Episode 285: How to Make Progress: Changing Your Thoughts

August 19, 2025

In today’s episode, we’re digging into the simple but transformative truth that your thoughts create your results. Not just in your to-do list, but in the way you feel about yourself, your partner, and your relationship.


I’ll show you how to spot the thoughts that are quietly working against you, and how to start choosing thoughts that bring you closer to the peace, connection, and love you really want.


By the end of this episode, you’ll know:


  • How to recognize the kinds of thoughts that keep you stuck in overwhelm, disconnection, or resentment.
  • A simple way to reframe your thinking so it actually supports what you want in your marriage.
  • Why “choosing a better thought” isn’t fake positivity—it’s a skill that can change the emotional climate of your relationship.
  • What to do when your negative thoughts feel true and how to shift without dismissing your reality.


This is the work that changes you first—and when you change, your marriage begins to change too.
