For nearly two decades, Zephan and Sarah's marriage was in "survival mode". On the surface, everything seemed "fine," but underneath, a painful disconnect was growing—one partner felt "particularly lonely," while the other "had no idea". A pivotal moment during a podcast recording led to an emotional "dam break," forcing them to confront years of unspoken pain. In this episode, Zephan and Sarah share their powerful journey of moving beyond a "people pleaser" dynamic and ineffective relationship "rules". They discuss navigating the chaotic first six months—a period they call "Pandora's Box"—to build a foundation of true emotional safety and transform their communication, learning how to become a true "witness for your life".Chapters:00:00:00 - Welcome to the Connection Codes Podcast00:03:16 - Meet Zephan & Sarah00:04:12 - Why Connection Codes Was Different: How it became a "way of life," not just a quick fix.00:05:13 - The First 10 Years: Reflecting on the intensity and "survival mode" of early marriage.00:06:11 - The Turning Point: A failed podcast recording reveals one partner's hidden pain.00:08:43 - Defining Connection: The pain caused by differing views on what connection looks like.00:09:36 - The People-Pleaser Dynamic: How managing a partner's emotions prevents intimacy.00:10:30 - The Problem with "Rules": Why rule-based methodologies for relationships often fail.00:11:08 - The Core Principle of Safety: The commitment to "be safe for one another."00:13:37 - The "Dam Break" of Loneliness: Finding the language to define loneliness within the marriage.00:15:12 - Learning to "Ooh" a Partner's Pain: Validating a partner without taking on their pain as shame.00:15:53 - Seeing "Micro-Resisting": Noticing the pattern of people resisting each other's emotions.00:16:56 - The Journey of Oohing Yourself: Not resisting your own emotions as a path to self-discovery.00:22:39 - Finding Your Voice: How a safe group environment helps in sharing difficult emotions.00:23:58 - A New Way to Argue: Moving from "I'm not enough" to "I'm feeling lonely."00:29:41 - The "Pandora's Box" Phase: The scary and difficult first six months of doing the work.00:31:05 - How to Navigate Early Stages: Advice on staying curious to find connection at the bottom of the pain.00:36:40 - The Vital Role of Community: How supportive friends were essential to their journey.00:38:43 - A Partner as a "Witness": The profound purpose of a committed partnership.00:41:31 - Core Emotion Wheel Practice: The couple shares their current emotions using the wheel exercise.00:45:55 - Connecting with the Guests: How to find Zephan and Sarah for coaching.Links and Resources:Download the Core Emotion Wheel: https://youtube.com/@connectioncodes?si=phORYBsGMOOrj9mAFind out how to become a Certified Coach: https://connectioncodes.co/certified-coachingFind a coach: https://connectioncodes.co/coaches#find-a-coach-menuHaven Coaching Website: https://www.havencoaching.net/homeHaven Coaching on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehavencoaching/
This episode originally aired on April 15, 2025. In times of uncertainty, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by what's out of your control. That's why over the next few weeks we're revisiting three powerful conversations that remind us where to focus: on operational excellence, on what is within your control, and on the urgency to act now. Whether you're navigating workforce challenges, financial pressures, or strategic pivots, these episodes offer practical insights to help you retrench, refocus, and lead with clarity. Let's face it: Hospitals and post-acute providers can find themselves at odds. Post-acute is an area of the industry that is often misunderstood and sometimes villainized. But when post-acute care struggles, it directly impacts hospital operations. The industry needs a solution. It starts with understanding that the post-acute space is not a monolith. Because only by understanding how different facilities struggle—and how systems can support or partner with them—can we unlock their potential. That's why this week, host Abby Burns invites Advisory Board expert Monica Westhead, and Optum Advisory post-acute care expert Jennifer Skaggs to unpack the post-acute landscape and break down what effective acute-post-acute partnerships looks like. Throughout the discussion, they explore why post-acute facilities are struggling to stay afloat, and why partnering with post-acute facilities is better avenue than building or buying. We're here to help: Optum Advisory partners with hospitals nationwide to improve efficiency and optimize resource utilization to reduce labor expenses. The Playbook for Hospital/Post-Acute Care Collaboration New staffing mandates for SNFs will have broad effects. Here's how to prepare.

