    Ep 55: So Tired and Going Crazy: 4 Steps to Less Stress and More Peace

    We all battle anxiety, overwhelm, weariness, discouragement, and worry: a bundle of emotions that comes with being human, especially a female human.   In spite of our blessings and good fortune, it is our tendency as wives and mothers to wish for more, to strive for better, to push too hard, and to blame all the inner turmoil either on people and pressures outside of ourselves OR on our own deficits. The result is an oppressive cycle of stress.  In this episode of the WifeSavers Podcast, So Tired and Going Crazy: 4 Steps to Less Stress and More Peace, multi-award-winning author and global marriage educator, Ramona Zabriskie, and her husband of 40+ years, Dale, discuss their approach to reclaiming sanity: staying even-keeled, loving, and productive in spite of worldly or family demands, chaos, or troubles.  THROW ME A WIFESAVER: “I feel anxious and I see so much that needs to be done in every area: my physical health, my marriage, my family, my house and yard, myself… I have a vision of what life can be, not perfect but more peaceful, joyful, calm… I just feel like I need time to myself to think, work, pray, exercise, create order in our home. Instead, I feel like the on-call doctor in the ER (with a side job as a taxi driver). HELP! AUGHH!!!”  ⇒ Listen and learn a step-by-step roadmap for achieving more peace in your life and relationship.  KEY TOPICS IN THIS EPISODE:  The 4 steps to greater inner peace, even serenity  How to use the 3 “Shhh’s” to remove yourself from the fray by tapping down environmental expectations  The daily practice that will help you rise above the fray and set your intention  Ways to achieve regular respite, shutting down or refocusing energy How to use these approaches as a springboard to reengage with vigor  Why individual inner peace is so crucial to a successful marriage  “I rely heavily on everything they share and am so grateful for their deep wisdom and experience! Such a great example of a healthy, beautiful relationship and conversation. I feel like I’m in their living room just listening to them talk.” ✮✭✭✭✭” Apple Podcasts listener  RELATED EPISODES:  WS Podcast Ep 10: How Do I Find Balance: A Woman’s Greatest Challenge   WS Podcast Ep 7: Feeling Burned Out After Too Much Stress  WS Podcast Ep 44: How to Keep Calm and Carry On  WS by Ramona on YouTube: Conversations on Finding Balance Conversation  ⇒ Use these resources to learn more from Ramona on this and other subjects related to your womanhood and relationships:  ✅ Read Ramona’s new edition of the multi-award-winning book, WIFE FOR LIFE: THE POWER TO SUCCEED IN MARRIAGE | Amazon  ✅  Sign up for Ramona’s FREE Weekly Mentor Letter full of loving support and helpful instruction  ✅ Get Ramona’s FREE ebook: “5 Lies We Tell Brides and The 5 Truths That Save Wives“  ✅ Join Ramona’s FREE live Masterclass “Understanding Your Husbands and Sons”  ✅ Join Ramona’s FREE live Masterclass “True Desire, Real Romance”  ✅ Ramona’s personal development and marriage success program: WifeSavers Course and Community

    Lucky little girls are daddy’s darling, but when the teen years hit, that special relationship can take a hit, sometimes throwing the whole family off balance. Not only does the resulting dynamic have a definitive impact on a young woman’s sense of esteem and behavior in the present, but a father can also leave an indelible imprint on his daughter’s future including her self-worth, career success, earning potential, and relationships with men going forward: even for the rest of her life.

    Ep 52: Why So Many of Us Can't Stop Watching Hallmark Movies

    Are you one of those Hallmark movie junkies? I have friends who go whole-hog, plopping down on the couch, propping up their feet, showing off those fuzzy socks that say “Leave Me Alone, I’m watching Hallmark movies”! Catch that plural “Hallmark movie(s)”. You can never “eat” just one! Why are those darn things so addictive, and a little contagious even? You may have been wondering just that, even as you can't help rewatching your favorite storylines, romances, and characters. In this lighthearted episode, multi-award-winning author and global marriage educator, Ramona Zabriskie, and her daughter, Hannah, a member of Team WifeSavers, try to solve the riddle about what our penchant for predictable romances, reveal about us as women. THROW ME A WIFESAVER: "Help! Why can't I stop watching Hallmark movies, especially at Christmas?" KEY TOPICS IN THIS EPISODE: Defining the essence of our womanly desires and longings The seven reasons we keep coming back for more from Hallmark What makes us happy as women, more than anything else The belief we treasure about how the universe relates to us What (or who) gives us life, especially in hard times and moments of decision The one idea that inspires us with hope How these stories strengthen our sense of self and desire for balance What beauty, magic, and celebration does for us The allure of repetitive representation of these principles ”If you are looking for a podcast that is uplifting and will help you better understand, be more respectful of, and better utilize men's and women's wonderfully unique, complimentary, and essential roles -- then this podcast is for you!

