Resentment often begins where an important boundary remains unspoken.In Episode 425, we examine why boundaries exist in every healthy relationship—and why setting one is not necessarily an act of rejection. A clear boundary tells another person what matters, what you are willing to participate in, and what you will do if the line is crossed.We also explore the difference between boundaries and preferences, the discomfort of receiving someone else's boundary, and the danger of becoming so rigid that healthy limits turn into walls.The goal isn't to create relationships where boundaries are never crossed. The goal is to communicate clearly, follow through without cruelty, and leave a path back when repair is possible.Boundaries cannot control another person. They can only govern how you choose to respond.

"Don't worry about it. It's all gonna work out. Everything is figure-outable." —Lisa Cruz Most people don't need more money to invest in their business — they need to stop seeing that investment as a cost. That's the mindset shift former ER nurse turned auto shop co-owner Lisa Cruz brings to this episode of the Daniel Gomez Inspires Show. Lisa spent 25 years as a registered nurse before walking away to help run her husband Ricky's auto repair business — which, at the time, was operating out of shoeboxes with no bookkeeping, no filed taxes, and no system. She explains exactly how she brought structure to that chaos, why a $400 Chamber of Commerce membership terrified Ricky but changed their business, and how a $1,000 marketing spend turned into a $5,000 job. Along the way, she opens up about forgiving her son's father, letting go of resentment toward her own parents, and the surprising story of how their shop grew from a single cow-pasture location to a second site that sees 30,000 cars drive by every day. This episode is for any entrepreneur who feels stuck between wanting to grow and being afraid to spend — and for anyone still carrying resentment that's quietly holding their life or business back. Key takeaways: Ricky refused to buy clipboards for tracking repair orders, so Lisa bought them herself with her own money — a small decision that became the foundation of their record-keeping system. A $400 investment in a Chamber of Commerce membership generated years of revenue that far outweighed the initial fear of spending it. A $1,000 marketing investment returned a $5,000 job, proving that treating spending as an investment — not a cost — changes what a business can become. Lisa's father used to tell her she had a way of stepping into trouble and coming out "smelling like roses" — a mindset she now credits for staying calm through business setbacks. Forgiving her son's absent father and letting go of childhood resentment toward her parents freed up energy she had been spending on bitterness instead of growth. A change in Texas inspection law cut a nearby shop's revenue in half overnight — Lisa and Ricky bought that "dying" business anyway and turned it into a second location on a road with 30,000 daily cars. Listen to the full conversation for the story behind Lisa's book, Keeping Up with the Cruzes, and how she turned a decade of unfiled taxes into a thriving two-location business.

Hello, Beautiful...I'm so grateful you're here with me. Resentment can quietly steal energy from the present moment. This healing meditation helps soften anger, release emotional pain, and reconnect you with forgiveness and peace. Let your heart become a little lighter today. Love,
And the Wisdom to Know the Difference The Serenity Prayer asks us to accept what we cannot change, find the courage to change what we can, and develop the wisdom to know the difference. That wisdom is not always automatic. Fear can tell us to stay silent when action is needed. Pride can make us fight things beyond our control. Resentment can keep us focused on other people while ignoring our own choices. Today we'll talk about how recovery helps us separate acceptance from avoidance, courage from control, and responsibility from blame. We may not control every person, circumstance, or outcome—but we can choose our attitude, our boundaries, our actions, and the direction we take next. #TheDailyTrudge #WisdomToKnowTheDifference #SerenityPrayer #AlcoholicsAnonymous #AARecovery #Acceptance #Courage #Wisdom #Recovery #Sobriety #OneDayAtATime
This month on Tipperary's Hidden History Conor recalls a saga that played out between the hinterlands around Thurles and the front of Nenagh Gaol during 1847 and 1848. Once more we encounter a county in the grips of agrarian crisis and famine. Resentment lurked around every corner. And all too often, peasants with murderous intent were never far behind.