Disempowered to Empowered: Meltdowns, Boundaries & Donuts In this heartfelt episode, Patricia (she/her) shares three powerful personal stories that highlight the challenges—and wins—that come with being a sensitive, creative, neurodivergent human. From navigating family dynamics around living arrangements, to reclaiming power after a disempowering volunteer experience, and even exploring the emotional depth behind a simple craving for an apple fritter, Patricia offers an intimate and validating glimpse into what it's like to be an AuDHDer who feels things deeply—and still chooses to show up. KEY TAKEAWAYS · You don't need to justify your needs. “They don't have to understand why I need two months. I just do.” · High masking + high empathy often = emotional invisibility. You're not alone if you feel overlooked or undervalued. · Internalizers often seem fine while falling apart inside—naming your pain out loud is a radical act of self-love. · Disempowerment doesn't mean you're weak. It often comes from past trauma, sensory overload, or lack of support. · Communication isn't always immediate. It's okay if clarity or assertiveness comes a day (or three) later. · There's no such thing as “too sensitive”—just systems that weren't built for your needs. HIGHLIGHTS · Patricia emphasizes the importance of asserting one's needs without feeling apologetic. · She shares her experience of feeling disempowered in family dynamics and how she navigated that. · The conversation highlights the challenges of communication in relationships, especially for neurodivergent individuals. · Patricia discusses the significance of volunteering and how it contributes to her sense of empowerment. · She reflects on the internal struggles (and unrealistic desire) of wanting others to understand her needs without explicit communication. · The importance of processing emotions and taking time to understand one's feelings is emphasized. · Patricia shares her journey of finding strength in her volunteering experience with horses. · She discusses the impact of trauma on her ability to communicate effectively. · The conversation touches on the theme of sensitivity being a unique aspect of one's identity, not something to apologize for. · Patricia encourages listeners to embrace their sensitivity and understand its value. SOUND BITES "I need to have a meltdown." "It's my responsibility." "I felt seen and I felt heard." "I think we've learned to just detach from our feelings, to dissociate, and go along to get along—but it just doesn't work for us anymore." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are. TOPICS COVERED · Autistic meltdowns & internal regulation: How Patricia recognized an impending meltdown and advocated for space and support. · Family boundaries & accommodation: The emotional toll of giving up a beloved workspace, and the grief that often goes unseen. · Losing & reclaiming joy: When creative hobbies fade and space feels scarce, how do you reconnect with yourself? · Assertiveness without apology: Speaking up about needs, even when it's hard, awkward, or overdue. · Feeling invisible in groups: Disempowerment during horse volunteer training and the journey to feeling confident and capable again. · Processing delays & trauma: Why it sometimes takes days to realize something didn't feel okay—and that's valid. · The donut story (yes, it matters): What a pastry can teach us about needs, unmet expectations, and healthy communication. · Relational repair & emotional safety: The delicate dance of vulnerability, misunderstanding, and being met with care. · The problem with people-pleasing: When masking and fawning keep you from honoring your own feelings. · What sensitivity really means: Reframing neurodivergent traits as strengths, not flaws. PODCAST HOST Patricia (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller. Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion. She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges. Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent. Topics covered include: self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you Patricia's website, podcast episodes and more: twww.unapologeticallysensitive.com LINKS To write a review in itunes: click on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-sensitive/id1440433481?mt=2 select “listen on Apple Podcasts” chose “open in itunes” choose “ratings and reviews” click to rate the number of starts click “write a review”Website--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook-- https://www.facebook.com/Unapologetically-Sensitive-2296688923985657/ Closed/Private Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram-- https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber Tik Tok--https://www.tiktok.com/@unapologeticallysensitiv Podcast UnapologeticallyAuDHD-- https://unapologeticallysensitive.com/unapologeticallyaudhd/ e-mail-- unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive Music-- Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com

