Send us a text Have you ever done what you believed was right, only to watch it spiral into an unexpected nightmare? This deeply personal episode peels back the layers of what happens when good intentions meet harsh reality. We share the moment our family celebration—our daughter's wedding—collided with crisis as an unexpected visitor was injured by our family dog. What followed was a year-long journey through medical treatment, legal proceedings, financial settlements, and profound emotional losses that tested our family's resilience in ways we never anticipated. The parallels between our story and listener Derek's experience with his youth mentorship program reveal a universal truth: sometimes the price of integrity is steep. When Derek reported suspected abuse of a teen in his care, he faced backlash, isolation, and questioning whether his intervention was worth the cost. His question—how to keep doing right when it brings pain—resonates with anyone who's paid a personal price for following their moral compass. Grit isn't just perseverance; it's the courage to stand when everything within you wants to collapse. Grace complements this strength by maintaining compassion when you feel wronged. Together, they form the foundation for navigating life's most unfair moments without losing your essential humanity. Whether you're currently weathering a storm of your own or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a compassionate perspective on finding meaning in difficult circumstances. We explore why character matters most when tested and how to preserve your heart for helping others even after painful experiences. If today's conversation resonated with you, we'd love to hear your story. Have you ever paid a personal price for doing what you believed was right?

1 71. Your Diagnosis Is Not Your Identity: How to Rebuild Trust with Food, Kara Roberts, Part 2. 30:32
Send us a text The emotional journey of managing diabetes extends far beyond counting carbs or checking blood sugar. For many like Lisa, our listener who sparked this powerful two-part series, a diabetes diagnosis can feel like a sentence to a joyless relationship with food and an identity defined by illness. In this illuminating conclusion of our conversation with dietitian Kara Roberts, we dig into the psychological terrain of living well with diabetes. How do we break free from the burnout cycle of perfect compliance followed by complete abandonment of healthy habits? What happens when the inner critic becomes so loud that it drowns out all progress? These questions sit at the heart of sustainable health transformation. Kara shares wise, practical guidance for rebuilding trust with food without obsessing over numbers. We explore how family dynamics shape our health journey and how to transform teenagers from obstacles into allies. The conversation reveals simple yet powerful starting points anyone can implement today—from incorporating vegetables at every meal to strategic meal planning that eliminates decision fatigue. Perhaps most powerfully, we challenge the notion that your diagnosis defines who you are. Your A1C is not your identity—it's merely information guiding your next steps. As Dr. Jamison reminds us, "People truly never fail unless they quit." This perspective shift creates space for self-compassion without abandoning accountability. Whether you're managing diabetes yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a refreshing approach to health that honors both physical needs and emotional wellbeing. The path forward isn't about perfection—it's about progress, partnership, and reclaiming the joy in eating one meal at a time.

In this powerful episode, we're joined by Kara Roberts, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator with over 25 years of experience helping people navigate the complex terrain of type 2 diabetes management. Kara Roberts brings warmth and practical wisdom to a conversation that goes far beyond carb counting and medication options. She shares why the overwhelming information online often leads to burnout and how simple changes—not perfect ones—create sustainable health. Through addressing a heartfelt question from a listener struggling with diabetes burnout, Kara demonstrates how to break free from the all-or-nothing cycle that leaves so many exhausted and discouraged. We tackle the buzzing conversation around medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro head-on, exploring both their benefits and concerning side effects like muscle loss that often go undiscussed. But this episode shines brightest when discussing the emotional relationship with food—how to reclaim cooking joy, use spices to transform "healthy" foods into delicious meals, and develop patterns instead of restrictive plans. Whether you're newly diagnosed, supporting someone with diabetes, or simply seeking a more balanced approach to nutrition, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on health that honors both physical needs and quality of life. Hear why Kara believes "it's going to be okay" isn't just empty reassurance but a promise backed by practical strategies that work in real kitchens and busy lives.

