A bad strategy can trick you into giving up on the right dream. The problem isn't what you want… it's how you're trying to get it.  Turns out, there's a totally different way of planning your life that's going to get you going to get you further faster. My guest Courtney De Ronde dropped a line in this conversation that stopped me cold: “We give up on our vision instead of shifting our strategy.”  You may not have the wrong dream. You may just be taking the wrong road to get there. In this episode, we're breaking down why smart, motivated people get stuck and how to build a life plan that actually moves you forward. You'll learn: Why trying harder may actually keep you stuck The difference between your vision and your strategy How to turn a big dream into something you can actually do this week Whether you're a visionary or a doer, and how each gets derailed How to know when it's time to change course instead of giving up Why the thing you keep calling a “discipline problem” might actually be a support problem Courtney's framework moves from a long-term vision to a realistic annual milestone and finally into the days, weeks, and quarters where progress actually happens.  Before you decide the dream isn't going to happen, make sure you're not just stuck on the wrong road. Take the free “What's Holding You Back?” quiz to figure out where you're getting stuck. And if you're ready for support creating a different path forward, schedule a free consultation with a coach at Growing Self.

We think about wellness decisions as what we eat, how much we exercise, whether we're getting enough sleep, and how well we're managing stress. But what about the other things we bring into our homes—the products, materials, and everyday items we may never think to consider through a wellness lens? In this episode, we're looking at what surrounds us repeatedly and why some of those ordinary choices may deserve a closer look.

Julia and Drew are back in the studio to discuss Part II of Next Gen NYC Season 2 reunion. The girls sip on some tiny tinis and dish about Ariana's Christian meltdown, the kids making it to the New York Times, Miley Cyrus' flop era, Taylor Swift's fundamental disrespect for her life and her public, and "secure your wig sis Tinashe is coming."

Whose life is this? You built it. You chose it. So why doesn't it feel like yours anymore? Maybe you checked all the boxes. Built the career. Created the relationship. Became the responsible one, the successful one, the person everyone can count on. And then one day you looked around and thought, Wait... is this actually what I want? That's the uncomfortable realization at the heart of this episode. My guest, Growing Self therapist and board-certified coach Tania Chikhani, knows it personally. Before 30, she was managing a half-billion-dollar brand and headed toward an executive career. On paper, she was wildly successful. Inside, as she puts it, her “joie de vivre” was gone. Because sometimes the life you built was designed for an earlier version of you. Or around what your family wanted. What your partner wanted. What you thought you were supposed to want. And eventually, you have to ask: Who am I now? In this episode, Tania and I are talking about how to find yourself again when you genuinely don't know what you want next. You'll learn: Why the life you wanted can suddenly stop feeling like yours How to figure out what you actually like and want Why you can't always think your way back to yourself How to reconnect with yourself through experimentation and experience Why your blind spots can keep pulling you back into the same patterns A powerful “Perfect Day” exercise to help you see what you really want next If you've been looking around at your own life thinking, How did I get here?, this conversation is for you. And if you're ready to figure out who you are now and what comes next, schedule a free consultation with Tania at growingself.com/tania.

EP:210 Hey Thrive Community!

The world is already judging your appearance…but the real danger is when you start judging your worth by it, too. FYI: This is NOT in your head. The way you look really does affect how people treat you (unfortunately).Research shows that appearance can influence who gets hired, who gets helped, who gets the benefit of the doubt, and even the assumptions people make about you in a split second.But that doesn't mean that you need to buy into the lies our culture is trying to hand you. In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with psychologist and The Problem With Pretty author Dr. Allycin Powell-Hicks to unpack the uncomfortable psychology of beauty, appearance, and self-worth, and, more importantly, how to stop letting the mirror determine how you feel about yourself. You'll learn: How your appearance can quietly influence so many shocking aspects of your life The consequences of being seen as “unattractive” (and how to overcome them) How beauty standards get tangled up with your confidence and identity Why tying too much of your self-esteem to your appearance is a dangerous investment How to build a stronger sense of self that isn't dependent on how you look Your appearance may influence how the world sees you. It does not have to define your worth. If you're ready to build deeper confidence, strengthen your sense of self, and feel more secure in who you are, schedule a free consultation with a Growing Self therapist or coach at growingself.com.