Episode 2715: Kyle Benson highlights three subtle yet destructive betrayals, emotional cheating, conditional love, and emotional withdrawal, that often go unrecognized in committed relationships. By exploring how everyday disloyalties erode trust and intimacy, he offers couples practical steps to rebuild connection and commitment before deeper damage takes hold. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.gottman.com/blog/3-betrayals-ruin-relationships-arent-infidelity/ Quotes to ponder: "Anything that violates a committed relationship's contract of mutual trust, respect, and protection can be disastrous." "Couples that unconditionally love each other live by the motto, 'baby, when you hurt, the world stops and I listen.'" "Emotional withdrawal sets in when bids are ignored."

“You have heard that it was said, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.” How's that for a hard saying from Jesus? And it's just one of many from this passage in Matthew chapter five. Ron breaks it all down for us next, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.”

In this deeply personal and reflective episode of Concepts & Conversations, Coach Bryan rewinds to August 22, 2002—a day that forever changed his perspective on faith, relationships, and how God works in our lives. What began as the hopeful anticipation of a new school year quickly became one of the most defining emotional experiences of his young adulthood.With honesty and vulnerability, Bryan shares the story of a blonde-haired, blue-eyed young woman who had captured his attention months earlier. Fueled by late-night R&B anthems like Musiq Soulchild's “Don't Change” and “Halfcrazy”, and the anticipation of returning to campus, he carried a heart full of dreams and the courage to finally confess his feelings. Through AOL Instant Messenger—one of the era's most unforgettable tools of connection—he laid his heart bare, admitting his admiration and desire to move beyond friendship.Her response? A polite but crushing revelation: she was already in a relationship. What followed was an emotional collapse, tears in the quiet of a dorm room, and an urgent search for comfort in the pages of scripture. Landing on Hebrews 6:13–18, Bryan found renewed hope, convincing himself that what God had promised could still come to pass if he remained patient. For years he carried that belief, interpreting circumstances, moments, and even chance encounters as signs that his time would eventually come.But as the story unfolds—through her eventual move to Atlanta, through years of friendship, and through a final heartbreaking reality check in March 2006—Bryan reflects on the painful but liberating truth: God doesn't choose your spouse for you. He gives each of us free will. Relationships are about mutual choice, not divine assignment.This episode isn't just a nostalgic trip back to early 2000s campus life, complete with dorm mates, cafeteria meal plans, and AOL Messenger. It's a raw exploration of young love, misplaced faith, emotional resilience, and the lessons we only learn after years of hindsight.Listeners will walk away reminded that:What's meant for you will never require chasing.What isn't for you will never bring lasting peace.And while God blesses us with guidance and hope, He never forces someone else's heart to choose us.
We have exactly 120 days left in 2025! Which means you can still easily lose 25 pounds by the end of the year. While still… Traveling and going on vacation. Enjoying the holidays and Aunt Betty's famous green bean casserole. Navigating holiday cookie swaps without anxiety or bingeing on three of everything. But sometimes we block ourselves from what's possible, because we're so caught up in the fear of missing out, especially around the holidays. We've been trained (dare I say brainwashed) into believing we have to “give up” so much food and fun social events in order to lose weight. That system is old and outdated. But there must be internal movement, internal shifts, before you can start taking the external action. In short: Your CONVICTION must be greater than your fear. There will always be fear. Fear of missing out, Fear of failing, Fear of success and the potential negative repercussions of weight loss… But there will come a time when your conviction that something needs to change will outweigh all of it. And that's when real, lasting change can happen. But you have to decide to NOT give up on yourself. Ready to break free from emotional eating and toxic diet patterns keeping you stuck and overweight? I'll show you how to break free, so that you can lose weight and keep it off for life.

