Understanding EMDR: It’s Weird, but It Works Jun 25, 2026 00:22:16 If you've been betrayed, you already know that the pain doesn't stay in the past.

For fifteen years, she stayed in a marriage defined by criticism, control, and abuse, holding the appearance of a healthy relationship together while her church community watched. It wasn't until her children became targets of her

A Conversation with My Ex: Relationships After Divorce May 12, 2026 00:19:19 The hardest part of healing isn't the moment you decide to forgive. It's every ordinary moment after that—the birthday parties, the graduations, the holidays—where you choose it again and again.In this final episode of A Conversation with My Ex, Tim and Konnie talk about the relationship they've built in the years since their divorce. It hasn't been without struggle. There have been seasons of ten

This episode gives voice to some of them.Tim and Konnie's story has been told, in their own words, across two honest episodes. But there were others in that story, too.

Old Wounds, New Hurts Apr 21, 2026 00:23:17 The common explanation for why affairs happen is usually a marriage story: we grew apart, I felt neglected, something was missing. And sometimes those things are true.