What I Discussed With Dr Anna Elton...- Why the word desire gets confused with arousal, and how mixing them up keeps couples stuck for years.- The uncomfortable truth about the "spontaneous" desire I felt at 25, and why Anna says I actually worked for it.- What 700+ couples taught Anna about why some marriages stay passionate for decades while others go quiet.- Where my erotic energy goes when it stops flowing toward a partner (it doesn't just vanish).- The three personas every partnered person juggles, and the one that quietly starves first.- The couple who ate out "all the time" but hadn't been on a real date in ten years.- Why I hated being the default planner in my relationships, and Anna's fix for the "I don't know, what do you want to do?" dynamic.- The 20 second habit that took one couple from a sexless marriage back to wanting each other.- What actually kept Anna and her high school sweetheart flirting after 25 years and three kids.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction & Sponsor Spotlight (OhMiBod)00:26 – Understanding Midlife Desire with Dr Anna Elton01:27 – Lessons from 25 Years Together: Clinical Research Meets Personal Reality03:00 – Why Young Couples Suffer From Sexless Marriages03:36 – The Brain Chemistry of Intimacy: Desire vs. Physical Arousal04:35 – Spontaneous vs. Responsive Desire Explained05:34 – Rethinking ‘Spontaneous' Spark in Long-Term Relationships07:01 – The Myth of Youthful Passion & Hormonal Shifts Over Time09:07 – Restoring Novelty: The A-to-Z Date Night Framework10:56 – Sponsor Spotlight (GITM Playbook)11:42 – Creating Mystery & Seeing Your Partner Through a New Lens13:05 – The Power of ‘Consensual Uncertainty' in Midlife Dating13:44 – Overcoming the ‘Planner Dynamic' & Resentment in Relationships15:32 – The Three-Step Coaching Technique to Encourage Partner Effort17:00 – Desire Diversion: Where Does Erotic Energy Go When It Leaves the Bedroom?18:50 – Balancing the Three Personas: Individual, Couple, and Family20:17 – Defining a ‘Sexless Marriage' & The Impact of Parental Stress23:05 – What Long-Term Couples Do Differently to Keep the Flame Alive24:04 – Social Penetration Theory: Why Deeper Communication Drives Physical Connection25:58 – Micro-Habits for Reconnection: The 20-Second Rule27:12 – Can High School Sweethearts Last a Lifetime?28:30 – Closing Thoughts & ‘The Formula of Desire' Book Release DetailsShow NotesDesire in long-term relationships is one of the most misunderstood topics I cover on this show, so I went straight to someone with the data.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Anna Elton, a licensed marriage and family therapist and clinical sexologist who has spent more than 15 years researching desire with over 700 couples. Her new book, The Formula of Desire, grew out of a question she couldn't shake: why were she and her high school sweetheart still flirting after 25 years while couples half their age were arriving at her practice in sexless marriages?Anna dismantled something I'd believed my whole life. That electric, out-of-nowhere desire I remember from my younger years? She says it was never spontaneous. I put the work in without realising it, and that changes everything about how couples in later life can get desire back.We also get into where erotic energy actually goes when it leaves a relationship, because according to Anna's research, it doesn't fade. It moves. And I share something from my own marriage that made this whole conversation personal.If your relationship has gone quiet, this episode is proof it doesn't have to stay that way.Listen, learn and enjoy.Key Takeaways- Desire is psychological, and arousal is physiological. Losing one doesn't mean losing the other.- Spontaneous desire is really well orchestrated desire.- A sexless marriage means sex ten or fewer times a year, and it's happening to couples of every age.- Desire doesn't disappear from a relationship. It redirects toward kids, careers or someone else.- We each juggle three personas: individual, couple and family. The couple persona is the one that gets starved.- New experiences together let you see your partner through fresh eyes, whether that's salsa dancing or axe throwing.- Small consistent habits beat grand gestures. Daily check-ins, 20-second hugs and flirty rain checks keep desire alive.- Just knowing your partner desires you is often enough to feel satisfied in a relationship.About the GuestDr. Anna Elton, LMFT, CST, is a licensed marriage and family therapist, clinical sexologist, speaker, and author of The Formula of Desire. With more than 15 years of experience and research involving over 700 couples, she specialises in helping people understand desire, intimacy, attraction, and long-term relationships.

A wounded sense of worth doesn't stay in childhood. It follows you into your work, your relationships, and the story you tell about who you are. In Part 2, we trace the value wound into adulthood -- the achievement treadmill that never stops, the relationships where love never quite feels safe, the inner critic that renders verdicts instead of feedback. Then we look at how a value wound shapes identity, why identity crises are often doorways rather than disasters, and what genuine healing actually looks like. IN THIS EPISODE How the value wound shows up at work: perfectionism, imposter syndrome, the inability to rest How it shows up in relationships: over-giving, chronic reassurance-seeking, difficulty receiving love The inner critic as internalized shame -- and why it renders verdicts, not feedback How a wounded sense of worth produces a borrowed identity built on roles and approval Why an identity crisis is often growth pushing back -- not something going wrong What healing looks like -- and why it requires more than insight If the borrowed identity fell away -- the role, the title, the thing you're known for -- what would be left? Is that terrifying? Or is there something in you that's curious about finding out?
Sometimes the smallest things reveal the biggest relationship issues. A trash bag left by the door, a credit card balance that keeps growing, a family dinner seating arrangement, or a visit that goes two hours too long can expose resentment, embarrassment, entitlement, and communication problems that have been building for years.In this episode, we discuss a Booski who needs a clean exit strategy from long visits, a family member humiliated by assigned seats based on weight, and a woman concerned about her fiancé refusing to pay off a manageable credit card balance while they are saving for a home. Nesha G and Moelethal also respond to a young man worried about sexual disconnect three months into his relationship and a wife who finally refuses to take out the trash her husband keeps letting pile up.Through every story, one theme keeps showing up: people cannot expect grace, help, patience, and understanding while refusing accountability.

