    #367 Loving Your Adult Children Better with Brooke Oniki

    So many of us feel blindsided when it comes to the relationships with our adult children. We heard a lot about the struggles of being a parent to babies, toddlers, tots, pre-teens, and teenagers, but not a lot about our role and relationship with adult children. The reason it can be so challenging is because so many of us struggle to let go of our parenting role and we can often feel that their decisions (which we can often judge as poor) reflect badly on our parenting. In this podcast I'm speaking with Coach Brooke Oniki about how we can show up better in the relationships with our adult children. You can find Brooke at www.brookeoniki.com Here's her Women's Conference talk: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/byu-womens-conference-may-2025-keeping-a-strong/id1819510541?i=1000712108423 Brooke's podcast: Midlife with Brooke Thanks for listening!

  2. #366 The Art of Not Negotiating

    JUN 30

    #366 The Art of Not Negotiating

    The conflict between our primitive brain and our prefrontal cortex is as old as our brain itself. Primitive brain wants to avoid pain, pursue immediate pleasure, and conserve energy, while our prefrontal cortex wants to plan for long-term goals and growth to improve the quality of our life. This conflict will often trigger internal negotiation between the two parts of our brain. When we can learn to increase our awareness around this negotiation and apply some tools to our thinking, we can find it easier to shut down the negotiation, keep the commitments we make to ourselves, and grow in our self-respect and self-trust.

    #365 Villains, Victims, and Heroes

    Our brain loves a good story, and what it doesn’t know in facts, it will make up with fiction. It also really like to have a villain, a hero, and a victim in its story, and it especially loves to put us in the victim mode because when there we don’t have to shoulder the responsibility for solving our problems, we can just stay in a place of blame, criticism, and accusation. If we are to move out of being stuck in victim mode, we have to learn how to banish the villain from our story and even stop expecting a hero to show up and rescue us. We have to learn how to step out of being the victim and become our own hero.   Thanks for listening!  Want to learn more about this concept?  Check out these podcasts:   #29 Validation #122 Your Story About You #139 Being a Martyr #140 Still Being A Martyr #152 Victim or Hero? #250 Being a Victim #268 Drama Response #291 Divorce and Self-Worth  Are you curious about what it would be like to work with me?

    #364 Relationship Neglect

    It can be so easy to neglect the relationships we most value because we have this ideas that they will always be there. And then, because of the neglect, they are no longer there. We may still be married, but we are distant and disconnected, and it can seem daunting to find our way back to connection. But it is possible to change the trajectory of our disconnected relationship and come back into feeling close and connected again. It will take some courage, it will take some intentional efforts, and it will require vulnerability, but you can do it if you really decide it’s what you want.

    #363 Breaking Your Over- and Under-functioning Cycles with Jane Copier

    When we over-function, we are stepping into other people’s lanes and taking responsibility that is not ours. When we under-function, we are stepping back and inviting people into our lane to do things that we are responsible for doing. These one-up and one-down behaviors are so detrimental to our relationships and not only stem from our own insecurities but also feed the insecurities of others and promote resentment in everyone involved. This conversation with fellow mid-life relationship coach, Jane Copier, discusses the impact of over- and under-functioning and provides great examples to help you see how you might unknowingly be adding to the dysfunction of your relationships.

    #361 A Luxurious Life, part 1

    Many of us dream of living a luxurious life, and we tend to confine that idea to materialistic luxury, houses and cars and clothing and jewelry and travel, all the things money can buy. And yet there is another type of luxury I want to talk about with you today, and it’s the luxury of living in alignment with our God-given possibility, the luxury of living a life that creates more energy than it expends, a life of feeling amazing in the love we have for ourselves, for others, and for God. This is luxury that feels like a pearl of great price, something we are willing to sacrifice our tolerable life for.

    #360 What Men Wish Women Knew About Men's Sexuality with Dan Purcell

    Sexuality between men and women can get complicated because we experience it so differently. And until we can begin to understand and accept those differences, and then learn to work with them rather than fighting against them, we will struggle to find the connection and intimacy that a great sexual relationship has to offer us. In this podcast I am speaking with Dan Purcell, a life coach and Christian couples sex expert about what women may not know about men's sexuality. You can find more of Dan on his popular podcast Get Your Marriage On.
