About mind & motive| attachment styles & relationship psychology podcast
Every veteran and every former athlete carries a story most people never hear, not because they don't want to tell it, but because nobody ever asked the right questions.
Honor Your Story is a show about the moments that shaped the people who served this country and the people who gave everything to a game. Hosted by Coach Taylor, a collegiate volleyball coach and creator of the Honor Your Story memory journal series, each episode explores real stories of service, sacrifice, grit, and identity, the kind of stories that deserve to be remembered before they're gone for good.
Some episodes dig into remarkable, real, documented moments from history. Others feature real conversations with the veterans and athletes willing to sit down and finally answer the questions nobody thought to ask. All of it is built around one simple idea: everyone has a story worth honoring.
If you're looking for a meaningful way to help a veteran or a former athlete in your life tell their own story, the Honor Your Story guided memory journal series, Who Did You Become for veterans and How Good Were You for athletes, is available now at HonorYourStory.org (http://HonorYourStory.org).
Before it's lost, let it be known.
Why This Podcast Exists: The Story Behind Honor Your Story
Welcome to Honor Your Story. In this first episode, Coach Taylor shares the real story behind why this show, and the Honor Your Story journal series, exists at all: his grandfather, one of the best high school football players in his state, nicknamed "the line plunging devil," who was talked out of playing college ball and carried that regret for the rest of his life.
This episode is about why so many veterans' and athletes' stories go untold, not because they don't matter, but because nobody ever asks. It's the story behind Who Did You Become, a memory journal for veterans, and How Good Were You, a memory journal for former athletes, and why every purchase gives back, to the Wounded Warrior Project and Every Kid Sports.
If there's a veteran or a former athlete in your life whose story has never been fully told, this episode is for you.

Your Relationship Has a 90% Chance of Failing — Unless You Know These 4 Fixes
Last episode, we laid out the bad news — the four behaviors that relationship researcher Dr. John Gottman identified as the most reliable predictors of relationship failure.
This episode is the other side of that conversation. Because Gottman didn't just map the problem. He mapped the cure. For every one of the Four Horsemen — criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling — he found a direct antidote. A specific, learnable behavior that the healthiest couples use instinctively, and the rest of us can build deliberately.
In this episode of Mind & Motive, we break down all four: how to raise a concern without attacking the person, why appreciation is more powerful than any argument technique, what taking responsibility actually looks like when you feel wrongly accused, and how to take a break from conflict in a way that brings you back together instead of pushing you further apart.
You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from this episode. These are skills — and the earlier you build them, the stronger your relationships become.

Your Relationship Has a 90% Chance of Failing If You're Doing These 4 Things
What if a researcher could watch you argue for fifteen minutes — and know whether your relationship would survive?
That's exactly what psychologist Dr. John Gottman discovered after studying thousands of couples over four decades.
In this episode of Mind & Motive, we break down his most powerful finding: the Four Horsemen — four specific behaviors (criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling) that silently erode relationships from the inside out.
We'll show you how to tell the difference between a complaint and a criticism, why contempt is the single greatest predictor of divorce, what defensiveness actually communicates to your partner, and what's really happening when someone shuts down mid-argument.
Whether you're in a relationship, preparing for one, or reflecting on a past one — this episode will change how you see conflict forever.
