In a world that has jaded and obscure expectations and ideas about romance, intimacy, sex, and relationships, we wanted to break down what studies and research say about desire between married couples. Joining us again is Shaunti Feldhahn who has recently released her book, co-authored with Dr. Michael Sytsma, titled "Secrets of Sex & Marriage". Shaunti takes us through the deep heart cries of many couples from "how much sex should we be having?" to "why won't my partner initiate sex and intimacy?" to the overwhelmingly honest "am I alone in this?"
Tune in next week to hear from Dr. Michael Sytsma, a licensed professional counselor, certified sex therapist, ordained minister, professor, and national speaker.

Social media like Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, and even LinkedIn have a seduction power that pulls our wandering minds in with ease. Platforms that have been curated specifically to spike dopamine have gripped generations into a zombie-like apporach to "life" (or a lack thereof). This week we have Shadi Awad share insights into the history of some silicon valley big-names, and how he took a significant break from social media as an experiment. The results are quite significant. We know it's not easy, but would you consider taking a social media break for an extended period of time just to see what would happen? Odds are you may get your life back to some degree. Maybe you'll encounter peace and a settling of your soul. Wouldn't you say that's worth the risk of NOT keeping up with the Kardashians for a few weeks?
Let us know if you do a media/tech pause and we'll share your results on our platforms!
Shadi Awad: Shadi is a Palestinian Christian born in Doha, Qatar, with family roots in Jerusalem and Bethlehem. His family immigrated to Toronto, Canada, in 1987, where Shadi spent a large portion of his growing-up years. Shadi moved to Dallas, Texas, in 2004 to complete his studies. He holds an MBA from Texas A&M Commerce. In 2007, he married his wife, Angela Awad. They are currently living in Cedar Hill, Texas, with their 5 beautiful children, Ephraim, Eliana, Olive, Nouri, and Charis.
Shadi Awad is also the CEO & Co-Founder of Technagy IT, an IT Management & Cybersecurity Company based out of Arlington, Texas. Technagy IT is focused on providing small businesses with strategic IT management & support designed to bring peace of mind around business continuity and external and internal cyber threats. Shadi has been in the technology space for more than 15 years. Two of Shadis passions are bringing life to the integration of faith and work and actively engaging in the blockchain industry and investing in cryptocurrency projects since 2017.

When asking "how do I start my health journey?", a myriad of answers flood our minds, feeds, and Google searches: fitness, nutrition, movement, liver support, supplements, tinctures, gurus, weight loss, heart health, and on, and on. Such an honest question is smacked with a freight train of information that can leave us dazed and confused. We don't want you to leave more confused than you showed up to this episode, so we've invited the brilliant Tosh James to set the record straight on "wellness" and how to approach it.

Ruminating, over thinking, over analyzing, and going in thought circles are all symptoms of something deeper. When we notice we are ruminating or in an over thinking thought pattern, we in the #unlockucommunity say that now it's time to get CURIOUS. What started this spiral? When have I felt this before? Recognize that what you're experiencing is 100% valid AND needs to be addressed with our frontal lobe thinking (as opposed to reactionary I-have-25-tabs-open-in-the-background-and-am-overloaded thinking).

It's no secret that relationships are important. They are the binding agent that sets us up for success in life and contribute to longevity, too! Often we want a "one size fits all" approach to relationships to apply across the board and make it all make sense in a neat step-by-step process. While there are amazing tools and processes out there, we understand that relationships are complex, unique, and come with their own histories, traumas, and perspectives.
This week we are leaning in to the most frequently asked questions, maybe some controversial hot topics, but all with the goal to provide avenues that guide us toward a healthy soul.

Once registered, we will send you a 10-minute parent tip every day for 15 days.
