How Can I Set Better Goals?

It's no secret that men don't often like talking about their mental (and often physical) health. If a man in your life - your husband, partner, father or brother - is struggling with their mental health, what are some ways we can help?

In this episode, Sandy will unpack ways that we can help our men get the help they need.

Some of the issues discussed include:
The generational curse of men not wanting to talk about emotions.
The different ways men and women process emotions.
Finding "feeling" words, and watching out for "you" statements.
Setting a time each day to talk about how he's feeling.
Presenting therapy in a loving way.
Building in the Spirit, and praying over your husband.

Contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636.

How Can We Help Men Struggling With Mental Health?

No matter what our relationship to others, if there's a relationship or a connection, at some point there will be conflict.  In this episode, Sandy discusses what to do when we experience those inevitable relationship ruptures.

Some of the issues discussed include:
Conflict in relationship is normal.
It's impossible to be in harmony with everyone all of the time.
What to do when ruptures appear?
Taking ownership, and who owns which part of the conflict.
Forgiving and moving on.
Realising that other people don't always have self-awareness or emotional intelligence.
The 4 R's of relationships - we can't get to refine and repair without remorse and repentance. 
Disconnect affects different people in different ways.
