Marriage as a Path to Healing & Growth | Dan Allender (EP22)

Joining me for her second appearance on the show is Dr. Tracy Dalgleish. In this episode, we explore the concept of keeping score in relationships and the mental load that women often carry. We also discuss the need for open communication, conflict resolution, and the importance of connection in relationships. Is this something you struggle with in your own marriage? Or perhaps this information could be helpful as you support a friend in your life. Either way, you’ll walk away with tips to implement right away! ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Diane's Resource: Minimalist Moms Storefront EP294: I Didn't Sign Up for This: Exploring Real Couples Therapy Book: Fair Play by Eve Rodsky Book: The Dance of Anger by Harriet Lerner Connect with Tracy: Instagram Website Book: I Didn't Sign Up For This Enjoy this Podcast?

"Feeling good starts with food. When you eat in a way that nourishes your body, you don’t experience cravings and you don’t feel hungry, restricted, or deprived. You feel satisfied and energized. You begin to crave the food that makes you feel good. As you begin to feel better from the inside, your mind becomes clearer. You start to feel hope, and that feeling of hope opens up all kinds of possibilities for your health and your life." - Cara Clark Joining me today is renowned nutritionist and wellness educator, Cara Clark. From advising A-list celebrities to guiding Olympic athletes, Cara has helped her clients feel better in their bodies by moving away from “dieting” and instead understanding the connection between what we eat and how we feel. In this episode, we dive into various topics such as limiting information consumption, regulating blood sugar, navigating indulgences (while maintaining self-awareness), understanding disordered eating, embracing movement that resonates with you, and much more. ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Can't Stop Talking About: Castor Oil Compress Connect with Cara: Instagram Website Enjoy this Podcast?