The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic - Diamond Host Why does sex disappear from relationships that were once full of passion? Why does great sex slowly become routine, and why does desire disappears when love is still alive? Does sex matter enough to keep the spark alive? Do couples crave intimacy but don't know how to maintain or invite desire back? What disappears first, sex or intimacy? In this episode, you'll discover: *C@ck blockers that you might not have considered *Why comfort can kill desire, and how predictability quietly assassinates your sex life. *What the couples with great sex loves are doing, and what you are failing to do *Using some basic C's to bring the great sex back: communication, connection, consent and curiosity! Join Milica Jelenic, Holistic Health Practitioner, Sex & Intimacy Coach on this episode of The Pleasure Zone where we will find out what happens "When Good Sex Disappears." Grab your Yes, No, Maybe list - all about Playful Tips for Pleasure here 5 Key Takeaways / Highlights Good sex rarely disappears overnight—it is usually eroded by unresolved issues over time. Resentments, poor communication, unmet needs, chronic stress, and emotional disconnection gradually chip away at intimacy until desire begins to fade. Comfort without growth can become the enemy of passion. While emotional safety is essential, relationships that become overly predictable and routine can lose the novelty, curiosity, and excitement that help keep desire alive. Intimacy grows when couples continue exploring, communicating, and evolving together. Great sex is built through intentional connection, not luck. Couples who maintain fulfilling intimate relationships make time to communicate honestly, flirt, play, stay curious, and discuss their desires and boundaries. They actively nurture their relationship instead of assuming passion will maintain itself. Gratitude and playfulness help reignite desire. Focusing on what you appreciate about your partner, creating shared experiences, laughing together, and introducing variety into your relationship can strengthen emotional connection and naturally support a healthy, satisfying sex life. Not every relationship can—or should—be revived. While many intimacy challenges can be improved through communication, growth, and mutual effort, ongoing abuse, manipulation, gaslighting, repeated boundary violations, or a complete unwillingness to address relationship issues are important signs that it may be healthier to walk away.

Most marriages don't end because of one explosive fight—they slowly drift apart from the small hurts that never get talked about. In this episode, we're diving into the hidden resentments that quietly erode trust, intimacy, and connection over time. From feeling unseen and unappreciated to keeping score, carrying the mental load, and giving up on asking for what you need, these are the silent relationship killers that many couples don't recognize until it's too late. We'll also walk through The Resentment Test—a simple conversation designed to help you uncover what's been left unsaid before resentment turns into disconnection. If you've ever felt like you're living with your partner instead of truly connecting with them, this episode will help you understand why—and what you can do about it.

While Sam and his family are celebrating his birthday at the Russian River, Brian Oliva shares with us about the concept of "Enough." This is the audio podcast.
Former Governor David Paterson and Jake Novak discuss the growing influence of Democratic Socialism in New York, arguing that the movement is driven more by resentment than by meaningful solutions for working-class Americans while highlighting Democratic figures they view as resisting the party's progressive shift. The conversation also examines public safety concerns, including anti-Semitic violence, and the hosts' perspective on how political rhetoric from local leaders has contributed to rising tensions. They also analyze the disastrous week for NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and drawing on historical analogies and the biblical story of Cain and Abel, Paterson and Novak frame today's political divide as a struggle between productivity, personal responsibility, and destructive envy.
If your sex life basically disappeared after baby, this one's for you, mama.You're touched out, running on fumes, and the LAST thing on your mind is sex - but your partner keeps bringing it up, and now you're stuck in this exhausting cycle of guilt, resentment, and disconnection. Sound familiar?This week I'm sitting down with Dr. Rebecca Howard Eudy, a certified sex and couples therapist (and mama of two) who's spent 15 years helping couples navigate exactly this. We're getting real about why your desire disappears after baby, why "just fix the emotional connection and the sex will follow" is actually bad advice, and what's really going on when one partner pursues and the other withdraws.We also dig into resentment, the mental load, reclaiming your body, and why accepting imperfect help from your partner might be the missing piece (pajama drama included

