding Meaning and Sharing Wins ‎ 00:22:06 The host discusses how others help identify meaning in surgeons' work through supportive conversations and sharing wins. The host recommends "positivity rounds" - actively listening to and recording positive things patients and colleagues say. Many surgeons miss these affirmations because they're caught up in their thoughts, missing opportunities to be reminded of their impact. Self-Compassion and Support Networks ‎ 00:24:03 The host references Krista Neff's concept of "Fierce Self-Compassion," which includes mindfulness (being present with suffering), common humanity (recognizing others feel similarly), and self-kindness. The host describes an advanced concept of using past and future versions of oneself as guides. The episode concludes with encouragement to connect with others, try positivity rounds, reach out for help, and consider joining the Boss Surgery community or seeking coaching. Action Items Host recommends finding a community that helps expand emotional capacity. ‎ 00:00:12 Host suggests visiting bosssurgery.com to join their supportive community. ‎ 00:00:27 Host recommends looking back at previous episodes on overworking as compensation, emotional capacity, prolonged stress cycle, and lion taming. ‎ 00:02:59 Host suggests identifying people who model desired emotional management and asking them about their approach. ‎ 00:08:18 Host recommends practicing "positivity rounds" by writing down positive things people say about you. ‎ 00:28:32 Host suggests reaching out for help when struggling by asking if others feel the same way. ‎ 00:28:49 Host encourages finding someone outside your relationships (like a coach or therapist) who can ask difficult questions without fear of risking the relationship. ‎ 00:29:02 Host invites listeners to reach out directly or visit bosssurgery.com for group or one-on-one coaching. ‎ 00:30:30

We remove the trash from our homes, so it doesn't begin to smell. We clean out the garage when too much clutter has accumulated. Maybe there are some people who need to be removed from our lives. 

When you remove alcohol, you reconnect with your real self — your needs, your values, your boundaries. You start feeling instead of numbing. You're clearer, more honest, more present. And naturally, the way you relate to people changes.Some relationships deepen. Some feel safer, more connected. Others feel harder, confusing, even misaligned. You might not want to stay out late. You might say no more often. You might no longer tolerate chaos, gossip, or emotional drinking buddies.You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to grow. Sobriety doesn't just change your habits — it changes who you are at the core. And when that happens, your entire relationship landscape shifts with you.Let's talk about it.Start your journey with our FREE course:⁠⁠ The Sober Girl Blueprint⁠⁠Want community?

