Today Vanessa Bennett returned to the show and we unpacked how parenthood reshapes identity and intimacy, from the weight of expectations on mothers and fathers to the quiet struggles new parents rarely name. I pressed into the difference between craving and true desire, why shared purpose matters, and the real challenges men face growing emotional intelligence. We also looked at dismantling dominator models, strengthening the relationship with self, and clearing up common myths about partnership. Bottom line, self-awareness and open communication are the backbone of healthy, connected relationships. Vanessa Bennett, LMFT, licensed depth therapist, and author of the new book, The Motherhood Myth: A Depth Therapist's Guide to Redefine Parenting, Reimagine Intimacy, and Reclaim the Self.

Throw back to season 1 ep 11. In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches break down modern dating, monogamy, and why you should never enter a “committed” relationship if you still crave constant novelty and validation from other people. They unpack the difference between hookup culture, serial dating, and actually dating to marry, and they call out the mindset of “I just need something different” for what it is. You'll hear a raw conversation on monogamy vs polyamory, loyalty, sexual boredom, how to have honest conversations about sex and desire, and why you should not sacrifice your boundaries just to keep a partner who wants multiple sexual partners. They also walk through what healthy first dates should really look like, how to vet someone's character, red flags like being late, lack of ambition, constant victimhood, and why you should be dating to see if someone belongs in your life at all, not just to sleep with them.From there, they get into the hard stuff: how to communicate when you're hurt, how to ask “Do you want to solve or do you want to argue?”, how to use “I” statements without turning them into hidden accusations, and how to stop weaponizing pain in your marriage. They respond to real listener emails on first dates, blended families, stay-at-home motherhood with an overworked night-shift husband, resentment, lack of gratitude, and the brutal reality of poor time management and no boundaries. If you're looking for straight, no-nonsense relationship advice on healthy communication, dating to marry, masculine and feminine roles, standards, boundaries, and building a real partnership instead of living in drama, this episode will hit hard and give you practical perspective you can use today.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Anna Rollins, author of "Famished," joins us for an honest conversation about the intersection of purity culture, eating, body image, and sexual intimacy in marriage in general and especially Christian marriage. We explore what happened in the Christian movement around weight and body image that went beyond general cultural dysfunction and became particularly harmful in church spaces, such as Anna's church creating an eating based programs as she talks about here in and in her book. Drawing on research from Sheila Wray Gregoire's survey of 20,000 women (one of our favorite past guests), Anna unpacks the connection between body shame and sexual intimacy, including the often-hidden correlation between body shame and painful sex that many women don't realize exists. She shares her personal journey of moving from controlling her body through over-exercising to actually caring for and stewarding it well, how she's parenting with intention, and how her relationship with her body has drawn her at first farther but ultimately closer, ultimately, back to God. This conversation is essential for anyone navigating body image in marriage or raising children in the intersection of faith and culture.

Marriage is God's gift for joy and sanctification — but three subtle poisons can kill it: Pennies, Perversion, and Pride.Pennies – Loving money breeds fear, comparison, and discontent. Antidote: Seek first God's kingdom (Matt 6:25–34).Perversion – Porn, withholding, or distortion twist God's good gift of sex. Antidote: Pursue regular, healing intimacy as worship (1 Cor 7:5).Pride – “I know better” fuels unforgiveness and division. Antidote: Look to the humble Servant-King and forgive as Christ forgave us (Matt 20:28, Eph 4:32).Spot the poison, repent fast, and watch God restore joy to your covenant. Short, scriptural, and straight to the heart — hit play with your spouse.RESOURCES:Master marital communication: https://speak.fiercemarriage.comTake the 31-Day Pursuit Challenge: https://31daypursuit.comPray for your spouse with intention: https://40prayers.comTo learn more about becoming a Christian, visit: https://thenewsisgood.comThis ministry is entirely listener-supported.

Have you ever been told that saying "no" makes you selfish? That good Christian women never rock the boat, always serve with a smile, and definitely do not have thoughts of their own?This episode is Part 2 of our Emotional Abuse 101 series, and today we're diving into the art of saying no.If the idea of saying no makes your stomach flip or sends you into a guilt spiral, this episode is your lifeline. I'll walk you through WHY it's so hard to say no and HOW to start saying it anyway with confidence and without apology.Key Takeaways:Saying no without guilt is an adult skill, not a rebellious sin. People-pleasing is often a trauma response. Your nervous system isn't broken. It's just been doing its job a little too well.You don't need permission to have boundaries. You're not waiting for anyone's approval. Boundaries ≠ controlling others. Boundaries = choosing how YOU respond when others misbehave.There's neuroscience behind this. Your brain can be rewired to feel safe even when saying no. Read the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereGet a FREE chapter of Is It ME?

