When you or your spouse are experiencing mood shifts, don’t forget that between ages 35-55, perimenopause may beat work. Today we talk with Bria Gadd aka “Bria the Period Whisperer” about her specialty of perimenopause as she helps to identify symptoms and also helps to support families through this often foggy period. Here we invite empowering conversation around shifting health rhythms and personal and couple’s empowerment as you remobilize for thriving and rest in perhaps new ways. Bria also reminds us of what we can expect and plan for across a 4-week cycle as well as ways to open up conversation around the sometimes sensitive topic. Whatever your type/or pairing, join us as we walk through whatever the next days and decades hold together in this fun, candid, and grace-filled convo about bringing awareness, normalcy, and love for the ups and downs of ALL of our seasons.

When we're feeling weary, our temptation is often to run away from the very things that heal - authenticity, community, sacred daily rhythms, and most of all, Christ. We can even allow our creative outlets to be another way of escapism, or move so fast into the "post-human" world of bots and "ten easy steps" that we miss relating and sharing Christ's love. Today we get to talk about this human tendency and about finding our truest mission - and solace - in real community and giving as Christ shows us how to do. We get to talk about all of this and more with the incredibly talented and world-renowned couple, husband and wife duo and four-time-Grammy Winner and musician and producer Charlie Peacock and gifted award-winning writer Andi Ashworth together as they discuss their new beautiful book, "Why Everything That Doesn't Matter, Matters So Much: The Way of Love in a World of Hurt" as they teach us lessons they've gleaned across five seasons of marriage from Carnegie Hall to the jitcken, and so much more!

One of the key factors that will determine how healthy you are in your marriage is and will always be working with your attachment styles and responses to threats and triggers. Yet the typical attachment wiring labels (secure, disorganized, anxious, withdrawing, and more) also need more fleshing out as well as acceptance, for each part of you has a role to fulfill to protect you and make you feel safe. As we open the new year, Christa is joined by Dr. Anita Kuhnly (Baker Books, The Four Relationship Styles) as she walks us through the four styles, helping you to walk through stumbling blocks to safety in finding your deepest love. Watch on YouTube: 👩‍🚒a Firefighter w/ a depth of character not easily won, 🕵️‍♂️ an investigator w/ superior, analytical skills, 👮‍♀️ a competent & independent security guard, 👨‍👨‍👦‍👦 or a networker, who thrives on connection? Dr. Anita helps us to know that every style comes w/strengths & vulnerabilities and yet  understanding the practical implications is a game changer & can help you spend more time at the top of your game.
