Gregory Copley. The discussion centers on the fraying relationship between the U.S. and Canada. Copley explains how Canada is asserting its sovereignty by moving away from U.S. defense procurement, opting for Australian and Swedish technologies over American systems like the F-35, largely due to political alienation felt under the current administration.

Most men think attraction is something that happens to them (a switch their wife either flips or doesn't). Keith Yackey burns that idea to the ground. After two divorces, he built a framework around one brutal truth: you don't get what you want, you get what you are. If she's not leaning in anymore, that's not a mystery. That's a mirror. In this conversation, Keith breaks down the five dials every man is quietly failing (parent, partner, producer, player, and power) and hands you the exact language to rate yourself against them. We get into why scheduling sex builds more desire than spontaneity ever will, why "I did it for you" is the worst thing a man can say, and why the guys who stop chasing anything eventually get left by everything. This isn't theory. It's the same math Keith used to go from a 19 out of 100 to the best marriage of his life.

Relationships are struggling more than ever, and I honestly believe a lot of what culture tells us about love and marriage is leading us in the wrong direction. In this episode, I'm sharing some of the biggest reasons I think relationships fail today—from comparing ourselves to social media, to expecting marriage to fulfill us, to letting outside voices influence our relationships more than God's Word. I also talk about what the Bible says about marriage, why prayer and community matter so much, how comparison steals joy, and practical ways to build a marriage that actually lasts. Whether you're single, dating, engaged, or married, my hope is that this conversation encourages you to pursue God's design for relationships over the world's. ‼️Check out my collab with Ponyflo!

What if your relationship struggles aren’t just personal—but shaped by the systems you live in? Akilah Riley Richardson returns to explore how systemic trauma quietly shapes our relationships, nervous systems, and sense of self. Drawing from her work with marginalized couples, she introduces the concept of relational privilege and explains why healing cannot be separated from the social systems we live in. Together, Akilah and Sue challenge traditional Western therapy models, discuss the importance of “responsible externalizing,” and explore how therapists can create space for grief, imagination, and genuine connection instead of trying to fix what cannot simply be solved. “The experiences of marginalized people are often devalued even by helping professionals, and this text is my dedication to carving a space where we, as practitioners, can ensure that we are of service in a way that is rooted in the realities of our people. It is also a reflection of my obligation to marginalized couples and individuals. My sincere wish for them all is that they are never harmed in therapy but instead uplifted. ” – Akilah Riley-Richardson Time Stamps for The Hidden Weight of Systemic Trauma: How Oppression Shapes Our Relationships with Akilah Riley-Richardson (306) 02:05 The systemic trauma faced by marginalized couples 04:12 Barriers for global south therapists and voices 08:00 Fear, threat, and navigating space as a marginalized person 09:57 Relational privilege and systemic influence 12:03 The role of colonial Christianity in systemic trauma 17:50 The danger of model dogmatism in therapy 20:06 Neurobiological threat and systemic trauma 22:02 Practicing responsible externalizing in therapy 26:07 The grief of systemic trauma and loss 28:04 The limitations of evidence-based models 29:58 The need for imagination and community in healing 31:47 The concept of lostness and liminality in trauma 34:06 The danger of attachment to models and frameworks 35:59 Differentiating systemic from relational reality 38:10 Yoruba and indigenous healing traditions 41:59 The influence of colonialism and imperialism on therapy 43:53 Acknowledge systemic trauma in therapist self-awareness 49:57 Habits of survival and internalized oppression 51:52 The impact of systemic trauma on body and mind About our Guest – Akilah Riley-Richardson, MSW, CCTP Akilah Riley-Richardson, MSW, CCTP is a dedicated therapist, educator, and researcher with several years of experience.

Most men aren't emotionally unavailable because they don't care. They're emotionally unavailable because they were never taught how to process emotion, navigate intimacy, or move through the transition from boyhood to manhood. In this conversation, relationship coach and author Stefanos Sifandos breaks down why high-achieving men often feel disconnected, why success can become emotional armor, and how unresolved childhood wounds quietly shape our relationships, ambition, confidence, and identity.

