Power Quote: “How do you want me to listen?”Description:Today's guest is someone I consider to be a master at the art of coaching, which is appropriate as she wrote the best-selling book titled The Art of Coaching. I Had Elena Aguilar on the show a little over a year ago and we split the interview into two parts, episodes 204 and 205 (link in the show notes) because it was so rich and packed with powerful thoughts and techniques. This interview with Elena is even more dense – so much so that we are splitting it into three parts. In today's section Elena and I dive into listening and there is so much packed into the span of fifteen minutes that I decided to release it as a full episode. If you listen closely, you'll recognize that the discussion is embedded within the intro section of celebrations and stories. We didn't even get to the main interview before Elena shared some wisdom that I wanted to put on its own, for your benefit.After this conversation, I've added Elena's thoughts on “the one thing leaders should take away.” It is consistent with today's main topic, but I will also include it in each of the next two part of our discussion because it is so powerful I think we all, myself included, need to listen to it once a week.Sponsor Spot 1: I'd like to thank Kaleidoscope Adventures for sponsoring today's show.

In this tender and truth-filled episode, Maria and Meghan pull back the curtain on one of the most damaging lies they've seen women carry: the belief that you're still single because you're not “doing it right” spiritually. Maybe you've heard it—or felt it too: if you just prayed harder, were holier, or checked the right boxes off, God would have answered your desire for marriage by now.Together, they name this lie for what it is: not from the heart of God.This conversation gently but boldly calls out the pressure many women feel to be perfect—before God, in dating, and in life. It's an invitation into something deeper and freer: imperfection, honesty, and radical surrender to the Lord as you are right now.Through stories, scripture, and deep personal reflection, Meghan and Maria walk with you through:The shame of “not doing it right” in your spiritual lifeThe difference between surrender and giving upThe grief of unmet desires—and what to do with itWhy honesty is often the doorway to deeper intimacy with GodPractical ways to notice where you feel unsafe with the FatherHow to crack the door of your heart—just a little—for grace to enterWhether you're in a season of disappointment, wrestling with your story, or simply needing a reminder that you're not alone—this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Women Offshore Podcast, we share the anonymous story of a mariner who navigated a series of deeply uncomfortable and inappropriate interactions while on hitch. This story does not involve physical violence, but it does involve emotional manipulation, blurred boundaries, and delayed responses from leadership. These are issues that many offshore professionals have faced but rarely talk about openly.The story is real. The names and identifying details have been changed to protect the person who came forward. The message is clear: workplace safety is not just about hard hats and checklists. It is also about culture, leadership, and how we respond when something goes wrong.What We CoverA firsthand account of escalating verbal misconduct over multiple hitchesThe emotional toll of being asked to remain quietHow unclear or delayed leadership responses can prolong harmThe importance of early reporting and documentationThe internal struggle of deciding whether to speak upThe episode also explores how difficult it can be to recognize when a line has been crossed, especially when harm comes in the form of repeated comments rather than a single, obvious incident. The individual in this story tried to handle things quietly, tried to avoid conflict, and tried to trust the system. But ultimately, it became clear that silence was not a solution.Why This MattersThis story is not rare. It reflects the kind of slow, repeated harm that often goes unaddressed, not because no one cares, but because no one knows who should act.Verbal and emotional misconduct can be harder to report, and even harder to respond to. People hesitate. Leaders assume someone else is handling it. And the result is silence when action is needed.Leadership is not just a title. It is a responsibility. Delays, vague responses, or inaction can leave people feeling unsafe and unsupported.This episode is a reminder that how we respond matters. The smallest action, listening, documenting, following up, can make all the difference.
Why do we keep having the same arguments even when we try to "meet each other's needs"?Why does it feel like my wife wants more from me than I have to give—and I'm the one being blamed?In Part 5 of this powerful series, we expose one of the most destructive myths in modern relationships: the “needs-fulfillment” mindset.

This episode walks you through how to become a contracted contributor in your marriage—someone who gives even when their own tank is low, and builds a foundation that creates long-term healing and trust.Learn:Why emotional coldness is often a two-way famine, not a one-way failureHow to stop relying on your spouse to "fix" your emotional depletionWhat to do when both of you are exhausted and feel like giving upThe secret to building emotional wealth in your marriage—one deposit at a timeIf you're tired of fighting over who's hurting more and are ready to build something that lasts, this episode is your blueprint.Want to read more about this topic? https://www.lifechangingservices.org/shouldnt-you-be-able-to-rely-on-people-what-if-others-are-not-meeting-your-needs/Rather Watch Something? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THUGXxLBwN4Check out Life Changing Services: https://www.lifechangingservices.org/
