In this week's episode, Jamie and Guy discuss communicating clear expectations to reduce resentment within relationships. They explain that often times we don't communicate our expectations clearly.

On today's episode Jamie and Guy welcome a special guest (and longtime friend of Jaime) Kristy Gaisford LCSW to discuss narcissism. They discuss how being in a relationship with a narcissist can be incredibly difficult and damaging to one's mental and emotional well-being. Narcissists often exhibit clinical characteristics such as an inflated sense of self-importance, a lack of empathy, and a preoccupation with fantasies of success, power, and attractiveness. They may also exhibit manipulative and controlling behavior, gaslighting, and emotional abuse. The constant need for admiration and attention can leave their partners feeling emotionally drained and neglected. Additionally, because narcissists tend to see themselves as faultless, they are unlikely to take responsibility for their actions or make meaningful changes to improve the relationship. Listen to understand more about narcissism and to learn more about Kristy, check out her website https://loveworkrelationships.com/

It acknowledges the efforts and kindness of the other person, making them feel valued and appreciated. Saying thank you fosters a more positive connection between individuals and can contribute to a more meaningful and fulfilling relationship. Additionally, expressing gratitude has been linked to increased well-being, higher satisfaction in relationships, and a reduction in stress and negative emotions. They explain that saying 'thank you' almost seems too simple, but the power and influence it can have in a relationship can be great.

In this week's episode, Jamie and Guy discuss how relationships, even strong and lasting ones, can sometimes get into a rut. Relationship ruts can be caused by a variety of factors such as lack of communication, boredom, unresolved conflicts, and external pressures. To get out of a relationship rut, it is important to communicate openly and honestly with your partner, look for the positive or good in your relationship, decide how you want to show up in the relationship, and be proactive in creating the relationship that you want.

On this week's episode, Jamie and Guy reconnect with Andre Polonski from Kharkiv, Ukraine. They last spoke with Andre last March after the war broke out. Although he had the opportunity to leave Ukraine, he felt prompted to stay and help those who couldn't leave. Over this last year, he has served thousands of meals through his food delivery business with the help of donations from around the world. If you follow his Instagram account you can see his daily deliveries - often walking up flights and flights of stairs to deliver food, sometimes flowers, and always a smile. Sadly the war is not over - even during the recording of this episode sirens can be heard in the background. He still needs our help 💙💛
To learn more about Andre, follow him on IG here: https://www.instagram.com/andrepolonski and to donate funds, food or supplies go to http://paypal.com and enter AndreTheDeliverer@gmail.com. Also, he has a US address where packages can be sent and then forwarded on to him in the Ukraine:
Andre Zinkovski
3601 Old Capitol Trail
Unit-A-&, Suite 076735
Wilmingtin, DE 19808

On this week's episode, Jamie and Guy discuss the basics of codependency. Codependency in relationships refers to a dynamic where one person enables or supports negative behaviors in their partner, sacrificing their own well-being for the sake of the relationship. This can lead to a cycle of dysfunction where both partners become overly reliant on each other, leading to unhealthy codependent behaviors such as neglecting personal responsibilities, making decisions based on the needs of the relationship rather than individual needs, and a lack of personal boundaries. Ultimately, codependency can lead to feelings of resentment, low self-esteem, and a decreased ability to function in healthy relationships.
To learn more, take a listen to this episode and you can also refer to these books recommended by Jamie, Codependent No More, How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself by Melody Beattie https://amzn.to/3jiPUwY and How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Success by Julie Lythcott-Haims https://amzn.to/3Ri6wBk

Jamie and Guy discuss new year's resolutions vs. intentions in this week's episode. As we begin a new year, many of us may be thinking about what changes we want to make in our lives. Some may make resolutions, promising to lose weight, quit smoking, or save money. However, many of us may find ourselves struggling to keep these resolutions. Instead, we should focus on setting intentions. Intentions are different from resolutions in that they are not specific goals, but rather a mindset or attitude we want to adopt. Setting intentions allows us to be more flexible and open to change, rather than feeling like a failure if we don't meet a specific goal. Additionally, we can work on intentions throughout the year, rather than something we put pressure on ourselves to accomplish in a short period. So, let's start the new year with intentions to better ourselves, rather than resolutions that may hold us back 💛