Have you ever had a beautiful idea for your family, felt genuinely excited about it, and then watched it quietly fade once real life got involved?Maybe you wanted to read aloud more often, pray together more consistently, memorize Scripture, build a better family rhythm, or create a simple habit that would help everyone connect. The desire was real. The intention was good. But then everyone needed more help than expected, the plan took more energy than you realized, or you missed it once… then twice… and before long, that good idea was sitting on the shelf with several others you meant to keep going.In this episode, I'm talking about the difference between inspiration and consistency.Inspiration is a gift. It helps us notice what we care about and what we want to build into our family life. But inspiration is still a feeling, and feelings move around. Consistency has to keep going after the exciting part wears off.This episode is not about forcing every good idea you have ever had into your family life forever. Some ideas really do need to be released. But when an idea keeps coming back to your heart, there may be a gentler way to help it survive an ordinary Tuesday.If you have been judging yourself because you are full of ideas but struggle to keep them going, this episode will help you stop treating that as a character verdict and begin again in a way that actually fits your real life.XOXO,Katie

Noah war mit seinen Jungs in Kopenhagen und ist dort dank eines lieben Locals in einem der angesagtesten Clubs der Stadt gelandet. Ausserdem gibt's wieder mal die GaultMillau-News und wir stellen uns die Frage, ob wir mittlerweile alt genug zum Pilzlen sind.Viel Spass, XOXO!

You've prepared for your baby—but have you thought about the home you're bringing your baby into? Whether your due date is getting close or your newborn is already home, there may be everyday things around you that you simply haven't thought to notice. In this episode of Start Living Sustainable, we're stepping beyond the nursery and looking at your home—and you, Mama—a little differently.

What if the resentment you feel toward your partner isn't actually about what they're doing wrong…but about what you keep doing? You do the dishes. You make the bed. You remember everything. You fix problems before anyone asks. And then you quietly think: Why do I have to do everything around here? Here's the twist: You may be blaming your partner for resentment that's actually coming from how much you've taken on. That's the realization that changed Alyssa Zander's relationship. After four years of believing her partner needed to change, they broke up, and an unexpected encounter forced her to ask a much harder question: What was my part in this? Today, that same man is her fiancé. In this conversation, Alyssa and I unpack how over-functioning, unspoken expectations, and trying to manage your partner can quietly create the exact relationship dynamic you're so angry about. You'll learn: Why resentment may be a sign you've been doing too much How over-functioning can accidentally reinforce the dynamic you hate Why trying to fix your partner's moods can push you further apart What to do when you're thinking, “Why do I have to do everything?” How to ask for what you need instead of expecting your partner to read your mind Your resentment might not be asking you to try harder. It might be asking you to put something down. Xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Growing Self  P.S.

EP:209 Hey Thrive Community!

You can navigate a difficult conversation with your boss, calm down a frustrated friend, and explain exactly how you feel…so why does one sentence from your partner turn you into someone who suddenly can't communicate at all? Here's the bombshell: You might not actually have a communication problem. Because the words aren't the real problem. In this episode, I'm joined by Brandy Buckner, M.S., LMFTA, marriage and family therapist at Growing Self, to expose what's actually happening underneath those impossible conversations: the communication styles you inherited, the attachment reflexes that take over when you feel threatened, and the private story running through your head before you shut down or lash out. You'll learn: Why great communicators completely lose each other at home What's really happening when one person pursues and the other shuts down The hidden feeling underneath anger that changes the entire conversation How to take a timeout without making your partner feel abandoned What to tell yourself when every instinct says, Get me out of here Why waiting for your partner to change keeps you both trapped Because sometimes the breakthrough isn't learning what to say. It's finally understanding what's happening inside both of you before anyone says a word. And if you're tired of having the same fight on repeat, schedule a free consultation with Brandy. She can help you change the pattern. She works with couples at Growing Self to uncover what's happening beneath the conflict and build a relationship where you can actually hear, understand, and reach each other.

