After the shenanigans of the last year a summer of sanity sounds like heaven to us! On today's episode, Why Tho Hosts Ashley and Tiffany share the conversations that inspire them, the books they're reading, and a summer flow that's working for connection and peace. Friends, no matter the context of your life and relationships, it's always a good time to say goodbye to what's no longer serving you and hello to what is good for the soul so you can continue to become the person you were made to become. You're powerful, and we love you!

How'd She Do That: Activist Taylor Schumann Jul 01, 2021

Show notes

Taylor Schumann didn't set out to become an activist, but after surviving a shooting on a college campus in Virginia, everything changed. Rebuilding her life again, she not only changed her own perspective about guns in America, but sought to help people better understand the issue and make changes to protect people. If you've ever had a "god and guns" conversation with family, or felt furious or frustrated after a mass shooting, or want to see the nuance between the black and white narrative of gun rights, this conversation is for you. Taylor tells her story, shares statistics and offers practical ways forward in her brand new book, "When Thoughts & Prayers Aren’t Enough." We were lucky to receive an early copy and it is powerful. Also, we hear about the best food in Charleston, so get ready to take notes. https://www.taylorschumann.com/books https://twitter.com/taylorsschumann If you're loving the Summer Series, How'd She Do That, take a moment to rate and review the Why Tho Podcast - it helps others find the show!

How'd She Do That: Theologian Kat Armas Jun 17, 2021

Show notes

It's the every day ordinary people in our lives who tend to form our beliefs and convictions at a cellular level. The mothers, aunties, and grandmothers who surround us and our church mothers, ones who love us and raise us. Theologian Kat Armas asks the question: What if some of our greatest theologians wouldn't be considered theologians at all? What if the voices on the margins, those often dismissed, isolated, and oppressed because of their gender, socioeconomic status, or lack of education, have more to teach us about following God than we realize? Enjoy this powerful conversation that will encourage you to see God in you ordinary life and to experience the power of God in the people you might least expect to host his presence.

Dating and Marriage: #GOALS with Joy Eggerichs Reed May 27, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to our annual Relationship Series. Dr. Bruce Perry said, "Relationships are the agents of change and the most powerful therapy is human love." We agree. From friendship to family to marriage to communities we participate in, relationships are the way we survive, thrive, grow, and heal in this world. Honestly, after the year we've lived through, finding new rhythms for growth and healing has felt a little... impossible, maybe? Well, today's guest can help. Joy Eggerichs Reed traveled around the country speaking about single life for years before settling down in France with her husband and two kids while running a literary and speaking agency. (Yes, this sounds like a summer romance novel.) As a single and married person, Joy took time to plan and envision a future she would love, and she shares her practices with the Why Tho community. She's got tried and true methods on this episode that start with asking questions: -What’s confused that needs to be clarified? - What’s missing that needs to be added? - What’s wrong that needs to be fixed? - What’s right that needs to be optimized? - What are we grateful for? Mentioned in this show: Family Calendar the Reed fam swears by: https://punchlineagency.com/punchline-picks Joy's Instagram: www.instagram.com/joyeggerichs E-book for authors and speakers: Get to The Publishing Punchline: A fun (and slightly aggressive) 30 Day Guide to Get Your Book Ready For The World (available June 2021)

Show notes

Welcome to our annual Relationship Series on Why Tho. Dr. Bruce Perry said, "Relationships are the agents of change and the most powerful therapy is human love." We agree. From friendship to family to marriage to communities we participate in, relationships are the way we survive, thrive, grow, and heal in this world. Today's guest says: "I want you to be the scientist of your own life." Nicole Unice, therapist, author, and pastor, joins our conversation today. She offers practical help for the hard conversations you're avoiding (or having badly), laughs about her own struggles, and humanizes our shared experiences in relationships. Nicole also explains the reason we need to listen to our body, that it's telling us a story about what we need. Through integrating mind, body and soul, we become whole. You'll love this interview!

Dating and Marriage: Sex and Intimacy with Dr. Juli Slattery May 13, 2021

Show notes

Welcome to our annual Relationship Series and these next few episodes center on dating and married relationships. Dr. Bruce Perry said, "Relationships are the agents of change and the most powerful therapy is human love." We agree. From friendship to family to marriage to communities we participate in, relationships are the way we survive, thrive, grow and heal. Today's guest is a therapist, author, and host of the show Authentic Intimacy. Dr. Juli Slattery offers people and couples an invitation to healthy connection, desire and sexuality. Too many of us deny our desires, feel guilty about pleasure and stay stuck when it comes to vulnerability and intimacy. She's helping us reintegrate into being a sexual person and recapture the goodness of sexual desire. We talk about the difference between legalism and license, and how to find the space in between. There is a wealth of wisdom in this episode, so buckle up and share this too often ignored, or poorly taught, subject with a friend!