In this deeply moving episode, we address a raw question from Amber, a 42-year-old mother of four who has just received a breast cancer diagnosis and finds herself paralyzed by fear and conflicting advice. Leading oncologist Dr. Stephen Anthony joins us to provide clarity through the chaos, bringing 30 years of clinical experience and extraordinary compassion to this crucial conversation. Dr. Anthony shares revolutionary insights about modern cancer treatment approaches that offer more hope than ever before, explaining how precision medicine and genomic profiling can increase treatment success rates from 15% to an astonishing 60%. Beyond the medical facts, Dr. Anthony offers profound wisdom on the emotional journey, defining hope as "a spiritual quality based on a relationship with God" while optimism comes from medical evidence. This distinction becomes a guiding light for anyone facing difficult health decisions. The conversation delves into practical strategies for navigating the overwhelming flood of information—both helpful and harmful—that accompanies a serious diagnosis. Perhaps most powerfully, Dr. Jeff shares the story of a patient who, when faced with limited time, chose to prioritize relationships over career, finding peace in his final days by "living in the now." This episode isn't just for those facing cancer—it's for anyone who needs reminding that in life's most challenging moments, being present and connected to those we love matters most.

Send us a text What happens when pornography addiction shatters trust in a marriage? This powerful part two of a three episode series begins with Keith's raw confession—a 36-year-old husband and father whose pornography habit, which began at age 13, was discovered by his wife on their shared tablet. The pain and shame of that moment sparked profound questions about healing, redemption, and rebuilding trust. Our expert panel delves into the neurological underpinnings of pornography use, explaining the Coolidge Effect and how the brain's dopamine system gets hijacked through novelty-seeking. We explore why traditional approaches of shame and self-loathing actually reinforce problematic behaviors rather than resolving them. This isn't just about stopping a behavior—it's about understanding the adaptive patterns that began in childhood and learning to respond to emotional needs in healthier ways. For partners like Keith's wife who find themselves asking "Why wasn't I enough?", we offer compassionate insight into why pornography use rarely has anything to do with the spouse's attractiveness or sexual satisfaction. Instead, it often indicates deeper emotional regulation challenges that predate the relationship entirely. Both the person struggling with pornography and their hurt partner need guidance, understanding, and practical strategies to move forward. The conversation weaves between scientific understanding and heartfelt wisdom, offering practical tools like the HALT method (recognizing when you're Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired), the vital importance of the "pause" before acting on urges, and why seeking specialized help makes all the difference. We distinguish between guilt (which can motivate change) and shame (which keeps people stuck), while emphasizing that healing begins with separating actions from identity. Whether you're struggling with pornography yourself, supporting someone who is, or trying to rebuild trust after discovery, this episode offers both compassion and clarity for the journey ahead. Stay tuned for part two, where we'll address Keith's specific questions about breaking free, rebuilding trust, and finding forgiveness in himself and his relationship. If you or someone you love is struggling with pornography, consider Tony's "Path Back" program. www.thepathback.org If you have a burning question for us, please send it to: trishajamisoncoaching@gmail.com!

The questions haunt you: Was it all a lie? Am I not enough? How could I have missed this? In this raw, courageous exploration of betrayal trauma, we address a heartbreaking letter from Paula, who recently discovered her husband's secret pornography use after eight years of marriage. The emotional devastation of betrayal trauma runs deep, but healing begins with understanding an essential truth—this isn't about you. Dr. Jeff Jamison, Tony Overbay and I unpack why partners often internalize betrayal, questioning their own worth when confronting a partner struggling with pornography. We examine how early exposure (in this case, at age 10) creates neurological pathways that can lead to lifelong struggles with intimacy and authentic connection. When trust shatters, the body responds as if under attack. We offer practical techniques for nervous system regulation—box breathing, self body scanning, and sensory grounding—while acknowledging the messy reality that healing isn't linear. The question "was our entire relationship a lie?" reveals the painful complexity survivors face as they sort through what was real and what wasn't. One of the most liberating perspectives we share is that rebuilding trust isn't the betrayed partner's responsibility. The person who broke trust must demonstrate consistent, transparent behavior over time. This shifts the burden off the wounded partner and places it where it belongs—on the person doing the healing work. Whether you've experienced betrayal or are struggling with pornography use yourself, this conversation offers compassionate insight without judgment. Next week, we'll explore the husband's perspective with equal depth and care. Remember, while pornography addiction damages relationships, it doesn't determine your worth or destiny. Healing is possible, even if the path forward feels impossible to imagine right now. Have a question? Trouble in your marriage? Contact Trisha directly at trishajamisoncoaching@gmail.com.