Happy New Year and welcome back to the Davenport! On this week's episode Jamie and Guy welcome retired DEA Special Agent, Rocky Herron, to discuss the importance of drug prevention education for our kids. His mission is: to empower students to make smarter choices by showing them the true impact of substance abuse on the individual, the family, school, city, nation, and the global community. He began seeing a need for drug prevention education when his daughter was in 5th grade and he discovered there was no formal program in place. What he thought would be one assembly has turned into 700 presentations to over 140,000 students in elementary schools, high schools and universities in the U.S. and 14 other countries over the last 15 years. In his presentations he shares his insights and experiences from his time in the DEA, highlighting the devastating effects that drug addiction can have on young people and their families. He stresses the importance of education and early intervention in preventing kids from experimenting with drugs, and encourages parents and educators to be vigilant and proactive in addressing the issue. He also shares some practical tips and resources for parents and educators to use in their efforts to keep kids safe from drugs.

On this week's episode, Jamie and Guy finish their saboteur series by discussing the anecdote to the Saboteurs: the Sage. In his book on Positive Intelligence, Shirzad Chamineexplains the mind has two modes: positive and negative. The positive mode is called the Sage, while the negative mode is called our Saboteurs. Our Saboteurs are responsible for our feelings of frustration, regret, anxiety, shame, and guilt. They are the voices in our heads that generate negative emotions about the way we handle everyday life. While our Sage, on the other hand, does the opposite. It helps us handle challenges by encouraging us to focus on empathy, curiosity, tranquility, productivity, and more. It helps us handle challenges with a clear and calm mind and positive emotions. Ultimately, the Sage helps us to silence the Saboteurs. Listen to learn more about the Sage and how to harness it more when your Saboteurs show up 💪 Haven't taken the Saboteur Assessment yet?

On this week's episode, Jamie and Guy discuss and review the topic of quitting based on the book Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away by Annie Duke. They discuss why quitting can be so hard and how to know when to quit. We often feel pressure from society not to quit because we associate quitting with failure or weakness. But not everything we set out to do in life needs to be completed. We set goals, but it's ok if sometimes we don't reach them - in fact, it might be better if we don't. From relationships that went on too long, to college majors we should have switched sooner, to races we should skip to avoid injury - quitting might actually be the best thing to do. Ultimately, we have a finite amount of time and resources and by quitting one thing it allows us to get on to the next.

On this week's episode, Jamie and Guy discuss the stickler saboteur - which happens to be another one of Guy's strongest saboteurs. The 'stickler' saboteur is one of the ten types of saboteurs identified by Shirzad Chamine in his work on Positive Intelligence. He teaches that the saboteurs are the negative voices in our heads that "generate negative emotions" (stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness) and "sabotage our performance, well-being, and relationships". He defines the stickler saboteur as wanting perfectionism and a need for order and organization taken too far. The stickler is anxiously trying to make too many things perfect. It can be highly critical of itself and others. It strongly requires self-control. It has high standards and needs to be methodical. There is constant frustration with itself and others. It tends to see the world in black and white. The Stickler can also be a bit of a fixer, believing that they need to fix whatever mess they encounter.

Listen to learn how to manage this for yourself or support the ones you love when they feel sabotaged by this way of negative thinking.

On this week's episode, Jamie and Guy discuss the hyperrational saboteur - which happens to be Guy's 2nd strongest saboteur behind his controller. The 'hyperrational' saboteur is one of the ten types of saboteurs identified by Shirzad Chamine in his work on Positive Intelligence. He teaches that the saboteurs are the negative voices in our heads that "generate negative emotions" (stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness) and "sabotage our performance, wellbeing and relationships". He defines the hyperrational saboteur as having an intense and exclusive focus on the rational processing of everything, including relationships. They can be perceived as uncaring, unfeeling, or intellectually arrogant. The over-rational tendencies of this saboteur often come at the cost of not being able, or wanting, to experience deep emotions. They value the intellect above all else.

Listen to learn how to manage this for yourself or how to support the ones you love when they are feeling sabotaged by this way of negative thinking.