The holidays promise joy and togetherness but for many couples, they also bring stress, busyness, and mismatched expectations. In this episode, we're helping you slow down, reconnect, and approach the season with intention. We talk honestly about why couples often drift spiritually and emotionally in December and offer simple, realistic ways to stay grounded in Christ and connected to each other. From aligning holiday expectations to creating meaningful traditions, you'll walk away with practical tools to cultivate peace, gratitude, and unity in your marriage. Whether this season feels exciting or overwhelming, this conversation will help you not just survive the holidays—but truly thrive together.   Episode Highlights: The holidays can magnify an already existing disconnect. When Christ isn't the center of the holidays and your marriage, both will suffer. True joy doesn't come from a full schedule. Quotes from Today's Episode: When we take our eyes off the true reason for Christmas—Christ—we get caught up in the world's chaos.  Don't abandon what nourishes your soul just because life gets hectic. The habits that sustain you all year are even more vital during the holidays. Keep your year-round rhythms strong—pray together, make time to communicate, and carve out quiet moments as a couple amid the December rush. Acts of generosity spark joy and deepen your connection. Intentionality is everything—if you aren't purposeful, the busyness will steal your time and memories.  Release the pressure to do it all—focus on what brings true joy to your family. Give yourself permission to let go of traditions that drain you, making room for new ones—or simply space to rest, bake cookies, and enjoy music by the tree.   Couple's Conversation Guide: 1. Which part of the holidays tends to be most stressful for each of us, and why? 2. Is there a simple spiritual practice we could commit to together this December?   3. Where do our expectations differ when it comes to gifts, gatherings, travel, or downtime? 4. What new tradition could we create this year that fits who we are as a couple right now?

In today's episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with Amanda Kroepfl, one of the top sex and relationship coaches working today. Amanda has coached several members of Jimmy's community, she has spoken at We Are The They events, and the feedback has always been incredible. So Jimmy brought her on the podcast to talk openly and honestly about sex, intimacy, attraction, communication, and everything couples struggle with but rarely discuss.Amanda breaks down why it's so difficult for couples to talk about sex, why belief systems from childhood and religion shape adulthood intimacy, and how unspoken expectations quietly damage relationships. She explains the “squirrels” that hijack the brain, the role of masculine and feminine energy, scheduling sex, aftercare, fantasies, porn, nervous-system regulation, repairing a sexless marriage, and how partners can create safety instead of pressure.Jimmy shares his own experiences—from leaving a strict religious upbringing, to hiring sex coaches, to navigating shame and redefining intimacy in a healthy way. The conversation is raw, honest, and designed to help couples finally understand what's really going on beneath the surface. This episode is for married couples, people dating, men in Jimmy's community, and anyone who wants more connection, better communication, and a happier sex life. Find Amanda:Instagram: @amandakroepflWebsite: amandakroepfl.com Jimmy's Instagram: https://instagram.com/mrjimmyrexJimmy's TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@mrjimmyrexJimmy's YouTube: https://youtube.com/@mrjimmyrex Subscribe for more real conversations around relationships, personal development, and becoming the best version of yourself.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz, sits down with fellow FNTP, Patti McCoy, Assistant Instructor at the Nutritional Therapy Association and long-time adult educator, to unpack one of the most paradigm-shifting books on mental health today: Lost Connections by Johann Hari. What if depression and anxiety are not primarily caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, but by a series of broken connections in our lives? Together, Patti and Jamie explore how this book, combined with their work in functional nutrition and the Foundations of Health, can completely reframe how we view mental health, burnout, and the endless "hustle and numb" culture so many of us are stuck in. Some Topics Touched on: Disconnection from meaningful work, other people, meaningful values, childhood trauma, status and respect, the natural world, etc., and how all of this shows up as very real symptoms in the body: depression, anxiety, chronic stress, poor sleep, blood sugar swings, and "feeling like a shell" of yourself Many people are told, "Your brain is broken, here's a pill," and are given an SSRI instead of being asked, "What happened to you—and when did this start?" How childhood trauma and ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) can shape the HPA axis, stress response, food relationships, and long-term health The impact of intergenerational trauma, and how science now shows that stress imprints can be passed down biologically through both mother and father The "dash lights" on your body's dashboard and why symptoms (including nausea, anxiety, insomnia, low mood) are messages, not design flaws to be suppressed How screens, constant notifications, and the pressure to respond to everyone all the time are quietly eroding our capacity for deep connection, quiet, and repair Coping mechanism: alcohol, sugar, shopping, scrolling, gaming, pornography, or Netflix - and how these become nurseries for more trauma and disconnection How the Foundations of Health: digestion, blood sugar regulation, a nutrient-dense diet, sleep, stress management, hydration, and movement - create the biological stability we need to heal Marriage and relationships in the age of screens – the difference between being in the same room and actually being together The loneliness of remote work and why some of us didn't realize how much we needed daily in-person interaction until it was gone The loss of third spaces and micro-communities after COVID Why "busy" has become a bizarre badge of honor, and how Distraction Detox and intentional boundaries around technology can restore sanity and presence Resources Mentioned: Book – "Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions" by Johann Hari Book – "Molecules of Emotion: The Science Behind Mind–Body Medicine" by Candace B.