What if your porn cravings are not only about sexual desire—but also about anger, resentment, stress, and emotions you have never learned how to process?For much of my life, simmering anger and frequent porn cravings were both part of my internal baseline. I treated them as separate struggles. Eventually, I began to recognize that they were often connected to the same deeper emotional pressure.In this episode, I explore the relationship between anger and porn addiction and explain why unresolved resentment can make pornography feel like an appealing form of relief. When we suppress anger, judge ourselves for feeling it, or continually replay the ways others have hurt us, our nervous system remains activated. Porn can then become a way to escape the pressure temporarily without resolving what is underneath it.I am joined by bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio host Brant Hansen, author of Unoffendable. Together, we discuss how anger can function like a dashboard warning light: it may be telling us that something feels threatening, unjust, painful, or out of alignment, but it should not be allowed to take control of the wheel.Brant and I also explore the practical meaning of forgiveness. Forgiveness does not require pretending that nothing happened, removing healthy boundaries, restoring trust immediately, or remaining in an unsafe relationship. It means releasing our commitment to resentment and refusing to let another person's actions continue occupying our inner life.If anger, relationship conflict, stress, or unresolved pain regularly trigger porn cravings for you, this conversation will help you begin understanding the deeper pattern and responding with greater presence, responsibility, humility, and faith.To learn more about Brant Hansen, including his books, podcast, and speaking, go to: branthansen.comTake the Next Step in Porn Addiction RecoveryLink to Blog Article for this EpisodeVisit No More Desire Tools for Recovery for recovery tools and training, including my free eBook, Workshop, The RAIL Method ™ and more to help you break free from porn.If you're tired of trying to quit porn on your own, the No More Desire Academy gives you a structured path to recovery through coaching, brotherhood, practical tools, and step-by-step training.

Empowered Relationship Podcast: Your Relationship Resource And Guide
Is it ever just one big betrayal that ends a relationship—or is it those little, silent compromises and unspoken problems that slowly unravel the love you built? Too often, couples find themselves at a crossroads, wondering when things started to go wrong and why the issues weren't tackled before it was too late. In this episode, listeners will hear stories pulled straight from the front lines of relationship dissolution and learn how to recognize the warning signs before they escalate. Through real-life examples and expert insights, the conversation shines a light on why negotiating boundaries, having difficult conversations, and making intentional choices are key to lasting trust and security. Whether you're hoping to repair a current relationship or avoid missteps in the future, this discussion offers tangible strategies and invaluable perspective to help navigate moments of rupture—and rebuild stronger than before. Diana Romanov is the founder of Romanov Law, PC, an award-winning family law attorney based in San Francisco, a Certified Family Law Specialist, and the creator of the Divorce Like a Boss YouTube channel. She began her career as a prosecutor in Berlin's Regional Superior Court before transitioning into family law, where she brings a blend of legal insight, emotional intelligence, and cultural fluency. Her work centers on helping people navigate conflict, rebuild connection, and create relationships with more stability and intention. Episode Highlights 03:15 Red flags and relational power dynamics: Learning from divorce stories. 08:05 Negotiating differences, rupture, and repair in relationships. 11:13 The importance of alignment: Deal breakers, assumptions, and communication. 16:17 Resentment, expressing boundaries, and the dangers of unspoken discontent. 18:53 Building skills for assertiveness and self-expression. 20:28 Consequences of avoidance, agreements, and legal realities in divorce. 25:06 Consistency, trust, and the challenge of repair after betrayal. 27:12 Choice, ambivalence, and taking responsibility for relationship direction. 31:42 Recognizing patterns: Early signs and lessons from relational history. 36:01 Communication tools: Tone, "I" statements, and focusing on desired outcomes. 40:02 Commitment, energy, and the call for authenticity in relationship decisions. Your Checklist of Actions to Take Give Relationships Enough Time: Avoid rushing into commitment—spend at least three years getting to know someone before making major life decisions together to truly understand compatibility. Negotiate Core Values Early: Have open conversations about important topics such as money management, exclusivity, and future goals to avoid hidden deal-breakers. Retain Individual Autonomy: Maintain your career, interests, and a sense of independence within your relationship, rather than becoming overly financially or emotionally dependent on your partner. Address Issues Promptly: Clear the air by expressing resentments within 24 hours, after calming down if necessary, to prevent long-term accumulation and resentment. Practice Assertive Communication: Use "I" statements to communicate your feelings and needs without blame or accusation, especially when discussing disagreements. Visualize Desired Outcomes Before Reacting: Before addressing a conflict, pause and consider what outcome you desire from the conversation, choosing words that help you move toward that goal. Make Conscious Choices and Set Timelines: If facing a major rupture, commit to working on repair for a set period (e.g., one year), then evaluate whether to stay or leave, rather than remaining in ongoing indecision. Learn from Past Patterns: Examine your partner's and your own relationship histories for repeated behaviors, as these often indicate future patterns.

