Why Can’t I Ask For What I Need?
Are you good at sharing your needs with others? Most people aren’t.
Today on the podcast, Erin from Texas called in to talk to me about the fact that she has a really hard time opening up with others and being vulnerable about what she really needs and how she feels.
She’s seen patterns in her life of putting others first and staying silent about her own needs…until it’s become problematic.
We unpack some of the relationships where she struggles the most, and then I ask her some questions to help her get to the root of WHY — so she can begin making changes! If you have a hard time sharing your needs, listening to this conversation will get you processing your own story and give you some steps you can take to begin making changes in this really important area of your life!!

Do I Have Dad Wounds? with Jonathan Pokluda
Today on the podcast, I have a favorite friend back on for a SECOND on-air session, JP Pokluda!!
In our initial conversation, JP and I talk through some of his challenges with having too much on his plate and moving into a season of burnout (listen to the conversation here).
In that conversation, I asked if he had ever dug into his past history— and how it might be impacting what he does in the present.
Today on the podcast, we jump into part two of the conversation and I ask him a few questions to consider from his past, and specifically his relationship with his dad and how that may have shaped his beliefs.
Does he have father wounds that he needs to deal with? What could that look like? How may have his relationship with his father shaped his beliefs and motivations?
No matter what type of past we come from, it’s important for us to look back and assess exactly how our past has influenced & shaped our beliefs and our identity.
Tune in to my conversation with JP Pokluda!

When Old Trauma Spills Into New Relationships
Today on the podcast, I chat with Rebecca from Tennessee! She’s wanting to know how to deal with past trauma, and especially how to keep it from spilling into present relationships!
Relationships are like a mirror to our wounds and weaknesses…. And as much as they reveal past woundings, they also invite us to heal!
When people get close enough, we can start to feel some of that relationship trauma coming back up — but that is also the best opportunity to begin the work of healing. We talk through what that looks like and exactly how to do it in today’s episode!

When There Seems To Be No Hope with Katherine Wolf
Today on the podcast, I am talking to the amazing Katherine Wolf.
In her 20s, after the birth of her first child, Katherine experienced a devastating massive stroke that left her paralyzed and turned her life completely upside down.
In this on-air counseling session, we talk through this horrific season in her life and what it means to look for hope when there seems to be no hope. We talk about medical trauma, and how she has processed these things moving forward. We talk about her childhood, and how God was preparing her for suffering, even from a young age.
It is one of the most encouraging episodes, so go give it a listen!

Trusting God vs. Taking Control
Today on the podcast, I talk with Faith from Georgia!
She’s 37 and single so she really wants to know how to know when you are trusting God with your dating life — versus when you are taking control of the situation yourself.
Do you have to sit back and wait for things to happen, or can you take initiative?
And what if you are a woman, where does that leave you in the equation of making a dating relationship happen – considering some people think it’s wrong for a woman to take an initiative.
We talked about what waiting on God actually means and what it doesn’t mean… And how to be proactive with your love life in the meantime!!
It’s an episode every single who is wanting to date should listen to!!!!