Emotional repression is often invisible to high performers, and it can be one of the biggest barriers to sustainable success. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we explore how trauma-shaped survival responses like fight, flight, freeze, and fawn can create patterns of overwork, perfectionism, and emotional disconnection. You'll learn how subconscious repression differs from conscious suppression, how shame and perfectionism drive overachievement, and why even big business milestones can feel hollow when your nervous system isn't safe enough to process emotions. Our guest, Margy Feldhuhn, shares her journey from multi–seven-figure business growth fueled by survival patterns to building capacity for joy, presence, and connection through Neurosomatic Intelligence (NSI) tools and regular emotional processing. We break down the health risks, relational costs, and business consequences of chronic repression and give you strategies to expand your emotional capacity so you can actually enjoy the success you've built.

Have you ever wished someone had handed you a roadmap of the biggest sales lessons before you started your career? In this episode of the Sales Maven Show, host Nikki Rausch does exactly that by sharing the seven game-changing lessons she wishes she'd known from day one. These aren't theories or fluffy concepts—they're hard-won truths that can save you from costly mistakes and wasted time, whether you're selling to corporate clients, managing B2B accounts, or running your own business. Nikki begins by dismantling the myth of loyalty in sales. She explains that while taking excellent care of clients is important, it doesn't guarantee repeat business. Markets shift, priorities change, and people move roles. The lesson? Diversify your revenue streams and always be prepared to bring in fresh buyers instead of relying on a few big accounts. Another critical sales lesson is the “What have you done for me lately?” principle. Past success won't carry you forward if you stop marketing, prospecting, or nurturing your pipeline. Nikki recalls painful experiences that taught her how quickly momentum can stall when you assume one big sale will sustain you. Consistency is the key to staying relevant and profitable. She also dives into the reality that compensation packages, budgets, and buying behaviors change frequently. By detaching ego from pricing and packaging, entrepreneurs can pivot faster and test what works in real time. This flexibility often determines whether a business thrives or struggles when conditions shift. Relationships, Nikki emphasizes, are the foundation of long-term success. Strong connections with clients and colleagues open doors that skills alone cannot. She shares how deep relationships continued to bring her opportunities across multiple companies and even into her entrepreneurial journey—proof that trust and rapport truly trump everything else. One of the toughest but most valuable sales lessons Nikki shares is that promises don't equal sales. Until there's a signed agreement or money in the bank, nothing counts. She encourages business owners to confidently ask for the close during calls instead of leaving deals hanging in limbo. Lesson six encourages sellers to run their accounts like their own business. By advocating for your work as if it were its own living, breathing entity, you protect its health and growth. And finally, Nikki highlights communication skills as the ultimate superpower. Investing in your ability to adapt, listen, and respond effectively will elevate every aspect of your sales process. These seven sales lessons are more than stories from Nikki's past—they're actionable strategies you can apply today. From strengthening client relationships to mastering the close, each takeaway is designed to help you build sustainable success. If you're ready to shortcut years of trial and error, tune in and discover the sales lessons that will keep your pipeline strong, your confidence high, and your business thriving.

Episode 2714: Dr. Allison Niebes-Davis shares how shifting from blame-filled “you statements” to empowering “I statements” can transform communication and reduce defensiveness in relationships. By owning our emotions and reframing difficult conversations, we create space for healthier dialogue, deeper connection, and greater understanding in both personal and professional settings. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://drallisonanswers.com/relationships/the-communication-strategy-that-can-change-your-relationships/ Quotes to ponder: "I statements provide an opportunity to talk about our emotional experience in a healthy way, reducing blame and finger pointing, warding off defensiveness and escalation." "I statements take ownership of the way we feel and acknowledge our experience as OUR experience, nothing more, nothing less." "Even if you just place the words 'I feel' in front of whatever you were originally going to say, that can diffuse the tension enough to make some headway." Learn more about your ad choices.

Having a strong sense of self is the key fundamental tool to creating strong relationships. Only when we have a sense of belonging to ourselves, a sense of our worth and value, of our inherent goodness even amidst our flaws and weaknesses, can we show up in the relationship circle as an equal partner.