Send us Fan MailWe start with a simple mystery: how the same person can make a proud plan at night and break it in the morning, even while still believing the plan is good. We connect akrasia, free will, and moral responsibility to transaction costs, treating self-control as a contracting problem between competing versions of ourselves. • Jordan I and Jordan II as a model of divided preferences over time • Hard determinism, libertarian free will, and compatibilism as the main philosophical map • Responsibility and punishment as social conventions that reduce coordination costs • Aristotle on voluntary intoxication and why blame can attach upstream • Akrasia defined as wanting to want the right thing • Plato's knowledge-based denial of akrasia versus Aristotle's acceptance of weakness of will • Paul and Augustine on the internal conflict of the will • Time-inconsistent preferences and hyperbolic discounting as a behavioral explanation • Commitment devices as credible commitments and transaction cost engineering • Odysseus and the sirens as the classic precommitment story • Listener letter on military punctuality as costly signaling and institutional discipline • Listener letter on recycling labels as regulation creating new transaction costs Links and Sources1.

Francis Fukuyama is the Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI), and a faculty member of FSI's Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law (CDDRL). He is also Director of Stanford's Ford Dorsey Master's in International Policy, and a professor (by courtesy) of Political Science. In addition he is the author of several books. His most recent titles are Liberalism and Its Discontents, Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment, and the upcoming In the Realm of the Last Man: A Memoir. Greg and Francis talk about Frank's “End of History” thesis and later work on liberalism, identity, trust, and political order. Fukuyama argues long-run historical progress is visible in the gap between developed and developing societies, but he still sees no coherent “higher” alternative to liberal democracy and market society. He also explains that modern discontent through generational forgetting of 20th-century horrors and a deeper human desire for recognition and struggle (thymos), including megalothymia - the drive for superiority, which can turn tyrannical. They discuss how modern prosperity arose from Europe's unique mix of innovation culture, political fragmentation, religious schism, and family changes that fostered individualism. Frank contrasts state strength with constraint, and traces democracy's path through England to parliament and common law, critiques American anti-statism in state-building, and examines China vs India. They also discuss war's effects on state capacity, the internet's role in polarization and factual disagreement, and the need for shared liberal norms. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: The collapse of a shared factual basis [47:23] Liberal societies need to tolerate viewpoint diversity, but what we're seeing goes way beyond this. This is kind of empirical, factual diversity where people don't accept the same factual basis of the nature of the world. So, you know, are vaccines safe? Well, we used to think there was consensus about that because you have this whole accepted scientific system for empirical testing of propositions like that, and for some reason now people don't trust that anymore, or, you know, who won the last election, sort of, issue. Very hard to have a democracy if you disagree about whether you had a free and fair election, right? And these, again, I think would not have existed in the pre-internet age, that kind of disagreement over just simple factual information. The absence of a higher alternative to liberal democracy [05:18] A lot of people have lost faith in liberal democracy, but I still don't see anyone posing a real alternative of a higher society. Does the rule of law hold without shared norms? [54:46] One thing that the last few years have taught me is that, in a way, you know, we used to think there's law and there are norms, and the norms are basically more flighty and less weighty, but the law is really a big barrier to bad action. And I think we're realizing that's not true. Everything is normative. Why the drive for superiority can't simply be eliminated [12:42] It was Bob Iger or some big CEO who wanted to climb the seven highest mountains in the world, you know? So there's a lot of ways that you can demonstrate your superiority that are basically, if not socially constructive, they're at least peaceful; you know, they're not going to harm other people. But it turns out that for Donald Trump, at least that wasn't enough. And I think that's a basic problem. You want outlets for this, what I call "megalothumia." This is the desire to be recognized as superior, and basically you can't have a society without that. I mean, you're not going to have any great baseball players, musicians, you know, philosophers if you don't have people that want to be excellent at something. But that also unleashes a kind of tyrannical desire to simply dominate, and I think that's the problem we're dealing with right now.

