Grief after betrayal is rarely talked about—especially when it comes to men.In this episode, we explore grief after betrayal for men, including men in recovery, men who have caused harm, and men who have betrayed themselves. While grief is often associated with sadness or loss through death, betrayal creates layers of invisible loss that many men carry without language—or permission—to acknowledge.I'm joined by Joseph McKinley who is a Pastor and Recovery Coach at Greenway Recovery as well as a coaching colleague of mine at Choose Recovery Services, where he supports individuals and families navigating sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma. His work focuses on helping men face truth with compassion, integrity, and responsibility—without bypassing the grief that healing requires.You don't have to navigate grief, recovery, or betrayal alone. Healing doesn't start with having the right answers—it starts with naming what's been lost.Connect With Me + Continue Your HealingIf today's episode resonated with you, you don't have to walk the healing journey after betrayal alone.

Resentment doesn't always look like anger. In addiction recovery and betrayal healing, it often shows up quietly—through defensiveness, withdrawal, or feeling controlled.In Part 3 of our Resentment series, we explore:Why sharing resentment too early can emotionally burden your partnerHow resentment forms underneath shame, fear, and loss of controlThe role of emotional containment in creating real safetyWhy empathy without boundaries is harmfulHow deeper emotional work reduces defensiveness and prevents relapseChapters00:24 Understanding Resentment in Recovery02:05 Timing and Responsibility in Sharing Resentment04:13 Containment and Emotional Regulation06:14 Common Triggers of Resentment06:54 Parts Work and Internal Conflicts11:25 Empathy, Boundaries, and Emotional Maturity22:15 Grieving and Letting Go of the Past27:13 Benefits of Deep Emotional WorkRegister Now!
Send us a messageIn the last couple of episodes, we've been talking about renewal - what it means to be restored, and how renewal begins quietly in the way we think. When our minds start to shift, clarity begins to return. But clarity doesn't stay abstract for long. Eventually, renewed thinking asks a deeper question: What is this shaping me toward? Because when the mind begins to renew, it naturally leads us to purpose. How we think influences how we choose, how we prioritize, and how we move forward. Purpose often blurs because life piles on top of it. Expectations grow. Schedules tighten. People rely on us. Over time, purpose can quietly shift from something we live from into something we simply carry. And when that happens, even good work can start to feel draining instead of life-giving.Renewal isn't meant to stop at perspective - it's meant to guide direction. So if purpose feels unclear right now, let this be reassuring: confusion is not failure. Blurriness is often a signal that renewal is needed. And renewal doesn't mean starting over; it means returning to the breath that first gave life to your purpose.
I feel like resilience gets a bad rep...somewhere along the way it turned into pushing through, moving on, and telling ourselves we're “fine” before we actually are. And women are quietly exhausted because of it.In this episode, I'm bringing back a framework I created to help women move through hard seasons without abandoning themselves:The Six Rs of Confident Resilience — Rest, Regroup, Recover, Renew, Rebound, and Rally.If you've ever thought, “I should be past this by now,” this episode is for you.And if you find yourself wanting to go deepe, to understand timing, signals, and what confidence looks like inside each phase I'm continuing this conversation privately inside Glow Circle, where we slow it all the way down and do the real work.You're not behind.You're just in a season.Resources Mentioned & Show Notes Confident Woman Glow is where personal growth gets practical.We talk self trust, boundaries, identity, healing, and courage so you can stop second guessing yourself and start making choices you respect.

Today's conversation sits at the intersection of trauma, recovery, and compassion for the body.Many listeners of Choosing to Stay are navigating betrayal trauma, addiction recovery—either their own or their partner's—and ongoing nervous system overwhelm. In those seasons, nutrition can either feel like a powerful support… or like one more place we're falling short.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. David Wiss, a pioneering mental health nutritionist and Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner who bridges nutritional science with psychiatric and addiction care. Dr. Wiss is the founder of Nutrition in Recovery and the Wise Mind Nutrition app, and his work focuses on root-cause healing at the intersection of trauma, substance use, and food-related struggles.What I appreciate most about Dr. Wiss's approach is his emphasis on compassion over control, and his understanding of behaviors—not as failures—but as adaptations shaped by stress, trauma, and survival.Together, we explore how nutrition can gently support healing from trauma and addiction without becoming another source of shame, pressure, or perfectionism.Connect with Dr. David Wiss: drdavidwiss.comInstagram: @drdavidwissFree Download: 5 Ways You Can Use Nutrition to Improve Your Mental HealthDr. David Wiss is a leading voice in integrative mental health and nutrition.