Zach sits down with Alexandra and Rod Stockwell, married almost 30 years and both trained as physicians. They met in 1993 as first-year medical students, passing paper notes back and forth during lectures, and that early habit of asynchronous, patient communication turns out to have shaped everything that came after. Alexandra is now a relationship and intimacy coach and host of The Intimate Marriage Podcast. Rod still practices medicine and, in his words, is happy to support her work from just outside the spotlight.The conversation moves through the real mechanics of a long marriage rather than the highlight reel. Rod tells the story of what first drew him to Alexandra: not academic standout behavior, but her willingness to notice what everyone else in the lecture hall was too polite to say out loud, like asking a professor to turn the lights back on. From there, they trace how curiosity became their throughline, how personal growth inside a marriage compounds over time, and how a phrase like connection over content changes what a hard conversation actually accomplishes. Rod offers a simple, practical fix for the "heady" partner who struggles to know what a conversation needs from him. Alexandra shares a technique she once found genuinely off putting, literally timing how long she'd speak, and explains why it ended up building more trust and more freedom, not less.What makes this one land is that none of it is theoretical. Alexandra and Rod are open that every insight came from getting it wrong first, sometimes badly, and having their feelings hurt in the process. For listeners who've been together a long time and wonder if the spark is something you either have or don't, this episode makes the case that it's built, deliberately, one honest conversation at a time.Key TakeawaysCuriosity doesn't have to fade with familiarity. The early-relationship instinct to ask "what's your favorite vegetable" can be kept alive on purpose, decades in.Being curious about your partner has a side effect: it makes you more curious about yourself, too."Connection over content" means prioritizing how a conversation lands over winning the specific point being discussed.Naming the kind of conversation you're about to have (venting, logistics, brainstorming) before you have it prevents partners from accidentally having two different conversations at once.A technique doesn't have to feel natural, or even comfortable, to work. Alexandra found timing her own emotional sharing "disgusting" at first and kept using it because it built trust.Real intimacy is a form of emotional communication every time, not just during "big" conversations. What's underneath a moment matters as much as what's said.Marriage can function as a vehicle for personal growth, not just a container you maintain, if both people stay oriented toward it that way.The best advice in this episode was hard won. Every tool they share came from a mistake they made and repaired first.Guest InfoAlexandra Stockwell, MD: relationship and intimacy coach, host of The Intimate Marriage Podcast.

When you hear the word submission, what comes to mind? For a lot of people, it's control. Silence. Inequality. A woman losing her voice. But what if that's not what the Bible is describing at all? In this episode, we sit down with three Christian women who have lived out biblical submission in marriage and ask the questions people are actually wrestling with.No clichés or stereotypes, just an honest conversation about what Scripture teaches and what it looks like in real life.We talk about why submission has become one of the most misunderstood ideas in Christianity and why God's design is far more beautiful than most people realize.We'll talk about:- What biblical submission actually is and what it isn't- Why Ephesians 5 begins with “submit to one another”- Whether submission means a woman loses her voice or identity- What submission looks like during real disagreements- How to respond when your husband isn't leading well- Where the line is between honoring your husband and saying “no”- Whether the trad wife movement is biblical or just an aesthetic- What submission looks like when the wife earns more, leads more, or is more spiritually mature- How to know if a man is actually worthy of your trust before marriage- Whether submission has any place in dating and engagement- Why God's design for marriage is meant to help both husband and wife flourishThis isn't a conversation about making women smaller. It's about understanding God's design well enough to discover the freedom that's actually inside it.Whether you're married, dating, engaged, or simply trying to understand what the Bible teaches, we hope this conversation brings clarity to one of the most debated topics in Christian relationships.Let's talk about it