Forgiveness is one of the most necessary parts of the Christian life, but it is also one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, Brandon and Sandy sit down with Dr. Everett Worthington to talk about what forgiveness actually is, what it is not, and why reconciliation is something different altogether. Dr. Worthington shares the tragic story of his mother's murder and how that moment forced him to live out the very forgiveness he had spent years studying and teaching. The conversation explores decisional forgiveness, emotional forgiveness, rumination, resentment, justice, boundaries, and what happens inside us when unforgiveness takes root. Dr. Worthington also walks through his REACH model and offers practical help for those who feel stuck in pain, anger, or grief. This is a powerful, honest, and hope-filled conversation for anyone wrestling with what it means to forgive without pretending the wound never happened.Ev's Book https://a.co/d/01UMgKXoEv's Website -https://www.evworthington-forgiveness.com/
New essay publishing on Monday at:https://www.jordanbpeterson.com/blog/https://x.com/jordanbpeterson?lang=en The moment Moses strikes the rock instead of speaking to it, something breaks — not just in the story, but in the entire logic of leadership. This lecture traces the final act of the Exodus narrative, from the golden calf to the poisonous serpents to the strange bronze idol that somehow becomes the precursor to the crucifix, and asks what it all means for a civilization that's starting to forget. Peterson walks through the collapse that happens every time a people abandon self-governance for hedonism, how that abdication quietly summons the tyrant it thinks it's rejecting, and why Korah's revolutionary accusation — that all authority is just power wearing a costume — sounds so familiar right now. The throughline from Moses to Joshua to Christ turns out to be a single radical claim: that the only thing capable of making you immune to poison is the willingness to look at it directly.

In this episode, we explore betrayal through the lens of intuition, self-loyalty, and spiritual growth. I share personal stories, discuss why we sometimes ignore our inner knowing, and explore how resentment, forgiveness, karma, and healthy boundaries can become powerful catalysts for healing.
When a couple opens their relationship, there's almost always one partner who tends to take more initiative – to seek out information, read all the books, listen to podcasts, find a poly-aware therapist, initiate important conversations (the list goes on!). This is not necessarily a problem, but it is a dynamic we see all the time, and when it goes unrecognized, unnamed, and unacknowledged, resentment, guilt, and envy can start to build up.We call this the ‘trailblazer and follower,' and if it feels like you or your partner is doing all the heavy lifting in the opening process, understanding this dynamic may be the key to helping you understand the feelings and patterns that are coming up in your relationship.In this episode, we talk about:— The trailblazer and follower dynamic and why it's so common in relationships opening up— How one partner often ends up carrying the emotional weight of "this was my idea"— Why the follower partner might experience guilt while the trailblazer experiences resentment (even when neither person voices these feelings)— What happens during "the flip" — when the reluctant partner suddenly starts thriving, and the initiating partner feels left behind— The dangerous trap of seeking "parity of outcome" and why symmetry in relationships is neither realistic nor necessary— How unexpressed resentment and guilt can sabotage relationships right when they're about to reach a sweet spot— Why taking full responsibility for your own consent and participation (even when something wasn't your idea) is essential for individuation— The importance of expressing gratitude when you're benefiting from someone else's trailblazing work— How the Imago Dialogue can help partners understand each other's perspectives and do repair work around these dynamics— Why differentiation means accepting that you and your partner will have different experiences, different paths, and different levels of success in non-monogamy— How to recognize when you've fallen into fixed roles and how to shift out of them— What fairness in relationships actually requiresResources mentioned in this episode:— Our episode on Imago Dialogue— Our episode on envying your partner— Our episode on asymmetry and resentment— Our episode on asymmetric relationship agreementsJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & supportLearn the 5 secrets to open your relationship the smart wayAre you ready to open your relationship happily?

THANK YOU to our super awesome listeners who have already signed up! --------------------------------------Susan complained that the last episode sounded like everything is totally peachy with all of us when it comes to Power, Money and Marriage in each of our lives. Of course, the reality is more complicated than that. In the big picture, things might be fine but in the reality of daily life, there is friction and... resentments. A good healthy dose for each of us apparently. This series is supposed to be about power and money in the context of marriage and parenting but when we tried to put the spotlight on the problems around money and power, we got to... resentments. But why? Maybe it's because we feel that the level of power afforded to moms is unfair. Maybe the low value placed on the work of mothering is unfair (and we equate having value with having power). Maybe the expectation around earning income and being a good parent is unfair and wildly unrealistic (and we equate meeting others' expectations to having value to having power). So the chain is: unrealistic expectations that cannot be met --> feeling devalued in others' eyes --> feeling like we get less respect and power --> feelings of unfairness and resentment. Capiche?Maybe some of those resentments are justified. Maybe some are within our control to mitigate and reclaim that power. Anyhow, we dissect in our usual style on this episode.
Worth is not something you earn. But most of us grew up in environments that treated it like you could and should. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, we look at the core issue of value: what inherent worth actually means, what children need to internalize it, and what happens when those needs aren't met. We also unpack the two directions a value wound tends to go one-up and one-down and the role shame plays in keeping the wound alive. What we mean by inherent worth -- and why it can't be earned or lost What children actually need to internalize value -- attunement, delight, unconditional love One-up and one-down: the two ways a value wound shows up, and why most people oscillate between them Shame vs. guilt -- a critical distinction that changes how we understand the wound Why shame lives in the body -- and why insight alone can't reach it Is there a belief about yourself you've never said out loud -- something you suspect might be true that you hope no one finds out? That's often where the shame lives. COMING UP IN PART 2 How the value wound shows up in your work, your relationships, and your sense of identity -- and what healing actually looks like.

