How to Have a Difficult Conversation

My client’s husband had a problem with being chronically late for dinner. They always planned for dinner to be at 6:00 p.m., but he hardly ever made it home on time, and he never called or texted.

In this week's podcast, I am going to teach you how to have a difficult conversation with your husband that doesn’t end in a fight!

How to Get Help from God

I’m going to be really vulnerable with you here. It was Mother’s Day, and my husband gave a bottle of wine to another woman.

 

You’ll have to tune into the podcast to hear the whole story, but I can tell you that I was so hurt by that.

 

Mothers get two days a year—their birthday and Mother’s Day—to be doted on by their families, and I felt like this incident took that away from me.

 

All I wanted was to feel cherished on that day.

 

In this episode, I’ll share how I got help from God with my thoughts and feelings. It’s kind of a cool story. I hope you’ll tune in!