While women only receive these benefits in very high-quality marriages! To rebalance invisible labor and create fairer systems for women, I share tools you can use with insights I've gained from top experts. I also discuss the possible benefits of an unmarried life path for some. Whether you're single or partnered, after listening to this episode you'll leave feeling informed and empowered to create nourishing, sustainable relationships that benefit you.

Do you feel like what you have to offer isn't enough? If you wish you had more to do more in your life, then this episode will encourage you to shift your perspective and focus on stewarding the small things well.

Disclaimer: We are not professionals. This podcast is opinioned based and from life experience. This is for entertainment purposes only. Opinions helped by our guests may not reflect our own. But we love a good conversation.In this raw 2 Be Better Podcast episode, Chris and Peaches read two powerful emails that hit everything from religious trauma and teen pregnancy to addiction, stillbirth, and slowly rebuilding a marriage after rock bottom. You will hear them unpack a deeply controlling church upbringing, running away at 17, getting pregnant, losing a baby, marrying young, and trying to heal while a husband battles drugs, grief, and a broken family system. They walk through mentorship for men, women stepping into real support instead of enabling, and what it actually looks like to build a functional marriage and family after chaos, including moving states, starting over, finding a healthier community, and creating a home where the kids are protected from generational patterns. From there they shift into a homestead marriage case study, breaking down a stay at home mom on 2.5 acres, a blue collar husband who works out of town, and the recurring fights that never seem to get resolved. They go deep on “you don't listen” versus “I don't understand,” love languages, why a wife can feel unseen even with great sex, how compliments and validation work for women, and how blue collar joking and passive aggressive digs about weight can quietly destroy intimacy. You will get practical, no nonsense communication advice, how to ask for what you need without disrespecting his leadership, how to stop bottling resentment, and how to align on parenting, money, work ethic, Roth IRAs, and long term plans for your kids so your marriage and homestead actually thrive. If you are a homestead wife, a blue collar husband, or a couple searching for real marriage advice, relationship coaching, and traditional values without the fluff, this episode will speak directly to you. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.

From the outside, the Walshes had it together. Three kids, a house in upscale Cohasset, a townhome in D.C., and Ana rising through commercial real estate. But the structure was fractured in ways that matter. Ana was months into an affair. Brian was under federal home confinement for art fraud, unable to travel, serving as primary caregiver while his wife built a separate life 400 miles away. She was the breadwinner. He was stuck. Four days before Ana died, someone on Brian's devices searched "what's the best state to divorce for a man." Two days later, their last text exchange ended with "love you" and "love you too." In this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who spent his career studying trust, betrayal, and human motivation—helps us understand what was actually happening inside that marriage. His framework isn't academic theory. It comes from decades of assessing relationships where the stakes were life and death. We explore the behavioral dynamics the jury won't see spelled out: What does it mean that Ana spoke positively about Brian while conducting an affair? How does a power imbalance like home confinement reshape someone's psychology? Can resentment build invisibly until it becomes something else entirely? And what did Ana's careful management of the affair—insisting Brian hear about it from her, worrying about his reaction—tell us about how she perceived the risk? The prosecution says Brian discovered the affair and killed her. The defense says he didn't even know. Somewhere in the behavioral evidence is the answer. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrime #FBI #RobinDreeke #RelationshipDynamics #DomesticViolence #BehavioralAnalysis #TrustAndBetrayal #Affair #MurderMotive #CrimePsychology #TrueCrimePodcast #IntimatePartnerViolence #Cohasset #MassachusettsCrime #FBIProfiler #TrueCrimeCommunity #CriminalPsychology Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
