Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt your heartache. Felt like you were being punished. Experienced tremendous sadness. Couldn’t stop crying. Felt like you wanted to die. According to an article I read from joincake.com, and I’m paraphrasing…“Grief is the conflicting feelings caused by the end of or permanent change in your life.” That’s how I felt 15 years ago when we were at my mom’s bedside. I e...

What is THE 'Why' behind your worry? We all have a ‘Why’ behind our worry. And for us MAMA and PAPA bears, we just ‘know’ when something is adversely affecting our cubs. No matter what, we worry and fret but are you aware of how worrying affects your body? There’s a definite connection between worry and heart disease, worry and depression, worry and Lupus, worry and Arthritis, worry and fi...

This is the last episode with Kyle Jetsel featuring worry, and if you’ve listened to the first two, I know you were blessed, educated, and encouraged.

During their 25-year marriage, they shared six children, including a set of twins on the autism spectrum, one on the severe end of the autism spectrum – of which he now s...

In our last episode, Kyle left off with a premonition. The premonition was definitely something to worry about, worry can sap your energy, make you feel defeated and discouraged and make you incapable of being the wonderful person God would have you be, but something amazing came from this situation. A real triumph. A lesson in LOVE and character-building. I thought we were going to be talking spe...

This week, we’re discussing worry. What exactly is worry? Worrying is feeling uneasy or being overly concerned about a situation or problem.  How much is worry costing you? You could look at it two ways. It could cost you zero dollars, or your entire life. So, which one do you choose? When I began my research for this topic, I was worried. For real, though, being the detail-oriented person I am, I...

Have you, like me, found yourself in left field concerning your expectations of a man when he says he’s a Christian? I know I’m not the only one with a skewed sense of what a Christian man is. Putting aside the fact that we are all flawed humans, I thought a Christian man would be patient and kind. That he’d be considerate and not pushy, exhorting his own greatness.  https://www.marriagetrac.com/w...

Marriage can be lonely for various reasons. But when you’re married to a narcissist the loneliness is pervasively massive and emotionally draining. It’s like loneliness on steroids. When you’re unconnected to your spouse the world can be a lonely place. When the one you love abandons you emotionally it can feel like your heart is breaking into many small pieces because you are, in effect, alone. T...

Today I continue my conversation with a young lady who has experienced being married to a narcissist which gave her insight into something that her brother would go on to experience in his marriage.

Can someone who lives to control, distance, and rule over the other person in their relationship repent...