At least half a dozen Christchurch bottle stores have banned the sale of Nitro Vodka in an effort to get or renew their liquor licences. The shops have agreed to... or even suggested the condition during their applications to the District Licensing Committee in the past three years. It prompted the owner of Nitro, to take legal action, claiming the alcohol and energy drink combined, is being unfairly targeted. Paul McMahon of Community Action on Youth and Drugs Otautahi has championed the case against Nitro and spoke to Lisa Owen.

David is the founder and president of Renew Outreach. He will share how the ministry began and the tools they've developed to help provide unreached people in remote places with access to God's Word. Josiah, Director of Strategic Initiatives at Renew, explains efforts to help persecuted Christians around the world share the gospel using emerging technology.

After betrayal, many couples believe they're struggling with communication—but what's really happening is much deeper. Betrayal doesn't just break trust; it rewires the nervous system, changing how safety is experienced inside the relationship. In this episode, we explore why conversations feel loaded after betrayal, why small behaviors can feel overwhelming, and how nervous system responses—like defensiveness, shutdown, or hypervigilance—keep couples stuck in painful cycles. You'll learn why this isn't about being “too sensitive” or “never enough,” but about how the body responds when relational safety has been compromised.Whether you are a betrayed partner, the one rebuilding trust, or a couple navigating healing together, this episode offers compassionate insight, practical nervous system tools, and a powerful reframe that helps interrupt the trauma loop—without blame or shame.Connect With Me + Continue Your HealingIf today's episode resonated with you, you don't have to walk the healing journey after betrayal alone.

Join teZa as she describes the week-long 7-women retreat in Tulum, in Mexico's Yukatan. She wanted a Reset, and mission accomplished! Feeling interconnected was the theme, made easier by being and sharing with other spirit-oriented women. With all physical needs pre-arranged (and so luxuriously at Amansala a beachside upscale resort) quiet calm sistered with self-care and inner exploration made the 7 days whizz by. Some of us played, others dove into self-inquiry for virtually the first time. All were willing and Joy was our common denominator. Because our workshop called "Sacred Rhythms" leader's name, Jocelyn, literally means Joy. Body Mind Spirit: our delight. We Released what needed to be released. Reframing life in new and marvelous ways surprising even to ourselves. Identifying blocks can be fun, my friends! We enjoyed several Mayan traditional ceremonies: a purifying clay massage and plunge in the sea with sound attunement for one, a sweat lodge for another, with cacao sharing in between. "Life is a ceremony, drinking cacao is just what we do in between," our master of the temezcal (sweat lodge) ceremonies Carlos explained, as he sang sacred Mayan songs to us and fed herbs such as rue, basil, and rosemary to the glowing hot rocks. The air purified our lungs. The womb-like structure caressed and invigorated our souls. The kopal incense and flower petals glorified our quest. Awareness - Acceptance - Action

Join RENEW.org at an upcoming event: https://renew.org/resources/events/ This episode features the 'Theological Thunderdome' session from the 2025 Renew gathering. Hosted by David Young, with several panelists. The discussion explores the radical ethics of the early church and their relevance today. They examine whether these ethics are reproducible in the modern era, touching upon issues like multi-ethnicity, care for the poor, non-violence, radical sexual ethics, and a pro-life stance. The panel also delves into the tension between living these ethics and participating in democratic governance, and the importance of humility in living out these values.
Pastor Mike continues the Reset and Renew series with a powerful call to clear out the lies, habits, and thought patterns that pull us away from God's best. Pulling from God's Word he reminds us that real renewal begins when we choose Truth over noise, Scripture over opinion, and God's voice over the enemy's lies.This message challenges us to put off the “old man,” reject ungodly thinking, and let the Word reshape how we see ourselves, our choices, and our future. When we anchor our minds in God's Truth, freedom follows — and the life He promises becomes clearer than ever. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Healing after betrayal can feel confusing — especially when your partner is “doing everything right,” yet something still feels off.In this episode, Amie and Alana explore unspoken resentment in betrayal recovery: how resentment can exist without awareness, why it often gets denied, and how betrayed partners sense it before it's ever named.We discuss:Why resentment doesn't have to be felt to be acted outHow shame and “good guy” identity keep resentment hiddenWhy partners should trust their body instead of dismissing itThe difference between awareness and weaponizing emotionsThis is part 1 of a four-part series focused on understanding resentment without excusing harm — and without asking betrayed partners to carry what isn't theirs.Chapters01:55 Categories of Resentment05:46 Importance of Awareness08:02 Deeper Layers of Resentment10:58 Resentment as a Protector13:02 Managing Resentment in RelationshipsRegister Now!
Send us a messageOur minds are constantly being filled - by responsibilities, expectations, information, comparison, fear, and urgency - sometimes all at once. We learn to live with “mental noise” the same way we learn to live with background sound, until it's so constant we forget it's even there. What we think shapes how we live. It influences how we see ourselves, how we respond to others, and how we understand our faith. Renewing the mind isn't about becoming someone else. It's about noticing where our thinking has become rushed, rigid, or rooted in fear rather than truth. It's about allowing ourselves to return to a sense of clarity. So in this episode the invitation is to pay attention to the inner dialogue you've been carrying. Because renewal doesn't begin with answers - it begins with awareness. And the mind is where that work takes its first breath.

