It's Not As Good (or Bad) As You Think

In this episode, Corie discusses how relationships—and even
life—are rarely black and white. You’ll hear how our tendency to
lean into extremes, whether viewing things as catastrophic or
overly ideal, can hinder healthy growth. With practical advice on
shame spirals, conflict resolution, and embracing emotional
humility, this episode will help you stay grounded in truth
without dismissing the struggles or victories you’re facing.


Corie also opens up about her own experiences, including early
marital challenges with Matt and how learning to externalize
struggles rather than internalize shame became a game-changer.


Whether you’re struggling with personal self-worth or navigating
conflict with your partner, this episode offers real, actionable
insights for bringing balance to your emotional and relational
life.
