From Crisis to Connection - with Geoff & Jody Steurer

Do you have a hard time saying “no” and holding personal boundaries around your time, energy and resources? We often find ourselves socially conditioned to be agreeable, helpful, and willing to say “yes” at just about any cost. In this episode we discuss the importance of personal boundaries, and surrounding yourself with people who will accept you and grow with you as you develop the ability to hold back when you no longer have the capacity to blindly say “yes”.

Masculinity has become a taboo topic in recent years, often being associated with sexism and misogyny. In this episode Ben Pacini, author of “The Case for Heroic Masculinity” and professor at BYU-Idaho, joins us to discuss the need for healthy masculinity in today’s society. What that looks like in different families, communities, and organizations may differ, but will ultimately benefit the whole for years to come. “The Case for Heroic Masculinity” by Ben Pacini The Power of Community in Pornography Recovery: Download Relay and try it out for free, or learn more at Relay's website.

Delving into the complexities of addiction and betrayal trauma in relationships, this podcast explores the capacity for change and growth in individuals labeled as addicts or jerks. The discussion highlights the importance of empathy, accountability, and creating conditions that support transformation. From navigating controversy to exploring commitment to wellness, the podcast offers valuable insights on rebuilding trust and healing broken relationships.

There is a fine line between words that empower change and words that drag us down and keep us stuck in a hamster wheel of unhealthy patterns. In this episode we discuss the importance of differentiating between shame and regret, and how recognition and action can do wonders for recovery.

Have you ever followed a rule or a request with the understanding, and even the intent, that the person setting that rule won’t really get what they want out of it? In this episode we discuss the term ‘malicious compliance’, and how that can play out in a recovery dynamic. Join us as we discuss the natural, reflexive responses to requests and how to transform those into a more mature, self-reflective response to benefit the relationship.

With an increase of activities, over-scheduling, and an overall feeling of “busy-ness”, our lives already seem full to the brim. When a betrayal or other traumatic event occurs, how do we fit in the time and effort to prioritize that recovery while moving on with the demands of every-day life? In this episode we discuss the necessity of slowing down and editing out the less important tasks in our schedules to open up time to properly address, grieve, recover, and heal from a betrayal.

We hear a lot of talk about “toxic” positivity versus being real, vulnerable, and open about our struggles and emotions. It can be hard to know how to balance the two vastly different emotions, especially when self-regulation has been damaged by trauma. In this episode we discuss the need for balancing the positivity and negativity in our lives and how having movement between both can actually make life richer and more well-rounded.

Relationship bonds come in all shapes and sizes. Friendships, acquaintances, family members, and intimate partners all have different levels of connection and familiarity that they are built upon. In this episode we specifically discuss the bonding that occurs when the focus is on the drama or superficial aspects of everyday life and how that can often quickly become a substitute for deeper connection and intimacy. While there is nothing inherently wrong with anything that connects people together in their interests, we give suggestions on how to use those lighter, superficial conversations to form deeper bonds and attachments.