If love makes you suspicious, compliments make you uncomfortable, and happiness makes you wait for something bad to happen…this episode might explain your entire life. Because what if your insecurity isn't a personality flaw? What if your brain learned, somewhere along the way, that feeling good about yourself is dangerous? Psychologist and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Marisa Franco is back with fascinating new science about why insecurity can survive years of therapy, affirmations, self-help, and “working on yourself” (and what can finally begin to change it). Here's the mind-bending part: Your memories don't just record your past. They predict your future. And when your brain expects rejection, humiliation, or abandonment, even love and success can feel threatening. But those old memories aren't necessarily fixed. Dr. Franco explains how the science of memory reconsolidation may help change the way the past continues to live inside you. You'll learn: Why compliments, love, and success can actually make you feel worse Why you can feel deeply insecure even when you can't explain why How old memories can quietly shape what you expect from yourself and others How memory reconsolidation can begin changing the emotional impact of the past Why affirmations sometimes backfire when you have low self-worth How to recognize when deeper support may be the right next step If you've spent years trying to “love yourself” and wondering why nothing seems to stick, you need to hear this. You may not need another pep talk. You may finally need to understand what your brain has been trying to protect you from. Xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Growing Self P.S.

Send us Fan MailHey y'all heeeeeey!! We were passing out history lessons and hysterical laughs.  Hope you all enjoy. As always, be safe and love hard. XOXO 2 Bad B*tches.  

We can all spot controlling people seeking influence over us. But what about our blind spots?  What happens when other people are feeling controlled by us and we don't even realize what we're doing? Turns out what many of us call “helping” can feel controlling to our partners. This is not anything to feel bad about or ashamed of. It's just reality. Control issues rarely feel controlling when we're doing it. They feel like being right. Keeping things on track. Getting your partner to understand. Making sure nothing goes wrong. In this episode, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby sits down with Seth Bender, M.A., LMFT, licensed marriage and family therapist and relationship coach at Growing Self, to expose what control issues actually look like — including the ones you may not recognize in yourself. You'll learn: Why control itself isn't the problem The hidden reason you need things to go your way How to recognize your personal “rattlesnake rattles” before you react When reassurance quietly becomes control Why trying to control your partner backfires How to stop managing them and start managing yourself Because sometimes the hardest relationship truth is this: You may not experience yourself the way your partner experiences you. And being willing to see that could change everything. If this hits close to home, Seth can help. He works with individuals and couples to understand these deeper patterns, rebuild emotional safety, and create real change without blame or shame.

One year ago today, Charlie Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University. He was thirty-one years old. Before his death, when asked what he wanted to be remembered for, his answer was immediate and unambiguous: I want to be remembered for courage for my faith. In this deeply personal episode, Tanya Engesether reflects on that answer — and on what it has stirred in her own wrestling with the legacy question. Not from a safe distance, but from the middle of her own discernment about leadership, about timing, about what it means to leave well, and about what the best legacy actually looks like. She names the ways she has been getting the legacy question wrong — holding on until everything is fixed, waiting for the approval of people who may never give it, allowing one hard season to loom too large over the whole story of a leadership tenure. And she offers the biblical reframe that has begun to change her relationship with the question: legacy is not the reputation you leave. It is the seeds you plant. And the harvest belongs to God. She talks about the roles that are most permanently hers — wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, friend — and the honest reckoning of what those relationships have sometimes received and what they have sometimes not. She addresses the courage for faith that Charlie Kirk's answer named — and that her own context has sometimes muted in favor of the safer, more professionally digestible version of herself. And she closes with the invitation that is at the heart of everything: what do you want to be remembered for? And are you living toward it? This episode is honest, vulnerable, and genuinely personal. It is for every woman who is carrying the weight of a legacy she is not sure is good enough — and who needs to hear that faithful is more than enough.   I hope this episode blesses you!

Have you ever been helping one child with a lesson, only to realize that another child truly needs you more in that same moment?Maybe it is a baby, a toddler, a child with autism or ADHD, a medical need, a meltdown, or a moment when one child's body or emotions simply require your full attention. And while you are meeting that urgent need, another child is waiting at the table, trying not to feel forgotten.In this episode, I'm talking about that hard pull so many mothers know—the feeling that you cannot split yourself into enough pieces to meet every need at once.This has not been a short season in our home. One of my children has serious needs, and those needs have shaped our family life for years. We have had stopped lessons, interrupted meals, changed plans, and ordinary family moments set aside because something more urgent had to be handled right then.But I have also watched the Lord grow compassion, patience, and practical love in our family through those very hard places.This episode is not about creating a perfect system or making sure every child receives the exact same number of minutes. Equal time is not always possible, and equal time is not the same thing as love.If you are homeschooling while caring for younger children, children with high needs, or several children who need you in different ways at the same time, this episode will help you think gently about how to keep each child feeling seen, loved, and included in the real life God has given your family.Mentioned in this episode:Road Trip Mysteries — USA Edition — a screen-free adventure book with stories, puzzles, coloring pages, history, geography, and science.Road Trip Mysteries — Yellowstone Edition — a Yellowstone mystery adventure with clues, wildlife learning, and hands-on puzzle fun.Movie Schooling — a simple guide for turning wholesome movies into meaningful homeschool conversation and learning without creating another lesson from scratch.XOXO,Katie

