Blended families don’t usually struggle because people don’t care.
They struggle because love feels complicated, loyalty feels divided, and everyone is carrying history into the room.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why is this so hard?” this episode will help you feel less alone.

Today I sit down with three women who know this life personally. Amanda, Dondra, and Ruth share what it really looks like to build connection in blended families when emotions are messy, timelines don’t match, and expectations clash.

It isn’t about doing things perfectly. It’s about staying when it would be easier to pull away. Learning how to show up with patience when progress feels slow. And creating a home where love grows over time, not overnight.

Helping youth with mental health can feel scary. What if you say the wrong thing. What if you make it worse. What if you don't know enough.

You do not need perfect words or professional training to make a difference. You need presence. Empathy. And a willingness to listen instead of fix.

Listen in to learn what actually helps struggling youth feel safe and supported, what well-meaning phrases can quietly cause harm, and how to normalize real support without shame. We also cover when it is time to involve professional help and why taking mental health seriously is an act of faith, not a failure of it.

If you care about youth and want to show up better, this episode is for you.

Ever feel overwhelmed and just wonder why you can’t get it together?

In this Ask A Therapist episode, Niki and Julie talk honestly about what overwhelm actually looks like in real life. Not the Instagram version. The real version.

Things like, why anxiety sometimes shows up without a clear reason, why “trying harder” usually backfires, and how small changes can bring real relief. Niki also shares a little of her story of joining the church at 19 and how that has given her a huge perspective on mental health.

So come listen in. Check your body before blaming your faith. And stop thinking you need a full life overhaul to feel better.

Have you ever noticed that when life feels the loudest, God can feel the quietest?

If you’ve been feeling spiritually disconnected lately, this episode is for you.

Hearing the Spirit can feel harder in busy, emotionally heavy seasons. Constant noise, pressure, comparison, and even well-meaning spiritual checklists can actually make connection feel more distant. But that doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong!

This episode is about creating space instead of adding more effort. About calming your mind and body so clarity has room to return. And about learning to trust that God isn’t withholding guidance. You might just need a little more stillness to hear it.

If you’re tired of feeling like you’re missing something spiritually, or wondering why connection feels harder than it used to, press play. You’re not alone, and there is a way forward that doesn’t involve more pressure.