On this week's episode Jamie and Guy discuss keeping score in relationships. From romantic relationships, to parenting, to driving in traffic - they discuss how keeping score isn't a winning strategy for improving connection. Jamie explains that when we are keeping score someone is always on offense and the other is on defense. By keeping score we often discount the good because we are keeping score of what's not working. Plus, there are so many factors involved it would be impossible to keep an accurate score. We should want to be on the same team as our spouse or partner. We can do that by communicating our needs, looking for what is going well within our relationships and staying in gratitude 💛

On this week's episode, Jamie and Guy talk about differentiation. This topic came up after reading an article in Psychology Today titled Feeling Fed Up, Resentful? Maybe You’re DifferentiatingbyRobert Taibbi L.C.S.W. In this article, differentiation is defined as the active, ongoing process of defining self. It involves separating from those close to us and focusing more on our needs. It can happen at various points in our life - as a toddler trying to do things on our own, to a teenager trying to differentiate or separate from our parents, and to an adult when we don't feel content in a job or a relationship, etc. Some of the common characteristics of differentiation are: feeling angry, resentful, irritable, feeling incomplete, and questioning past decisions. Listen as Jamie and Guy discuss times in their life they have felt this and how they have moved through it.

On this week's episode, Jamie and Guy discuss the hyperachiever saboteur. The 'hyperachiever' saboteur is one of the ten types of saboteurs identified by Shirzad Chamine in his work on Positive Intelligence. He teaches that the saboteurs are the negative voices in our heads that "generate negative emotions" (stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness) and "sabotage our performance, wellbeing and relationships". He defines the hyperachiever saboteur as: "Dependent on constant performance and achievement for self-respect and self-validation. Highly focused on external success, leading to unsustainable workaholic tendencies and loss of touch with deeper emotional and relationship needs." Hyperachievers are "competitive, image and status-conscious. Good at covering up insecurities and showing positive image. Adapt personality to fit what would be most impressive to the other. Goal-oriented and workaholic streak. More into perfecting public image than introspection. Can be self-promoting. Can keep people at safe distance."

Listen to learn how to manage this for yourself or how to support the ones you love when they are feeling sabotaged by this way of negative thinking.

On this week's episode, Jamie and Guy discuss the restless saboteur. The 'restless' saboteur is one of the ten types of saboteurs identified by Shirzad Chamine in his work on Positive Intelligence. He teaches that the saboteurs are the negative voices in our heads that "generate negative emotions" (stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness) and "sabotage our performance, wellbeing and relationships". He defines the restless saboteur as: The need to look for excitement from many activities. It is easily distracted and bounces back from unpleasant feelings and seeks new stimulation. Attention is constantly shifted and impatience is constant. It avoids a real and lasting focus on any issues or relationships. Restless saboteurs provide a substitute for self-nurture and an escape from anxiety and pain.

Restless is a more dominant saboteur for Jamie but not her strongest and it sits more in the middle for Guy. Jamie explains that her restlessness is driven by a desire to have fun and try new things. She became more aware of it when she married and has learned to balance it out when it tends to get a little too loud. Guy explains that his "controller saboteur" keeps this one in check for him 😂. Listen to learn how to manage this for yourself or how to support the ones you love when they are feeling sabotaged by this way of negative thinking.

Recently Jamie attended a funeral for a dear friend who had a powerful influence for good in her life - and it made her think about the difference between being a positive influence versus being an "Influencer". In this episode, Jamie and Guy compare the two and how they differ. Being an "Influencer" is more of a modern phenomenon in today's society of social media and can lean a little more toward a "promoter" of themselves, products, etc. Take a listen and consider those people in your life who are a positive influence and how you can be the same 💛

The 'Hypervigilant' saboteur is one of the ten types of saboteurs identified by Shirzad Chamine in his work on Positive Intelligence. He teaches that the saboteurs are the negative voices in our heads that "generate negative emotions" (stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness) and "sabotage our performance, wellbeing and relationships". He defines the Hypervigilant saboteur as: "Continuous intense anxiety about all the dangers and what could go wrong. Vigilance that can never rest. This mode puts you in a constant state of high stress, thinking that that’s the best way you protect yourself and your loved ones. But it leads to tunnel-vision and wastes a lot of mental and emotional energy."

