Have you ever left a conversation thinking, That's not what I meant — and still felt the distance linger? Do you ever wonder why relationships feel exhausting, confusing, or fragile… even when you genuinely try to do the right thing? Dr. Alison is joined by counselor and author Debra Fileta for a conversation that names a quiet tension many people live with but rarely articulate. Sometimes the hardest part of relationships isn't a lack of love—it's the gap between what we intend and what others experience. Together, you'll explore: Why do the same relational patterns keep repeating? Why does communication break down so quickly under stress? Why do good intentions sometimes land as hurt or distant? Why does love feel like it should be enough… but often isn't? If you've ever thought, Why does this still feel so hard when I care so much? — this episode creates space to ask better questions, without pressure to already have the answers.
Every January, couples feel the pressure to do better… communicate better… fight less… have more sex… be more intentional.But most New Year resolutions don't fail because couples don't care — they fail because they're built on pressure instead of capacity.In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we unpack why real relationship change doesn't come from trying harder and what actually creates a lasting reset.This conversation invites couples to move beneath behaviour, habits, and willpower… and into nervous system awareness, embodied truth, and sustainable connection. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy most New Year resolutions are rooted in shame, judgment, and pressure, and why they collapse so quicklyHow ignoring the nervous system sabotages behaviour change, even when intentions are sincereWhy real transformation begins below the surface, not at the level of habits or communication scriptsThe difference between trying harder and building capacity, and why capacity is what relationships actually needHow tantra supports embodied presence instead of self-improvement and why this creates lasting intimacyWhy does one person choosing to go deeper often create safety for the other to follow You don't need a new version of yourself this year.You need more capacity to stay present, regulated, and connected when life gets real.That's the reset relationships actually need. ✨ Save your spot for our upcoming February and April Group Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

When life hits hard, most couples disconnect - not because they don't love each other, but because they don't know how to stay present in the face of shock, stress, or rupture.In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we share a raw, real-life moment where everything felt destabilized and how tantra became the bridge that brought them back together instead of pulling them apart.This conversation isn't theoretical.It's lived.It's embodied.And it reveals why this work actually creates lasting change, not by preventing hard moments, but by teaching couples how to return to connection when those moments arrive. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy tantra isn't about staying calm or spiritual… but about learning how to come back when you're activated or overwhelmedHow shock and stress land differently in each partner's nervous system, and why understanding this prevents blame and disconnectionWhat most couples do when life falls apart… and how presence, breath, and containment change the outcome completelyWhy repair doesn't have to be polite or pretty, and how honesty without harm creates real safetyHow delayed trauma shows up days or weeks later, and what allows it to complete instead of getting stuck in the bodyWhy tantra builds capacity for real life, not control over it, and how this deepens trust, intimacy, and erotic connectionWhat it actually means to choose each other again and again… even when everything feels uncertain Tantra works not because life gets easier… But because you learn how to stay connected when it doesn't. And that's the bridge back to each other. ✨ Save your spot for our upcoming February Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

The Big Picture Blueprint: Navigating Land, Real Estate, and Business Success
In this episode, we sit down with Chris Ramirez, a young land investor who went all in on real estate the moment college stopped making sense. He started in houses, tried a little bit of everything during the COVID years, then heard a land podcast and realized he could build something without tenants, repairs, or constant headaches. Three years later, he's running a simple, repeatable land operation that's doing real numbers, and he credits a lot of his early momentum to learning from Dan and staying locked in on the basics.We break down what actually drove his growth. He started with direct mail, spent about $1,500 on his first campaign, landed two infill lots, made around $15,000, and quit his warehouse job the next day because it proved the model worked. From there, he evolved from infill to recreational, then shifted into texting at scale because it let him control the conversation, tighten his offers, and follow up like a pro. You'll also hear the real side of land. Slower markets, deals that sit for months, the mistake of forcing tight spreads, and how local broker insight can save you from celebrating too early. Chris shares a recent deal that looked like a monster win until he learned the property had utility and build challenges, then had to renegotiate hard just to protect the downside. If you're building a land business, this conversation will help you think more clearly about marketing volume, offer strategy, novations, team leverage, and how to stay steady when the market shifts and the emotions get loud.===Key Topics:-Starting young and choosing land over houses-Building momentum through direct mail and texting-Controlling inputs instead of chasing outcomes-Avoiding forced deals in slower markets-Scaling with simple systems and a small team===If you're selling land and still relying on Facebook messages, you're making it harder than it needs to be. Acrefy helps land investors create clean, professional dispo websites where buyers can see everything in one place. It saves time, looks legit, and helps you close faster.

