    When You Start Getting Help & He Doesn't Like It

    What happens when you finally start getting support, healing, and learning how to set healthy boundaries… and your husband doesn’t like it? In this episode of Soul Care with Christy Dunn, we’re talking about something I see happen often: a woman begins to change, and suddenly the patterns that used to “work” in her marriage don’t work anymore. Maybe you’re learning to stop engaging in yelling. Maybe you’re no longer explaining yourself for hours. Maybe you’re setting boundaries and actually following through. And sometimes, when you stop participating in an unhealthy cycle, the other person pushes back. That doesn’t automatically make your husband a terrible person—and this isn’t about husband-bashing. But it does mean you’re allowed to get the support you need, even if he doesn’t completely understand or agree with it yet. In this episode, we talk about: Why your healing can change the dynamic in your marriage What may happen when you begin setting and holding boundaries Why his discomfort doesn’t necessarily mean you’re doing something wrong How to step away from unhealthy interactions without guilt The difference between trying to change him and learning how to change your response Why you don’t need your husband’s permission to get healthy support How becoming calmer, clearer, and stronger can actually give your marriage a better chance—not destroy it If you love your husband and don’t want your marriage to end, but you also know you cannot keep living in the same painful or unhealthy cycle, this episode is for you. If you’re ready for more support, I’d love to help you inside Soul Care. You don’t have to figure all of this out by yourself. Listen now and share this episode with a woman who needs to hear it.

And then wondering, “What is happening to me?” In this episode of *Soul Care with Christy Dunn*, we’re talking about the survival responses that can show up after betrayal—and why you may feel like you don’t even recognize yourself anymore. We’ll talk about: * Why your mind suddenly notices everything. Why you keep checking, questioning, and replaying. The shame that can come with these behaviors. What genuine repentance and accountability look like. How to begin rebuilding trust in yourself You’re responding to broken trust.

    The Gaslighting Nobody Talks About

    You probably know what gaslighting is. But recognizing it when it’s happening in your own marriage? That’s different. Sometimes you go into a conversation knowing exactly what hurt you, and somehow you walk away wondering if **you’re the problem**. Maybe you’re too sensitive. Maybe you misunderstood. Maybe you remembered it wrong. Maybe you shouldn’t have asked the question in the first place. And after enough of those conversations, something else can happen: **you start doing the doubting for him.** In this episode of Soul Care, we’re talking about what gaslighting can actually sound like in a marriage, how it’s different from normal defensiveness, why women eventually get quiet, and what happens when you stop trusting your own voice. We also talk about: * Gaslighting vs. ordinary disagreement and defensiveness * How a conversation about his behavior can suddenly become about yours * Why bringing up hurt can actually be an attempt to restore connection * Why fewer arguments don’t necessarily mean your marriage has more peace * The questions you’re allowed to ask in your own marriage * What gaslighting can look like when betrayal or broken trust is involved * The difference between facts, feelings and assumptions * How you can start gaslighting yourself without even realizing it * Forgiveness, grace, submission and the difference between keeping the peace and actually having peace * How to begin using your voice again without turning every conversation into a fight One line I hope you remember: **Someone else’s discomfort with your question doesn’t make your question inappropriate. **You’re a grown woman in an adult marriage. You’re allowed to ask questions. You’re allowed to say something hurt. You’re allowed to disagree. And you don’t have to talk yourself out of what you know just because someone else doesn’t like hearing it. If this episode hits close to home and you’re wondering where to begin, my Free Marriage Clarity Webinar is a great next step. I’m also getting ready to open another group of women inside my **Soul Care Pathway**, where we go much deeper into finding clarity, rebuilding your voice, creating boundaries, rebuilding trust and figuring out what moving forward looks like for you. 🎧 Listen to the episode, then find the Free Marriage Clarity Webinar through the link in my bio or below this episode.

    The Mistake That's Keeping You Emotionally Stuck

    Are you waiting for him to change before you let yourself heal? Not just hoping he changes — is your healing literally on pause until he does? In this episode, Christy names the mistake she sees over and over in the women she coaches: handing a man the keys to your healing when he may not be equipped, willing, or ready to use them. She calls it what it is — not a healing strategy, but a hostage situation. Inside this episode: Why waiting for him to change feels logical (even righteous) after betrayal — and why it isn't the same as accountability. What the waiting actually costs you: your presence with your kids, your friendships, your own body. The difference between a boundary and a request — and why a boundary never needs his permission. What healing "without his permission" actually looks like: boundaries, rebuilding self-trust, and finding peace that doesn't depend on the outcome. Why letting go of waiting is one of the most empowering shifts you can make — and how it can actually make real change more possible for him, without that being the goal. No matter what he chooses, you still have a life to live. Starting today — not "once he." 🎧 New episodes weekly 💌 Ready to stop waiting and do this work with support?

    The Search for Confession

    You know that thing you do at 11:47pm — phone up, husband asleep, typing "why do I feel so alone in my marriage" into a search bar you'd never say out loud? If that's you, this episode is for you. Loneliness in marriage isn't rare. It's one of the most common — and least talked about — experiences married women have. In this episode, Christy breaks down: What married loneliness actually is (and why it's different from being alone) The lie almost every woman believes about why her husband pulled away Why this stays a secret instead of a conversation Four things that actually help — not "date night," real soul-level stuff If you've ever felt closer to your phone than to the man lying six inches away from you, come listen. You're not crazy. You're not a bad wife. And you're not stuck here forever. Ready to stop managing the loneliness quietly? The waitlist for the next coaching round is open now — link in the show notes. Or come find us in the Soul Care Facebook group. You don't have to keep this a midnight secret. Watch my FREE Marriage Clarity Webinar

    What This Week Taught Me About My Boundaries

    Watch my FREE Marriage Clarity Webinar I wrote and planned a whole episode this week. Then I scrapped it. Not because it was wrong - I just wasn't relating to it or feeling now was the right time for that one. So instead, I'm talking about what I actualy needed this week: boundaries. In this episode: Why I scrapped the plan and switched topics mid-week. What boundaries actually feel life when you're contiuing to learn to set them. If you're in a season where you're having to learn this too, you're not behind. You're right on time. A little bit about boundaries. What they are and what they are not. www.christydunncoaching.com @christydunncoaching

    The Waiting Room

    No one likes the waiting room. You’re not climbing the mountain, and you’re not resting in the green valley — you’re stuck in between, waiting for your name to be called. In this episode, Christy opens up about her own waiting rooms — her marriage, her struggle to have children, and the ways she’s had to learn (by force) how to wait well. She walks through the practical things we wait on, the emotional and spiritual waits that cost us the most, real stories of women who waited through the unthinkable, and the hard truth that sometimes we extend our own waiting room through the choices we’re not making. Her core message: waiting is always hard — but it is always worth it.
