Have you done all the personal development and spiritual work but still struggle to figure out your relationships? Today I am putting on my psychologist hat to teach you exactly why you might be self sabotaging the love you desperately want. Through a real life couples therapy story about a client named Alex, we explore how childhood trauma and neglect shape our emotional bonds and lead to avoidant or anxious behaviors in our marriages.

I will break down John Bowlby's Attachment Theory so you can identify whether your own attachment style is secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganized. More importantly, I will share Dan Siegel's four steps to building a secure attachment, which are making your loved ones feel safe, seen, soothed, and secure. Tune in to discover how to repair your emotional bonds, heal your inner child, and finally experience the fulfilling relationships God created you to enjoy.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• How your childhood attachment style dictates the way you relate to your partner and children today.

• The four main attachment styles, which are secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized, and how to identify yours.

• Why people with avoidant attachment styles unconsciously push away love and intimacy to protect themselves from getting hurt.

• How to stop the cycle of toxic relationship patterns by modeling secure behaviors for your loved ones.

• How to use the four steps of safe, seen, soothed, and secure to intentionally build healthy emotional bonds.

There are times when life throws a massive curveball and you are the only one who can bat it. In this episode, I explain how to respond to an absolute crisis, whether it is a scary health diagnosis, a financial disaster, or a deeply personal family issue. Like Mike Tyson famously said, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.

I share the heartbreaking story of a dear friend whose teenage son suddenly expressed suicidal ideation. She panicked and immediately sought out therapists and psychiatrists, which is the right thing to do, but I want to teach you why delegating a crisis is never enough. You must be the one equipped to handle those crucial, immediate moments of crisis in your own home.

You do not need a psychology degree, but you absolutely need the foundational tools to validate and support your loved ones effectively. I will teach you the power of combining practical psychology with a deep spiritual connection to the Holy Spirit. Tune in to discover how being both equipped and connected will allow you to show up with confidence and grace when your family needs you most.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• How to properly bat the massive curveballs life throws at you when nobody else is around to help.

• Why you cannot fully delegate the emotional support of your loved ones to outside professionals.

• How to use basic psychology tools to validate your loved ones instead of shaming them in moments of crisis.

• How a simple box breathing exercise can pull someone out of a panic attack and bring oxygen back to their brain.

• Why spending daily time in silence, solitude, and stillness will connect you to the divine wisdom you need to handle any disaster.

Have you ever read all the books and taken all the courses but still struggle to see real change in your life? Today I am sharing why simply having information does not equal transformation. I learned at a business conference that the highest expense in any business is not knowing, but even when we have the awareness, we often fail to act.

In this episode, I break down the crucial differences between knowledge, understanding, and true wisdom. While knowledge is having information and understanding is experiencing it personally, true wisdom is actually applying it. I will teach you my personal three step method of prayer, purpose, and partner to help you finally take action and embody the life you desire.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why having information and reading all the books does not automatically equal true life transformation.

• The crucial difference between knowledge, understanding, and true wisdom.

• How to skip painful lessons by allowing the experiences of others to inspire wisdom in your own life.

• How to use prayer to offer your goals for a greater intention and make your commitments firm.

• How connecting your actions to a deeper purpose and finding an accountability partner will help you embody your goals.
