  • When Grief Becomes Your Greatest Teacher with Devi Brown

    When Grief Becomes Your Greatest Teacher with Devi Brown
    Apr 23 2025
    What happens when your world falls apart—and you’re left standing in the wreckage, asking, “Who am I now?” In this moving Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with the wise and radiant Devi Brown to talk about grief, trauma, surrender, and the surprising strength we find in our most broken moments. Devi shares how a series of devastating events—including the death of a dear friend, the end of her marriage, and the unraveling of long-held identities—sent her into a deep spiritual reckoning during the pandemic. Yet what emerged was a new, more rooted version of herself, one anchored in faith, self-worth, and radical presence. Devi opens up about how she learned to stop resisting pain and instead, soften into it—finding not only healing, but beauty and transformation. We talk about faith (even when you're not sure what you believe), the difference between self-worth and self-esteem, and why it's okay (and necessary!) to fall apart. She also shares tools from her new book Living in Wisdom, including daily practices to reconnect with your body, spirit, and sense of purpose, even in the depths of sorrow. Here’s what we explore: Why trauma often comes in layers—and how grief can open the door to deeper healing. The difference between surrender and giving up. What it means to have a relationship with God (even if you weren't raised with one). How to recognize the sacred in everyday “tiny joys.” The difference between self-esteem and true self-worth. How meditation can help you move through pain and connect with divine guidance. The practical power of mudras, breathwork, and daily ritual to restore your soul. Why being present with your pain increases your capacity for joy. You can connect with Devi on her website or LinkedIn, and don’t forget to grab a copy of her book Living in Wisdom for even more insights and inspiration.

    Can You Ever Truly Rebuild Trust After Infidelity?
    Apr 16 2025
    How do you move forward when trust shatters in an instant? When the person who vowed to stand by you crosses a line that feels impossible to uncross? Here we are with another Language of Love session as I connect with Chelsea, a listener navigating the aftermath of her husband's infidelity. Chelsea's husband confessed to drunkenly making out with another woman at a bachelor party a year ago. Since then, he's been attending therapy, practicing radical transparency, and working to rebuild trust. Yet Chelsea still struggles with obsessive thoughts: Will I ever truly move past this? In this session, we deep dive into: Why betrayal cuts so deep and how a single act of infidelity can trigger old wounds from past relationships or childhood How to create a level of transparency that is crucial in rebuilding trust The "continuum of cheating" and its implications How our bodies can tell us the truth before our minds catch up If Chelsea's story resonates with you - if you're navigating the painful aftermath of betrayal or struggling to rebuild trust - we want to hear from you.

    Work Spouse: Office Joke or Relationship Threat?
    Mar 18 2025
    The "work spouse" dilemma – why is this modern trend causing so much tension in relationships? You’ve likely heard the term before… It's that coworker who knows your partner’s schedule better than you do, the one who grabs a meal with your partner before a big meeting, or the person your partner vents to when work gets overwhelming. In this episode of Language of Love Session , I dive into a listener’s question about this emotionally charged topic: the concept of a "work wife" or "work husband." Heather, one of our listeners, shares her discomfort with her husband calling a female coworker his "work wife," even though their relationship appears purely professional. Heather finds herself torn between feeling overly sensitive and wanting to protect the trust and boundaries in her marriage. Here’s what we’ll dive into: Why titles like "work wife" can carry ah emotional weight—and why they can actually be a threat to your relationship. How to validate feelings of jealousy or insecurity without letting them take over. The importance of open, honest communication when addressing sensitive topics. Practical strategies for expressing your feelings without placing blame or creating defensiveness. The emotional risks of developing close workplace friendships—and how to maintain healthy boundaries. Why emotional intimacy with colleagues can sometimes overshadow your primary relationship—and how to prevent it.