So many couples quietly fear that desire is gone for good… that stress, aging, or hormones have somehow ruined intimacy. In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we offer a powerful reframe: desire doesn't die. It goes offline when the body is overwhelmed.They explore how chronic stress, survival mode, and hormonal shifts shut down pleasure… and how safety, slowing down, and emotional repair bring intimacy back online in ways that feel nourishing instead of forced.This episode is for anyone who wants to stop blaming themselves or their partner and start understanding what their body is actually asking for. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy stress is one of the biggest desire killers and how survival mode overrides pleasure, connection, and libidoHow chronic nervous system activation makes intimacy feel like effort instead of restWhy does desire not disappearHow hormonal shifts in midlife alter the rules of intimacy, inviting presence over performanceWhy touch without agenda and connection without pressure are often what reignite desireHow unspoken resentment and lack of repair quietly shut down erotic alivenessDesire isn't broken.Your body is protecting you. And when safety returns, pleasure remembers how to rise again. ✨ Save your spot for our upcoming February Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

If you've ever filled journals with words but felt stuck turning them into a song—or if you have music you love but freeze when it's time to add lyrics—this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm sharing a simple way to move from journaling into song lyrics without forcing meaning, overthinking, or trying to get it “right.” We'll talk about how lyrics actually take shape over time, why journaling is already a powerful part of the songwriting process, and how to begin shaping words into songs in a way that feels natural. You'll learn: A simple process for shaping raw language into lyrics How to bridge the gap between words and music—whether you start with lyrics or melody How this fits into a gentle, repeatable songwriting practice This episode is especially for singer-songwriters who want a clear place to begin, without pressure to finish a song or have something profound to say right away. Most songs aren't written all at once (It can happen! Stay open to the magic!)— they're usually written in stages. This episode focuses on one of the most important ones.
As the year winds down, it's easy to feel like you should be doing more with your horse — even when the weather, daylight, and holiday chaos make that unrealistic.In this short episode, I'm sharing one simple way to end the year well with your horse — without rushing, drilling, or forcing yourself into a last-minute training push.I also talk about the LOPE Virtual Horse Show, a low-pressure, fun way to support LOPE and do something meaningful with your horse before the year ends.Registration is open through December 31 at 8 PM Central, and the best part is that videos aren't due until January 17 — so you can sign up now and film later, when the weather and schedule feel easier.It's a gentle, horsemanship-first way to close out the year — and a great way to support retired racehorses who are now teaching kids, adults, and communities through LOPE's programs.Learn more or register here: lopetx.org/showSometimes ending the year well doesn't mean doing more.It means choosing one good thing — and letting that be enough.For more information on my services, please go to horsewisecoach.com