Well, hey there. Welcome back. Redefining Friction: Physics vs. Process What does friction mean to you? For most of my life, friction has just simply described a physics concept in which something rubs against something else in some way, causing a slowdown and causing heat. But now, and now is variable depending on what sector of work you’re in. Friction describes the same thing, but it’s metaphorically for processes. And you know, I’m all about systems and processes. Intentional Friction in App Design Here’s an example. In the new app I created that allows you to get stuff done. When you add to-do items, you can actually swipe them forward into the future. So, if you swipe it to the right, it appears on tomorrow. There’s also an arrow that you can hit to go to the next day and the next day and the next day. So, if you want to place something, let’s say a week ahead of time, you actually have to hit that button seven times. Friction. And people could say, “Well, Mark, what if I want to push something 25 days into the future? I have to hit that button 25 times.” Correct. It’s friction by design. I want it to feel like you are putting it off all that time because if I didn’t do that, you could just type in a date or use a selector to grab a date and go there. It’s gone for a month and a half. Well, if you’re pushing something that far into the future, it should really be a calendar item. But if you’re pushing something into the future, it should feel like you’re pushing it into the future. In building this app, I learned a lot about intentional friction. I learned a lot about removing it, which is what I always try to do in any process I create. But I also learned about where it’s actually appropriate. My Typewriter: Friction to Prevent Failure I have a vintage Remington number 12 typewriter. I actually wrote my first story on it. And no, I’m not that old because it was created in the 20s and 30s. Every key is connected to a rather slender, thin piece of metal that has a little hammer at the end that matches the key that you hit. When you hit the key, it swings upward and hits the ink tape and creates the image onto the piece of paper. Now, on a piano, the keys do something similar. They have hammers that hit strings. On a piano, though, all those keys and hammers are parallel. You can hit as many keys as you want and they’ll all hit at the same time and not interact with each other. Not so for the typewriter. If you hit two keys at once, they will try to meet each other at the very top and they can get entangled. There’s an old tale about the design of the keyboard, which is the modern one we use today, being designed so that you would type slower. It actually was a designed to intentionally create a lot of friction and slowing you down. Well, so the truth is it’s not exactly like that. Yes, it does slow you down, but the reason being is they tried to separate certain keys so that you wouldn’t easily hit two of the keys that would smash into each other. Again, intentional friction. Identifying Unintentional vs. Intentional Friction One of the most exciting things for me is that when I’m introduced to a process, a system, whether it’s a person and how they conduct their life and try to get things done or an actual business and their systems in place is when I find unintentional friction. I find something in place that slows something down. They go down an avenue. They go instead of going ABC, they go A X Z B and then they come back to C and and we’re able to remove that and say no ABC. See, no more friction. But you have to respect the friction that’s in place because some of it’s intentional. Now, some of it works that it’s worked itself into it to be intentional. And you can look at a process and think, well, that’s inefficient. We’ll just do this. But if you remove the intentional friction, you can find that the system will actually break. Why Some Processes Need to Be Slow: Divorce & Marriage Let’s use another fun example. Oh, let’s say divorce. If someone wants to file for divorce, they don’t make a phone call. And then the people on the other end say, “Hey, thanks for calling. Why don’t you guys just pop down? We’ll take care of that.” The friction that’s in place typically is that you fill out a bunch of paperwork and then they place something on the calendar and they sort of hope that you don’t show up for it because if you don’t it gets removed from the calendar and the divorce isn’t even happening. That’s intentional friction to make it harder for people to just say, “Yeah, I don’t want to do this thing anymore that I said I would do forever.” I’m not in any way, shape, or form disparaging people who have gone through a divorce, but that is the system in place, and it does make some sense. And the same, of course, is true for marriage, for getting married. Now, granted, you can do drive-through marriages in Vegas and so forth, but that gets to something that I talked about in my podcast episode called become ceremonious. And when you have a ceremony attached to something, it slows it down and it makes it more important. It creates more friction. And again, your mind might be saying, “Well, that’s not a bad thing.” No, friction is not a bad thing. It’s a neutral thing. Just like the monsters and unicorns you may have learned about recently. As human beings, we have speeds. We slow down. We speed up. And again, there’s a podcast episode on the the speed of your life. And many times we talk about that. We say slow down, you know, take time to smell the roses and all that stuff, you know, apply some friction. Apply some friction, slow down and do that. Applying Friction to Relationships and Work One final example is the sword and the sunflower. It has a lot of friction in it. It It is a slow read. It’s a slow read because if you pay attention, you get a whole bunch of payoffs. When I wrote it, did I say, “Oh, I’m going to put some friction in here.” No, that was just the way it was written. Let’s talk about you. You may have some business processes in place or a way the reason or the way that you cook the way that you do. Or when you approach relationships with someone, you may introduce intentional friction to slow down the beginning of the relationship. So maybe you can savor it and enjoy it and make sure it’s the right thing for you to do. This may be applied directly also to new hires at your company where there’s a certain amount of friction to make sure they’re the right person for the job or even when introducing a new task, a skill, responsibility to someone in your workplace. There’s some friction involved in that. And you may be thinking right now, wait a second, there’s no friction at all. People are kind of like floundering. Maybe this is why people are floundering. We just sort of let them go with that. we don’t push back a little bit or apply friction. And you’ll find the paradox of like slowing something down in that way or applying friction can actually make it a better thing. And that’s one of the eye opening things of really discovering the friction in your life is when you discover the things that are slowing you down or in place intentionally. This intentional friction I mentioned and how what a wonderful thing it is. Taking Action: Evaluating Friction in Your Life So, as always, we raise your awareness about something and then we say, well, what are we going to do about it? And I would say the what are we going to do about it part is you should look at your life and look for intentional and unintentional friction. the way that you deal with your kids, the way that you prepare prepare meals, the way that you deal with your spouse or loved ones or friends, the the way that things are done in your workplace, the stuff you have control over, and the stuff you don’t have control over. And you may find that you are intentionally going around friction that you feel unnecessary in your workplace. No, I don’t fill that out. No, we just sort of skip that form. It would behoove you and give you a much more enjoyable life to remove the unintentional friction and respect the friction that’s in place. You may even find that, hey, there’s a place in my life where I need to put more friction. Now, if that sounds crazy, you could say, well, it’s way too easy for me to run to the refrigerator and grab that stuff that makes me not so thin. So, if there was friction between you and the refrigerator, friction between you and accessing that, then it would be harder for you to overeat or go off your diet.

Hey there, Joy Seeker — it's Jenn, and welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn! Regret is one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck after divorce — stuck in fear, stuck in indecision, stuck in shame, and stuck replaying the past instead of believing in the future. In today's episode of Find the Joy with Jenn, I'm diving deep into how regret destroys your self-trust and how you can finally make peace with your past choices so you can move forward with confidence, courage, and faith. You'll hear the story of a client who carried years of regret over decisions he made during his marriage — regret that kept him frozen and afraid to make any new choices. But when he learned how to release the shame, view his past with compassion, and trust himself again, everything changed. His transformation is a powerful reminder that God can work with any decision we make when our hearts are willing to grow. Inside this episode, we'll explore: • Why regret keeps you stuck in fear • How self-judgment destroys your confidence • A spiritual lens for understanding your past choices • What God actually expects of you (hint: it's NOT perfection) • A step-by-step framework to release regret and rebuild self-trust • How to move forward even when consequences are still unfolding This episode is filled with hope, scripture, truth, and practical tools to help you stop using your past against yourself. If you're ready to choose your future with clarity and courage, this episode is for you.
