🚨New Episode Alert!🚨
Is it possible for psychology and spirituality to coexist? The lines blur when a person seeks spiritual support; which often looks like counselling. Evan shares his perspective on navigating this boundary, as a Pastor.

This conversation spurs some of our reflections about the pandemic. It goes without saying, life has been challenging. We explore a daring idea: could positivity and hope come from our pandemic experiences?

We close this episode with Christin and Evan’s inspiring and surprising story of growing and establishing their family in the face of fertility struggles and the adoption process.

Today is .

This pandemic experience has challenged us all in new ways, and for most of us, has brought to light many mental health concerns that continue to test us on a daily basis.

As always, we remind and encourage you to keep it simple.

Take some time to reflect and check-in on your mental health, do something for yourself, and reach out to someone for a coffee chat.

No matter what you’re facing, there’s always an ear that will listen.

Let's talk about expectations and needs in relationships. 😄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s important to have needs, and expectations are part of a relationship. We want the relationship to grow and change. We want to set goals for what we want in a relationship and part of that is identifying our own needs and also identifying some expectations that we have of a partner or hopes that we have in a partner when we start a relationship.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Needs and expectations in relationships are both important to discuss. If you're looking for a starting point, tune-in to one of our earlier episodes - Relationships: Expectations and Needs Part 1, at the link.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you've dealt with infertility and loss, you know that it's a highly emotional place to be. In combination with all those emotions, we know that there’s also a physical toll that comes along with it. You’re going to be exhausted, you’re going to be feeling like you can’t be productive, you can’t concentrate, you’re going to be distracted, you may be quick to anger and quick to frustration. Your body is going to find a way to compensate and start to shut down on you in certain ways. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you or someone you know is experiencing this now, be sure to listen to our episode, Don't Suffer in Silence: Infertility and Loss.

Did you have the chance to listen to our Breaking the Stigma episode with Bryce and Dave? We talked about mental health in the corporate world and creating a supportive culture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We also talked about how typically, when people seek help for their mental health, it's when things are going really, really bad. It’s very rare that somebody will reach out and say, "I need some help," when things are going well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We encourage people to talk and seek support even when things are going well. Its usually the right time to reach out. Wondering why this is the case? Listen to this episode at the link below:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
