We are posing another question today. The Majority of School Boards in Alberta have said No, the opposition has been vocal in it's opposition to it, but the Alberta Government is still looking at moving forward with it's proposed K-6 Draft Curriculum. According to Alberta Education, Parents and teachers have waited a long time for a curriculum that brings a renewed focus to literacy, numeracy, citizenship and practical skills. The revised and strengthened Kindergarten to Grade 6 (K-6) curriculum gives students a strong base of essential knowledge for future learning. We chat with educator Wade Hutchinson who talks about his views on the proposed draft curriculum, the good the bad and the ugly of the draft curriculum, and where this heads as we are just over 26 months away from the next provincial election. So todays question is, "Is the new draft curriculum good or bad?" *************************************************** Links to Resources Mentioned During the Interview: Dr. Angela Grace Youtube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCezDojLfmDVe9c1K4kTLGYw?app=desktop&fbclid=IwAR1JR-yjo4vPjjamoVwmt-UTMc2tCici905XMub9omimc3ITwY9V1ZRHG9U Dr. Carla Peck Blog: https://carlapeck.wordpress.com/blog/?fbclid=IwAR1JR-yjo4vPjjamoVwmt-UTMc2tCici905XMub9omimc3ITwY9V1ZRHG9U Students Deserve Better Lawn Sign: https://www.studentsdeservebetter.ca/ Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/353881362641844/ *************************************************** Follow the Cross Border Interview Podcast: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CrossBorderPod Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviewPodcast Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI2i25ZVKTO84oUsLyO4jig Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/ Back the Show: https://www.patreon.com/CrossBoderInterviewPodcast The Cross Border Interview Podcast was Produced and Edited by Miranda, Brown & Associates Inc. © 2022

Jennifer, having taken the training, shares her insights with Natasha about the training and, although it’s a step in the right direction, she validates some of the fears of it not being run by a third party, that there is no accountability as to what was involved in the training through trauma-informed lens, and of course, nothing is being done about one-on-one worthiness interviews.

Jesus came to extend radical love and compassion to "the least of these," (Matthew 25:40) - people pushed to the margins of society. We chat with Rev. Dr. Heber Brown III, Senior Minister at Pleasant Hope Baptist Church, social entrepreneur and activist,  about how he centers social justice in his ministry, the significance of the black church - its origins, roots, pioneering thinkers and theologians - and why we must come to understand Jesus as a community organizer, who came to "preach the good news to the poor." (Luke 4:18)  This is part 1 of our discussion, stay tuned for part 2, released next week, the first Friday of Black History Month.  More on Rev. Dr. Heber Brown, III: He is the Founding Director of Orita’s Cross Freedom School. Based on the Freedom Schools of the 1960's, Dr. Brown works to reconnect Black youth to their African heritage while providing them hands-on learning opportunities to spark their creative genius and build vocational skills.​ Additionally, in 2015 he launched the Black Church Food Security Network a multi-state alliance of congregations working together to inspire health, wealth and power in the Black Community.  The BCFSN accomplishes this by partnering with historically African American churches to establish gardens on church-owned land and cultivates partnerships with African American farmers to create a grassroots, community-led food system.

In so doing, we can start to know the truest things again. We can preach them to our own hearts until we actually believe them. @hopeheals Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God. - Corrie ten Boom God made you to do the hard thing in the good story He's writing for your life.

Is there a way to fight with your spouse without the argument blowing up into World War III? We previously discussed what to do with perpetual conflicts and how a conflict-free marriage should not be your goal because it’s impossible. On Episode 114, we want to dive deeper into those “solvable conflicts” and how you can fight with your spouse without ruining your marriage.  While conflict is inevitable in a marriage, we’ve learned through experience that there are many different ways we can fight; and some fights may last longer or hurt deeper than we intended because of the “weapon of choice” we choose to battle with. Here are 5 tools you can use during your next argument to help defuse the flames of a fight.  In This Episode, You Will Hear About: The difference between solvable and perpetual conflicts A new model for solving your solvable problems in your marriage 5 steps to helping you fight with your spouse without ruining your marriage:  Soften your start-up Learn to send and receive repair attempts Sooth yourself and each other Finding common ground Address emotional injuries  Questions to ask your spouse about soothing and self-soothing: What makes us feel flooded? How do we bring up issues or complaints? When you feel flooded, is there something I can do to soothe you? How do you think you could soothe me when I feel flooded? What signals can we send each other when we feel flooded so we can take breaks and soothe each other?

