Painful intercourse is a horrible experience for many reasons (especially when you're told to just relax or that it's all in your head...). Our guest today, Occupational Therapist Jess Seitz, shares how she uses her degree and personal experience overcoming 8 years of vaginismus to walk women through healing. This isn't just for the married ladies, though, but any woman experiencing pain inserting a tampon, having a pelvic exam, etc. She discusses the keys to success, including addressing the physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual influences that have an impact. If you experience pain, stinging, burning, pressure, or discomfort and you're not sure if there's anything that can be done, this episode is for you. NOTE: This episode is not appropriate for young audiences and does include anatomical terms and pointed discussion about intercourse.

Why do billionaires need coaching and how does that help you? Mastering Force vs. Generative Energy Episode 240 (Chad is based in Florida) In this conversation with Chad E. Cooper we explore: The distinction between serving and selling, especially when working with high performers like billionaires and Olympians. The connection between spiritual growth and material success. How to identify and close gaps in personal and professional development. The transition from force energy to generative energy in achieving lasting success. The role of purpose-driven actions in leadership and performance. Practical strategies for time management and avoiding burnout. Building empathy and compassion as key components of effective leadership. The importance of unattachment to external validation in maintaining self-worth. Why discomfort is essential for success and how to avoid unnecessary suffering. The power of focusing on spiritual intimacy to strengthen all aspects of life. ----- About our guest, Chad E. Cooper: Chad is a coach to high-performers of several industries, billionaires, professional athletes, Gold medal Olympians and amazing entrepreneurs. His experiences includes high-performances as an entrepreneur, athlete and in the military. He is the author of, "Time Isn't the Problem". To learn more about Chad, his coaching and his book, visit: https://www.chadecooper.com/ ----- Key Learning Points Difference Between Serving and Selling Approach interactions with a mindset to listen and fill gaps, rather than pushing an agenda. Force vs. Generative Energy High performers often rely on force energy but thrive better when transitioning to generative energy. Spiritual Intimacy and Its Role in Fulfillment True joy and peace come from internal spiritual connection, not external achievements. The Importance of Purpose Purpose-driven actions provide clarity, motivation, and resilience during challenges. Compartmentalizing and Setting Boundaries Emotional health and effective leadership require compartmentalizing stress and focusing on controllable factors. Navigating Challenges Through Resilience Discomfort is part of success, but suffering is optional and often tied to our narratives. Unattachment to External Validation Success comes from focusing on personal purpose, not the praise or criticism of others. Empathy and Compassion in Leadership High performers thrive when they integrate empathy and understanding into their decision-making processes. ----- ----more---- Your host is George Torok George is a specialist in communication skills.

We've found that most marriages are chasing intimacy but looking in all the wrong places. We sure did, and it never created a relationship that met the deep needs of our souls. What we eventually discovered was that spiritual intimacy needed to be the foundation of our relationship, and that spiritual intimacy would lead to emotional intimacy. These two things, working together, then created a foundation for a new marriage, and one in which our sexual intimacy could grow and even flourish. Join us on this episode as we discuss the one thing we discovered that was key to becoming spiritually intimate. It's the most frequent question we receive from couples looking for a resurrection in their marriage. Phil and Priscilla P.S. - Do you need help in your marriage?

In time, Tina became "the fixer" in the household. The fights and yelling was too much for Tina and she also took on the role of being her younger sister's protector. She felt that she needed to calm everyone down most importantly for herself to feel safe.Feeling abandoned and neglected early on in her life, my guest's mother, was a highly sensitive child and she didn't get as much attention as she needed as a child. The family deemed her "the neurotic child." It seemed as though the only thing that Leilani's family seemed to valued was her beauty. Leilani became a swimsuit model as a young teen and was basically on her own. This took place between, 1953-54 and she experienced many advances from men as one would imagine and a reminder that this was way before the "Me Too" movement.Tina had to put up some of her own boundaries between she, her sister and her mom. The triggers of infighting in the family was not where Tina wanted to keep her heart.Later on in life, as Leilani was starting to suffer from dementia, Tina was able to spend three weeks with her mother, visiting her and helping take care of her. Tina says their common love that they so embraced when Tina was a baby, was so present during those visits. None of the terrible threatening or fearful tendencies showed their face and Tina is so grateful for that special time to rekindle their relationship as though nothing had ever gotten between them.Tina made reference to a poem by Dorothy Lae Nolte in our conversation. Please find it below. It's still stands strong today regarding principles we try and teach our children and the principles that we hope many children never have to experience. Children Learn What They LiveBy Dorothy Law NolteIf children live with criticism, they learn to condemn. If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.If children live with ridicule, they learn to be shy. If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence. If children live with tolerance, they learn to be patient.If children live with praise, they learn to appreciate. If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves. If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and others.If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.WEBSITE:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q-Srqq8RpH9U2e3vQAsyU5FPChjrnD24/viewIG:@DrTinaShamelessFB:facebook.com/TinaSSellersTWITTER:@TinaSSellersLINKEDIN:/drtinaschermesellers "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

