Send a textHave you ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “Why did I do that… again?”You care. You love them. You want it to work. And yet when things get intense, you shut down, go quiet, and disappear emotionally.In this episode of Love Shack Live, we unpack what avoidance really is (hint: it's not a character flaw) and why shutting down is often a nervous system protection strategy that once worked really well… but now costs you connection.You'll learn what's happening inside the avoidant partner, why the anxious partner panics when the conversation goes silent, and how this dynamic can trap both people in a loop of pressure, withdrawal, and resentment.Most importantly, we'll show you a different path: building emotional safety and emotional capacity in small, practical steps so you can come back to the table without spiraling or disappearing.Because shutting down isn't who you are. It's what you learned.And you can learn something new.In This Episode, We CoverWhy emotional withdrawal is one of the strongest predictors of relationship breakdownThe real reason avoidance happens (and why it can feel like danger in the body)What anxious partners often do in response, and why it accidentally makes things worseHow both partners end up in “shutdown” in different waysThe shift from courtroom energy (punishment + certainty) to classroom energy (curiosity + skill-building)What emotional safety actually is (and why it's not the same as comfort)A simple “start here” practice: rebuilding safety in 5-minute roundsA quick emotional temperature check (1–10) to know when you're resourced enough to talkHow to get support if you're stuck in the avoidant/anxious loopTimestamps: 03:08 Debunking the ‘They Don't Care' Story: Everyone Can Be Avoidant04:13 What Shutdown Feels Like in the Body (A Real-Life Example)07:42 Pressure Makes It Worse: The Partner's Panic & the Stories We Make Up08:40 Anxious vs. Avoidant: Opposite Coping Styles Collide09:48 The CPR Metaphor: Why Reassurance Can Feel Suffocating11:55 Shame, Self-Judgment, and the Spiral on Both Sides21:52 The Real Goal: Regulate First, Then Come Back to the Table25:54 ‘Understand Me First': How Conversations Turn Into Fights27:55 Be the First to Listen: How One Person Can De‑escalate the Fight28:56 Understanding Isn't Contagious: Compassion for Anxious vs. Avoidant Dynamics30:57 Stop Making Up Stories: Get the ‘Intel' From the Person, Not Your Head33:12 The Consensus Trap: Why Friends & Social Media Can't Explain Your Partner35:45 “They Don't Deserve It” vs. “You Do”: Regulate for Your Own Sake38:18 Courtroom vs. Classroom: Trade Punishment for Curiosity (and the Lightbulb Moment)41:32 Emotional Safety 101: It's Uncomfortable, Triggering, and Still Necessary42:28 The Safety ‘Cheat Sheet': Slow, Skillful Back‑and‑Forth (5 Minutes at a Time)50:09 Wrap-Up + Get Support: Key Takeaways, Next Episode, and Clarity Call52:05 Emotional Capacity ‘Temperature Check' + Closing Rituals
This week, we explore what happens when the truth finally becomes clear, and how healing must eventually move beyond constant processing in order to make room for life.This episode addresses:Why years of therapy can help, yet still leave something unresolvedHow narcissistic family systems assign roles to children, shaping siblings in different but interconnected waysThe difference between trauma-informed healing and trauma-centered livingHow siblings can heal together without letting shared trauma dominate their relationshipsWhat belongs in a marriage and what does not when one partner carries complex traumaWhy confronting narcissistic or emotionally limited parents is not required for healingHow quiet distance and discernment can be valid, protective choicesWhat breaking cycles actually looks like in parenting, repair, and presenceThis is an episode about clarity, choice, and the slow shift from surviving to living.Join our community: mayhemdaughters.com/community
After a short break, the hosts of Pastors' Wives Tell All reconnect to reflect on the new year, the weight of calling, and the miraculous ways God continues to show up. In this heartfelt episode, they pull back the curtain on the emotional highs and lows of running a nonprofit and trusting God with both the pressure and the provision.The conversation centers around Come Away Missions and the work God is doing in Rwanda—often in ways no one could have planned. Jessica shares a powerful testimony about a dream that unexpectedly led to a significant financial provision, reminding listeners that God's timing is rarely our own, but always intentional.As the hosts open up about the vulnerability of fundraising, the temptation to carry pressure that doesn't belong to them, and the role of prayer-filled community, this episode becomes a reminder that faith is often built dot by dot—only making sense in hindsight.Listeners are encouraged to stay steadfast, trust God's promises, and not miss the moments when He shows up in miraculous ways.Key TakeawaysGod often provides in unexpected and deeply personal waysThe pressure of calling doesn't belong to us—it belongs to the LordCommunity and prayer are essential when faith feels stretchedGod's timing connects dots we can't see in the momentMiracles aren't always loud—but they are always purposefulGet all the info about our next pastors' wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/bookTo shop our MERCH, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/shopWant to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