پخش در آینده پخش در آینده لیست ها پسندیدن دوست داشته شدSend us a text When two people find love after divorce, they bring not only their hearts but their history, children, and learned relationship patterns. This intimate conversation with Tiffany and Craig explores the beautiful complexity of blending families and building a relationship that's stronger precisely because of what came before. The couple shares how they've learned to appreciate each other differently than in previous relationships. Craig notes, "Random acts of kindness, the little things she does for me without being asked—I'm highly aware of it now and let her know I see it." They've discovered the profound difference between relationships built on transactions versus genuine partnership. Blending families as adults brings unique challenges. With seven children between them, they're navigating different expectations and healing timelines. Their respectful approach—"Dad, you go at your pace, we'll go at ours"—demonstrates the maturity needed when adult children process a parent's new relationship. Tiffany wisely observes, "I'm not their step-mom; I'm Craig's wife. I want to be their friend," recognizing that roles evolve differently when children are grown. Perhaps most touching is how they maintain joy through difficulties. When paddleboarding against strong currents (literally and metaphorically), Craig looked over to find Tiffany "dancing and singing still" despite the struggle. "That's something I needed in my life," he reflects, "someone who says, 'this is a hard thing right now, but we're going to have fun doing the hard thing.'" Their relationship reminds us that love isn't about getting it perfect; it's about finding the right person at the right time and building something beautiful together—complete with TL (Tell Last) compliment games, spontaneous adventures, and the freedom to simply be themselves.

1 65. The Safety of Second Chances: How True Partnership Heals Past Relationship Wounds; Part 2 with Craig and Tiffany Cherle 37:58
Send us a text What makes a second marriage stronger than the first? For Tiffany and Craig Cherle, it's building a partnership where each person feels safe to be completely themselves. In this heartfelt continuation of our conversation, they reveal something surprising about falling in love later in life: it often doesn't match our Hollywood expectations. Craig describes it as "more of a process" where his brain led more than his heart, while Tiffany questioned if she was even "loving right" after realizing her previous relationships confused love with rescue and overcompensation. Their honesty about navigating relationship differences is refreshing. When Craig bought Tiffany an expensive diamond necklace early in their relationship, she had to find the courage to say it wasn't her style – a moment that revealed how both were learning to communicate authentically rather than just please each other. These small moments built the foundation for something deeper than their past relationships. The couple shares practical wisdom about creating emotional safety. Craig learned that demanding immediate resolution to conflicts only creates more tension, while Tiffany discovered she could express needs without fear of explosive reactions. Their approach centers on speaking what they want clearly while giving each other space to process difficult conversations. Perhaps most touching is how they've created genuine intimacy through everyday vulnerability – laughing about bathroom boundaries and learning what real partnership feels like. As Tiffany puts it, "It's not about me, because when you first get married it's like 'me, me, me, what did they do wrong?'" Now they understand it's about growing together while letting each person remain themselves. Whether you're healing from heartbreak or seeking to strengthen your current relationship, this conversation offers hope that love can be better the second time around when built on maturity, communication, and genuine acceptance.

