In this episode, Steve and Kenya continue their exploration of Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) by diving into its complex and multifaceted causes. PAS is a phenomenon that can occur in various family dynamics, and its causes are not limited to a single factor.

In this episode, Steve and Kenya delve into the often-overlooked topic of Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS), a phenomenon that has a profound impact on children. Steve,  who has personally experienced the effects of PAS, shares his own story and insights on how this syndrome can wreak havoc on children's lives. What is often overlooked is that PAS can have a transgenerational impact, affecting not just the children but also future generations. When children are alienated from one parent, they may struggle to form healthy attachments with their own partners and children in the future, perpetuating a cycle of trauma. The hosts emphasize that PAS is not about the warring parents, but about giving children the gift of having both parents who love and accept them. They encourage listeners to take action and support families affected by PAS, and promote a culture that values healthy relationships and empowers parents to prioritize their children's well-being.  **Don't miss another episode and subscribe to future podcasts on one of our many platforms, including Podbean, YouTube, iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and many others!

Does It Matter?

In today's podcast, Steve and Kenya continue discussing the art of listening with part two of their series. They explore how changing the ingredients can result in a different product. They pose the question: what if we make assumptions without genuinely listening? Could our perceived problems stem from our interpretation of the situation rather than the problem itself? They delve into whether it's possible to respect one another without compromising on truth and maintain self-respect without losing our sense of value. Does it matter? The hosts also address the notion of problem-solving and ponder if forcing opinions onto a situation is truly effective or if acceptance is a better approach. They also question if erasing history in an attempt to control the situation leads to a genuine resolution or merely creates more issues.

Tuesday Apr 02, 2024

Tuesday Apr 02, 2024

In the latest podcast episode, Steve and Kenya tackle the topic of fear. They emphasize that fear is not the enemy and will always be present. The question is whether we can be mindful and intentional in allowing fear to guide our lives.

Feeling stuck emerges from the fear of failure or rejection, hindering us from stepping out of our comfort zones to pursue growth opportunities. Are you operating in survival mode, preventing you from living life to the fullest? Remember, you can choose your emotions and feelings without being influenced by external factors.

The Resistance

Tuesday Mar 12, 2024

Tuesday Mar 12, 2024

Steve and Kenya discuss grappling with resistance during life transitions on today's podcast. Have you felt yourself veering away from your life's vision due to resistance and embracing the mistaken notion that maintaining the status quo is preferable? While physical appearance may show signs of change, are we consciously resisting this change? Social media and advertising often encourage resistance, enticing individuals to remain stagnant. Resisting change acts as a metaphorical hook that keeps us from progressing. It offers a false sense of security, akin to a fish caught on a hook. Is resisting change truly fulfilling, or does it merely provide temporary comfort and emotional safety?

In leadership, growth often lies outside of our comfort zones. Are you too comfortable and stuck in a routine, or will you challenge yourself and embrace change to foster personal development? Who determines your present identity rather than your past? Are you confined by the labels that others have placed upon you?

Culture of Love

Tuesday Feb 20, 2024

Tuesday Feb 20, 2024

In today's podcast, Steve and Kenya delve into the theme of the culture of love. They raise an important question about the intentionality of dating one's spouse weekly within a marriage. This practice reflects the value placed on the relationship and how one views oneself, as behaviors in a relationship often reveal inner truths. Despite the potential for hurt in relationships, individuals can choose whether their hearts remain open or closed. The energy invested in relationships can be reflected in others' reactions and responses. As a form of controlling behavior, ghosting prevents individuals from living authentically. The key lies in being genuine and setting healthy boundaries to nurture love in one's life. -- Discover more by clicking on "Learn More" or subscribing to one of the many platforms we offer, including Podbean, YouTube, iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and many others!
