Learning how to live in the present moment by confronting our own misplaced expectations in real time. We will dive deep into what a Christ centered biblical recovery process looks like.
Co-parenting after divorce can be incredibly difficult—especially when communication turns into conflict and every interaction feels heavier than it should.

In this episode of You Would Think, I break down the difference between co-parenting and parallel parenting and why parallel parenting may be the healthier option when cooperation simply isn’t possible right now.
We talk about making communication more informative instead of interactive, setting boundaries, refusing unnecessary conflict, and learning that not every accusation deserves a response.
We also look at Romans 12:18, Matthew 5:9, and Proverbs 4:23 as a framework for peace, acceptance, self-control, and guarding your heart.
Most importantly, this is about the example we give our kids. They need stability, consistency, and a parent who chooses truth over control.
Co-parenting requires cooperation. Parallel parenting requires boundaries.

You don’t have to be an addict to need recovery.
In this special episode of You Would Think, my friend, mentor, and coach Chris Ward takes over the microphone to interview me about my recovery story and the message behind my new book.
We talk about what kept me stuck in addiction for more than 20 years, the illusion of control, why accountability matters, supporting vs. enabling, and why you will never be able to recover alone.
More than anything, this book is an invitation to stop looking through a window at what everyone else needs to change—and start looking in the mirror.
Am I sure about that… or am I just sure of myself?
Recovery is a process, not an event. If you feel too far gone, you don't have to change your entire life today. Just take one step.

When Keeping the Peace Protects the Problem
Sometimes the most protected person in a dysfunctional family is the person doing the most damage.
Why? Because confronting them is expensive.
In this episode of When Helping Hurts, I talk about the difference between being a peacemaker and simply keeping the peace. We’ll look at how codependency, people pleasing, fear, and dysfunctional family patterns can cause us to accommodate unhealthy behavior just to avoid conflict.
Sometimes the healthiest person gets confronted simply because they’re the safest person to confront. And sometimes what we call “keeping the peace” is actually keeping dysfunction comfortable.
We’ll talk about boundaries, enabling, family dynamics, emotional regulation, biblical peacemaking, and what Romans 12:18 teaches us about our responsibility for peace.
If everyone has to organize themselves around one person to prevent an explosion, that isn’t peace.