You said yes. You smiled. You went along with it. And afterward, you thought: Why didn't I say something? If you struggle to stand up for yourself, Dr. Sunita Sah has a surprising message for you: You do not need to become louder, tougher, or more confrontational. Defiance is a skill.

EP:207 Hey Thrive Community!

Your workplace feels wrong. But do you actually know what you're dealing with? If you've been calling your job a hostile work environment, stop…because that phrase carries more weight than you might realize. It's a term with a specific meaning, and the words you use can change what happens next. Because “hostile” and “toxic” do not mean the same thing. One is a description. The other can raise a legal red flag. I didn't know the distinction either until my guest, clinical psychologist and organizational consultant Dr. Jennifer Wisdom, stopped me mid-conversation and explained it. And that wasn't the only moment that made me sit up straighter. HR is not actually there to protect you. If your workplace is making you miserable, you may feel like you have two choices: put up with it or quit. But there is an enormous middle ground between those two options, and you may have far more power than you realize. Listen to learn: The critical difference between a toxic and hostile work environment The 3 questions to ask when something at work feels seriously wrong What you need to understand about HR before asking for help How to recognize when workplace behavior may be crossing a legal line What you can do when quitting isn't an option How to create change, even when you're not in charge This isn't just a conversation about surviving a bad workplace. It's about what you can actually do about it. By the end, you'll have concrete moves you can start making Monday morning. No new title, no permission, and no resignation letter required.

In Season 2 Episode 49 of our Montessori Babies Podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Rebecca Atanassova and Alissa Hansen of George the Mouse in a Log Pile House! We talk all about embracing boredom, getting outside, and how nature supports your child's imagination and development.We touched on ideas like:Why boredom is important for young childrenBenefits of nature for babies and toddlersHow parents can encourage a love of nature and explorationSimple ways to make outside time part of family rhythmand more!Resources:Website: https://www.georgethemousebooks.com/Insta: @georgethemouseofficialFacebook: George the MouseAmazon: George the MouseMontessori Babies Resources:

Have you ever looked at your day and thought, “I know all of this matters… but it cannot all happen at once”? Maybe the house needs attention. School still needs to happen. Someone needs help. Dinner is coming. Messages are waiting. A responsibility you care about keeps getting pushed aside, and whichever choice you make seems to leave something else undone. In this episode, I'm talking about the tension of trying to hold too many important things at once—and the guilt that can come when you know you will not get to all of them. We'll talk about how to think more honestly about what belongs in your hands right now, what may need to wait, and why letting something go for now is not the same as saying it does not matter. I'm not suggesting we avoid hard responsibilities or lower the bar whenever life feels full. It is about discerning what is truly yours to carry in this season, on this day, and in this moment. If you have been feeling torn between too many good and necessary things, this episode will help you think more clearly about what to keep, what to release, and how to move forward with a little more peace. XOXO, Katie

Creating a healthier home is about more than making a few healthier swaps. Whether you're just beginning or you've already made changes, knowing what to prioritize next can help your efforts work together instead of leaving you wondering what you're missing. In this episode, discover why patience, the right sequence, and personalized support can help you keep moving toward the healthier home and lifestyle you want—without wasting time, money, or energy.

Düşünüyorum, Öyleyse ŞişmanımAklımızdan geçen her düşünce gerçek midir? Peki ya bir düşünceyi o kadar sık tekrar edersek, bir süre sonra onu sorgulamayı bırakıp gerçek kabul etmeye başlar mıyız?“Çok yedim, kesin kilo aldım.”
“Bedenim değişirse kimse beni beğenmez.”
“Bugün kendimi şişman hissediyorum, demek ki şişmanım.”
“Ya hep kontrol bende olmalı ya da tamamen kontrolden çıkmışımdır.”Bu bölümde zihnimizin bize oynadığı oyunları, yani bilişsel çarpıtmaları (cognitive distortions) ve bunların yeme bozukluğu düşüncelerini nasıl besleyebildiğini konuşuyoruz.Siyah-beyaz düşünmekten felaketleştirmeye, zihin okumaktan duyguları gerçek sanmaya kadar sık karşılaştığımız düşünce tuzaklarını örneklerle inceliyor; düşüncelerimizle gerçekler arasına biraz mesafe koymayı öğreniyoruz.Xoxo, İrem