They are unsolvable. @Gottmaninst How a conversation starts predicts how it will end. @imbetweenshow If you start off your conversation harshly, chances are that the discussion will continue to escalate and it will turn into a full blown fight. @imbetweenshow When a spouse starts the conversation gently, it communicates respect and causes both partners to feel positive about themselves and their marriage. @Gottmaninst Flooding makes repair attempts physically impossible to hear. @Gottmaninst If emotional injuries aren’t addressed, they tend to become constant irritants. @Gottmaninst it's impossible to come to an agreement unless you accept your spouse's flaws and quirks. We all know no one is perfect, but somehow during conflicts, we can get stuck and weighed down by the “if only…” @imbetweenshow Coming to an agreement or compromise is not about one person changing or “giving up".

You just have to know how to fight. @RosieMakinney With a porn addiction, you can't think your way into right actions, but you can act your way into right thinking. @RosieMakinney Porn addiction is an intimacy disorder. It's the fact that we've never been authentic and connected with anyone. @RosieMakinney The only way effective way to deal with a porn addiction in your marriage is to take a stance of zero tolerance. And the sooner, the better. @RosieMakinney It's time for Christian women to stand up and say, "Enough." Enough blaming ourselves, enough trying to compete, enough buying our heads in the sand, enough hiding our hearts, enough keeping our voices silent on the matter, and enough waiting for him to change. If your marriage has been hijacked by porn, the most faithful way to love your husband is to send a strong message of zero tolerance. @RosieMakinney It is deception, not the truth, that destroys marriages. @RosieMakinney God's plan for recovery isn't just about removing porn for your marriage, it's about totally transforming your entire lives. And that may include sexual wholeness beyond what you ever imagined or thought possible. @RosieMakinney  Subscribe and Connect With Us: Apple Podcasts Spotify Stitcher Google Podcasts Google Play Instagram - @imbetweenshow Twitter - @imbetweenshow Facebook - @imbetweenshow Pinterest - @imbetweenshow YouTube - @imbetweenpodcast And don't forget to subscribe to our podcast, so that you will never miss an episode! _________________________________________________________________ Meet Rosie Makinney: Rosie Makinney is a writer, speaker, and podcaster, who ten years ago entered the fight against her husband’s porn addiction.

Do you believe that not having conflict with your spouse is a sign of a healthy marriage? While, it may seem like couples that don’t disagree or argue, seem to have a good marriage, there is more to the story. On Episode 106, Daniel and Christina discuss why a conflict-free marriage should not be your goal.  In This Episode, You Will Hear About: The difference between solvable and perpetual conflicts Three important perspective shifts when approaching perpetual conflict with your spouse What the 4 Horsemen Of The Apocalypse are Criticism Contempt Defensiveness Stonewalling  Why the 4 Horsemen are so dangerous to your marriage How winning an argument is actually losing  Resources Mentioned During the Episode: The 7 Principals For Making Marriage work by Dr. John Gottman Eight Dates: Essential Conversations for a Lifetime of Love by Dr. John Gottman The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide To Strengthening Your Marriage by Dr. John Gottman Created For Connection by Dr. Sue Johnson  4 Keys to Surviving Marital Stress 7 Ways To Breathe Life Back Into Your Marriage (interview with Karen Ehman)  4 Things To Remember When Marriage is Hard  Marriage: The Good, The Hard, and The Beautiful (interview with Gary Thomas)  Quotes and Tweets: Your spouse is not the enemy. @imbetweenshow If you win an argument, you actually both lose. @imbetweenshow 69% of problems in a relationship are perpetual.

