Today we are talking about what each of us brings in terms of worldview to our marriage via our Enneagram type. We are also going through an exercise that gives you briefly a chance to move toward one another when you hit a roadblock in achieving your goals together.

Love on the Brain: Brain Boosting Hacks w/ Dr. Krissy Thomas, Ph.D May 22, 2023

Show notes

Did you feel different when you fell in love? Love does indeed change our brains, and wonderfully, love can even support us with emotional bonding. However, the intensity of love can also have negative effects on the activity within the brain.

Today on the podcast, we demystify the brain and practically hack our way through the best ways we can allow our thinking and activities to support us in our goals together!

Join Christa with an exclusive look at how to boost your brain with healthy hacks as we sit at the feet of neuroscientist Dr. Krissy Thomas, Ph.D, Enneagram Three. It's a powerful and fun episode as we dissect the very best ways to boost your joy and life together!

Learn the hacks around:

Why & how crying releases endorphins as stress is released
The sympathetic & parasympathetic nervous process
Dopamine (our feel-good brain chemical)
Serotonin (a mood-boosting brain chemical)
Oxytocin (a relationship, "love chemical")
Endorphins (natural pain relievers for relieving mood)
Mirror neurons and how we can help each other
Sleep and its housekeeping role for our life and marriage
And SO much more!

Setting New Parenting Goals As We Resist Toxic Teaching with Sheila Wray Gregoire, Enneagram 8w7 May 08, 2023

Show notes

This week of Mother's Day, we work together on parenting goals as we look at the absolute best and worst researched-based practices with teens as they will influence marriage and sexual relationships with Sheila Wray Gregoire, Enneagram 8w7. We take both a microscopic and wide lens view of generational practices around sexual and faith norms across generations. From prior to Gen X to purity culture to now, there's still work to do around healthy teaching and training and we have the best tips for you!

Specifically, Christa invites expert Sheila Wray Gregoire of Bare Marriage to help us navigate:

What parenting research is tied to marriage health and healthy marriages

What teaching a girl about her period and healthy sex ed can do for healthy adulting

What internalized masochism does to their future mental health, finding voice, and the belief that women talk more than men

Why Gen X had better sex-ed than Millenials and why purity culture came in to roost after Gen X