You love them. So why can't you shake the feeling that something might be wrong? Nothing is bad enough to leave. There's no glaring red flag. You're happy… mostly. But when you imagine getting engaged, moving in together, having a baby, or saying this is my person forever, something inside you hesitates. Do NOT ignore that feeling. But don't assume it means you should break up, either. In this episode, I'm sitting down with marriage and family therapist Dr. Benjamin Jones about the yellow, orange, and even beige flags that can leave you questioning your future together…and how to figure out what they actually mean. Dr. Ben offers a reframe that changes everything: Stop waiting for certainty. Start looking for confidence. You'll learn: How to tell a solvable problem from a real deal breaker Why you should never marry someone expecting them to change The question to ask when you love someone but still aren't sure Why confidence matters more than certainty Which relationship problems can actually get better with the right support Why waiting until after you're engaged to ask the hard questions may be too late If you're questioning whether this is really your person, listen to this episode before you make your next move.

The feeling you can't shake isn't going away. And there's a reason. The regret that keeps coming back. The boredom you feel in a life you actually love. The shame that whispers something terrible about you. Your instinct might be to fix it. Get over it. Make it stop. I want you to try something very different. In this episode, I'm talking with psychotherapist Daniel Smith, author of Hard Feelings, about the emotions most of us would happily delete from our lives, and why getting rid of them might be exactly the wrong goal. This conversation surprised me. Daniel says some things most people would never admit out loud. We get into regret, boredom, shame, anger, relationships, and the uncomfortable question that can completely change the way you understand what you're feeling. You'll learn: Why some feelings keep coming back no matter how hard you try to move on The surprising connection between boredom and the things you love most What may really be hiding underneath an old regret Why shame deserves to be questioned, not automatically believed When a dark emotion deserves your attention (and when you need to push back) The one question I want you to ask the next time a hard feeling shows up Because sometimes the feeling you're trying hardest to escape is the one you need to understand. And once you hear what it has to say, you might see your life very differently.

You know those homeschool conversations where someone asks, “What curriculum are you using?” Sometimes it is harmless. Sometimes she is just curious, looking for ideas, or trying to understand what is working for another family. But sometimes that question lands in a tender place. You hear what someone else is using, what level their child is in, what tutorial they joined, how fast they are moving, or how much that mother expects every day—and suddenly your own homeschool starts to look smaller in your mind. In this episode, I'm talking about the pressure that can rise when another family's path starts to feel like the ruler you should use to measure your own. I share a recent conversation with a mother in a very full season who was trying to make wise decisions for the actual children in her home, only to feel deeply criticized by someone whose family and season looked very different from hers. That kind of conversation can make a mother wonder whether she should push harder, add more, or copy a path that does not truly fit. And I want to be clear: structured curriculum, co-ops, tutorials, high expectations, and rigorous homeschooling can be wonderful gifts when they are serving a specific child and family well. This episode is not against structure, challenge, discipline, or asking children to do hard things. But your homeschool does not have to win a conversation. If comparison has been making you question a path that is truly serving your children, this episode will help you slow down, look honestly at what God has placed in front of you, and choose faithfulness over impressiveness. Scripture referenced: Proverbs 3:5–6, ESV: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” This passage is not a promise that every homeschool decision will be obvious, easy, or free from struggle. It is a call to trust the Lord, acknowledge Him in ordinary decisions, and refuse to build our homeschool on fear, appearance, comparison, or our own limited understanding. XOXO, Katie

