The Trina Glines Podcast - Love on Purpose: Your Part in a Happily Ever After

This past week my sweet father-in-law was reunited with his sweet wife. She passed away a year ago. At a time like this many thoughts go through your head. We were blessed to have this beautiful couple be an example of everlasting love. A true love story. It has made me ask myself what will my love story be? What legacy will I leave behind? I invite you to join me in pondering these quesitons.

It was such a pleasure to interview Shaunti Feldhahn. I hope you will enjoy learning from her as much as I did! When I discovered her book For Women Only, I found a treasure. Every woman needs to read this book! Her research is phenomenal. And as she put it, "it isn't rocket science" but it is often an area we don't talk about enough; the differences between men and women. Ladies, empower yourself...

This is part 2 of my interview with Jeff Ford, LMFT. He shares with us what some women do wrong that causes men to seek acceptance elsewhere. We discuss the natural DNA of a man and then Jeff dives into pornography and the challenge it is for men. He steps us through the process of how to help a husband who views pornography as well as how a wife can find help for her. We end with how we as wives...

This interview with Jeff Ford changed me as a mom of 4 son's. It empowered me to be an advocate for my son's and my husband. Jeff talks to us about how the world is emasculating men and how it affects them. We discuss boys and their true DNA and bullying at school. Jeff educates us about ADHD and ADD, and how schools do population control. I had never learned about this before! We also discuss the...

First, we should never wait for our marriage to start struggling before we start to work on it! And I don't believe we can afford to just wing it anymore. Most of us weren't taught all we needed to know when we said yes to this union. We need tools and skills to maneuver through this messy thing called marriage and life. It is really quite amazing how simple new knowledge can enhance our lives. It...

I had the privilege to interview Joree Rose LMFT, mindful educator, author, and speaker about the power of mindfulness in our daily lives, relationships and families. She has so many insights and takeaways you can start using right away to create mindfulness in your life. Learn the ABCs of mindfulness "Awareness", "Breath", and "Choice". She teaches mindfulness is the practice of living your life...

Today I discuss how our reactions are often habitual. Habits we have created from our Attachment Style and our Blueprints. But we do not have to be a victim of our habitual reactions. We can learn a better way!! YAY! Our goal in life is to increase our happiness, we can do this by choosing to learn new ways of being that help us become a better version of ourselves! In this podcast, I share with y...

My husband Jeff has been my greatest supporter! He has been my guinea pig through this entire process, and still continues to be! As I went on my journey to discover more happiness in my life and marriage, I discovered The Intense Woman! She had stolen my life away! Not to mention made Jeff walk on eggshells. (no one should live that way) Jeff and I chat about how The Intense Woman affected him. W...

Geoff Steurer is trained in EFT couples therapy. (Emotional Focused Therapy) This therapy is based on Dr. Sue Johnson's research. Every individual has their own attachment style which is influenced by their upbringing. Geoff gives a short explanation of these attachments styles, but then we move right into how we can choose to create a secure bond with our spouse. A secure attachment style is idea...

Has your spouse ever come home in a bad mood and all of a sudden now you are in a bad mood? Would you like to stop catching other's negative emotions? It is totally possible - you can learn a fairly simple way to process other's emotions without catching them! There is a space between the trigger and our reaction that most of us do not recognize. Empower yourself by learning a better way - I share...

I continue my conversation with Laura M. Brotherson LMFT, CST, on intimacy in marriage. I am so grateful for her work. Our conversation is very open and is not meant for younger ears. Laura talks about that marriage is all about self-development. None of us were taught everything we needed to know to have a successful marriage. Intimacy is part of that development. We also discuss the importance o...

I learned so much from interviewing Laura M. Brotherson LMFT, CST. I love her energy and determination to educate women about intimacy in marriage and the importance of embracing our sexual being. We have a very candid conversation that may not be meant for younger ears. Sex is a big part of marriage, and rarely are we set up for success. I am so grateful for the work Laura has done, I know she co...

Sexual intimacy is a big part of marriage, but very few of us are set up for success in this area. We often struggle to talk about the positive aspects of sex. Did you know that we all are sexual beings? This is not a negative or bad thing. But because society has perverted what sex really is, we struggle to find a healthy balance. It is imperative for women to learn and understand that they are a...

If you have ever struggled with being consistent, don't worry you are human. Human nature is to be complacent. So you are fighting against your own DNA. Most of us have very good intentions, but unfortunately, intentions are not enough to create being intentional. Hopefully my podcast today will inspire you to be kind to yourself during self-growth, and also encourage you to move forward with inte...

Iuri Melo’s is an LCSW. I love his enthusiasm for life. Iuri shares, “Know Better, Do Better, Feel Better”, this follows my belief that knowledge is empowering! Our conversation concentrated on tools we can use to deal with depression. He also shares ways we can become mindful and not allow the depression to overtake us. We discuss how to work with a spouse who deals with depression as well as our...

Everyone can fall in-Love but staying in-love is created. I can't tell you how often I hear individuals say, "we just don't love each other anymore, we've fallen out of love." Or "I love my spouse but I am not in-love with them." It is so important to understand longterm love. We are wrong to think that after the I do's it should just naturally happen like the falling-in-love part did. We have to...

We all experience anger. Some might struggle more than others. There is a power that comes with knowledge. When we understand where something comes from and how it works, it allows us to control it, if we choose to be aware consciously. Anger is one of those areas that will destroy love. It will ruin YOU if you do not control it. My interview with Dr. John Schinnerer, Anger Management Specialist,...

It is always joked about that men and women come from different planets and that we speak different languages, but I have never had anyone specifically tell me what my man's language is. We assume our spouse is a version of us. I was struggling to feel heard and understood by my man. Learning my man's language has changed EVERYTHING!

Todd Sylvester has spent the last 25 years as a Personal Development Coach and Mentor. His journey is inspiring and touches every person who hears it. As a recovering addict, he now helps others to rid themselves of the bully in their heads and how to light their soul on fire!

Through my journey, I discovered that many women lose themselves after marriage. We feel lost and wonder where our life went. The Intense Woman is a real being. Many women resonate with her. Will you?

Sometimes life leads you on a new journey. I chose to take this journey NOT on my own but to bring as many women with me as I can. I hope you will join me!

Every marriage is perfectly “imperfect”. Two imperfect people coming together and creating awesome IMPERFECTNESS! As we choose to be intentional in our lives, focusing on OUR part, we will create the happiness we desire. Often we get stuck trying to discover what our part is and find ourselves focusing on our partners part. That is why I created this podcast. To help women understand what our part...