Javier Milei, the president of Argentina said:“I THOUGHT BEING ON THE LEFT WAS A MENTAL PROBLEM. THE EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE IS SO OVERWHELMING THAT IT NEVER WORKED ANYWHERE, AND THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT IT.”“BUT WHAT I DISCOVERED IS THAT BEING ON THE LEFT IS A DISEASE OF THE SOUL. THE LEFT IS BUILT ON ENVY, HATRED, RESENTMENT, AND UNEQUAL TREATMENT UNDER THE LAW. THEY ARE VERY VIOLENT, AND SINCE THEY HAVE NO WAY OR ARGUMENTS TO ANSWER, THEY GO FOR PHYSICAL VIOLENCE.”I don't think I've heard a more divisive commentary on American than the Muslim communist that NY elected as mayor.I LOVED that Mamdani took time during America's 250th birthday to talk much smack about our country.Mamdani will do more to expose the Muslim infiltration of America than any single person. He will be the undoing of the Left.The 250th anniversary comes at a cataclysmic time in our history.

Why do abusers and controlling people suddenly start to despise the exact same things they claimed to love about you at the beginning of the relationship? In this video, Lee Hammock exposes the psychological bait-and-switch behind why a toxic individual turns your greatest strengths into your biggest sins. You'll learn how traits like your independence, financial success, vibrant social life, or deep empathy are initially treated as a prize to be won during the love-bombing phase, only to be treated as a direct threat during devaluation. We break down the fragile ego structures that cause an abusive person to resent your light, why they try to extinguish the qualities that made you special, and how to spot this systematic erosion before it destroys your self-esteem and mental health.Book a Coaching Session: [https://link.me/mentalhealness]

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
This is a marriage and fatherhood Q&A episode of The Dad Edge with Larry Hagner and Joe, recorded as Larry rolls his June birthday promotion into July ahead of his 51st. It's a quieter, more vulnerable episode than most. Two members brought real questions, and both answers turned into something close to a masterclass on leading at home without resentment. Rich opened up about a marriage that's been struggling for a couple of years. He and his wife have started reconnecting, but he feels the load is one-sided. He's carrying the household, the kids, two jobs, and the role of primary parent, while she's drawing a line on how much she's willing to change. Joe's answer reframed the whole problem. Stop compromising, he said, because compromise has regret baked into it. Lead instead. He shared how he and Ivy split their money, how he trained himself to notice the socks on the floor she'd notice, and why an underlying resentment will sabotage everything no matter how well you execute the plan. Then Larry delivered what Joe called a freaking masterclass on the difference between expectations and boundaries, the thing 95% of the men he coaches get backwards. An expectation is a clearly communicated request you then release because you don't control the other person. A boundary is the part you own and enforce on yourself. He walked Rich through actual language, leading with structure, owning specific responsibilities, and turning a fight into a collaboration. The line that landed: uncommunicated expectations breed resentment. The second half got personal fast. Jason Grace, a leader in the Alliance who runs the divorce group, asked about the gap between being ready for a new stage of fatherhood and being willing to step into it. His daughter just graduated and is leaving for an equestrian science program in Virginia. Both Larry and Joe are living the same thing right now. Larry's son leaves for the University of Arkansas on August 6th, and he choked up describing the 5.5-hour campfire conversation they shared on a recent trip. Joe read Psalm 127 and the picture of children as arrows, the archer deciding how he launches them into the world. If you've got a kid getting close to leaving, or a marriage where you feel like you're carrying it alone, this one is for you. Timeline Summary [1:01] Larry welcomes July, turns 51, and extends his birthday promotion with a hard stop on July 31st [3:06] Joe checks in from a new location mid-move, and the hosts set up the marriage and fatherhood themes [4:04] Rich asks for help with a marriage that feels one-sided on compromises, budgeting, and household responsibilities [7:23] Joe makes the case against compromising because regret is baked into it, and reframes the answer as leading [9:25] How Joe and Ivy handle money with separate accounts and real trust instead of monitoring every dollar [12:48] Joe on the socks he trained himself to notice and paying attention to what matters to your wife [14:39] Why underlying resentment is the biggest turnoff and will sabotage how you lead at home [16:24] Larry breaks down the difference between expectations and boundaries that 95% of men get backwards [18:38] The clean room example showing why clarity beats assuming people should just know [20:16] Larry gives Rich exact language to open the conversation without it landing as an attack [21:35] How to lead with structure by owning specific responsibilities and inviting your wife to collaborate [24:27] Joe warns against tying too much to one conversation and shares the expectancy versus expectations idea [27:17] Larry asks Jason Grace about the gap between readiness and willingness as kids hit new stages [29:06] Larry talks through his son leaving for Arkansas on August 6th and the 5.5-hour campfire conversation [36:14] Joe reads Psalm 127 and the picture of children as arrows the archer launches into the world [40:18] The real readiness question is whether you've made your kids ready, and why it's never too late Five Key Takeaways Stop compromising and start leading. Compromise has regret built into it, so instead of giving something up and quietly resenting it, decide what your household needs and choose to lead in that area. Resentment leaks out no matter how well you execute. Your wife can sense your discontent through your body language and energy, so address the underlying resentment before you ever try to change the dynamic at home. Expectations and boundaries are not the same thing. An expectation is a request you communicate clearly and then release because you don't control the other person, while a boundary is the part you own and enforce on yourself. Uncommunicated expectations breed resentment. Don't assume your partner should just see how much you're doing and step up, because adults need to hear things at least three times, and it's on you to communicate clearly and calmly. You'll never be fully willing to let your kids go, so focus on whether you've made them ready. The readiness that matters isn't yours, it's whether you've given your kids the tools, the faith, and the foundation to face the world and pick themselves back up when they fall.