Even though this isn't Jamie or Guy's strongest saboteur - they both agree it became more intense when they became parents. It may or may not be your strongest saboteur, but chances are you have someone in your life who struggles more with it. Listen to learn how to manage this for yourself or how to support the ones you love when they are feeling sabotaged by this way of negative thinking.

On this week's episode Jamie and Guy discuss how to give 'Pep Talks' to our kids. Often times our kids come to us with challenges or insecurities - from taking tests, to trying out for a sport, to navigating friendships and relationships. As parents, we often want to jump in, offer our opinions or intervene - but this isn't what they always need. Jamie and Guy discuss the components of an effective pep talk versus a lecture. They explain that our role should be that of a cheerleader, coach and supporter thats help them maintain a healthy perspective on things. Our goal is to help them development confidence in making their own decisions - and to teach them that whatever the outcome - if they fail the test, don't make the team, or break up with their boyfriend - they will be ok.

On this week's episode Jamie and Guy discuss the importance of self-compassion and forgiving ourselves. They compare forgiving others versus forgiving ourselves and why the latter can be so difficult. We are often quick to forgive others but when it comes to ourselves we can have a hard time letting go. Jamie explains that when we replay our mistakes over and over in our head it leads to shame and guilt. Lastly, Guy learns about "rumination disorder" and will never look at Jell-o the same 😳

On this week's episode, Jamie and Guy continue with their saboteur series - this time focusing on the 'Victim' saboteur. The 'Victim' saboteur is one of the ten types of saboteurs identified by Shirzad Chamine in his work on Positive Intelligence. He teaches that the saboteurs are the negative voices in our heads that "generate negative emotions" (stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness) and "sabotage our performance, wellbeing and relationships". The Victim saboteur is defined as: emotional and temperamental as a way to gain attention and affection. An extreme focus on internal feelings, particularly painful ones. Martyr streak.
Although the victim saboteur isn't the strongest saboteur for Jamie or Guy - it still shows up from time to time on days when they feel like nothing is going their way or they can't catch a break 😔 It may or may not be your strongest saboteur, but chances are you have someone in your life who struggles more with it. Listen to learn how to manage this for yourself or how to support the ones you love when they are feeling sabotaged by this way of negative thinking.

Jamie explains how the Hope Squad was begun by a high school principal who was compelled to act due to the high suicide rate at his school. Joining forces with health care professionals and the community, the first Hope Squad was formed. As a current member of the Hope Squad in her high school, Sklyer explains how she and other classmates are nominated by their peers and then trained to help their classmates struggling with depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts or dealing with a death in their family. Skyler explains the positive impacts this experience has had on her and her community.

In today's episode, Jamie and Guy welcome guest Russell T. Osguthorpe, an instructional psychologist, former college professor at BYU and author of several books, to discuss attachment theory in adults. Dr. Osguthorpe explains that attachment theory originally focused on infants and children but in more recent years has expanded to include adults. He explains the 4 types of attachment we can have include Secure Attachment, Anxious Attachment, Avoidant Attachment and Dysfunctional Attachment. Knowing your attachment style and the attachment style of the person you are in a relationship with can help help you better understand each other and help you to strengthen your relationship.

Counting sheep has nothing on this week’s guest, Chrissy Lawler, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, lover of sleep, and baby sleep consultant. Chrissy explains when she began practicing therapy she started to realize that sleep issues were a common thread among all of her clients. Because of this, she decided to pursue additional training in advanced sleep medicine. She says her goal is to “take the stress out of sleep training and get everyone in the family a good night’s rest.” What began with helping adults achieve a better night's sleep, shifted to focusing on helping babies sleep when she became a mother. She says, “I started having babies and realized that I functioned 1,000x better when I had slept. I read every book I could get my hands on about sleep training and realized that, though there are differences with every baby, there are a lot of universal truths about getting babies to sleep well.” In this episode, Chrissy explains to Jamie and Guy the differences between how babies sleep and how adults sleep - and tips on how to improve both. Jamie and Guy both agreed all this information would have been so nice to have had years ago when they were newborns. To learn more about Chrissy and how to get better sleep, follow her on Instagram:

