We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir , Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times . Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary ( InnSæi: The Power of Intuition ), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

66. Blending Families: Building a New Life Together, Craig and Tiffany, Part 3. 1:06:34

לפני 5 ימים1:06:34

1:06:34

Send us a text When two people find love after divorce, they bring not only their hearts but their history, children, and learned relationship patterns. This intimate conversation with Tiffany and Craig explores the beautiful complexity of blending families and building a relationship that's stronger precisely because of what came before. The couple shares how they've learned to appreciate each other differently than in previous relationships. Craig notes, "Random acts of kindness, the little things she does for me without being asked—I'm highly aware of it now and let her know I see it." They've discovered the profound difference between relationships built on transactions versus genuine partnership. Blending families as adults brings unique challenges. With seven children between them, they're navigating different expectations and healing timelines. Their respectful approach—"Dad, you go at your pace, we'll go at ours"—demonstrates the maturity needed when adult children process a parent's new relationship. Tiffany wisely observes, "I'm not their step-mom; I'm Craig's wife. I want to be their friend," recognizing that roles evolve differently when children are grown. Perhaps most touching is how they maintain joy through difficulties. When paddleboarding against strong currents (literally and metaphorically), Craig looked over to find Tiffany "dancing and singing still" despite the struggle. "That's something I needed in my life," he reflects, "someone who says, 'this is a hard thing right now, but we're going to have fun doing the hard thing.'" Their relationship reminds us that love isn't about getting it perfect; it's about finding the right person at the right time and building something beautiful together—complete with TL (Tell Last) compliment games, spontaneous adventures, and the freedom to simply be themselves.

65. The Safety of Second Chances: How True Partnership Heals Past Relationship Wounds; Part 2 with Craig and Tiffany Cherle 37:58

לפני 12 ימים37:58

37:58

Send us a text What makes a second marriage stronger than the first? For Tiffany and Craig Cherle, it's building a partnership where each person feels safe to be completely themselves. In this heartfelt continuation of our conversation, they reveal something surprising about falling in love later in life: it often doesn't match our Hollywood expectations. Craig describes it as "more of a process" where his brain led more than his heart, while Tiffany questioned if she was even "loving right" after realizing her previous relationships confused love with rescue and overcompensation. Their honesty about navigating relationship differences is refreshing. When Craig bought Tiffany an expensive diamond necklace early in their relationship, she had to find the courage to say it wasn't her style – a moment that revealed how both were learning to communicate authentically rather than just please each other. These small moments built the foundation for something deeper than their past relationships. The couple shares practical wisdom about creating emotional safety. Craig learned that demanding immediate resolution to conflicts only creates more tension, while Tiffany discovered she could express needs without fear of explosive reactions. Their approach centers on speaking what they want clearly while giving each other space to process difficult conversations. Perhaps most touching is how they've created genuine intimacy through everyday vulnerability – laughing about bathroom boundaries and learning what real partnership feels like. As Tiffany puts it, "It's not about me, because when you first get married it's like 'me, me, me, what did they do wrong?'" Now they understand it's about growing together while letting each person remain themselves. Whether you're healing from heartbreak or seeking to strengthen your current relationship, this conversation offers hope that love can be better the second time around when built on maturity, communication, and genuine acceptance.

Send us a text What makes love work the second time around? Tiffany and Craig Sherle join us to share their remarkable journey of finding each other after experiencing divorce from their long-term marriages of 32 and 29 years respectively. Fresh off their wedding just five weeks ago, this newly married couple opens up about navigating the vulnerable world of online dating, overcoming the fear of rejection, and recognizing when something special is worth pursuing. Their story unfolds with refreshing honesty—from Craig's initial reluctance to date again after his divorce to Tiffany's "dating fast and furious" approach that eventually led them to each other on a religious dating app. The conversation dives deep into what makes relationships work after previous heartbreak. Both had to rediscover themselves first, with Tiffany embracing independence and Craig reconnecting with the authentic self he'd lost in his previous marriage. What began as casual dating transformed through hours-long phone conversations where they discovered a shared foundation despite seeming differences on the surface. Their journey illustrates beautiful truths about second chances: that confidence means being comfortable where you are, that vulnerability is necessary despite the risk of rejection, and that finding someone with similar values and upbringing creates the strongest foundation for lasting love. Far from a clichéd romantic story, Tiffany and Craig share the real, sometimes messy process of two people with baggage learning to trust again. Whether you're navigating life after divorce, wondering if love might find you again, or simply appreciating stories of resilience and new beginnings, this conversation offers both hope and practical wisdom for the journey ahead. Subscribe to hear the second part of our conversation where we'll explore how they've created a strong foundation for lasting love.

