Shame is becoming popular… in a good way. More than ever, both Christian and secular voices are calling out the messages that tell us that we’re not enough.  In this episode, Juli and her guest talk about what shame is and how it impacts you and your relationships. Do you fight, flight or freeze when you feel shame? Do you know the key to diffusing shame in others? Plus, Dr. Debi Grebenik and Juli answer YOUR email questions. Join us for bold truth & rich conversation at the coffee shop!

There’s no such thing as instant intimacy. Love at first sight? Perhaps. But intimacy is something else entirely.  It takes years to fully know and accept the person you’re married to. In this episode, Juli and her guest dive into why healthy conflict is one of the best ways to build intimacy with your spouse.

Sarah got married believing that absolute submission to her husband would glorify God; making Him, her and her man happy. Only, she wasn't happy. Neither was her husband, really. In this episode, Juli and her guests talk about what can happen when we misunderstand what the Bible says about our roles as men and women in marriage.

A betrayed spouse often feels as much (or more) shame as their partner.
