The Good Food Solution
God gave you one physical body so you can live, move, and breathe, and He gave you a vital resource to fuel it––food. But because of damaging diet culture and pervasive body-shaming messages, it can be hard to have a relaxing, enjoyable relationship with food. Today we have nutritionist Meredyth Fletcher joining us, who believes that your perspective on food is directly impacted by your view of God, and in The (Good) Food Solution, she will help you shift any distorted perceptions on food to see it, not as a burden, but as a gift from God to nourish your body.

It can be subtle and insidious, but it can also be overt and manipulative. The goal of the emotional abuser is to control and have power over their spouse.Emotional abuse might look like one spouse isolating the other spouse, taking away their network of support. The abuser might feel insecure or afraid of their spouse leaving them or finding or thinking anything different than the abuser, so the abuser attempts to keep them isolated, away from the influence of others. Any time a spouse prevents their spouse from support networks and controls who they can and cannot be with, or when and how they can be with them, this is emotional abuse.Emotional abuse might also look like the abusive spouse making threats. The abuser might threaten a certain type of consequence be inflicted, they might threaten to leave, to withhold finances or information, they might withhold sex or affection, a car, a place to stay, the abuser might threaten sharing false information with family or friends, or with an attorny - or they might threaten taking the kids away, or they might threaten self harm or suicide. Any type of threat is emotional abuse.Emotional abuse could also be yelling or name calling. Statements such as “You’re so dumb. You’re fat. You're a freak. You’re an idot.” Or any verbal outbursts - this is emotional abuse.It might also look like gaslighting. Gaslighting is when the abuser makes the victim question their reality to gain power and control. It’s a way to create doubt and confusion. The victim will typically make a statement, and the abuser will respond with denial, shifting blame, minimizing, scapegoating (blame another for something that happened), or lie evenSupport the show

What if growing in our faith looks like creativity in our everyday moments? We're sitting down with our friend Kelly Brinkmann as we dive into the ways God has shown her that in turning over our dirty, dried out pieces, God creates a beauty we never thought possible. We talk about being centered on peace, how faith in Jesus is messy and hard, and how we can get back on track when we fall astray.Grab your copy of Art for the Soul, here: https://www.amazon.com/Art-Soul-Growing-Through-Creativity/dp/B0BW31GK2Z Find Kelly Brinkmann, here: https://www.kellybrinkmann.com/ Get all of our marriage freebies here: https://awifelikeme.com/subscribe-to-a-wife-like-meGrab our book, Dear Wife, here: https://www.amazon.com/Dear-Wife-Invitations-Practice-Connection/dp/0578470594Listen to the A Wife Like Me Podcast, here: https://awifelikeme.com/podcast/Grab our planner, Design My Day, here: https://awifelikeme.com/design-my-dayFind out your Wife Type in less than 3 minutes, here: https://www.tryinteract.com/share/quiz/63b9c12b3108f50016d71ba7Grab our FREE marriage resources, here: https://awifelikeme.com/subscribe-to-a-wife-like-meSupport the show
The Merge For Marriage
In our social media–driven world, it’s easy to think that everyone else has it together in their marriages and to wonder if maybe you made a mistake. The truth is, most couples don’t enter marriage with the communication or attachment skills needed to deal with the integration of two lives. In this amazing conversation with Kari Trent Stageberg, we'll learn what it means to “merge” and the damaging effects of not dealing with differences early in a marriage; the seven predictable areas of conflict; a practical, powerful plan for dealing with differences with one’s partner; and how to help another couple walk through the merge process.Grab The Merge For Marriage, here: https://www.tyndale.com/p/the-merge-for-marriage/9781646070626Find Kari Trent Stageberg, here: https://www.karitrentstageberg.com/Grab our book, Dear Wife, here: https://www.amazon.com/Dear-Wife-Invitations-Practice-Connection/dp/0578470594Listen to the A Wife Like Me Podcast, here: https://awifelikeme.com/podcast/Grab our planner, Design My Day, here: https://awifelikeme.com/design-my-dayFind out your Wife Type in less than 3 minutes, here: https://www.tryinteract.com/share/quiz/63b9c12b3108f50016d71ba7Grab our FREE marriage resources, here: https://awifelikeme.com/subscribe-to-a-wife-like-meSupport the show
