Welcome to the first episode of Season 9 where we discuss the season theme: The Hero's Journey.
In this episode, we dive into the idea of āThe Call to Adventureāāthat first, often unexpected moment when we feel pulled toward change or transformation. Inspired by Joseph Campbellās concept of the heroās journey, this episode explores how embracing the call to adventure can set us on a powerful path of personal growth. From understanding what "the call" feels like to recognizing it in our own lives, weāll cover how to start moving forward even when fear and doubt get in the way. Get ready to start your journey by exploring what it means to accept the call and take the first steps toward a life of purpose, fulfillment, and growth.
Key Questions to Reflect On:
What ācall to adventureā have you felt in your own life? Was it an invitation to explore a new career path, a personal transformation, or a difficult decision?Who or what has acted as a mentor or guide in your life when you were faced with new challenges?Have you ever felt resistance to change? What held you back, and how did you respond?Everyone faces a call to adventure, whether itās a career opportunity, a chance to grow personally, or a new direction in life. Embracing the call can lead to profound transformation. When we acknowledge the fear and uncertainty, we make space for courage to step in, leading us toward a more fulfilling path.
Connect with Me: Stay tuned for more episodes as we explore the stages of the heroās journey and apply them to real-life growth and leadership. Donāt forget to subscribe, rate, and review the show, and share it with someone who might need a nudge toward their own adventure!

After hearing concerns on social media of Matt and I practicing yoga and prayerful meditation, I knew it was time to invite my dear friend Amber Mattingly, DMin to the podcast to share her story. This is a faith-based episode that addresses the biggest fears and questions around these practices.
Amber began yoga when her son was newly diagnosed with autism. She was overwhelmed, frightened for his future, worried about her marriage, and frustrated at life. At the height of this experience, she stopped sleeping for a whole year. She was not the youthful mom coming to yoga to learn handstands and complicated poses. Instead, she was the young mom barely able to make it through the day who ended up spending most of the time crying on her mat.
For her, yoga is a tool that reconnected her with her true self, strengthened connection with something greater than myself, and built relationships based on humility, compassion & radical amazement!
Amber met Pema while pursuing her Doctor of Ministry degree in Compassion based Leadership and they wondered what might happen if people from different faith traditions shared a prayer/meditation practice. Would they grow spiritually together while deepening their connection to their own faith tradition? This curiosity lead them to develop a study that included Buddhist and Christian practitioners. What we found were some hidden treasures!

The military lifestyle's stress is hard enough on marriage, but what happens when you add a medical diagnosis? A child in need of extra care? In this episode, we explore Aaron and Monica Harding's story of finding help for their son, themselves, and their marriage.
The Harding's son Jackson (17) was diagnosed with SynGAP in 2015, at age 10. Today, with children aged 24, 21 and 17, his wife, Monica, is now just learning how to take time away. And, according to Aaron, āthatās only because we started family therapy ~2 years ago.ā
Children living with SynGAP live with symptoms that include: autism / intellectual disabilities / sleep issues / behavior issues / seizures (sometimes a hundred a day) / delayed fine motor and language skills.
Today, there is no cure, only medications that treat individual symptoms. Each case is different and brings its own unique challenges. For families like the Sandersons and the Hardings, those challenges are even more acute as they navigate the complexities of military life.

Subscribe to the Military Culture Shift Podcast NOW!
In this episode, I talk about the power of choosing hard things and the character development that comes from the process. We are so used to only choosing activities that we will feel successful at. After a while, we are siloed into a lifestyle and career where we believe the lie that we have to be successful at whatever we put our mind to. Instead, think about what brings you joy, or what used to bring you joy, and consider valuing yourself enough to go back to it and give it a chance.
At 44, I picked up the cello after loving the sound of it my whole life. I had no idea just how much I was going to have to face some things in my life that have long needed to be addressed. Listen in as we talk about how to choose what your "hard thing" will be, what sabotages us from trying, how to develop the grit to persevere through discouragement and obstacles, and how it translates to our personal wellness and leadership in and out of the home.
Mentioned in this episode:
Angela Duckworth: Grit: The Power of Passion & Perseverance and her TedTalk.

Listen in for how a strengths-based approach changes the way we view our relationships, work, and even our perception of ourselves. After over a decade of helping individuals, leaders, and couples discover what their talents are, it has been incredible to watch marriages heal from miscommunication, differences, and betrayal, helping individuals heal through loss, and find joy in doing what they are exceptionally talented at. Whether you are a leader looking for a new tool that increases communication and productivity or looking to change the patterns of communication in your home, the strengths approach helps you work with what you already do well and use that to address what you aren't good at. It also sets you free from being all things to all people, and lets you just be you.

Why is it so hard to apologize? These two words, "I'm Sorry", seem to throw off children and adults every time, catapulting people into further conflict. In this episode, we wrap up the marriage and intimacy series and introduce the leadership series by going back to the basics of conflict resolution and the dreaded apology.
We will cover:
1) The common responses of defensiveness that come up when we ask another person to change or address our hurt.
2) Whether intentions matter.
3). How to accept imperfection in ourselves and others while still asking for change, and
3) The critical importance and goal of learning how to repair conflict faster.

On the Season 8 opener, we are talking all about how to recognize if we are managing our relationships to our own personal detriment. You may think you are helping, but what if you are only hurting yourself by walking on eggshells and not being fully honest or congruent with yourself? Weāre diving in quickly on this season opener!
Mentioned in this episode:
Squared Away We exist to make work better by letting you focus solely on what matters. We are your trusted assistants. This entire journey started because Michelle, our CEO & Co-founder couldnāt get a job due to her being a military spouse. Constantly changing bases meant being in a different city at a momentās notice. Everywhere she went, she met others with the same story. Highly educated, ready to work, struggling to find a job. Military spouses.

Season 7 might be over, but we are bringing back the Top 10 most listened-to episodes in Lifegiver Podcast History!
Matt joins me again for another episode where we talk about the impact of Family Readiness on marriage. For decades, the military has told families that their support makes the mission successful. Unfortunately, families are getting tired and are wondering at what cost. In this episode, Matt and I have an honest conversation on how families indeed play a pay in mission readiness but also how we can change our perspective to a more influential one that can change the trajectory of our entire family.

Season 7 might be over, but we are bringing back the Top 10 most listened-to episodes in Lifegiver Podcast History!
We often hear from couples that the service lifestyle has made my spouse "cold, calculated, and harsh." While this may be a nature versus nurture debate, the service lifestyle can definitely train a person to see the world differently. In this episode, Corie and Matt talk about how this doesn't have to create more conflict in your marriage- in fact it can be a strength you lean on!
Matt shares how growing up in a first responder home shaped him into the man he is today and how to understand the internal emotional world of warriors- in our community and military. Join us in a fun and moving discussion on how you can embrace who you are as well as how life has shaped you and become a stronger team together.
*** SPOILER ALERT- We talk about Avengers: Endgame in this episode, so please hold off on listening until you have seen it!