What does it mean to talk to our kids about race? What does it mean to engage in conversations of justice, race and privilege, in the context of diversity? How do we approach these conversations with our kids even when it's hard? What if we don't know what to say? On Episode 105, we interview Cara Meredith about talking to your kids about racism and racial justice.  In This Episode, You Will Hear About: How to talk about racism with your children and teens, even if you don't know what to say The importance of diverse children's literature in your home Resources to help you and your children continue to learn and talk about racism  Resources Mentioned During the Episode: Some of Cara Meredith's recommendations for diverse children's literature (including books for tweens and younger teens): God's Dream by Desmond Tutu God's Very Good Idea by Trillia Newbell The World Is Awake by Linsey Davis Listening With My Heart by Gabi Garcia A full list of Cara's recommended diverse children's literature A full list of Cara's diverse children's literature Recommended Reading List   Pick up a copy of Cara Meredith's book, The Color of Life: A Journey Toward Love and Racial Justice  Resources to learn more about racism (for older teens and adults) Be The Bridge: Pursuing God's Heart for Racial Reconciliation by Latasha Morrison  The Color of Compromise by Jemar Tisby I'm Still Here by Austin Channing Brown  Just Mercy by Byan Stevenson The study that Cara mentions about how children as young as 6 months old can distinguish someone of a different race Prophetic Lament: A Call For Justice In Troubled Times by Soong Chen-Ra Quotes and Tweets: Children are not colorblind. @caramac54 When talking to your kids about racism, start where you are at.

But my marching is for a justice and a wholeness and peace that are also mine. When I allow redemption to take hold of me, I can't help but want this redemption for everyone. @caramac54 We had to learn how to hold the oppressor and honor the oppressed, for love can redeem everything, including both the oppressor and the oppressed. We had to enter the fullness of lament. @caramac54 It's a matter of mothers and fathers everywhere, of flesh and blood, of adoption and circumstance, embracing each and every one of our children. @caramac54 No longer do we ignore the suffering and pain and death of others, but with compassion as our only sword, we listen and we enter in to heartache. @caramac54 Fighting for justice isn't something we do for others, but it' something we do for ourselves. @caramac54   Subscribe and Connect With Us: Apple Podcasts Spotify Stitcher Google Podcasts Google Play Instagram - @imbetweenshow Twitter - @imbetweenshow Facebook - @imbetweenshow Pinterest - @imbetweenshow YouTube - @imbetweenpodcast And don't forget to subscribe to our podcast, so that you will never miss an episode! _________________________________________________________________ Meet Cara Meredith: Cara Meredith is a writer and speaker whose work has appeared in numerous publications, including Christianity Today, iBelieve, and For Every Mom.

Thank you for listening to Mormon Sex Info. This episode is an archived episode and is only now becoming publicly available. Mormon Sex Info relies on contributions. To contribute, please visit: mormonsex.info Natasha Helfer Parker interviews Dr. Doug Braun-Harvey for part one in a 6-part series  to discuss the principles of sexual health developed by the World Health Organization. The first principle of consent is discussed in length and detail. Many assume this is a simple concept, and yet we see in much of our national discussion today, that it’s much more complicated than we’ve assumed in the past. This is a principle the majority of people agree with regardless of culture, race, socio-economic status, gender, etc. And yet it goes profoundly wrong on a regular basis as we can see by the #metoo movement with so many sharing publicly (often for the first time) where they were involved with sexual encounters that were non-consensual. Such an important conversation with implications for ourselves, for our children, for our relationships and for our communities. Douglas Braun-Harvey is a sexual health author, trainer and psychotherapist. Doug is a co-founder of the The Harvey Institute, an international education, training, consulting and supervision service for Improving health care through integration of sexual health. He teaches and trains nationally and internationally linking sexual health principles within drug and alcohol treatment, group psychotherapy, HIV prevention and treatment, and child maltreatment. Previous publications include “Sexual Health in Recovery: Professional Counselor’s Manual” (2011) and “Sexual Health in Drug and Alcohol Treatment: Group Facilitator’s Manual”(2009). Doug is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Group Psychotherapist and Certified Sex Therapist. He currently serves as Treasurer of AASECT and, as an alumni of the University of Minnesota, to join their Advisory Board for the Program in Human Sexuality in which he is a founding donor of the Doug Braun-Harvey Fellowship in Compulsive Sexual Behavior. He has been providing individual and group therapy in his San Diego private practice since 1987.

What makes you powerful? What makes you strong?

These men and women knew God so well. @cathparks The Bible doesn't tell us our purpose in life is to do big things or change the world. Instead, it says we're crated in the image of God - we're made to show the world the glory of God! @cathparks Loving God and others means standing up for justice, being self-less, using our gifts, and many other things.

In so doing, we can start to know the truest things again.