If you're doing EVERYTHING in your relationship and starting to resent the hell out of your partner for it…we need to talk. You're the one who notices. Remembers. Plans. Worries. Follows up. Makes sure things actually happen. And after a while, it stops feeling like we're in this together and starts feeling like: Why am I the only one who cares? I've been a marriage counselor for over twenty years, and I can tell you: this dynamic can get ugly. Because underneath the arguments about dishes, schedules, kids, errands, and who was supposed to do what is something much more painful: If you really loved me, why would you let me carry all of this alone? That's why I invited sociologist Dr. Leah Ruppanner, author of Drained, to join me for a very real conversation about mental load, resentment, and how to create a relationship that actually feels balanced again. And some of what she shared surprised me. Because the solution may not be getting your partner to do more. It may not be splitting everything 50/50. And some of the things you're doing to make your relationship more equitable could actually be keeping you stuck. You'll discover: Why does the mental load turn into such intense resentment? What's really happening when you feel like you're the only one who cares? Why can asking your partner to “just help more” backfire? What if 50/50 isn't actually the healthiest goal? Are you unknowingly making it harder for your partner to step up? And how do you change this dynamic when your partner isn't changing? If you're exhausted from carrying your relationship (and even more exhausted from being angry about it), listen to this before you have the same fight again.

EP:206 Hey Thrive Community!

What if the thing you're most ashamed of isn't proof that you're a bad person…but proof that you care deeply about being a good one? If there's something you did (or didn't do) that you still replay in your mind years later, I want you to hear this: There may be a name for what you're carrying. Moral injury. And no, healing it does not mean pretending it was okay. In this episode, I'm talking with Dr. Jaimie Lusk, a board-certified psychologist, Marine Corps veteran, longtime VA clinician, and leading expert on moral injury. Together, we unpack why some experiences turn into crushing guilt and shame, and how to finally start loosening their grip. You'll learn: Why guilt that won't go away may actually be evidence of your conscience What moral injury is and why it can leave you feeling fundamentally “bad” The “million-dollar question” that can completely change how you see what happened How to separate your actual responsibility from the responsibility you've taken on What to say when someone you love is withdrawing under the weight of shame Why healing isn't about erasing the past, but about deciding what you do with it now How to find the right kind of professional help for moral injury You cannot go back and change what happened. But you do not have to spend the rest of your life punishing yourself for it.

You know those days that are so packed with appointments you think, “I guess we're not really doing school today”? For years, appointment days frustrated me. We did the driving, sat in the waiting rooms, talked to providers, answered questions, listened carefully, and came home wiped out. But because we had not finished the normal books and lessons I had planned, the day still felt wasted. Over time, I began to see those days differently. In this episode, I'm talking about medical visits, therapy appointments, waiting rooms, car conversations, follow-up practice, and the kind of learning that may already be happening in the middle of a complicated family life. This does not mean every appointment has to become school. It does not mean every visit needs a project, a worksheet, or a carefully planned lesson afterward. Sometimes the wisest thing after an appointment is rest. But if you have been feeling like appointments are only stealing from your homeschool, this episode will help you begin noticing what may already be there—and let real learning count with a little more peace. XOXO, Katie Mentioned in this episode: Road Trip Mysteries — USA Edition — a screen-free adventure book with puzzles, coloring pages, geography, history, and science that can travel with your family on appointment days. Road Trip Mysteries — Yellowstone Edition — another Road Trip Mysteries adventure for families who want a ready-to-bring resource for car rides, waiting rooms, and travel days.  