A 2016 Pew Research Poll found that just 44% of respondents consider shared religious beliefs to be key to a successful marriage. Therefore, 66% of us aren't too worried about aligning spiritually with our partner. But, is it wise to minimize this? Actually, according to multiple studies, couples who pray together DO stay together. In fact, marital satisfaction is highly correlated with religious affiliation and committed practice. Join us for our responses to this data—and other research findings which highlights the importance of aligning spiritually with your partner.

Illuminate Podcast: Shining Light on the Darkness of Pornography
In this episode we are wrapping up our 4-part series and focusing on spiritual intimacy. Join us as we not only discuss deepening spiritual intimacy when both individuals are on the same page, but as we explore the challenges that arise when couples have different beliefs, or when one person's beliefs shift. These changes can feel threatening to the relationship, but we will dive into the importance of curiosity, communication, and respect in balancing the dynamics of spiritual intimacy.

Connecting with our Heavenly Father often creates a strong spiritual intimacy and connection. It helps strength our faith and prepares us for some of the unexpected challenges that might come our way. Spiritual intimacy allows us to open up and share that deeper side of ourselves by being 100% authentic when we are communicating with God. We don't have to worry about our secrets being revealed to others, it allows us to hear the Holy Spirit when we are given that revelation we need. Also, it shows we are intentional and serious about our walk with God and we want to see that big transformation in our lives. How do we change and improve? By investing in ourselves. This is one way of doing it!
Have you ever felt the profound peace of being known and loved, imperfections and all? Join us, as we continue into the new year with hearts wide open, embracing the sublime truths nestled within Psalm 139. Our conversation traverses through the valleys and peaks of being fully understood by God, echoed in the children's book called "The Run Away Bunny," and the life-changing realization that our deepest fears of unworthiness are quelled by divine acceptance.With a fresh start upon us, we gather around the spiritual campfire to share a unique praise fest grounded in Psalm 139's opening verses. This practice guides us towards a more intimate relationship with the Lord, who knows our thoughts before they even take shape. Our personal anecdotes and metaphors serve to illustrate the transformative impact of recognizing God's omnipresence, infusing our everyday walk with a sense of security and purpose.The episode then leads us down a path of self-discovery and gratitude, even amidst the thorns of suffering. You'll hear about Christina's wrestling match with chronic Lyme disease, a testament to the intricate tapestry of life's pain and beauty. We then venture into the New Testament, seeking solace and strength, and learn how our trials can carve a deeper space for intimacy with the Lord. This heartfelt exchange is an invitation to join us in celebrating our design, confronting our struggles, and pursuing an unobstructed relationship with our ever-present God.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Spiritual intimacy can be a really difficult thing to think about within marriage. Often times we are satisfied as couples just to know that we "believe the same general things". But do not be fooled! Spiritual "sameness" is not the same as spiritual intimacy. The former is easy - the latter takes discipline, intentionality, and your own deep devotion to God. But spiritual intimacy is only two steps away in your marriage! Let's get into that! Marriage By Design is a channel dedicated to digging into God's design for marriage and family - as well as talking practically live that out in our marriages and families. Our goal is to leave you encouraged that you CAN do marriage and family by God's design and to give you HOPE that God IS FOR YOUR MARRIAGE AND YOUR FAMILY!!! Want to respond?