What if some of the desires we interpret as sexual are also expressions of a deeper longing for affection, belonging, emotional safety and genuine connection?In this episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, Tobi speaks with college media instructor, award-winning author and conflict-resolution graduate Karl Beckstrand. Karl is the author of dozens of books, including Abundant Paths: Beyond Either/Or Thinking to Fulfilling Same-Sex Relationships That Last.Karl shares his personal journey of wrestling with sexual desire, loneliness, identity, faith and the search for lasting emotional fulfilment. He explains what he calls “the paradox of sex” and how removing a sexual agenda from some relationships helped him experience greater trust, bonding and emotional intimacy.This is not a conversation against sex. It is an invitation to look beneath sexual attraction and ask what emotional need may be seeking attention.Chapters00:00 – Exploring sex, love and fulfilling relationships00:20 – Karl's background and the inspiration for Abundant Paths01:09 – Early exposure to sexual ideas and personal struggles02:08 – How removing a sexual agenda changed Karl's relationships03:16 – Principles for lasting and fulfilling relationships04:16 – Recognising the desire to regain control05:29 – Faith, identity and honest self-expression06:34 – Vulnerability, honesty and the development of trust08:15 – The relationship between sex and emotional needs09:23 – What libido may reveal about emotional well-being10:31 – Meeting emotional needs through genuine connection11:36 – Creating lasting bonds without sex12:59 – Communicating honestly about attraction13:24 – Why one partner cannot meet every need14:37 – Developing meaningful relationships beyond romance15:11 – Trust and emotional boundaries16:40 – Friendships and concerns about emotional infidelity18:14 – Applying these insights to different relationships19:41 – Karl's perspective on fluidity in attraction and identity21:39 – Distinguishing attraction from sexual desire23:33 – Finding an authentic identity beyond labels25:07 – Reflecting on Karl's past and present relationships26:35 – Meeting emotional needs beyond sexual connection29:19 – Faith, diverse attractions and the love of God31:02 – How to connect and work with Karl31:46 – Embracing your uniqueness and experiencing joyAbout Karl BeckstrandKarl Beckstrand is a college media instructor, speaker, publisher and award-winning author.

In this video, Brandy shares powerful insights to help you transform and heal your relationships love and physical health. Also, if you'd like to go deeper, there is a free Free Mind-body Healing training deep dive training you can access here. https://brandygillmore.com/mind-body-training If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, or feeling torn between honoring yourself and maintaining healthy relationships, this episode offers a refreshing perspective. Brandy explores why simply trying to stop people-pleasing or forcing yourself to say "no" may not create the healing, connection, or freedom you're looking for—and how focusing only on the behavior can sometimes create even more tension and disconnection. In this powerful IQ episode, Brandy reveals what may actually be happening beneath the people-pleasing pattern and explains how true transformation comes from addressing the deeper emotional dynamics involved. Rather than creating cold or defensive boundaries, you'll discover how to honor yourself while remaining loving, thoughtful, and genuinely connected to others. In this episode, you'll discover: Why common advice about people-pleasing can sometimes backfire The important issue that may be overlooked when trying to change this pattern Why setting boundaries do not need to feel cold, harsh, or disconnected How to honor yourself while remaining loving and thoughtful How to create relationships with greater sweetness, reciprocity, and genuine connection When you shift this pattern at its core, you can learn to say no when needed, care for yourself in a healthy way, and create relationships that feel more loving, harmonious, and deeply fulfilling. The goal isn't to become less loving—it's to create a healthier way of loving both yourself and others. -- Important Note: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not a replacement for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Is the rise of the independent woman responsible for a decrease in dating success? "Charisma Quotient" host Kimmy Seltzer returns to unpack why so many accomplished women struggle to find lasting love despite having everything else figured out. From flirting and feminine energy to dating confidence and modern relationship dynamics, this episode challenges conventional dating advice while offering practical strategies for creating genuine connection. Whether you're newly single, divorced, or simply tired of dating apps, Kimmy and Brian will change the way you think about attraction and relationships.

