Ep. 84: Safe Love, Strong Kids & Ayesha Curry: What Real Security Looks Like

This week, we’re unpacking love, growth, and grace; from how we build safety in marriage, to how we nurture our children’s strengths, to how we respond to public opinions about other people’s relationships.

💞 Forever Segment — Safe Love: Building Security in Your Marriage

What makes love feel safe? We explore attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, and fearful avoidant) and discuss how understanding your own can help you build deeper trust and connection in your relationship.

🌱 Roots & Bloom Segment — Grow What’s Strong: Strengths-Based Parenting

Instead of focusing on what kids can’t do, what if we built around what they do well? We dive into the power of strengths-based parenting, how to balance encouragement with accountability, and ways to help kids thrive by leading with their gifts.

💬 Lifestyle Segment — Ayesha Curry vs. The Internet

Did Ayesha really say anything wrong? We break down the social-media outrage, explore why people are so invested in other people’s marriages, and talk about what this says about our culture, comparison, and public vulnerability.

Today we’ll be touching on:

• Do Animals Speak Different Languages?
• Prison Breaks (How Often Do They Happen?)
• Safe Love: Building Security In Your Marriage
• Grow What's Strong: Strengths Based Parenting
• Ayesha Curry Vs. The Internet