Send us a textOn the release of his latest thriller, The Viper: A Zig and Nola Novel, Brad Meltzer joins Joe for an in-depth conversation on writing, curiosity, service, and the often-hidden moments that shape a life. From bestselling thrillers to children's books, Meltzer reflects on how stories—both real and imagined—help us make sense of who we are, what we've lived through, and the paths we choose moving forward.Drawing on his own unlikely origin story, Meltzer shares how a single teacher's encouragement set him on the path to becoming a writer, why falling in love with the process matters more than chasing outcomes, and how curiosity has been the throughline of his career. They explore how paying attention—to people, details, and quiet acts of kindness—can open doors we didn't even know existed.The conversation also dives into Meltzer's deep connection to the military community, from his work with the USO to the research behind his Zig and Nola thriller series set at Dover Air Force Base. Together, Joe and Brad discuss service, sacrifice, grief, and why storytelling can help destigmatize mental health struggles—especially for those transitioning out of uniform.In this episode, Brad Meltzer and Joe also explore:How one teacher's belief can change the trajectory of a lifeWhy curiosity is a more powerful tool than talentFalling in love with the process—not the outcome—of creative workWhat writing thrillers has taught Meltzer about human natureWhy Dover Air Force Base became the heart of his Zig and Nola seriesHow small acts of kindness ripple outward in unexpected waysThe challenge of transitioning from a life of constant motion to stillnessWhy seeking help is a sign of strength, not weaknessHow reading builds empathy, critical thinking, and resilienceWhy transformation is the hardest, and most important, kind of changeWhether you're a writer, a leader, a veteran, or someone navigating a transition, this conversation is a reminder that paying attention, staying curious, and honoring the quiet work of becoming can lead to a life richer than any plan you could have written in advance.Watch the full episode on Youtube!

What is the real value of founders, leaders and high-performing men being in close contact with their emotions?And how can becoming aware of what's happening inside of us, and learning to lead ourselves through it, not weaken our leadership but actually strengthen it over time?Welcome back to this episode in the Founders Series,a 6-part journey exploring the challenges founders, business professionals, and high performing men face today,and supporting them in evolving from high functioning stress into embodied and integrated leadership. A form of leadership that allows you to stay clear and calm under pressure by aligning who you are with how you lead.In this conversation, Bjoern and I explore a common issue we see among many high performing men:Disconnection, disembodiment, and emotional numbness.For many, success has come at the cost of losing touch with their bodies and shutting down their emotional experience. Most of us were taught that strength means staying in control and not showing weakness or humanness.Over time, this didn't make us stronger. It hardened us. It built emotional armor that keeps us functioning, but prevents us from being deeply connected to ourselves or others.So we avoid asking for help. We avoid receiving support. And we look for ways to manage the emotional intensity that leadership naturally brings.The cost of emotional avoidance is high: It disconnects us from the signals of our own body and from meaningful intimacy.It burns us out.It leaves us feeling flat or numb, chasing hits of aliveness through work, achievement, substances, or validation. And in relationships, we often project what we haven't dealt with onto partners, teams, or the business itself, creating rupture and disconnection.In this conversation, find out:Why many founders and high performers quietly struggle when they don't yet know how to be with what they feel or work with it effectivelyThe real cost of emotional suppression in leadership and performanceHow to return to seeing emotions as intelligent signals meant to guide more effective leadershipHow emotional awareness shows up in leadership in real, practical waysThe five core emotions we see many men struggling withWhat emotional steadiness looks like when pressure risesHow a man can move from emotional numbness toward emotional leadership in a tangible wayHow to bring emotional experience into relationship, professionally and intimatelyThis conversation is for any man who values effectiveness as a leader and wants to step out of the paradigm he has beenconditioned into. It is for the man who wants to feel more alive, more connected, and more grounded in who he truly is.If you've been feeling numb, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your inner world, or if you simply sense that more is available for you, I trust that this episode will speak directly to you.—Connect with Alex Lehmann:

"Philosophy taught me not to avoid depths and darknesses, but to embrace melancholy. It was important to see how different people in history dealt with life's big questions." - Robert SummerfieldA deeply introspective conversation with Robert Summerfield, exploring his journey from a philosopher's son to a jazz student, songwriter, and documentary filmmaker. The episode reveals how his early exposure to philosophical thinking shaped his approach to music and storytelling, leading to a creative evolution that prioritizes serving others' stories over self-expression. Through his experiences in the music industry, writing for other artists, and eventually finding his calling in documentary filmmaking, Summerfield demonstrates how creative fulfillment can come from putting one's craft in service of amplifying other voices.Key TakeawaysEarly philosophical influences can shape creative expression in unexpected waysThe transition from self-expression to serving others' stories can lead to creative fulfillmentCreative evolution often involves embracing different formats and mediumsTechnical knowledge (like jazz theory) can enhance creative freedom rather than constrain itWriting for others can be a valuable phase in artistic developmentThe importance of maintaining both cerebral and intuitive approaches to creativityDocumentary filmmaking can be a powerful tool for amplifying underrepresented voicesSuccess can come from shifting focus from self-promotion to serving othersCreative growth often involves periods of feeling like a beginner againBalance between structure (journalism) and creative freedom (music) can enhance both Mindful Creative: How to understand and deal with the highs and lows of creative life, career and business Paperback and Kindle > https://amzn.to/4biTwFcFree audiobook (with Audible trial) > https://geni.us/free-audiobookSigned books https://novemberuniverse.co.ukLux Coffee Co. https://luxcoffee.co.uk/ (Use: PODCAST for 15% off)November Universe https://novemberuniverse.co.uk (Use: PODCAST for 10% off)