Send us a text What makes love work the second time around? Tiffany and Craig Sherle join us to share their remarkable journey of finding each other after experiencing divorce from their long-term marriages of 32 and 29 years respectively. Fresh off their wedding just five weeks ago, this newly married couple opens up about navigating the vulnerable world of online dating, overcoming the fear of rejection, and recognizing when something special is worth pursuing. Their story unfolds with refreshing honesty—from Craig's initial reluctance to date again after his divorce to Tiffany's "dating fast and furious" approach that eventually led them to each other on a religious dating app. The conversation dives deep into what makes relationships work after previous heartbreak. Both had to rediscover themselves first, with Tiffany embracing independence and Craig reconnecting with the authentic self he'd lost in his previous marriage. What began as casual dating transformed through hours-long phone conversations where they discovered a shared foundation despite seeming differences on the surface. Their journey illustrates beautiful truths about second chances: that confidence means being comfortable where you are, that vulnerability is necessary despite the risk of rejection, and that finding someone with similar values and upbringing creates the strongest foundation for lasting love. Far from a clichéd romantic story, Tiffany and Craig share the real, sometimes messy process of two people with baggage learning to trust again. Whether you're navigating life after divorce, wondering if love might find you again, or simply appreciating stories of resilience and new beginnings, this conversation offers both hope and practical wisdom for the journey ahead.

پخش در آینده پخش در آینده لیست ها پسندیدن دوست داشته شدSend us a text Imagine hearing that your unborn child is missing a bone in their leg. Then imagine doctors telling you the only option is amputation. This is where Courtney Brown's story begins—a testament to the power of maternal intuition, faith, and the transformative impact of asking for a second opinion. Courtney takes us through the emotional rollercoaster that began at her 20-week ultrasound when technicians discovered her daughter Kinley was missing her right fibula bone. With minimal guidance from her medical team, she embarked on her own research journey and discovered the condition was called fibular hemimelia. After Kinley's birth, multiple consultations with specialists led to the same conclusion: amputation before her first steps. But six days before the scheduled surgery, Courtney couldn't ignore the persistent voice urging her to seek another perspective. Her eleventh-hour email to Dr. Paley, a specialist she'd only read about online, changed everything with his response: "I can fully correct Kinley's leg so she can run, jump, walk and play." What unfolds is a beautiful narrative of faith, medical innovation, and a mother's unwavering advocacy. We explore the emotional challenges of handing a 19-month-old over for complex surgeries, the physical toll of recovery, and the incredible milestone of watching Kinley wear her first pair of shoes on both feet. Now preparing for her third of four planned surgeries, Kinley is thriving as an active second-grader involved in theater, art, and learning guitar. Beyond the medical journey, Courtney offers powerful insights for anyone navigating healthcare challenges: trust your gut, don't be afraid to ask hard questions, connect with others walking similar paths, and remember that primary care physicians can be invaluable allies in coordinating complex care.

پخش در آینده پخش در آینده لیست ها پسندیدن دوست داشته شدSend us a text Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling confused, defensive, and somehow at fault for something you didn't do? That's the disorienting power of logical fallacies – deceptive reasoning patterns that toxic partners deploy to maintain control and avoid accountability. In this revealing episode, Tony Overbay and I decode the manipulative tactics that can make you question your own reality. We break down red herrings (distracting with irrelevant topics), straw man arguments (misrepresenting your position), whataboutisms (deflecting blame), and ad hominem attacks (targeting your character instead of addressing the issue). What makes this conversation so powerful is our exploration of why emotionally immature individuals rely on these tactics. For many, it's not calculated malice but a desperate attempt to maintain a "one-up" position when they lack a solid sense of self. Understanding this doesn't excuse the behavior, but it helps explain why accountability feels so threatening to them and why they'll fight so hard to avoid it. The most valuable takeaway? Practical strategies for maintaining your clarity when conversations twist. By pausing before responding, naming the tactic mentally, and remembering that you don't have to engage with every argument, you can protect your emotional well-being. We discuss how journaling creates a record that validates your experience when gaslighting makes you doubt yourself. For the "pathologically kind" person caught in these dynamics, recognizing these patterns can feel uncomfortable – once you see them, you can't unsee them. But this awareness is the first step toward reclaiming your power and creating healthier relationships built on genuine communication rather than manipulation. Ready to stand firmly in your truth?

