    165 | Don't Fake Orgasms, Foreplay Begins Outside of the Bedroom, and More Tips on Intimacy

    In this episode of The Living Easy Podcast, Lindsey Maestas opens a biblical and deeply practical conversation about intimacy in marriage—because God makes all things new, even in the bedroom. (Watch this recording on YouTube and subscribe!) Sex may not really matter to you, but it does matter to your marriage. See the FULL curriculum for: The Sex and Intimacy Project: A 4-Week Video Study a His + Hers Workbook for a Stronger Sex Life  Lindsey unpacks how physical connection is both a spiritual and emotional act of service, not just a physical one. She discusses the dangers of pornography and limerence (infatuation during affairs), how these habits alter neural pathways, and how to create a sex life in your marriage that you don't need to escape from.  You'll hear about: Why Scripture calls us not to deprive one another of sex (1 Corinthians 7:5) Why the clitoris reminds us that God created sex for pleasure How faking orgasms creates emotional distance and false intimacy What it means to "show and tell" in your marriage — teaching your spouse what makes you feel good during sex How foreplay actually begins outside the bedroom, through kindness, affection, and communication The importance of serving one another in physical foreplay The "microwave vs. crockpot" concept and understanding your spouse's arousal rhythms Seeing your partner's body as a book to study — learning, honoring, and cherishing it as a form of worship to God This is a conversation about reclaiming intimacy, breaking shame, and learning to experience sex as a holy gift that strengthens your connection rather than erodes it. When we become intentional about how we love each other physically, we build the kind of trust, pleasure, and connection that keeps our marriages from burning down.

    162 | Charlie Kirk: Cultural Hypocrisy, Forsaking Casual Christianity, & God's View on Division in a World That's Tearing Itself Apart

    In this episode, Lindsey Maestas tackles the outrage and confusion surrounding Charlie Kirk's death with a bold Christian perspective.  Why casual Christianity is no longer acceptable — lukewarm faith won't survive in a world that mocks conviction. Why celebrating murder is pure evil — and how Christians must reject a culture that cheers for death. The weaponization of memory & "martyr" narratives — how both sides twist a man's life and death for political gain. The silencing of dissent and free discourse — why cancel culture threatens both faith and freedom. God's uncompromising view on murder — the sanctity of life and the danger of playing judge. God's call to radical love over destructive division — how believers can be peacemakers in a fractured, hostile world. This is a wake-up call for Christians who are tired of surface-level faith and cultural compromise. With biblical truth and real talk on politics and discipleship, Lindsey calls us higher: to boldness, holiness, and unity in a world that's tearing itself apart.

    160 | Why Do We Stay in Toxic Relationships? Stephanie Quayle's Story of Love, Loss & Freedom

    When country artist Stephanie Quayle lost her boyfriend in a tragic plane crash, she thought the grief would be the hardest part. But nothing prepared her for the heartbreak of learning at his funeral that she wasn't the only woman in his life. That revelation shattered her world, and forced her to reckon with the truth: the relationship had been toxic from the very beginning. In this powerful episode, Stephanie asks the question, "When I was in these two toxic relationships, how did I feel about myself?" "Why didn't I ever question myself?" "Why did I allow this for myself?" She opens up about her personal story of love, betrayal, and resilience and the importance of who you spend your time with. Drawing from her book: Why Do We Stay?, she shares the emotional and psychological journey of recognizing abuse, escaping manipulation, and reclaiming her freedom. She's joined by psychologist and narcissism expert Dr. W. Keith Campbell, who helps unpack the red flags of toxic relationships, including narcissism and gaslighting. Whether you're questioning your current relationship or healing from the past, this episode will offer insight, hope, and a way forward.

    159 | Stop Performing Your Life: Unbecoming the Perfect Wife and Mom with Dr. Merry Lin, PhD

    So many women know what it feels like to live for other people's approval. Whether it's in our marriages, motherhood, friendships, or even our faith communities. We project the "perfect" version of ourselves: kind, put-together, selfless, always smiling… but most of us are just freaking exhausted. In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Merry Lin, clinical psychologist, speaker, and author of The Fully Lived Life and The Great Unbecoming. Dr. Lin shares her personal story of growing up as the only Asian family in her community, and how she tried to become the "whitest, kindest, most Christian" version of herself just to be accepted. She opens up about what it means to live out of our shadow self—the insecure, performative part of us that craves belonging—and how that can keep us stuck in unhealthy cycles of performance and people-pleasing. Together, we also wrestle with a powerful tension many women feel: believing that living in their flesh is living in their essential, selfish self, and therefore sinful. But our essential self is not selfish. The Bible says we are created in the image of God, and the word for "image" means essence. That means who we really are—our true, God-breathed self—is a reflection of His glory. Every woman reflects a different aspect of that glory. In today's episode, we talk about: Why so many women feel like they must project a polished version of themselves (and how it's draining their souls). The difference between living out of the shadow self vs. the essential, God-breathed self. How compassion and grace for ourselves unlocks healing. Why unbecoming the false self is actually the only way to truly become who God made us to be. If you've ever felt like you're performing your life instead of actually living it, this conversation will remind you that freedom begins with unbecoming who you thought you had to be and resting in the truth of who God already says you are.

    Ep. 158 | From "Fat Camp" to Losing 100 Pounds: Ilana Muhlstein on the Best Healthy Eating Habits For Yourself and Your Kids

    In today's episode, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Ilana Muhlstein shares her story of growing up in a home where fast food was the norm. As her dependence on food grew, her parents sent her to what she calls "fat camp." That's where she had the life-changing realization: "You only get one body." From that moment, Ilana began making small, consistent changes that led to losing over 100 pounds, and keeping it off. Now she leads a community of over 300,000 people who are learning to have a healthier, more joyful relationship with food. In our conversation, we talk about the impact of giving kids a sugar-loaded diet on physical and mental health - how it affects their mood, focus, and energy for the rest of the day.  Ilana shares the two parenting patterns she sees most often when it comes to food—letting kids eat whatever they want or reacting out of frustration instead of planning ahead—and how to instead learn how to . She offers practical, realistic tips for raising balanced eaters, teaching kids about carbs, protein, and energy in ways that make sense to them. We also explore how nutrition affects not just physical health, but mental health, confidence, and the parent-child relationship. If you've ever wondered how to help your kids make better food choices without turning every meal into a battle, this episode is full of encouragement and easy, actionable ideas.