“Your identity and your life is lived through your body”In a time where many of us find ourselves disconnected from our bodies, Margo Steines relentlessly chased physical pain. As she recalls in her gripping memoir “Brutalities: A Love Story”, Margo pursued extreme experiences—drugs, sexual violence, and abusive relationships—as avenues to escape psychological discomfort and to feel alive.Throughout this episode, Margo shares her ever-evolving relationship with her body from working as a professional dominatrix, to an ironworker, and later as a writer and mother, the latter of which revolutionized her relationship with her body. It is a profound conversation on identity evolution, mental health, family dynamics, self-love, and what it means to be human beings living within physical bodies in this confusing modern world. Join us as we discuss:Margo's path to pursuing pain through sex work and BDSMThe power of aging and how it allows us to uncover profound truths about ourselvesNature vs. nurture and how inherent traits and environmental influences shape our identities in different waysThe lasting impact of childhood experiences in shaping adult behavior and coping mechanismsThe interconnectedness of body and identity and the transformative effect of motherhoodThe importance of ongoing self-reflection, growth, and embracing the fluidity of identityOUR GUEST: Margo Steines holds an MFA in nonfiction writing from the University of Arizona, where she is faculty in the Writing Program. Her work was named Notable in Best American Essays and has appeared in The Sun, Slate, Air Mail, Brevity, Off Assignment, The New York Times (Modern Love), the anthology Letter to a Stranger, and elsewhere. She is the author of the memoir-in-essays ‘Brutalities: A Love Story'. Margo is a born-and-raised New Yorker, a journeyman ironworker, and serves as mom to a small person.

When you quietly exit a relationship after a boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."

This week, the Friendship IRL podcast turns a year old. One whole year!I launched this podcast knowing this was an important topic, but the more work I do, the more I think it's such a fundamental thing we don't talk enough about. People have told me this podcast makes them feel seen, which makes me so happy. But here's the thing: I cannot do this alone. The only way we make an impact is by people listening, reflecting, and by then making small changes in their own lives. Then, we create a ripple effect, making the social fabric out there a little tighter.Today I'm talking about why I need you to care about friendship. For me, friendship is foundational, since I didn't have a strong support system growing up. Here, I go a little deeper into my story.If this is your first time listening to the podcast, or if you've been here for the very beginning: thank you. I'm really excited to dive in on year two.In this episode you'll hear about:A year with Friendship IRL: we've covered loneliness, different types of friendships, societal problems that friendship/connection impacts, lived experiences and moreMy story, growing up in an unpredictable household with substance abuse present – and why friendship isn't just “nice to have,” but foundational for so many How I relied on my friends, friends' parents, coaches, neighbors, and people around me to learn how to get out of this and not be in survival mode anymoreHow I got creative when I couldn't find that “all consuming” support system and built a broader support system for myself on instinct made up mostly of friendsReasons to care about friendship: for the people who are rock bottom, but also for the people who need support in more simple waysThe phrase “I'm fine, it's fine, everything's fine,” and the relief you can feel when you finally get the thing you needResources & LinksLike what you hear?

Hi, my name is Kiah and I am a recovering people pleaser. I'm introducing myself like I'm at a people pleasers anonymous meeting and honestly, if those groups don't exist maybe they should.As a people pleaser, I have had a tendency in my life to keep my thoughts and feelings to myself because I didn't want to rock the boat, upset people, or just generally be uncomfortable. I saw my thoughts and feelings as a me problem and I didn't want to burden anybody else with them. There are some problems with this which we'll get into in a second, but as a recovering people pleaser, one of my main goals I've been working on is being brave with my words.In this episode, we chat about:You aren't alone in your people pleasing waysThe more we internalize our feelings, the scarier they feel and the harder they are to manageKeeping your emotions and feelings bottled up doesn't serve you or othersThe power of journalingResources & Links:Join us for an Ireland Retreat!Book a Power Hour Coaching SessionLearn more about partnering with me as a speakerInquire about advertising on the Climbing with Coach Kiah podcastCheck out the Backroad Cowgirls site!Shop the Coach Kiah Store.