    Ep 51: The Best of the WifeSavers Podcast: How to Get (and Give!) More Appreciation in Your Marriage

    Do you feel UN (or under!) appreciated? Does your husband seem impassive, unaware, or inconsistent in his notice of all you are and all you do? Disappointment, disconnect, or disrespect is often the direct result of feeling taken for granted. In this episode, multi-award-winning author and global marriage educator, Ramona Zabriskie, and her husband of 40+ years, Dale, answer a wife who knows her relationship and her family could be improved by more frequent expressions of thankfulness, but who doesn’t know how to motivate or inspire her husband to comprehend the obvious: she and the family need and deserve his appreciation. Listen and learn how to create a culture of gratitude in your marriage. THROW ME A WIFESAVER: “My husband and I are having difficult times because our relationship is missing this important phrase: thank you. How can I help my husband practice this more? Thank you!” KEY TOPICS IN THIS EPISODE: Why hearing “thank you” is so important to a woman The common ways spouses fail to appreciate one another How “appreciation” is different than saying “thank you” Detecting his nonverbal demonstrations of appreciation How to ask for more verbal expressions The impact of her appreciation on him He wants her appreciation for this one thing most of all Creating a culture beyond “thank you” and “appreciation” “I LOVE that the podcasts are a discussion with Ramona’s husband because it provides such a great example of a healthy, beautiful relationship and conversation.

    Ep 50: How to Be a Better Husband: Four Secrets Your Husband Needs To Know To Make You Happy

    We talk a lot on the WifeSavers Podcast about the influential power a woman has in her marriage, which is true. However, it is also true what researchers have found about the man in a relationship: husbands have the power to make or break that union. In this 50th episode of the WifeSavers Podcast, How to Be a Better Husband: Four Secrets Your Husband Needs to Know to Make You Happy, multi-award-winning marriage author and educator, Ramona Zabriskie and her husband of 40+ years, Dale, share with a middle-aged but newly-wed husband and wife what they have learned about his role in the success of their marriage. THROW ME A WIFESAVER: “I want to know if you and your hubby will just share with my hubby your good advice for marriage. We are not young but we still don’t know everything.” Listen and learn how husbands can choose to view and respond to a wife's womanhood and individuality in such a way that it satisfies her heart: motivating her to do her very best by him. Key Topics: Why a man’s actions are the key variable that determines whether a relationship succeeds or fails Why it is a challenge for most men to navigate the complexities of marriage How that complexity can be simplified First Secret: What she needs to consistently feel from him Second Secret: What she needs to consistently hear from him Third Secret: What she needs to consistently know about him Fourth Secret: What she needs him to consistently do for her How his actions can soothe the fears all women wrestle with What he can look forward to when he tries his best to do well by her “This has been my favorite podcast for years!

    EP 49: How To Avoid Disrespect When You're Displeased (and why you want to try)

    We all talk on occasion about how unfair or unkind our spouse is to us, but how often do we consider our own slip-ups that way? It’s worth a few minutes of honest introspection (say the length of this podcast) because the reality is...IF your spouse not seeing things your way, or acquiescing to your point of view, or not changing their behavior out of love and concern for you and you’re getting emotional about it, you can bet that the way you are communicating with them is having the opposite effect. Certain approaches, disrespectful approaches, only dampen or damage your spouse’s desire to love you or to be loved BY you. In this episode of the WifeSavers Podcast, How to Avoid Disrespect When You’re Displeased  (and Why You Want To Try), multi-award-winning marriage author and educator, Ramona Zabriskie and her husband of 40+ years, Dale, show a demoralized wife how easily and how often she may be slipping into disrespect and how she can use alternative wording and attitudes to more effectively communicate with her husband. THROW ME A WIFESAVER: “My husband says I’m too critical but I don’t see it. What is he seeing that I’m not?” Listen and learn how the things we say and how we say them, though they may seem logical and fair to us, may actually qualify as toxic, blame-oriented, or manipulative to some degree, and how it's possible to inspire openness, connection, and genuine change, instead of shame, defensiveness, and anger. Key Topics: What respect vs disrespect breeds in a relationship The markers of disrespectful vs. respectful communication The two most important attitudes to incorporate into all your communication Four common approaches to conversation that never work out well Your actual motivation vs. what you’re telling yourself How to reset your heart so your approach is more genuine and congruent How to specifically reframe your message so that you actually make things better “This is my favorite podcast. So much truth and wisdom shared in every episode! I feel like I’m sitting with them in their living room and we’re old friends! ✮✭✭✭✭” Apple Podcasts listener Related episodes: Ep 25: He Doesn’t Really Listen: How To Communicate So He’ll Care (soliciting his engagement in an effective way) Ep 11: Turning Negative Communication to the Positive (pleasant persuasion vs forcefulness in everyday exchanges) Ep 16: Seeing Eye to Eye: What To Do When You Don’t (getting to a solution on a matter you disagree on) Ep 12: His Criticism Hurts: What To Do When Your Husband is Unfair or Unkind (differentiating b/t the different types of criticism and optimal responses to each type) ✅ You’ll want to combine this episode with Ramona’s FREE live Masterclass: “Understanding Your Husbands and Sons”: https://wifesavers.org/masterclass
