How to Decrease Your Negative Self Talk

“I stink at marriage thing.” Or “I’m not very good at this motherhood thing.” Or “I’ll never measure up to her.”

Do you ever think negative thoughts like these? They may seem minor, but they aren’t.

Negative self-talk is a problem that causes us to feel defeated and less than. And it takes us away from God’s plans for us.

Tune in to this episode of the podcast, and I will show you where you might be suffering form negative self-talk and how you can overcome it so you can feel like your best self every day.

Power of Prayer in Marriage

Many times women ask me how they can improve their marriages and influence their husbands.

The power of prayer is usually one of the first tools that comes to my mind. Prayer is so powerful. Never underestimate it.

We will also talk about how to use prayer to grow closer to your husband. I hope it helps you in your marriage, as well.

When Marriage Isn't Fair

When I speak on marriage, I often try to encourage women to take the lead on improving their marriage relationship. But I often hear a common complaint about this theory — “It’s not fair.” 

I get it. I’ve been there. I know how overwhelmed many of us moms are. And so often, it feels like we can’t take on one more thing. Why should we have to be the one’s to “work” on our marriage?

In today’s podcast, I’d like to show you what to do when you are feeling like it’s not fair in your relationship.

It’s not about taking on more work, it’s about changing the type of effort you are putting in and receiving massive results. I hope this helps!

How Letting Go of Control Will Set You Free

If you have ever told your husband …

What to wear

What he should eat

How he should drive

What he should or should not buy

How to take care of the kids

That he should lose weight

Or how to do or handle anything for that matter … this podcast is for you.

What most women don’t realize is that when we tell our husband how he should do something it sends a message to him that we don’t think he is capable of handing the situation himself. This deeply hurts his heart.

It’s not at all what we mean. We are only trying to make things easier for everyone. But it’s important that we know the message our husband is hearing if we want more connection and love in our relationship.

So, in this episode, I’m going to share a few of my classic control freak stories so you can see how it plays out in real life.

And I hope to convince you that letting go of control will actually make life better, not worse.

This shift is absolutely critical to having a great relationship!

Why the Movie Jerry Maguire is Bad for Marriages

I was talking to a client the other day and she realized she was constantly questioning her worthiness in her marriage.

She realized that if her husband did or said the things she needed him to, she felt worthy and loved. She felt complete.

But if he didn’t do them, she subconsciously took that as a sign that he did not love her and she was not worthy.

That reminded me of the infamous line in the movie Jerry Maguire where Jerry says to his estranged wife, “You complete me.”

In today’s podcast I’ll teach you where your true worth and completion come from and help you take that pressure off of your husband and your marriage.

How to Heal Your Past

We have all been through things in our lives that hurt. And we tend to carry that pain around with us throughout our lives. Telling and retelling the story of what happened to us and how bad it hurt.

If you’re not telling your story publicly, you are telling it to yourself over and over again. Some of us do both.

In this episode of the podcast I am going to teach you how to heal your past so you can feel better and move on with your life.