63. Doctor Google to Dr. Paley: A Mom's Medical Detective Story 1:03:29

לפני 26 ימים1:03:29

1:03:29

Send us a text Imagine hearing that your unborn child is missing a bone in their leg. Then imagine doctors telling you the only option is amputation. This is where Courtney Brown's story begins—a testament to the power of maternal intuition, faith, and the transformative impact of asking for a second opinion. Courtney takes us through the emotional rollercoaster that began at her 20-week ultrasound when technicians discovered her daughter Kinley was missing her right fibula bone. With minimal guidance from her medical team, she embarked on her own research journey and discovered the condition was called fibular hemimelia. After Kinley's birth, multiple consultations with specialists led to the same conclusion: amputation before her first steps. But six days before the scheduled surgery, Courtney couldn't ignore the persistent voice urging her to seek another perspective. Her eleventh-hour email to Dr. Paley, a specialist she'd only read about online, changed everything with his response: "I can fully correct Kinley's leg so she can run, jump, walk and play." What unfolds is a beautiful narrative of faith, medical innovation, and a mother's unwavering advocacy. We explore the emotional challenges of handing a 19-month-old over for complex surgeries, the physical toll of recovery, and the incredible milestone of watching Kinley wear her first pair of shoes on both feet. Now preparing for her third of four planned surgeries, Kinley is thriving as an active second-grader involved in theater, art, and learning guitar. Beyond the medical journey, Courtney offers powerful insights for anyone navigating healthcare challenges: trust your gut, don't be afraid to ask hard questions, connect with others walking similar paths, and remember that primary care physicians can be invaluable allies in coordinating complex care.

62. Gaslight, Camera, Action! Spotting Fallacies Before They Fool You 1:00:29

לפני 5 weeks1:00:29

1:00:29

Send us a text Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling confused, defensive, and somehow at fault for something you didn't do? That's the disorienting power of logical fallacies – deceptive reasoning patterns that toxic partners deploy to maintain control and avoid accountability. In this revealing episode, Tony Overbay and I decode the manipulative tactics that can make you question your own reality. We break down red herrings (distracting with irrelevant topics), straw man arguments (misrepresenting your position), whataboutisms (deflecting blame), and ad hominem attacks (targeting your character instead of addressing the issue). What makes this conversation so powerful is our exploration of why emotionally immature individuals rely on these tactics. For many, it's not calculated malice but a desperate attempt to maintain a "one-up" position when they lack a solid sense of self. Understanding this doesn't excuse the behavior, but it helps explain why accountability feels so threatening to them and why they'll fight so hard to avoid it. The most valuable takeaway? Practical strategies for maintaining your clarity when conversations twist. By pausing before responding, naming the tactic mentally, and remembering that you don't have to engage with every argument, you can protect your emotional well-being. We discuss how journaling creates a record that validates your experience when gaslighting makes you doubt yourself. For the "pathologically kind" person caught in these dynamics, recognizing these patterns can feel uncomfortable – once you see them, you can't unsee them. But this awareness is the first step toward reclaiming your power and creating healthier relationships built on genuine communication rather than manipulation. Ready to stand firmly in your truth? Listen now and discover how understanding logical fallacies can transform how you navigate difficult conversations and protect your emotional sovereignty. Touch a nerve?

