In today’s episode, I sit down with Marc Cameron, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, to explore one of the most influential (and often overlooked) elements of our emotional lives: attachment styles. Drawing from more than 80 years of research, Marc breaks down how our earliest experiences with our families shape the way we connect, communicate, handle conflict, and relate to the people closest to us well into adulthood.
This episode offers a compassionate and scientifically grounded roadmap for understanding yourself and the people you love. Whether you identify as avoidant, anxious, vacillating, disorganized, or relatively secure, you'll walk away with clarity, validation, and practical tools for building healthier patterns of connection. Here is some of what we cover:
  • Why attachment styles are not personality traits, but relational survival strategies formed early in life
  • Why “secure” doesn’t mean perfect; it means the relationship feels predictable and safe most of the time
  • How attachment ruptures can be healed in adulthood through awareness and practice
  • Why the holidays amplify attachment triggers—family roles, old wounds and unresolved expectations
  • How to move toward secure attachment by learning emotional language, practicing repair, and using the comfort circle

Previous Episode

In this episode, I sit down with bestselling author and investigative journalist Lee Strobel to explore some of the most profound questions of faith: Are miracles real? What evidence supports the Christmas story? What are angels like?
Lee was famously an atheist, and when his wife came to faith in Christ, he set out to prove her wrong. In the end, he discovered that the evidence for Jesus was too substantial to ignore and he became a Christian. Since then, he has helped countless people wrestle with life’s biggest questions: Is God real? How do we navigate a spiritually mismatched marriage? How can we help our kids understand the evidence that Jesus came, died, and rose again?
Now, he has a new movie coming out called The Case for Miracles, bringing the supernatural to life in a powerful and compelling way. In this interview, we explore:
  • Documented cases of divine healing
  • Spiritual Mismatch in marriage and how to have hope
  • The evidence surrounding Christmas and the incarnation
  • Do angels exist? Do we have guardian angels? What Scripture and research reveal
  • How God is using miracles and dreams around the world to draw people to Him

Next Episode

In this episode, author, podcaster, and speaker Mary DeMuth returns to share the inspiration behind her latest work, which spotlights overwhelmed women in the Bible—women whose stories have often been minimized or overlooked. From Mary the mother of Jesus to Hagar to the widow with two mites, these women model faith, resilience, and wholehearted trust in God.
We talk about how Christmas can be both beautiful and heavy. Mary opens up about her own seasons of overwhelm, from her water breaking on Christmas Eve to sleeping in a barn the week before Christmas. She reminds us that Mary, the mother of Jesus, lived through the deepest fears a mother can face, yet she remained faithful as a disciple. Here is some of what we cover:
  • Why Christmas often heightens grief, trauma, and unmet longings
  • The consumerism of the holiday season vs. the simplicity of God with us
  • What Shalom really means: wholehearted, whole-bodied peace rooted in surrender
  • Jesus’ care for the overlooked, the aging, and the marginalized
  • The definition of “Whelm” which refers to out-of-control stress, “overwhelmed” is that same stress amplified beyond capacity
