We highly recommend these life changing courses from the Hills.
We are excited to have Dr. Glenn & Phyllis Hill back on the podcast to talk about Sex! The Hills are the creators of the Connection Codes which has changed thousands of lives in helping couples and individuals alike understand how they are wired (coded) to connect with others through the processing and sharing of emotion. Jenna and I have been specifically impacted by their teaching and guidance as it has come to influence just about everything in our lives.
In this episode, we talk about Valentine's Day coming up in a few weeks and how much pressure and expectation can be put on this day especially for couples around the area of sex and romance.
Our sexual connection as married couples can be rife with hurt, sadness, fear or shame. If that feels true for you, notice how each of those are core emotions. If they are felt, they need to be processed with your partner in order to create connection and mend disconnection. In this episode, we dive into what that looks like and the benefits of processing sexual emotion in your relationship.

The Obstacles & Practice of Vulnerability w/ Aaron & Jenna Jan 16, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, Jenna and Aaron take some time to define vulnerability and talk about what it looks like to practice vulnerability in relationships. Vulnerability is the act of revealing your internal world to another person, giving them access to affect you. This act is inherently risky but it is the only way to invite safety into the relationship. They also dive into the common obstacles to practicing vulnerability.

I can be in pain & no one is to blame w/ Jenna & Aaron Dec 13, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, Aaron shares a recent experience of some painful emotions piling up and that even though other people, like Jenna, were part of the triggers, none of them were to blame. Furthermore, the fact that Aaron had some irrational beliefs were no reason to shut down what he was feeling. Some key points from this processing were:

We can be in pain and no one is to blame
Your emotions don't have to be rational to be valid. They just need to be felt
The best way to address painful emotions is to process them with others

Lastly, Aaron & Jenna discuss the upcoming Christmas holiday and how to prepare yourself emotionally and mentally to be full of intentionality when you are with family, having more downtime and just outside of your normal routine.

The Gift of Heartbreak: how a brand new life can come from the devastation of an affair w/ Gabriel & Debbie Mayes Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

Our friends, Gabriel and Debbie Mayes of themayesteam, join us to talk about how they went from being pastors and living in a 5000 sq ft house, to living in a 250 sq ft converted school bus as a family of 6, after Gabriel had had an affair. The beauty of God's redemption is how this devastating event caused both Gabe and Debbie to pursue their own healing and find new life for themselves and eventually a brand new marriage that they never knew was possible, even and especially while living on the school bus.

No Bad Parts: getting to know our internal protectors w/ Aaron & Jenna Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, we talk about what we've learned from Internal Family Systems (a therapeutic modality created by Dr Richard Schwartz) and the value it's brought in allowing us to bring compassion and curiosity instead of contempt to the parts of us that have damaging or unhelpful behavior. If we can learn to do this for ourselves, we will actually have compassion and curiosity for our spouse instead of leaning towards contempt when we feel hurt by them.