Send us a text What if the overwhelm, anxiety, and exhaustion you're feeling aren't signs of weakness, but your body's brilliant attempt to protect you? In this illuminating conversation with nervous system resilience coach Leah Davidson, we dive deep into the hidden language of your nervous system and how it shapes everything from your sleep quality to your ability to trust after betrayal. Leah explains why our nervous systems toggle between hyperarousal (anxiety, irritability, racing thoughts) and shutdown (numbness, exhaustion, disconnection) when we perceive danger. She demystifies the vagus nerve—that mysterious communication highway carrying messages between brain and body—and reveals why 80% of these signals travel from body to brain, not the other way around. This explains why trying to "think yourself calm" rarely works as effectively as bottom-up approaches like breathwork and movement. For those struggling with sleep issues, Leah offers a powerful reframe: "Your sleep is usually indicative of your nervous system state throughout the day." Sleep difficulties after betrayal trauma aren't coincidental—they're directly connected to your body's heightened vigilance. The good news? Your nervous system is remarkably adaptable, and with consistent practice, you can rewire those protective patterns. Perhaps most reassuring is Leah's compassionate reminder that dysregulation isn't a character flaw but an adaptive response: "It's not because I was broken. It's because I brilliantly adapted to whatever was going on in my world that was very overwhelming." Through simple daily practices, community connection, and self-compassion, you can gradually create more safety in your nervous system and access the resilience that's always been within you.

1 60. Breaking the Chains: Surviving Domestic Violence. Trigger Warning! This May Be Difficult For Some Listeners. 56:39
Send us a text In this episode, we discuss the tragic case of a mother murdered despite a protection order. Her 17-year-old son discovering his mom's body while sheltering his younger siblings. The aftermath of domestic violence ripples through generations, reshaping how children form relationships and perceive safety at their most foundational level. This episode unpacks the devastating psychological impact of domestic abuse on children through attachment theory. Tony Overbay explains how witnessing violence creates insecure attachment patterns—anxious, avoidant, or disorganized—that follow children into adulthood, while Dr. Jeff Jamison details the physical toll: persistently elevated cortisol levels, constant fight-or-flight activation, and developmental challenges that affect everything from academic performance to social connections. For parents who've escaped abusive relationships, we offer a roadmap for helping children heal while navigating their own recovery. We also tackle the complex emotional landscape facing abuse survivors—the guilt, empathy, and lingering attachment to abusers despite everything they've endured. Healing isn't quick or linear, but with emotional consistency from the safe parent, children gradually distinguish between healthy and unhealthy relationships. If you're struggling with domestic violence or its aftermath, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE. Remember that healing is possible—even after the darkest experiences. You are NOT alone! https://gofund.me/1328af7c…
Send us a text The gut-brain axis represents one of the most fascinating and consequential connections in our bodies, with profound implications for mental health. Did you know that 90% of serotonin—the neurotransmitter regulating mood, sleep, and anxiety—is actually produced in your gut? This revelation explains why what we eat directly impacts how we think and feel. For parents struggling with children experiencing ADHD symptoms, this episode delivers eye-opening research on how eliminating artificial food dyes, preservatives, and high-sugar foods has shown remarkable improvements in focus and impulse control. We explore practical approaches to introducing healthier options that won't trigger resistance from even the pickiest eaters. Perhaps most alarming is our deep dive into industrial seed oils—those supposedly "heart-healthy" cooking oils that undergo extreme chemical processing. From hexane extraction (using a petroleum-derived neurotoxin) to high-heat deodorization creating trans fats, these oils undergo a shocking transformation before landing on supermarket shelves. We break down how these oils disrupt metabolism, drive chronic inflammation, and potentially contribute to everything from heart disease to cognitive decline. The standard American diet contains an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of up to 50:1, when it should be closer to 3:1. This imbalance creates the perfect storm for systemic inflammation affecting both body and mind. But there's hope—we outline simple, practical alternatives and a three-step approach to making sustainable changes that won't overwhelm your already busy life. Small, consistent changes add up to significant health improvements.