Go back to the moment Larry described sitting at that campfire until 12:26 a.m., having the longest and best conversation he's ever had with his son, and ask yourself where you can create that kind of connection this month. Don't lose the battle for someone's heart just to win an argument, and don't wait until the last few years, because they fly by faster than anything.

In this episode, Dr. Finlayson-Fife joins Susie Pettit of the Love Your Life Show to talk about resentment as a signal worth listening to, the difference between selflessness and self-erasure, and what it actually takes for women to step fully into their own lives, their relationships, and their desire.
Getting it all off your chest is supposed to be healing. But sometimes the venting that feels like relief is quietly feeding your resentment instead. In this episode, Dr. Greg sits down with Fr. Gregory Pine—author of Training the Tongue—to explore why the deepest purpose of speech is communion, and how to tell the difference between working through your pain and simply settling the score. Key Topics: Why the real purpose of speech isn't expressing yourself — it's communion How to tell whether you're venting toward healing or just venting to settle the score Why the friend who only ever agrees with you might be the one holding you back What separates a listener who helps you grow from one who only feeds your anger Why "getting it off your chest" can leave the wound exactly where it was How custody of the tongue is good news, not one more rule to feel guilty about Learn More: Fr.

There is a feeling many people in midlife carry that does not have a name, a clear cause, or anyone to blame. It shows up when you have been the dependable one long enough that dependable starts to feel like a cage. Or when you have handled everything capably and walked away feeling hollowed rather than proud. Or when you have given more than you have received for so long that the imbalance stopped feeling like generosity and started feeling like the terms of your life.In this solo episode, Jonathan Fields examines what he calls diffuse resentment, a specific, accumulated form of feeling that is distinct from the anger or grievance most people recognize as resentment. It does not have an address. It does not require a villain. And because it feels illegitimate, because the voice in your head says you made these choices, you have so much to be grateful for, it tends to go unexamined, parked, managed, and silently expensive.In this solo episode, Jonathan draws on his own experience, research from psychologists Jennifer Lerner, Laura Carstensen, James Pennebaker, and Nick Epley, and thousands of conversations over 14 years of doing this work, to offer a way of looking at this feeling directly.In this episode, you will explore:The five territories where diffuse resentment most reliably lives, the calcified role, the invisible labor ledger, the deferred self, relational drift, and the unlived pathWhy midlife is specifically when this feeling tends to become unavoidable, and why it often intensifies precisely when things are going wellWhat the research on emotional suppression actually shows about the cost of carrying unexamined feelingsTwo movements (not steps) for beginning to look at this honestly, and why the first must come before the second is possibleWhat becomes available on the other side: accuracy, energy, and a different quality of closeness in the relationships that matter mostIf you have been explaining away a feeling you cannot quite name, this episode is for you.Episode TranscriptNext week, we're sitting down with David Epstein to talk about something that runs against just about everything the self-help world has told you about freedom and options: why the constraints, limits, and boundaries you have been trying to escape are often the very conditions that make creativity, focus, and satisfaction actually possible. It is a genuinely counterintuitive conversation, and it is the kind that stays with you.