61. Befriending Your Nervous System: A Conversation with Trauma Expert Leah Davidson 59:35

לפני 6 weeks59:35

59:35

Send us a text What if the overwhelm, anxiety, and exhaustion you're feeling aren't signs of weakness, but your body's brilliant attempt to protect you? In this illuminating conversation with nervous system resilience coach Leah Davidson, we dive deep into the hidden language of your nervous system and how it shapes everything from your sleep quality to your ability to trust after betrayal. Leah explains why our nervous systems toggle between hyperarousal (anxiety, irritability, racing thoughts) and shutdown (numbness, exhaustion, disconnection) when we perceive danger. She demystifies the vagus nerve—that mysterious communication highway carrying messages between brain and body—and reveals why 80% of these signals travel from body to brain, not the other way around. This explains why trying to "think yourself calm" rarely works as effectively as bottom-up approaches like breathwork and movement. For those struggling with sleep issues, Leah offers a powerful reframe: "Your sleep is usually indicative of your nervous system state throughout the day." Sleep difficulties after betrayal trauma aren't coincidental—they're directly connected to your body's heightened vigilance. The good news? Your nervous system is remarkably adaptable, and with consistent practice, you can rewire those protective patterns. Perhaps most reassuring is Leah's compassionate reminder that dysregulation isn't a character flaw but an adaptive response: "It's not because I was broken. It's because I brilliantly adapted to whatever was going on in my world that was very overwhelming." Through simple daily practices, community connection, and self-compassion, you can gradually create more safety in your nervous system and access the resilience that's always been within you.

60. Breaking the Chains: Surviving Domestic Violence. Trigger Warning! This May Be Difficult For Some Listeners. 56:39

לפני 7 weeks56:39

56:39

Send us a text In this episode, we discuss the tragic case of a mother murdered despite a protection order. Her 17-year-old son discovering his mom's body while sheltering his younger siblings. The aftermath of domestic violence ripples through generations, reshaping how children form relationships and perceive safety at their most foundational level. This episode unpacks the devastating psychological impact of domestic abuse on children through attachment theory. Tony Overbay explains how witnessing violence creates insecure attachment patterns—anxious, avoidant, or disorganized—that follow children into adulthood, while Dr. Jeff Jamison details the physical toll: persistently elevated cortisol levels, constant fight-or-flight activation, and developmental challenges that affect everything from academic performance to social connections. For parents who've escaped abusive relationships, we offer a roadmap for helping children heal while navigating their own recovery. We also tackle the complex emotional landscape facing abuse survivors—the guilt, empathy, and lingering attachment to abusers despite everything they've endured. Healing isn't quick or linear, but with emotional consistency from the safe parent, children gradually distinguish between healthy and unhealthy relationships. If you're struggling with domestic violence or its aftermath, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE. Remember that healing is possible—even after the darkest experiences.

59. Food and the ADHD Connection: Another Cost of Processed Foods, Part 2 29:15

לפני 8 weeks29:15

29:15

Send us a text The gut-brain axis represents one of the most fascinating and consequential connections in our bodies, with profound implications for mental health. Did you know that 90% of serotonin—the neurotransmitter regulating mood, sleep, and anxiety—is actually produced in your gut? This revelation explains why what we eat directly impacts how we think and feel. For parents struggling with children experiencing ADHD symptoms, this episode delivers eye-opening research on how eliminating artificial food dyes, preservatives, and high-sugar foods has shown remarkable improvements in focus and impulse control. We explore practical approaches to introducing healthier options that won't trigger resistance from even the pickiest eaters. Perhaps most alarming is our deep dive into industrial seed oils—those supposedly "heart-healthy" cooking oils that undergo extreme chemical processing. From hexane extraction (using a petroleum-derived neurotoxin) to high-heat deodorization creating trans fats, these oils undergo a shocking transformation before landing on supermarket shelves. We break down how these oils disrupt metabolism, drive chronic inflammation, and potentially contribute to everything from heart disease to cognitive decline. The standard American diet contains an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of up to 50:1, when it should be closer to 3:1. This imbalance creates the perfect storm for systemic inflammation affecting both body and mind. But there's hope—we outline simple, practical alternatives and a three-step approach to making sustainable changes that won't overwhelm your already busy life. Small, consistent changes add up to significant health improvements.

The controversy arises when the question comes up, When is Kindness NOT the right thing to do? When does your kindness become too much, or harmful to the giver of kindness in the relationship? We explore different personalities and situations where kindness uncovers the giver's need to create peace in the relationship, at a huge cost to them. We explore ways to identify if you are providing 'pathologic kindness,' and how to turn the tide of the relationship to one of a balanced power dynamic.

We also weigh in on the positive aspects of screen use, from enhanced communication to accessing valuable educational resources, while acknowledging the risks of distraction and avoidance of important tasks.
