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

@danielsangi looked at me the other day and said, “Hey…we haven’t had a big fight in awhile.” We gave each other a 🙌 because the Lord knows we used to fight often! Through the years, we’ve learned to communicate a little clearer, apologize a little quicker, and remind ourselves that we’re on the same team. We’ve come a long way and we are grateful for people and resources that have invested life and love into our marriage. Speaking of resources, we were blessed to be a part of the new version of Art of Marriage that came out early this year. It is a 6 week couple study created to strengthen your marriage and help nurture a healthier and more fulfilling relationship. It is available through RightNow Media and can also be purchased through artofmarriage.com On our podcast, we interviewed Brian and Jen Goins, producers of the new Art of Marriage, about how this resource can impact your marriage. Find the episode wherever you listen to podcasts or go to IMbetween.org/183 #artofmarriage #familylifecanada #familylife #marriageresources #couplehelp #marriagepodcast

Explored the hoodoos in Drumheller today 🦖. I cannot believe the landscape difference here! We even spotted wild 🌵 which seems so foreign in a place that gets SO much ❄️ and -40 degree weather 🥶. After travelling with just @danielsangi for 2 weeks, it was wonderful to slow things down and adventure with the kiddos. I often count the summers we have left together…and it is going by too quickly. Thankful for the memories we get to create with our party of 5 ♥️.