It’s amazing how quickly a small thing can throw everything off. In music, even one string slightly out of tune can disrupt an entire song. This devotional begins with that image—musicians tuning their instruments before a performance, listening closely for what’s true, steady, and right. With practice, they can detect when a note is off. And once the instruments are tuned properly, the music becomes harmonious and beautiful, just as it was designed to be. In the same way, our lives can drift out of tune when we start listening to the wrong voices. The world constantly offers messages about what will make us happy, secure, or successful—wealth, status, comfort, possessions, or even cynicism and hopelessness. Some of those messages sound convincing, especially when our hearts are tired or our spiritual ears aren’t trained. But when we tune ourselves to the world’s “notes,” we often end up with more confusion, discord, and heartache. The devotional points to Rehoboam as a warning about what happens when we listen to voices that feel familiar or flattering rather than wise and true. He rejected the counsel of experienced elders and followed the advice that appealed to him—leading to major loss. It’s a reminder that what seems right in the moment isn’t always right, and that wisdom often requires humility and discernment. So how do we tune our lives to God’s voice instead? We practice. We develop a trained ear by spending consistent time in Scripture, praying for understanding, and allowing God’s Word to shape our thinking. As we read, memorize, and meditate, the Holy Spirit brings truth to mind when we need guidance. Over time, God aligns our hearts and choices so our lives begin to reflect His hope, His wisdom, and His story. And when we’re tuned to Him, our lives become a kind of worship—steady, purposeful, and pleasing to the One who made us. Main Takeaways Just like instruments need tuning, our hearts and minds can drift out of alignment over time. The world offers convincing messages, but they often lead to discord and discouragement. Rehoboam’s story warns us about the cost of listening to the wrong voices. Tuning to God’s voice requires practice through Scripture, prayer, and spiritual attentiveness. As God renews our minds, our lives become more harmonious and honoring to Him. Today’s Bible Verse “The king answered the people harshly. Rejecting the advice given him by the elders, he followed the advice of the young men and said, ‘My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.’” - 1 Kings 12:13-14, NIV Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Lead me away from the path of Rehoboam… Renew my mind, Holy Spirit, so that I may understand and follow the will of God.” You can listen to the full prayer or read the devotional at the links below.

When life feels heavy, it doesn’t just affect our schedules—it affects our thoughts. This devotional begins with a picture of community: a small group faithfully studying Scripture together in the middle of real-life chaos—toddlers, teens, and nonstop responsibilities. But even in that meaningful rhythm, they began to notice something: resistance. Delays, disruptions, sickness, financial strain, and unexpected emergencies kept piling up, and it felt as if something was actively working against their time in the Word. That experience leads to an important reminder: spiritual battles often show up first in the mind. When pressure increases, discouragement can settle in, and the patterns of the world can begin to shape what we believe, fear, or chase. That’s why Romans 12:2 is so central here—renewal isn’t just about trying harder; it’s about being transformed from the inside out. When our minds are renewed, we begin to see more clearly, discern God’s will, and resist the pull of destructive patterns. The devotional also points out that when believers feel divided, distracted, or weighed down, returning to the basics matters. We don’t fight heaviness with more noise—we fight it with truth, community, and grace. That can look like meeting regularly with other believers, standing firm together in God’s Word, and speaking Scripture aloud so truth gets deeper than emotion. It also means giving ourselves grace when we fail—remembering that confession and repentance are gifts, not punishments. Renewing your mind is a daily practice. It’s choosing, again and again, to let God’s promises reshape your thoughts instead of letting the world define them. And as God transforms your thinking, He strengthens your faith, grows unity with other believers, and steadies you for whatever comes next. Main Takeaways Spiritual heaviness often affects our thought life first, which is why renewing the mind is essential. God transforms us from the inside out as we resist the world’s patterns and cling to His truth. Community matters—meeting regularly with other believers strengthens faith and unity. Speaking Scripture aloud can help anchor truth in your heart and interrupt destructive thought patterns. Grace is part of renewal; when we fail, we can confess, repent, and start again with God’s help. Today’s Bible Verse Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. - Romans 12:2 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Renew our minds, transform our thoughts, and give us the tools to lean into our faith when this life veers off course.” You can listen to the full prayer in this episode, or read the devotional at the links below.
