Summary
This episode centers on two powerful listener emails — one from a man afraid his insecurity is destroying a healthy relationship, and another from a woman untangling herself from a four-year situationship filled with hidden children, heartbreak, miscarriages, and blurred co-parenting lines.
We talk honestly about trust, emotional safety, soul-ties, red flags, and why some relationships can’t be prayed into health.
Around the emails, we also share a hilarious family moment involving an accidental birds-and-bees talk at dinner, and a quick update on the book tour and Patreon goals.
This one is vulnerable, grounded, and full of clarity for anyone trying to love better and choose wiser.
✨ What You’ll Hear
- How insecurity dims your partner’s light
- Taking thoughts captive vs. letting fear run the relationship
- Why “she’s too friendly” might be about you, not her
- What emotional safety looks like in dating
- A jaw-dropping story about hidden kids, lies, and postpartum abandonment
- Why F-boy patterns repeat — and how to break yours
- The truth about co-parenting with someone who won’t commit
- How to protect your heart while still raising your child well
- Community updates + how your support keeps the show going