Teaching manners isn't about rules and rigidity—it's about showing love, kindness, and respect to the people around us. In this conversation with Monica Irvine from The Etiquette Factory, we unpack simple and practical strategies for teaching manners in a way that sticks. You'll discover why manners are more than table rules and how they shape your children's character for life.If you've ever wondered how to teach manners without constant correction, this episode is full of practical stories, heart-tugging lessons, and family habits that make character training simple. Monica shares easy-to-implement tips to help kids feel valued, develop respect for others, and build lifelong relationship skills.What you'll learn in this episode:✅Why teaching manners is really about loving others✅The key mistake parents make with etiquette✅How to create “soft heart” moments for better learning✅Practical lessons your family can start using week✅How manners build humility, confidence, and strong relationshipsMonica Irvine is the President of The Etiquette Factory and co-Founder of Fundamentals4Kids. As a renowned national speaker and published author of over 20 books, Mrs Irvine delights in her passion for helping children and adults reach their full potential. Mrs Irvine is a retired homeschool mom who now enjoys the fruits of her labors watching her children raise her most loved grandchildren.Follow Monica Irvine and The Etiquette Factory on FacebookRecommended Resources:Character Training Tool KitCharacter Development Without the DramaCharacter Building in 3 StepsShow Notes: What It Really Means to Have MannersKerry: Well, let's talk about etiquette and manners. Could you tell our listeners just a little bit, maybe why is this so important? Especially in today's culture? And how does this go beyond just saying, please and thank you. I mean, please, and thank you are important, but that's just a little small part of it. So tell us why and what, how it goes beyond that.Monica: I know sometimes over the years I've told my husband I should have named the company something besides the etiquette factory, because I'll be at a convention and I can always see people's reaction. They look up and they read the sign, and I can read their brain often where they're going. Oh, that's great and all. But we've got more important things to worry about than what fork to eat your salad with and to me I know why it's so much more than that.Let me first give you the definition that we use for etiquette at the etiquette factory, and that is etiquette which manners and etiquette, chivalry all mean the same thing. Etiquette is helping those around us to feel valued, and comfortable.George Washington's Rules Changed EverythingMonica: Years ago I was homeschooling our kids, and we were studying the life of President George Washington. And what a fascinating life that man had! And as we were doing that I stumbled upon George Washington's rules of civility and decent behavior. Many of you have read a couple of those, if not just Google that. And you will see this list of 110 chivalry skills that, according to President Washington's journal, he put to memory at the age of 13 he actually copied these 110 chivalry rules out of a French book.As I started reading these rules, I just, I can just tell you the spirit penetrated my heart, and being the mom of 3 boys. I was like, Wow, you know, my boys, could benefit from knowing some of these? Of course, manners was always important to me. and so I said, You know, let's start trying to memorize one of these a week and kind of having a manners thing each week.We started memorizing these chivalry skills, and something happened. I started noticing a change in behavior. and it fascinated me because I was like, what's what's changed. I mean, I've always told my boys to have good manners. I've always taught them.The Problem with Teaching "In the Moment"Monica: I think a light bulb moment happened when it dawned on me that usually 98% of the time when I was trying to teach my children manners was in the moment of correcting, like my one of my kids would say or do something that wasn't the most polite, and I would be oh, honey, no, baby, you can't say that, that's not polite. And then I would go on to tell them why.When all of a sudden I shifted to start having a daily manners lesson during the school day, when my heart was softer. My children's hearts were softer because they weren't being fussed at. and we just had a discussion about well, how do we use our napkin correctly? Or how do you make an apology sound sincere. All of a sudden my boys would be like, Mom, let's do another one. What's the next one? Let's go ahead and talk about the next one. and it literally is what changed everything.Why Manners Really MatterMonica: Most people think of manners when they think of table manners right and usually family sit around the table, and for parents that manners are important to them. Their table sounds like this. Could you, too, with your mouth closed, honey, sit still in your chair, stop stop making that noise. Get your elbow off the table, and it's just this constant correcting.But when I teach kids the definition of manners and I use an example like this, I'm like, okay. So if I came over and had dinner with you all your family tonight. and I sat down and I started eating like a pig. I mean, y'all, I'm chewing with my mouth open. I am making some weird noise with my tongue, or I eat so fast that I'm finished getting up and leaving the table. When you're on your 3rd bite any of those behaviors, I would be sending your family a message, and that message would be, look, I'm here for one person, one person only, and that's myself.You see, the lack of manners is called selfishness. Manners is just trying to get me and you and all of us to look outward to pay attention to how our behavior or lack thereof, is causing other people around us to feel.Teaching Children to Feel Others' EmotionsKerry: I love the idea of being valued and being comfortable around someone. So I know this includes things like kindness and respect. Can you give us some ideas on how moms could either do that? Or my other thought was, how do they go from just learning the rules to actually internalizing some of that.Monica: For me, and the way we go about teaching children is we try to actually tug on their heartstring a little bit what I mean by that is, usually it's when it's when our emotions are hit that we change our behavior.So, for instance, let's say that our child has a habit of leaving their dirty clothes and wet towel on the bathroom floor, and most of us would handle it this way. Get your towel off the floor. Come, get your clothes. and usually it's in frustration right?Well, all of a sudden, when you sit down with your kids and say, let's let's talk about, for instance, the way we leave the bathroom for the next person that uses it. If if I go into the restroom and I make a mess. However that happens, whether it's my dirty clothes, my wet towel, I leave the sink full of spit and toothpaste, or I don't have the commode, you know, nice and tidy. Do you want? Do you want to come in after me?The Power of Standing to Show HonorMonica: So let me give you. I'll give you all a lesson. One