Why Is Naming My Feelings so Frickin' Hard?!

In this episode, we share a big life update—our family just moved from Idaho back to California! From surfing with our kids to podcasting at our parent's dining room table, we're in a season of transition, and we're bringing you along for the ride!But what we really dive into today is something we see every week in our recovery course and in our own lives: how identifying your feelings can change everything. We talk about how triggers aren't just annoying—they're clues to what’s happening inside us. We share stories of past tantrums (hello, crumpled water bottle), how we’re helping our kids name their emotions, and why saying “I’m fine” blocks the intimacy we were made for.If you’ve ever struggled to know what you're feeling—or to communicate it in a way that creates connection—you’re not alone. And if you want our custom Feelings Words List, just shoot us a message and we’ll send it your way. Thanks for listening! We hope this episode brings perspective, and hope right where you are!InstagramGive to empower more marriages and families to experience hope and the tools.