Dr. Klein  presented at the Rocky Mountain Sex & Intimacy Summit in Salt Lake City, September 22-23, 2017. They discuss some of the societal and relational challenges that have taken place since the advent of broadband internet, and how we are often having the wrong conversations. Instead of focusing on important discussions in regards to our sexuality, our fears, our intimacy needs/wants, etc., we keep the focus on “porn panic” rhetoric, which is subject to many myths and misinformation. This has significant implications not only for couples and individuals, but for how we parent and educate our teens. The importance of being willing to challenge our biases around meanings and assumptions we make about pornography and be open to expert research & facts, is paramount in being able to move into healthier sexual narratives and relationships.

On Episode 92, Daniel and Christina interview author Jamie Sumner about the joys and challenges of raising a special needs child with Cerebral Palsy. According to the CDC, 1 in 6 children ages 3 to 17 have a developmental disability (​Source​). Parents raising kids with special needs live exhausting, often unseen and challenging lives. Jamie reminds them that they are not alone. Because of God’s grace, parents can find joy, beauty and hope every day.  With a mixture of humor, honesty, and hope, Jamie Sumner brings comfort to other parents - like herself - who need to hear that God has made them more than capable to raise their special kids.  In This Episode, You Will Hear About: Encouragement for special needs parents. What it looks like to bury your fear in trust so it rises again as bravery. When you should advocate for your child and when you should take a step back. How to show your special needs child that their future is lit with a brilliant, heavenly light. Resources Mentioned During the Episode: Purchase a copy of Jamie's newest book, Eat, Sleep, Save The World: Words Of Encouragement For The Special Needs Parent  Check out Jamie's other books, Unbound:Finding Freedom From The Unrealistic Expectations of Motherhoodand Roll With It - a big-hearted middle grade story about an irrepressible girl with cerebral palsy whose life takes an unexpected turn when she moves to a new town. To find out more about Jamie and her family, visit her at​ ​www.jamie-sumner.com​ Quotes and Tweets: It is we, their parents, who must lead the life of Lazarus. We have died a thousand tiny deaths as we watch them fight their war. We are the dead we come back again to testify to all that God has and is doing for our children. @jamiesumner It’s okay to be angry. Really. It’s an emotion, just like sadness or joy or grief or hope. It’s what you do with the anger that counts. So feel it and then let it pass. Entrust it to God. Entrust your child’s care to Him. Count to ten, or a million, and then pray. Let Him provide another way to handle the difficult situation or person. You simply have to be still long enough to let Him go about His work. @jamiesumner Go now and live in laughter and exuberance for the future that is yours in Christ. Hug your kids and help them see this promise too. This is your calling as a parent: to show your children that their future is lit with a brilliant, heavenly light. @jamiesumner Fear of the unknown is a key player in the special needs game and perhaps the most seductive. There is just so much unknown. It hovers, like a distant tidal wave in the ocean and we watch with our toes in the sand, waiting to see if it will come crashing down. But what would it look like if we buried that fear in so much trust that it rises again as bravery? Because, if, or when, or greatest fear is realized, we cannot let it sink us. @jamiesumner Sometimes advocating as a parent involves silence and distance to encourage independence, and other times it involves stepping in to make change happen for the better. It takes a lot of prayer and stillness to discern what times call for what measure. @jamiesumner Subscribe and Connect With Us: Apple Podcasts Spotify Stitcher Google Podcasts Google Play Instagram - @imbetweenshow Twitter - @imbetweenshow Facebook - @imbetweenshow Pinterest - @imbetweenshow And don't forget to subscribe to our podcast, so that you will never miss an episode! ___________ Meet Jamie Sumner:  Jamie Sumner​ has written for the “New York Times” and the “Washington Post,” among many other publications.

Maybe it doesn’t even matter whether couples agree or disagree. Maybe the important thing is how you pay attention to each other, no matter what your spouse is talking about or doing. @gottmaninst Simply put, successful couples are attentive. They listen, and they put their phones down when the other person wants to chat. @gottmaninst Gottman found when couples break up, it’s usually not because of issues like big fights or infidelity. More often, it’s a result of the resentment and distance that builds up over time when partners continually turn away from bids for connection.@gottmaninst Seek to understand the situation and your spouse's feelings. @imbetweenshow Assumicide is when we incorrectly believe we know another person’s thoughts, feelings, and motivations. We assume we understand why they are behaving in a particular way, and then we respond without asking clarifying questions. @enneagram_coach Subscribe and Connect With Us: Apple Podcasts Stitcher Google Play Spotify Instagram - @imbetweenshow Twitter - @imbetweenshow Facebook - @imbetweenshow And don't forget to subscribe to our podcast, so that you will never miss an episode!

