Hey Family Brand! It's Melissa here, and today, I want to dive into a topic that feels especially timely as we head into the holidays: family traditions. Traditions can be beautiful and meaningful, but have you ever stopped to ask yourself if all of your traditions are still serving you and your family? That's what we're exploring in this episode—how to evaluate your traditions, let go of the ones that no longer work, and intentionally create new rituals that bring your family closer together. When we think of traditions, our minds often jump to the big ones—holiday celebrations, birthdays, or annual events. But family traditions are so much more than that. They're also the small, consistent rituals we build into our daily and weekly lives, like family dinners, bedtime routines, or even Sunday night check-ins. Research shows that the strongest families have the highest frequency of these rituals, not just around special occasions, but woven into everyday life. I share some examples from our family, like how we've reevaluated traditions over the years. For instance, we decided to stop making gingerbread houses with extended family after moving further away, even though it was hard for the kids at first. The key is to make space for what works best for your unique family, while still honoring the core purpose of traditions: building identity, belonging, and strength. If you're ready to shake things up, I suggest starting with a family discussion. Bring everyone together, explain your thoughts about why you'd like to adapt or change certain traditions, and invite their feedback. One resource I recommend for this process is the book The Intentional Family by William Dougherty, which offers practical advice on how to make these shifts thoughtfully and collaboratively. Lastly, I encourage you to double down on traditions that truly bring connection to your family. For us, family meetings and shared mealtimes have been game-changers. If you're curious about starting family meetings, I have a free resource to guide you through the process, complete with a mini-course to make it super simple. Check it out at familybrand.com/meetings. As you step into this holiday season and prepare for the new year, take some time to reflect: What traditions are worth keeping, and what new ones can you create to align with the family culture you want to build?

My journey in the Marriage and Family Studies world has been influenced by lots of amazing mentors, from John Gottman to William Doherty, to Brene Brown. Through their teachings, reading all their books, and my own experience and introspection, I came to understand the importance of fighting for your marriage. It's a powerful way to approach your relationships and explore where a consumer mindset may be undermining your marriage. Fighting for your marriage will allow you to show up fully with your partner, and it can transform the way you experience fulfillment in the most important relationship you will take on. In this episode, I share what getting support for your marriage looks like, how it works, and how being intentional of who you let into your inner circle is one of the most important decisions you will make.  Through getting the right kind of support, you can access your highest level of marital happiness and make choices that create the outcomes you've always hoped for.

In today's episode I spoke with Dr. William Doherty about the role of a therapist when clients bring us difficult situations, decisions, and ethical dilemmas they are facing in their lives.

He is a professor at the University of Minnesota, creator of Discernment Counseling, and author of several books on therapy and relationships including his new book, The Ethical Lives of Clients: Transcending Self-Interest in Psychotherapy.

In celebration of our second anniversary, we're re-releasing one of our favorite episodes from the past year.

In this episode, we proudly welcome our newest member to our podcast and today's host Dr. Erin Elmore. Erin is joined by Daniel Kim, LMFT, who has 12 years of experience working with clients who struggle with trauma, relational problems, and spiritual issues. Dan has also worked with members of the clergy who struggle with deep personal issues. Together, Erin and Dan, discuss integrating faith with therapy practice, viewing therapy as spiritual work, working with pastors in therapy, and advocating for therapists to do their own personal work to become better at helping their clients. When we are helping people in our sessions experience unconditional positive regard, compassion, and love as a therapist, and treat our clients with worth and dignity, we help our clients love themselves with self-compassion and acceptance.

My guests have come to the same place, Braver Angels, from VERY different directions. Dr. William (Bill) Doherty from Academia at the U of MN where he currently directs The Citizen Professional Center and cofounded the Braver Angels following the 2016 National Election, in an effort to allow members of both vitriolic parties (Democrat and Republican) come together in a safe environment to learn how to listen to one another. David S. Ball found the organization over 1 year later after 26 years as an Air Force flight nurse and dealing with the conflicts which naturally arise in those areas. Over the past 3 years, He has been the Massachusetts Coordinator of Braver Angels. Today they will bring together what they have learned in these past years and how it applies to the stressed relationships in healthcare.