Why do certain stories break us open in ways we cannot fully explain? Why does the sacrifice of a fictional lion make a grown adult cry? Why does a humble gardener carrying his friend through darkness produce that catch in the throat that feels like something more than sentiment? Why does a wrongly imprisoned man emerging into the rain with his arms outstretched feel less like a plot point and more like a moment of genuine liberation? In this episode Tanya explores one of the most beautiful ideas in all of Christian thought — the concept C.S. Lewis called Sehnsucht — the inconsolable longing that no earthly experience can satisfy. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3:11, Lewis's works including The Weight of Glory and Mere Christianity, and Tolkien's argument that the gospel is the myth that is also true, Tanya makes the case that the stories that move us most are not accidental. They are echoes. Breadcrumbs scattered by God across the human imagination — in Narnia and Middle Earth and nineteenth century Paris and the walls of Shawshank — all carrying the same thread. The same fingerprint. The same frequency that the eternity in every human heart was designed to recognize. She walks through the gospel thread running through The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Lord of the Rings, Les Misérables, The Shawshank Redemption, Beauty and the Beast, and Encanto — showing the specific gospel element each story carries. And she addresses what we see in people who reject the longing versus those who follow it home — drawing from Pascal, Frankl, and Augustine. This is not a theology lecture. It is a joyful, relational, wonder-filled conversation about the Story we were all made for. In This Episode You'll Learn: What Ecclesiastes 3:11 means when it says God set eternity in the human heart C.S. Lewis's concept of Sehnsucht — the inconsolable longing and what it points toward The famous argument Lewis received from Tolkien — the gospel as the myth that is also true Why story bypasses the defensive intellect and reaches the soul directly The gospel thread running through The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe — substitutionary atonement and resurrection The gospel threads in The Lord of the Rings — providence, sacrificial love, and human insufficiency completed by grace The grace-and-law dynamic in Les Misérables — and what Javert shows us about the person who cannot receive grace The resurrection imagery in The Shawshank Redemption The gospel of love-before-worthiness in Beauty and the Beast The performance-based identity and grace-restoration arc in Encanto What Pascal, Viktor Frankl, and Augustine contribute to the question of the rejected longing What is different about the life of the person who has received the True Story An invitation to pay attention to the ache — and follow the thread home People and Works Referenced C.S. Lewis — The Weight of Glory, Mere Christianity, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, An Experiment in Criticism J.R.R. Tolkien — The Lord of the Rings, On Fairy Stories Victor Hugo — Les Misérables Blaise Pascal — Pensées Viktor Frankl — Man's Search for Meaning Augustine of Hippo — Confessions Carl Jung — Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious Scripture Referenced Ecclesiastes 3:11 — "He has set eternity in the human heart." Romans 5:8 — "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." John 1:5 — "The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it." Romans 8:22 — "The whole creation has been groaning." Revelation 21:5 — "Behold, I am making all things new." Key Takeaway The stories that move us most are not accidental. They carry the frequency of the True Story — the gospel of sacrifice, grace, resurrection, and love-before-worthiness that God has been telling since before time began. The ache they produce is not sentiment. It is the eternity in your heart recognizing where it belongs. Pay attention to it. Follow the thread. It points home.   I hope this episode blesses you!

The problem isn't that you can't decide. It's that you have too many options. If every big decision feels exhausting, there's a reason for it, and it has nothing to do with willpower. I know because I'm exactly the same way. I once spent 90 minutes trying to pick something to watch on Netflix, watched every trailer, and finally handed the remote to my husband and said, "You choose." Sound familiar? In this episode, I'm joined by David Epstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Range and bestselling author of Inside the Box: How Constraints Make Us Better. Together, we explore why keeping every door open is quietly making us more anxious, more overwhelmed, and less satisfied, and why creating limits is often the fastest path to clarity, confidence, and peace. You'll learn: Why having more options often leads to more regret The surprising brain bias that keeps you stuck How to stop second-guessing yourself after you make a decision Why "good enough" beats trying to find the perfect choice How to make big life decisions feel smaller and less scary A simple subtraction exercise that instantly clarifies your priorities Why committing to one path actually gives you more freedom, not less If you're tired of overthinking, afraid of making the wrong choice, or keeping every possibility alive because you don't want to miss out, this conversation will help you stop spinning and start moving forward.

Money. Intimacy. Chores. Parenting. Sometimes it's just the way they said "okay." If it feels like you're fighting about everything, don't try to fix everything. Fix this first. In this episode, I'm joined by my colleague Alejandra Piñero Stillmann, a licensed marriage and family therapist at Growing Self, to talk about the one change that makes every other relationship problem easier to solve: emotionally safe communication. Because here's what I've learned after working with thousands of couples... The fight you're having is rarely the real problem. When couples feel stuck, they usually try to solve money, intimacy, parenting, or household conflict one issue at a time. But if every conversation turns into an argument, none of those problems stay solved. The foundation has to come first. In this episode you'll learn: Why you're probably fixing the wrong problem The real reason the same arguments keep happening What emotionally safe communication actually looks like How to stop seeing each other as opponents and start working as a team Why lasting relationship change takes practice—not perfection The one question to ask your partner tonight that can change the entire conversation If you're ready to take the next step, download my free Communication That Connects training and workbook at www.growingself.com/communication. And if you'd like personalized support, you can learn more about Alejandra Piñero Stillmann and book a free consultation at www.growingself.com/alejandra. Alejandra works with individuals and couples in both English and Spanish and specializes in helping people build healthier, more connected relationships. Sometimes the biggest breakthrough in your relationship isn't solving the biggest fight. It's finally learning how to have a different conversation.