Thank you for listening to Mormon Sex Info. This episode is an archived episode and is only now becoming publicly available. Mormon Sex Info relies on contributions. To contribute, please visit: mormonsex.info Natasha Helfer Parker continues her interview with Ryan Flake, who was referred to the LDS Addiction Recovery Program by his bishop due to confessions about viewing sexually explicit material and masturbation. They discuss his upbringing as a Mormon and the many messages he received from an early age that contributed to quite a bit of sexual shame by the time Ryan was preparing to go on a mission, even though he was not having any relational sexual experiences. Ryan’s story does a good job of highlighting how certain rigid expectations and attributed meanings can do harm in regards to self-esteem, anxiety management, relational dynamics, sexual development and self-identity. Ryan talks about his experience with the ARP and how he found the messaging shaming and unhelpful in his particular situation where “addiction” was not a correct assessment. It is the hope of podcasts like these to educate the public about the difference between things such as chemical dependency from relational and behavioral problems that are more common among the general population. It is important to get help and find adequate resources for whatever issues one might be facing. Correct assessment and competent professional help are vital first steps. Unfortunately, the research shows that mental health professionals who come from a religious background themselves, will be more willing to follow a “sex” or “porn addiction” model even though there is no such formal diagnosis. Therefore, the Mormon community needs to be aware that getting adequate help for this topic is complicated and one needs to use caution and good research to get appropriate help.

Imagine what would happen if you stopped expecting your spouse to make you happy? What if you no longer believed that a good marriage is something you find, but rather it is something you work for? How would your relationship change if you embraced difficult times as a season of your marriage instead of an excuse to leave it? On Episode 86, Daniel and Christina interview best selling author, Gary Thomas, about God's beautiful design for marriage. Gary will help us stop highlighting where our spouse falls short and encourage us to focus on the divine mysteries of marriage and the lessons it has to teach us.  BOOK LAUNCH GIVEAWAY: Want to win a pair of these AMAZING wireless earbuds?

We have to look at our disappointments, own up to our ugly attitudes, and confront our selfishness." @garyLthomas "Romantic love has no elasticity to it. It can never be stretched; it simply shatters. Mature love, the kind demanded of a good marriage, must stretch, as the sinful human condition is such that all of us bear conflicting emotions." @garyLthomas "We can run from the challenges of marriage, or we can admit that every marriage presents these challenges and asks us to address them head on." @garyLthomas "It's not holy instead of happy. Holiness preserves happiness." @garyLthomas "You are going to have good seasons, quiet seasons, and frustrating seasons in your marriage. But, you don't define your marriage by any particular season." @garyLthomas "Marriage calls us to an entirely new and selfless life." @garyLthomas "Though marriage is an amazing institution that reflects God's creative genius, when we want to get the largest portion of our life's fulfillment from our relationship with our spouse, that's asking too much.

To contribute, please visit: mormonsex.info Natasha Helfer Parker continues her interview with Dr. Daniel Parkinson, a psychiatrist who was raised Mormon and left the church partly due to being gay, and Thomas Montgomery, Mormon father of a gay son and husband to Wendy Montgomery who helped found the Mama Dragons. Both men recently collaborated on some articles they decided to publish on the same day, Utah’s Escalating Suicide Crisis and LDS LGBTQ Despair on Rational Faiths and Rejection and the Family on No More Strangers. They discuss the alarming increase in suicide rates in Utah — a trend that has been apparent since the Church’s involvement in Prop 8, increased focus on anti-gay rhetoric in talks over the pulpit and the “November 5th policy” which specifically calls out homosexual marriage as a sin worthy of excommunication going as far as disallowing children who reside in such marriages to participate in Mormon ordinances. Many from within church activity dismiss this type of “anecdotal evidence” stating that one can not blame the Church or any one reason for something as complicated as suicide. Both interviewer and interviewees challenge this type of thinking and call on leaders and members alike to take note and be alarmed at the harm that is being done to LGBT+ members across the age spectrum. With the April 2017 Ensign having yet another anti-LBGT article being published just this coming month… these types of podcasts sharing valuable information can be life-saving to many within our midst.