We're talking about idealists who do remarkable things for their times. First off is Maurice Willows, who convinced the American Red Cross to provide relief to the Black community in Tulsa OK following the horrendous race riot of 1921 (it was the only relief organization to provide assistance); the Big Interview is with William Doherty,…

Long-time, retired, Marian University professor William Doherty talks about teaching, the significance of teaching humanities, whether any person who uses Facebook is a "fool," and whether The Kavanaugh nomination will be "historic." Answer:  depends on how long he serves, and future events. At the end, John reflects on the importance--the temporary importance--that people assign to an investment fad, to a current event, and to the risks of both investing and life.

Thursdays, 9 am Eastern, "The Tufts Get Going!" host Rosanna Tufts: "Discernment Counseling." When couples are on the brink, usually there is one spouse "leaning out" and ready to call it quits, while the other is "leaning in", still believing the marriage can work. What do you do, if one of you isn't really committed to the counseling process? Discernment Counseling is a way to determine whether your problems can be solved, and whether you both want to try. Dr. William Doherty both practices the technique, and teaches other therapists how to use it! He is a Professor in the department of Family Social Sciences at the University of Minnesota, and the Project Director of the "Couples on the Brink" project. Whether you're part of a distressed couple, or a counselor looking to better serve your clients, you won't want to miss this! www.discernmentcounseling.com    

The Beauty of Biblical Marriage Marriage is like a dance. Marriage takes unity – You must be doing the same dance. This starts before marriage – it starts before dating. You must make up your mind to guard your heart Proverbs 4:23 23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Your heart is easily swayed. You must decide to make your heart vulnerable only to someone that your head knows will work. You must make up your mind to only expose your heart to someone who would be equally yoked 2 Corinthians 6:14-17 14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[b]? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” 17 Therefore, “Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” Equally yoked – same direction, same core values, same guiding principles of life, same ideas of what life is about. For a believer that is someone who values Christ like you do. The myth “I can change him/her” – really? Who changed you? God Himself. Do you really think that you can do in the life of someone else what only God could do for you? If you’re already married and finding it hard to be united, we’ll talk about that more next week… Marriage takes commitment– You must stay together. Ruth 1:16 – Where you go I’ll go. Ruth’s husband died. She had no one else in her husband’s family to provide for her. But she committed to stay with Naomi for the rest of her life. Because of Ruth’s commitment to her mother-in-law, Boaz shows her kindness. (Ruth 2:11-12) It all started with Ruth’s commitment for the rest of her life to her mother-in-law. Boaz committed to marry her, buy the property left by his deceased father-in-law, brother-in-law, and Ruth’s first husband – he redeemed all their property and married her to keep it all in their family, tied to Ruth’s first husband’s name. William Doherty is a writer and marriage counselor. He describes two distinct kinds of commitment couples make. One is what he calls “commitment-as-long-as.” It means staying together, “not as long as we both shall live, but as long as things are working out for me.” The other kind is what Doherty calls “commitment-no-matter-what.” He describes it as “the long view of marriage in which you don’t balance the ledgers every month to see if you are getting an adequate return on your investment… You’re here to stay.” Commitment is real only when it perseveres. How can you commit your life to another person – for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health? What if they change? What if you change? How can you commit the rest of your life to someone when you don’t know what the future holds? The key topic of the book of Ruth is redemption. Redemption is buying back something or someone who was lost. Like buying back someone who had been sold into slavery. Like buying back land after it had been sold to provide money for a poor family. Boaz is a picture, a fore-shadowing of another, larger hero who would come. He would buy back his people who had become slaves to sin. Just as Boaz gave selflessly and generously to a poor widow, so too, Jesus Christ gave his life for the sake of the poor and downtrodden. Ephesians 1:13-14 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Christ Jesus bought us back from sin. He rescued and redeemed us. The only way that you can commit – really commit – the rest of your life to someone else… You must know the One who showed that kind of commitment to you.