“HORROR HEARTS ACTIVATED” What if fear does not merely warn the heart, but becomes the drug that keeps its identity alive? A fear-governed person may crave love while depending upon threat. Anxiety scans the future, memory edits the present, shame protects the mask, and perception turns possibility into evidence. The partner becomes a screen upon which the nervous system projects horror. This is where fear can become addictive. Not as a formal diagnosis, but as dependence upon activation, suspicion, and emergency. Fear supplies intensity. Intensity feels familiar. Familiarity gets mistaken for truth. Peace feels empty, consistency feels suspicious, and love feels invasive because it approaches the self beneath the performance. What protects that self? Lying and control. The lie preserves the mask. Control manages the witness. We conceal what might change another person's view, then restrict freedom so they cannot discover what concealment protects. We edit motives, feelings, and intentions. We call the editing privacy. We call the control standards. We call hypervigilance intuition. Fear recruits intelligence to defend the prison while convincing the prisoner that bars equal safety. The horror begins when these protections create what they predicted. Surveillance breeds secrecy. Testing breeds exhaustion. Possession breeds rebellion. Withdrawal breeds abandonment. Fear points toward the wreckage and claims prophecy. Does addiction to fear produce incessant lying and control? It can, whenever truth threatens the mask and freedom threatens the fear-built identity. The monster may be the system created to prevent us from being seen, loved, changed, and exposed to ourselves.

In this week's 5 Tips episode, I challenge five common pieces of relationship advice that I don't see the same way anymore. Some have been passed down for generations, while others have exploded on social media in recent years. From "love conquers all" to "Time heals all wounds," I share why I think some of our most accepted relationship beliefs deserve a second look. Sometimes healing isn't just about moving on from a relationship. It's about unlearning the ideas that shaped how we viewed love in the first place. - - - - - - - - Want that chapter checklist just Click Here!

Ask a question, send us a message, or let us know how you like the podcastEpisode 226: My Adult Child Said I was Toxic. What Do I Do With That?Hearing your adult child describe you, your parenting, or your family as “toxic” can feel like a complete rejection of who you are. You may immediately want to defend yourself, explain your intentions, or prove that their version of the past is wrong.But the way you respond in that moment can either deepen the distance or create an opening for greater understanding.In this episode, Tina explains what your adult child may actually be trying to communicate when they use therapy words like “toxic.” She explores how parents can take their child's pain seriously without accepting an unfair label or collapsing into guilt and shame.You will learn how to stay grounded during painful conversations, listen for the experience underneath the accusation, and begin rebuilding trust through curiosity, empathy, and consistent behavior.In this episode, you will learn:Why being called a toxic parent feels like an attack on your entire identityWhat your adult child may mean when they say their childhood or family environment was toxicHow defensiveness can unintentionally reinforce the concerns your child is trying to expressWhat to say when you want to understand your adult child without agreeing with every detailHow changed behavior, emotional safety, and respectful communication can help repair a strained parent-adult child relationshipBeing called toxic does not automatically mean you are a bad parent. It may mean there is a painful gap between what you intended and what your adult child experienced. That gap can be explored, understood, and sometimes repaired.You do not have to argue your way out of your child's pain. You can learn to stay steady, ask better questions, acknowledge the impact, and allow your actions over time to show that the relationship can become different.Share this episode with another parent of an adult child who is struggling with family conflict, emotional distance, estrangement, or painful accusations and needs help knowing how to respond.Click Here to download the free guide: 5 Steps to Take Before Trying to Repair the Relationship with Your Adult Child Tina Gosney is the Family Conflict Coach.

This week on the podcast, I am joined by longtime friend, Ali Mendieta to talk about her time in missions work. See, Most people underestimate the profound impact of living abroad—a journey that can reshape your entire worldview. When Ali moved to Hungary as a missionary, she discovered that the real transformation came not just from what she set out to do, but from the relationships she built along the way. Her story reveals the unexpected joys, heartbreaking lows, and spiritual breakthroughs of stepping outside your comfort zone—sometimes in the most isolating moments. In this empowering conversation, you'll discover how authentic relationships, often lead to the most meaningful ministry. Are you ready to see how your everyday actions can be a vessel for God's love? Hit play to be inspired, challenged, and encouraged to step into your own divine purpose—wherever you are in the world. This episode isn't just about missions abroad; it's about walking in faith every day, wherever life takes you.

In this episode, I explore how understanding your menstrual cycle, hormones, and changing life stages can help you make sense of shifts in libido—and prevent those changes from creating unnecessary conflict in your relationship.