of our lessons. So one of our lessons is the stand up lesson. So if if we were at an event and someone brought in the American flag, what would we all do? You know we stand up, and why do we stand up? Well, we we stand up because of the honor and respect that we have for what that flag represents.The same thing happens in our home. So the etiquette skill is that today, still, in the 21st century, it is polite for children to stand for adults and for gentlemen to stand for ladies. I use the word honor a lot because I want to raise and wanted to raise honorable children. What does it mean to be honorable? Well to be honorable. You have to do some honorable things and honorable things. Always 100% of the time require some level of sacrifice. That's what makes them honorable when you give of yourself in order to bless help someone else.So how would this look in our home? Our families still eat at the table at least 3 or 4 times a week. But so Mom or Dad might say, Hey, family, it's time for dinner. and so our family would come to the table, and all of us would stand behind our chair until the person we're honoring sits down. Typically, I would suggest that that person first be mom. So Mom is the first person that sits down or the cook.We're Creating Entitled ChildrenMonica: The last time you and your family had a big gathering, maybe 4th of July, who were actually the first people that had their plates prepared. 98% of you are, gonna say, the kids. because see? At some point our society decided that was easier. Oh, yeah. So we got to get the kids, get their plates, get their drink, make sure they have everything they need. And we think if we get the kids situated, then us adults can go over here and eat peacefully, because we're not being bothered by the needs of our children.And then we're the same adults that want to walk around this earth complaining about the entitled generation. And I'm like parents. So you're gonna let your children have their plates fixed before their grandmother. Are you crazy? We've got to stop it because I believe that this behavior is hurting our children.Simple Ways to Practice Valuing OthersMonica: When I'm teaching children and families how to help their children to greet people and introduce themselves. It's not just that we're supposed to introduce ourselves. It's just that greeting people is another way to help people to feel valued.For instance, the last time you and the children went through the Walmart checkout line. What were what were our children doing? Were they obsessing over the candy, mom, can I have this? Can I have this. Were we on our phone scrolling through social media while we're waiting, we're all getting tricked by the enemy into this self absorption.Whereas if I teach my kids how to value others right before we go through the groceries checkout line, I'm going to say, Hey, kids, what are we about to do check out, mom, what does that mean? We're going to help the cashier feel valued. That's right. And so then my children all know to say, Hello, how are you doing today? Oh, good afternoon! What's your name?Kerry: That's so good, you know, in the middle of what you were saying. But while back the word humility just kept coming up to my mind, and the idea of Philippians. 2. Where Jesus is the perfect example of humility and giving of himself. So I really appreciate you bringing this down to the gospel, and it really is sacrifice, and that there's benefits for all of us when we sacrifice.Resources and EncouragementMonica: So the etiquettefactory.com. We've got some wonderful programs. This is our preschool through 3rd grade course, called fundamentals for kids. With little kids, we find that they need to play a game. They need to sing about it, hear a story. Make a craft. And that's what fundamentals for kids is. It's twice a week you pull something out of the box and we help you have a conversation with your kids.And then the life skills for you is for 4th, 5th grade all the way through, seniors. In fact, it can count as a half a credit for our high school. We actually show videos of teenagers doing the skills the wrong way and the right way.Monica: Oh, just you know, if I could go back in time and tell my new homeschool mom self, give myself any advice. It would be relax. Relax. You know, if if we all sent our kids to public school. There would be some gaps in their education when they graduated. and if we sent them to private school there would be some gaps in their education. and as we homeschool when they graduate. there's going to be some gaps. But it doesn't matter about the gaps. What matters is that every day we try to help our children learn to love, to learn. and that's all that matters.In all the years that we homeschooled, y'all, we never finished curriculum. The only curriculum we ever finished. Every year was our math. But what happened is, we learned to love, to learn, and have very successful children who have done some really difficult things in their careers. It works itself out. But teaching character, teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. There is no substitute for that, and have some fun because you're making memories.Ready to start teaching manners in your home? Visit The Etiquette Factory to learn more about Monica's practical curriculum that makes teaching character and manners enjoyable for the whole family.
Is happiness a skill you can develop? Or is it a place you find yourself, if you're lucky? Today's podcast is a bonus episode that I've recorded, from me to you, to demonstrate that yes, happiness is about more than just chance. These special Boxing Day podcasts are becoming a bit of a tradition now (look out for one I'll be releasing on New Year's Day too). And in this one, I share five powerful ideas with you – five happiness habits that can transform your life in meaningful ways. They're all explored in much greater detail in my book Happy Mind Happy Life: 10 Simple Ways to Feel Great Every Day, which is being re-published in the UK in an exciting new format on 1 January 2026. But you can leverage your happiness levels right away by listening today. Here's a quick overview of what you'll learn: 1. Happiness is a Skill - Discover the difference between ‘junk happiness' and ‘core happiness' to feel more content, in control, and aligned with your values. 2. Define Success for Yourself - Imagine yourself on your deathbed and identify three things you'll wish you had done. What can you do now to move toward that ending? 3. Eliminate Choice - We make thousands of decisions a day, and each one drains mental energy. By creating routines and reducing choice, you can reduce that stress. 4. Make Time Stand Still - Identify ‘flow state' activities that make you lose track of time, and schedule them as investments in your happiness. 5. Seek Out Friction - If someone upsets you, ask yourself why their words affected you so much. Rewriting their story with compassion will increase your own sense of control. I hope this episode helps you and your family cultivate lasting happiness in 2026 and beyond. I explore all these ideas and many more in my newly formatted book Happy Mind Happy Life - available here as a paperback or as an audiobook, which I am narrating.

