We all want to feel loved, cherished, valued, loved in our relationships, especially with our life partner or spouse, yet so many of us, myself included, spend so many days feeling quite the opposite.

In this episode with relationship coach Shiloh Minor, we get a glimpse into ways we can heal these pieces of ourselves, take responsibility for what we bring to the relationship and home, and how we can use that to heal our relationships and have a harmonious home life.

In this episode I was joined by Julie Hest. Julie has a deep love of stories, how they connect us to ourselves, our history, our community, they help form us into who we are. Julie and I explored some stories and the ways they can make everything around us come to life in a different way, how they can be used to teach and inform and build safety within as well as validate our experiences. The power of a story really comes to life.

Julie is a 'Kiwi' mom of 2 who just moved her family to the Netherlands where her husband is from. Julie is so excited about the story for social change and personal growth. You can find out more about the power of story and how they light Julie up on her podcast Unabridged You linked below!

In this episode I had the pleasure of welcoming back Amanda Schuman so we could talk about Dreamwork. Amanda shared her knowledge of different dream traditions from Freud to Jung to a Judeo-Christian perspective and how they all show different interpretations of the importance of dreams. She shares how the insight gained from dreams can help in the home with an understanding of events and relationships. She even walked me through a brief demonstration how remembering a single flash of a dream can be insightful and how to train our brains to become more in tune with our dreams.

In my world it seems like everyone knows the kitchen is the hub of the home. Where everyone seems to gather, where we provide nourishment through food, company and more, where homework is done, the hard conversations are had, family games happen - it's just where the magic is. In this conversation with Lexie Grech we look at the significance of the kitchen for creativity, playfulness, stomach and soul nourishment, legacy making and creating safety.

Lexie's cooking and therapy coaching business is about helping people discover all the pieces of magic that are in the kitchen and you can find her here:

Wife, mama, former teacher and host of the Having a Mom Moment Podcast Shannon Warner and I went into what it is like to build a home in motherhood. We explored what it can look and feel like to solve one puzzle (keeping young children alive) only to discover a new problem (homeschooling, going back to work, a new job) and how to stay focused on self, spouse and spawn as she puts it.

Shannon shares her heart about what home means to her and her journey to discover what she needed as a mother and wife and person.