It's the belief that you can shape and mold them into your image and likeness–that you have not only created them but can sustain them." @danielsangi "Underneath the surface, children who grow up with prideful parents that believe this lie–you are who you raise–will never feel accepted just as they are." @danielsangi "I get that there are times where tough love is necessary, but doesn't every child ultimately need to experience unconditional love and affection from his or her parents?" @danielsangi "Unfortunately, children who have been parented according to this lie–you are who you raise– often grow up believing that contentment is found in pleasing others, since this was the pattern set for them as children." @danielsangi  "No one's purpose in life should be to redeem someone else's unhappiness–neither through success nor through any other means. That is not a way to live, and it applies a weight that no person can shoulder." @danielsangi "Forgiveness is something you can do regardless of the other party, whereas reconciliation requires both parties to do the hard work of repeatedly repairing and restoring trust over time." @danielsangi   Subscribe and Connect With Us: Apple Podcasts Stitcher Google Play Spotify Instagram - @imbetweenshow Twitter - @imbetweenshow Facebook - @imbetweenshow For the full show notes, go to IMbetween.org/episode85

With the April 2017 Ensign having yet another anti-LBGT article being published just this coming month… these types of podcasts sharing valuable information can be life-saving to many within our midst.

We live in a day and age of fake news where half-truths are everywhere. At first glance, these partial truths don't seem so hard to swallow. We desire peace in our hearts, in our minds, and in our bodies. So, we become less busy or busier. We set goals of numbers that we want to see on the scale by January 31st. We get a new planner to fill with all the things we want to do. We buy into the lie that we are what we do, we are what the scale says we have become, and we are what the calendar block of the day tells us. It's not the outright harmful, evil, or unjust lies that are dangerous; they are the easily recognizable ones. However, the half-truths - the ones that mingle truth and falsehood with the deliberate intent to deceive? Those are the ones we need to pay attention to.  On Episode 82, Daniel and Christina Im walk through two of the common lies that we believe about ourselves reframed as half-truths: You are what you do and You are your past. These two lies are from Daniel's book, You Are What You Do: And Six Other Lies about Work, Life, and Love. Grab Your FREE Guide to Setting a SMART Goal: This printable will help you set and achieve your goals in 2020. We can't wait to hear all about the goals you have smashed this year! In This Episode, You Will Hear About: Daniel's latest book, You Are What You Do and Six Other Lies About Work, Life, & Love The lies we believe about ourselves The dangers of believing that you are what you do and you are your past Why we need to overcome these lies and how to overcome them  Resources Mentioned During the Episode: Grab a copy of Daniel's new book, You Are What You Do and Six Other Lies About Work, Life, & Love Listen to our This Is Us episode where we share about our past and the purpose of our podcast  Quotables & Tweetables: "A life dictated by doing is not much of a life at all." @danielsangi "Freedom and flexibility are hallmarks of the gig economy." @danielsangi "In doers, I don't want to trust."@danielsangi "No wonder we over-identify with our jobs - we've been conditioned to do so, both from within and from without."@danielsangi "Unfortunately, the thing about pretending is that it always leads to anxiety.

He talks about how these detractors are much more common in creating problems in the bedroom than any type of official disorder or dysfunction, and how with a combination of relational tools, self-awareness and a willingness to address these detractors head on… many couples can make a significant difference in the quality of their sex life together.   Dr. David Hersh is one of North America’s noted Sex Therapists. Originally from Brooklyn, New York, he completed his college and university studies at American International College, where he received a Bachelor’s degree in 1963.

Dr. Hersh has lived and practiced in Canada since 1990, where he became a Canadian citizen in 2006. He sees patients in Calgary, AB, Nelson, BC, and San Francisco, California. His emphasis is on counselling couples and individuals to achieve their greatest relationship potential, beyond the diagnosis and treatment of relationship and/or sexual concerns, to reach the most exciting levels of their relationship with their partners. Dr. Hersh is a Professional Member of AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists). He is also a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC), a Board Certified Sexologist by the American College of Sexologists (ACS), a Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Sexologists (ABS), and a Founding Fellow of the American Academy of Clinical Sexologists (FAACS).

What separates happy marriages from miserable ones? What if we told you that you could have a stronger, healthier, more joy-filled marriage in just 15 minutes a day? Sound too good to be true? Authors Marcus Warner and Chris Coursey have studied relationships (and neuroscience) and discovered the joy gap - a length of time between moments of shared joy. When the joy gap gets bigger, problems are more likely to overwhelm you, resentment creeps in, and you start to feel distant and alone in your marriage. When the joy gap is smaller, you regularly feel connected, happy, and your marriage is a source of joy.  On Episode 80, Daniel and Christina interview Marcus Warner and Chris Coursey (co-authors of The 4 Habits of Joy-Filled Marriages) about how 15 minutes a day, and brain science hacks, can boost your emotional, spiritual, and physical connection with your spouse.  In This Episode, You Will Hear About: How 15 minutes a day will help you stay in love The connection between brain science and having joy in your marriage What the joy gap is, why it matters, and how to shrink it Learn how to return to joy more quickly after disconnection 4 habits that shrink the joy gap: Play together Listening for emotion Appreciate daily Nuture a rhythm  Resources Mentioned During the Episode: Grab your copy of Marcus Warner and Chris Coursey's book The 4 Habits of Joy-Filled Marriages: How 15 Minutes a Day Will Help You Stay in Love Wanting to hear more about how to stay in love?

Pull up a chair, your favorite beverage and get comfy! You don't want to miss our conversation with visual artist Paige Meredith. This was recorded on the go so excuse some of the slight background noise. Paige has such a heart for lifting up others through her artwork. We know you'll leave this conversation inspired. She is a self-taught illustrator living and working in the beautiful Ozark hills of Northwest Arkansas. Days spent in the studio consist of making both digital art on her iPad and more traditional art with an absurdly large collection of watercolor, acrylic paint, gold foil, micron pens, color pencils, as well as another ridiculously massive collection of audiobooks. Because, Paige says, "I love getting lost in a story almost as much as I love making my own. And both at the same time are my happy place... Encouragement makes the world better by reminding us that we each have a gift to with which to make the world sparkle. To put more encouragement into the world {whether through a reminder that you can stick on your computer or a class where you can explore your creativity} : that’s why I’m here."  We delved into quite a bit during this episode:  - Being community taught as an artist - recognizing that all we learn comes from numerous sources.  - Joy and creativity as forms of revolution and resistance!  - How living with a learning difference (ADD) helps her build  a community which goes beyond the surface. - Moving away from the guilt so often associated with being a Mama, and learning to center self care.  - What it means to live out your faith / commitment to change.  Stay Connected with Paige: Paige Meredith Art Find her on Instagram: @_paigemeredith_  Resources Mentioned During this Episode: The Year of Yes, Shonda Rhimes Reject the Hustle (a new movement...)  Make sure you pop over to their blog!  Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones, James Clear  Stay Connected with Pray with our Feet: IG: @praywithourfeet  Twitter: @praywithourfeet  This podcast is generously edited by my hubby, Kes, a talented videographer / photographer / editor at www.keston.online.

With so much media and public emphasis on looking at any sexual behavioral problem through an addictions lens, Doug and Michael have developed a sexual health assessment and treatment protocol for people who present to a therapy office with sexual behaviors that feel out of control to them. This can be the case for a variety of reasons that need to be adequately assessed.

Douglas Braun-Harvey is a sexual health author, trainer and psychotherapist. Doug is a co-founder of the The Harvey Institute, an international education, training, consulting and supervision service for Improving health care through integration of sexual health.

Michael also offers local and national workshops for mental health providers and consumers on various sexual health topics, including out of control sexual behavior assessment and treatment, psychotherapy with lesbian, gay and bisexual clients and integrating sexual health into psychotherapy. Michael is a member of the American Group Psychotherapy Association, the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality,  the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists and the American Association of Marriage & Family Therapists.

To contribute, please visit: mormonsex.info Natasha Helfer Parker interviews Dr. Stephanie Buehler, PhD in regards to how sexuality is commonly affected by infertility as well as how some sexual disorders can actually play a role in causing infertility. With 5-10% of couples facing some level of infertility in their family planning journey, this can be a sensitive and painful topic fraught with cultural, personal and religious pressures/messages. In addition, information surrounding treatment protocols can feel overwhelming and daunting for most couples to sort through. This podcast is meant to give informational and useful resources in helping couples navigate this difficult terrain, especially in the areas of sexual and relational health. Dr. Buehler is a graduate of UCLA, USC, Pepperdine University and Alliant University (formerly California School of Professional Psychology, San Diego).  She is the author of multiple articles in scientific journals and popular magazines and has been interviewed for various media outlets, including Men’s Health, New York Times, WebMD, and a Scientific American psychology textbook.