We're taught that real love should feel effortless… but the truth is that long-term love isn't something you fall into and stay in automatically. It's something you choose, nurture, and return to — again and again.In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples (formerly known as Get Your Sexy Back for Couples) , Kim & Roberto break down the fairytale myth of effortless love and reveal what actually makes relationships thrive: repair, truth, emotional presence, and the willingness to grow together.They share how old stories, early conditioning, and unconscious patterns shape adult relationships… and how choosing each other through the uncomfortable moments creates deeper safety, connection, and desire.This episode is a powerful reminder that the couples who thrive aren't the ones who avoid rupture — they're the ones who repair with intention and love. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy the belief that love should be effortless sets couples up for disappointment and disconnectionHow childhood stories, family patterns, and early relationships quietly shape what we expect from love as adultsWhy growth triggers old wounds and how those unconscious patterns show up inside long-term relationships.How repair is an erotic superpower and why it strengthens connection far more than avoiding conflict ever couldHow choosing each other again and again creates long-term love that feels grounded, safe, intimate, and wildly fulfilling Love isn't effortless… It's chosen. And when you choose each other with intention, your relationship becomes the most powerful place for healing and awakening. ✨ Save your spot for our upcoming February Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

Most of us want to love people well—especially when they’re hurting—but if we’re honest, we don’t always know how. We worry about saying the wrong thing, doing too little, or showing up too late. And sometimes, because of that uncertainty, we end up doing nothing. That’s why I’m so grateful for this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast. I’m joined by Christy Gandy, owner of Lovewell Collective, whose own experience with grief shaped a beautiful mission: helping people show up for others with practical love, kindness, and care—especially in life’s hardest seasons. In our conversation, Christy gently reminds us that loving well isn’t about fixing someone’s pain. It’s about helping them feel seen, remembered, and cared for. Sometimes love looks like presence. Sometimes it looks like a note, a prayer, or a small gift left on a porch. And often, it’s the simplest gestures that leave the deepest mark. My prayer is that this conversation encourages you—not with pressure, but with possibility. May it remind you that love, offered faithfully and humbly, always counts.

I once came upon a beautiful quote by Marianne Williamson. It said, "Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to realize how good things really are." What does it mean to have joy in your life? It is so easy to confuse joy and happiness as the same thing, but are they? Recently, I spent some time coaching a client on how to bring more joy into the everyday activities of her life.

After a cancer diagnosis, many women find themselves living in a constant state of fight-or-flight — even long after treatment ends. Anxiety, overwhelm, shallow breathing, and feeling "on edge" can become the new normal. In this solo episode of Not Today Cancer, I'm sharing why breathwork has become one of the most powerful (and accessible) healing tools in my own journey — and why it might be exactly what your nervous system needs right now. I love meditation and truly believe in its power. But what I've realized is that many women skip calming practices altogether because they don't feel they have the time to sit quietly for 10–20 minutes.