In this episode, Dr. K reacts to a viral ADHD skit to break down what the internet frequently gets wrong about the condition. Moving beyond surface-level symptoms, he explains the neurobiology of time blindness, why high-stakes pressure paralyzes the neurodivergent mind, and how to actually build discipline by severing the link between action and impulsivity. What to expect in this episode: The Viral Assessment: A breakdown of a relatable skit covering tardiness, forgotten hobbies, and dead plants, and why focusing only on the struggles of ADHD ignores the nuance of how to actually fix them. Time Blindness Mechanics: How ADHD impairs the internal biological clock, preventing the brain from subconsciously gathering data on how long tasks take, which makes daily planning nearly impossible. Sensory Organization: Why people with ADHD must stop relying on "neurotypical" memory strategies and instead build rigid sensory systems—like the rule to "don't put it down, put it away". Suppressing Bodily Signals: How hyperfocus causes individuals to ignore basic needs like thirst or hunger until they are starving, leading to highly impulsive and unhealthy choices when they finally take a break. The Avalanche of Guilt: How a simple mistake (like forgetting a friend's birthday for seven years) instantly triggers emotional dysregulation, transforming a missed task into the deep-seated belief that "I am a fundamentally bad person". Meds vs. Therapy: Why stimulant medication only treats the primary symptoms of ADHD (Layer 1), while psychotherapy is equally necessary to heal the broken identity and low self-esteem (Layer 2) that build up over a lifetime. The High-Stakes "Lockdown": Why elevating the pressure or importance of a task—which typically motivates neurotypical people—often causes individuals with ADHD to freeze or completely shut down due to emotional overwhelm. The Secret to Follow-Through: Why the key to finishing a project is actually learning not to start it on a whim, as the exact same frontal lobe circuit that restrains impulsive excitement is responsible for deliberate, long-term discipline.

What does it really take to land media opportunities, build a recognizable personal brand, and become the person people think of when opportunities arise? In this episode of Social Media Decoded, Michelle Thames shares the real story behind her recent appearance on WGN Spotlight Chicago and why it had nothing to do with luck. She explains how one relationship that started in 2024, combined with years of consistent visibility and intentional content creation, led to another opportunity on television. If you've ever wondered why some entrepreneurs seem to attract speaking engagements, media appearances, partnerships, and new clients while others struggle to get noticed, this episode will change the way you think about visibility. Michelle also shares how she's shifted from chasing the algorithm to building a complete visibility ecosystem—one that turns content into conversations, conversations into community, and community into clients. In this episode, you'll learn: Why media opportunities are built through relationships, not luck The power of staying visible even when engagement feels low How consistency builds trust and authority over time Why creating an ecosystem is more powerful than growing an Instagram account The real strategy behind Michelle's Hidden Gem videos How to create content from your everyday life instead of chasing trends Why women over 40 have a unique advantage when building a personal brand The mindset shift that helped Michelle become unforgettable Key Takeaways Visibility compounds over time. Relationships open doors that algorithms never can. Authority is earned through consistency, not claimed through titles. Your next opportunity may already be watching—you just have to keep showing up. Ready to Become More Visible? Michelle is launching her new 21-Day Visibility Sprint, designed to help women entrepreneurs stop wondering what to post and start building the kind of visibility that creates real opportunities, partnerships, media appearances, and clients.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://lovein90days.com/4-things-that-happen-when-you-find-the-right-one/ Quotes to ponder: "When you find the right one: You feel like you've met someone who could be a great friend." "You can be real and authentic with him. There is more ease, more playfulness and less anxiety." "Studies show that people who are emotionally aroused, whether by joy, fear, or any feeling, fall in love more easily.

Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode 361 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm joined by my former private coaching client, Ilene, for a heartfelt conversation about what happened after years of doing the work of recovery and boundary-building.Rather than focusing on theory, this episode explores what these concepts actually looked like in one woman's life—how learning to honor her preferences, stop managing other people's reactions, and build internal safety transformed the relationship she has with herself. The conversation was inspired by a thoughtful email Ilene sent after reflecting on two recent podcast episodes, and together we unpack the changes she experienced along the way.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:How recovery shifted Ilene's relationship with herself over timeWhat changed when she began honoring her own preferences and needsThe impact of building internal safety instead of seeking it from othersWhy boundaries became an essential part of her healing journeyHow real-life recovery looks beyond understanding the concepts intellectuallyThroughout our conversation, Ilene shares honest reflections about her personal growth and the ways recovery has influenced her relationships, decision-making, and ability to stay connected to herself.This episode is a reminder that healing isn't about becoming a different person. It's about building a relationship with yourself that is grounded in self-awareness, self-trust, and healthy boundaries—one choice at a time.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a fear that lives quietly underneath the surface for many first responders — the growing awareness that the job is changing them, and the worry that the direction of that change is toward something they never wanted to become. Bitterness in first responder culture does not arrive all at once. It builds slowly — through disappointment, disillusionment, unprocessed grief, and the accumulation of everything the job takes without giving back. And one of the most painful parts of that process is watching it happen and feeling powerless to stop it. This episode names that fear directly and talks honestly about what it takes to stay grounded when the job keeps pulling in a different direction.

In this episode of Love, Sex & Tarot, the host explores the “intensity zone” — that rush of excitement when a new relationship or friendship sparks strong feelings — and why so many people instinctively pull back, mistaking genuine interest for a “scam.” Drawing on relationship psychology, trauma responses, and personal reflection (including her own Sagittarius tendency to run), she unpacks why intensity so often reads as a red flag instead of a gift, and offers guidance on slowing down enough to let real connections develop.The episode also touches on dyslexia and ADHD, a recent eclipse-watching trip, and summer scheduling plans for the podcast before moving into three full tarot readings (Scotty Dog, Cat, and Star spreads) covering themes of past relationships, toxic patterns, reconciliation, and settlement energy. Each reading closes with an Oracle of Mystical Moments card pull for added spiritual reflection.⚠️ These are performances and for entertainment purposes only.

Send us Fan MailBetrayal doesn't just break trust with a partner. It can rewire your nervous system, scramble your sense of self, and push you into coping moves that feel “smart” in the moment but keep you stuck for months or years. I'm sharing what I'm learning through my new training with Terry Real and the Relational Life Institute: the five losing strategies that show up constantly after infidelity, divorce, and major relationship rupture.We walk through each pattern in a clear, real-world way: the need to be right (and why it turns your marriage into a courtroom), controlling your partner (phone checks, tracking, constant reassurance), unbridled self-expression that becomes emotional dumping, retaliation that multiplies pain, and withdrawal that builds walls while you're falling apart inside. If you've ever thought, “Why am I acting like this?” you're not broken. These strategies started as protection.Then we shift into what actually helps betrayal recovery and infidelity healing: noticing the moment you reach for an old pattern, naming the feeling underneath it, and asking directly for what you need. We also talk about rebuilding emotional safety inside yourself, finding healthy connection when your partner can't meet you there, and choosing peace over the endless fight to prove a point.If you want support breaking these cycles, schedule a free coaching call using the link in my show notes.

Marriage can be beautiful, but it can also be challenging. There are seasons when you have questions, concerns, disappointments, or burdens that feel too heavy to carry on your own. The good news is that you were never meant to carry them alone.In this special prayer episode of the Pursue HER Podcast, we spend time in prayer for marriages, husbands, wives, families, and the hearts of women who may be feeling weary, discouraged, or uncertain. Together, we are reminded that our strength comes from God and that, as daughters of God, we have the privilege of bringing every concern, fear, and burden to Him.Whether your marriage is thriving, struggling, or somewhere in between, this episode will encourage you to seek God first, trust His timing, and cover your marriage in prayer.

How should Christians order their loves in a world that tells us every relationship and every responsibility deserves the same priority? In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing explores the historic Christian doctrine of ordo amoris—the right ordering of our loves. Beginning with wholehearted love for God, Scripture teaches that our responsibilities flow outward to our families, our churches, our neighbors, and ultimately to the nations. Rather than shrinking our compassion, rightly ordered love enables us to love others more faithfully, wisely, and biblically.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere
