Quotables & Tweetables:

  • Intimacy is an important part of a romantic relationship and one of the first areas to suffer if the marriage is going through a difficult season. @imbetweenshow
  • God designed both spouses to invest continually in their attachment to each other. Couples need to work to keep their love secure and safe. @drhenrycloud
  • When a marriage contains conflict or hurt, we tend to busy ourselves in other people and activities. Busyness is less painful than facing some seemingly unsolvable problem in love day after day. @drhenrycloud
  • The reality is that marriage is only as good as the investment people make in it. @drhenrycloud
  • Living in unconditional grace is never an excuse to be irresponsible or hurtful. @drhenrycloud
  • There are other issues surrounding the fact that you do not want to be physically intimate with your spouse. @imbetweenshow
  • Never make the one you love feel alone, especially when you’re there. @GottmanInst
  • Every positive thing you do in your relationship is foreplay. @GottmanInst

In our latest episode, @danielsangi and @christina.therapy chat with Erin Loechner—once a social media influencer with over a million followers—who made the radical choice to step away from the digital spotlight and embrace a low-tech lifestyle. Erin reflects on the impact of social media on her mental health, identity, and parenting, sharing how the constant pressure to stay “connected” was eroding what mattered most. In this conversation, she offers practical tips for reducing tech dependence, from simplifying devices to creating meaningful offline moments with loved ones, all while reminding us that true connection thrives in real life, not on screens. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about living a more intentional, tech-free life.

This episode could not be released on a more perfect day. Today is World Mental Health day and what better way to recognize this important topic than talking about loneliness and how that can affect the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of us. God never intended us to live life alone or in isolation. When we hide parts of ourselves from others as a protection strategy, it has so many negative side effects. But, how do we learn to be vulnerable and open up to others when we fear getting hurt…or even worse than that, no one hears us? We’re diving into this topic in this episode with author, licensed therapist, and pastor @chuckdegroat . After you listen to this episode, be sure to pick up a copy of his new book, Healing What’s Within: Coming Home to Yourself and God When You’re Wounded, Weary, and Wandering. It is one of the books that I will continue to recommend to my clients as it talks about SO many important therapeutic concepts without all the jargon and in a really easy-to-understand way. It is a gift to the church and to the mental health sphere.

First day of school! After a whirlwind of a summer and SO many late nights, we somehow all managed to wake up on time and make it to school. For the first time in two years, Mama doesn’t have a back to school photo since practicum starts next week! Wishing everyone a beautiful school year filled with wonderful, excitement, learning, growing, stretching, meaningful friendships, and stillness. #firstdayofschool #goodbyesummer #itsfallyall
