We talk about good ways to communicate often but I feel like we don't give enough focus to listening. Being a good listener is not commonly a natural trait one has. We tend to be natural talkers, not listeners. So I give you 3 things to think about when you are listening to someone. I also share with you a TED Talk that is awesome. It is by Celeste Headlee and is called 10 Ways to Have Better Conversation.

This is a must listen to ladies! Jennifer continues our conversation and we spend this entire podcast talking about intimacy in marriage. Why it is important. Why women have the capability of having a deeper, greater capacity to feel pleasure than men. A whole woman is integrated with her sexuality, what does this mean and what does it look like? Husband and wife are equals who have the capacity to enrich one another's lives. Sex is choice, treat it with care. We need to be more open about teaching healthy sexuality. How to get past the embarrassment of feeling equal in the realm of intimacy. The best part of life! A rich source of freedom and joy. I learned so much from visiting with her. She is amazing and has such powerful insights. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trina-glines/support

In my quest to want to be a Whole Woman, I found that Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife teachings really resonated with me.

It was such a pleasure to interview Shaunti Feldhahn. I hope you will enjoy learning from her as much as I did! When I discovered her book For Women Only, I found a treasure. Every woman needs to read this book! Her research is phenomenal. And as she put it, "it isn't rocket science" but it is often an area we don't talk about enough; the differences between men and women. Ladies, empower yourself-listen to this podcast and consider doing the exercise she shares at the end. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trina-glines/support

This is part 2 of my interview with Jeff Ford, LMFT. He shares with us what some women do wrong that causes men to seek acceptance elsewhere. We discuss the natural DNA of a man and then Jeff dives into pornography and the challenge it is for men. He steps us through the process of how to help a husband who views pornography as well as how a wife can find help for her. We end with how we as wives can encourage our husbands to be our Knights in Shining Armor. I learned so much from Jeff and appreciate the work he does. I don't claim this interview has all the answers for pornography struggles in a marriage but I do believe it is a good base to start from.

This interview with Jeff Ford changed me as a mom of 4 son's. It empowered me to be an advocate for my son's and my husband. Jeff talks to us about how the world is emasculating men and how it affects them. We discuss boys and their true DNA and bullying at school. Jeff educates us about ADHD and ADD, and how schools do population control. I had never learned about this before! We also discuss the importance of boys and men - being boys and men. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trina-glines/support

First, we should never wait for our marriage to start struggling before we start to work on it! And I don't believe we can afford to just wing it anymore. Most of us weren't taught all we needed to know when we said yes to this union. We need tools and skills to maneuver through this messy thing called marriage and life. It is really quite amazing how simple new knowledge can enhance our lives. It doesn't take that much time, but it does take us choosing to be intentional. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trina-glines/support

I had the privilege to interview Joree Rose LMFT, mindful educator, author, and speaker about the power of mindfulness in our daily lives, relationships and families. She has so many insights and takeaways you can start using right away to create mindfulness in your life. Learn the ABCs of mindfulness "Awareness", "Breath", and "Choice". She teaches mindfulness is the practice of living your life with greater awareness, attention, and intention. It is a practice in which we can become centered in each present moment, anchored in your breath and body, and respond with curiosity to whatever is arising. When practicing mindfulness, we also cultivate gratitude, compassion, and loving-kindness towards ourselves and others, allowing us to go through life with a greater understanding of how to live authentically and in alignment with our intentions.

Geoff Steurer is trained in EFT couples therapy. (Emotional Focused Therapy) This therapy is based on Dr. Sue Johnson's research. Every individual has their own attachment style which is influenced by their upbringing. Geoff gives a short explanation of these attachments styles, but then we move right into how we can choose to create a secure bond with our spouse. A secure attachment style is ideal. And if we do not have a secure attachment style we can actually work towards it. We do not have to be a victim of our blueprints! We can learn an emotionally healthier way of being which will help us become more secure! A secure bond is based on the answer to this question, "Are you there for me?". The answer must be yes to have a secure bond. Geoff explains the details of this and more!

I continue my conversation with Laura M. Brotherson LMFT, CST, on intimacy in marriage. I am so grateful for her work. Our conversation is very open and is not meant for younger ears. Laura talks about that marriage is all about self-development. None of us were taught everything we needed to know to have a successful marriage. Intimacy is part of that development. We also discuss the importance of educating our children and our young adults who are getting married. Let's teach our kids and young adults in a way that we are setting them up for success! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trina-glines/support

I learned so much from interviewing Laura M. Brotherson LMFT, CST. I love her energy and determination to educate women about intimacy in marriage and the importance of embracing our sexual being. We have a very candid conversation that may not be meant for younger ears. Sex is a big part of marriage, and rarely are we set up for success. I am so grateful for the work Laura has done, I know she continues to bless the lives of women everywhere. I hope you too find this information helpful! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trina-glines/support

Sexual intimacy is a big part of marriage, but very few of us are set up for success in this area. We often struggle to talk about the positive aspects of sex. Did you know that we all are sexual beings? This is not a negative or bad thing. But because society has perverted what sex really is, we struggle to find a healthy balance. It is imperative for women to learn and understand that they are a sexual being and God made them that way. We are meant as husband and wife to enjoy intimacy within the bonds of marriage. But in order to do this we need to be connected to our sexual being. This week I discuss the importance of connecting to our sexual being in preparation of sharing my interview with Laura M. Brothers, LMFT Sex Therapist, the next two weeks. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trina-glines/support

I was interested in Crystal's story when I heard as she worked her way up in the cooperate world, she started out thinking she needed to be someone other than her authentic self. Being in the banking world she felt she needed to come across more masculine in her dress and interactions. As she progressed in her career and became a mom she recognized the power in being true to herself. I believe this is a powerful lesson for women to learn. I do connect it to the feminine power we have within ourselves. It is nothing to be ashamed of or hide. The world needs amazing women! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trina-glines/support

Why should women be connected to their feminine side? Dr. Slade talks to us about the importance of us being connected to our femininity. I have walked my own journey with connecting to my feminine side and have learned the power we have within ourselves as women when we do. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/trina-glines/support