On this week's episode Jamie and Guy deep dive into another saboteur as part of their Positive Intelligence Saboteur Series: the Avoider. The "Avoider"" is one of the ten types of saboteurs identified by Shirzad Chamine in his work on Positive Intelligence. He teaches that the saboteurs are the negative voices in our heads that "generate negative emotions" (stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness) and "sabotage our performance, wellbeing and relationships". The Avoider saboteur causes a person to focus on the positive and pleasant in an extreme way. It causes them to avoid difficult and unpleasant tasks and conflicts. While neither Jamie nor Guy have the "Avoider" as their top saboteur, it still shows up for them from time to time. From doing laundry, to delaying hard conversations with loved ones to putting off doing taxes until the last minute, they share how this saboteur can manifest in their lives. 😓

On this week's episode Jamie and Guy discuss another saboteur or inner critic: the Pleaser. Jamie explains how she is all too familiar with this saboteur because it is her "#1". Being a "pleaser" is one of the ten types of saboteurs identified by Shirzad Chamine in his work on Positive Intelligence. He teaches that the saboteurs are the negative voices in our heads that "generate negative emotions" (stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness) and "sabotage our performance, wellbeing and relationships". Jamie explains how the pleaser shows up for her and when it becomes a little too strong. She also clarifies that being a pleaser isn't all bad but she knows went it's starting to become unhealthy when she begins to feel resentful or taken advantage of. As she has gotten older she has learned to recognize when it is "sabotaging" her and has learned to quiet it better.

Kara is also a life coach and host of The Special Needs Mom Podcast: A place for moms to connect and grow.

On this week's episode Jamie and Guy discuss accountability. From RSVP'ing to parties, to holding yourself accountable to training for a marathon, to taking ownership in relationships when you "step in it" - accountability is important and shows up in all facets of our lives. They discuss how there are no "buts" or blaming when you are being accountable for your actions. Being accountable means you turn inward to analyze how you have behaved instead of outwardly blaming others or the situation. Being accountable means taking responsibility for your actions. Highly accountable people don't make excuses and work through the problems. Simply put, accountability means following through and doing what you say you are going to do.

This week's episode was inspired by Terry Real's discussion about self-esteem in his most recent book Fierce Intimacy. Self-esteem is a topic Jamie and Guy have focused on before but after reading this book wanted to take a deeper dive into the 3 types of self-esteem discussed in this book: (1) Performance-based esteem: I have worth based on what I do. (2) Attribute-based esteem: I have worth based on what I have; and (3) Others-based esteem: I have worth because other people think I do. Take a listen as Jamie and Guy discuss the harm in basing your self-esteem in any of these three ways and how to develop a strong sense of self esteem. The key to gaining strong self esteem or self worth, Jamie explains, is truly understanding you are "as good as" everyone else - you are not better than anyone, they are not better you - you're as good as everyone else.

On this week's episode Jamie and Guy discuss control and being a controller. Being a "controller" is one of the ten types of saboteurs identified by Shirzad Chamine in his work on Positive Intelligence. He teaches that the saboteurs are the negative voices in our heads that "generate negative emotions" (stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, restlessness, and unhappiness) and "sabotage our performance, wellbeing and relationships". A controller is someone who wants to do things their way (because they feel it is the best way or the right way) to achieve the outcome or goal they desire. Guy gets vulnerable sharing how his #1 saboteur is 'controller' and how that shows up for him (...often when he's waiting in line at Wal-mart or parking in the Disneyland parking garage 😂). They both agree controllers are not inherently 'bad'. They make great leaders and help get things down because they are goal-oriented. But left unchecked, controlling behavior can go too far leading to abusive behavior and damaging relationships. This episode is bound to leave you chuckling - seeing as it lead Jamie to tears 😂 We hope you enjoy it - if you do, please take a minute to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts:) Thanks so much!

In this week's episode Jamie and Guy discuss toxic productivity. Toxic productivity is the unhealthy desire to be productive at all times and at all costs. It often comes with a big serving of guilt that no matter how productive we are, we feel like we should be doing more. Jamie and Guy explain that productivity in and of itself isn’t a bad thing. But toxic productivity is when we take it too far. Toxic productivity can be driven by fear, the need for control or out of the habit of attaching our worth to our achievements. They discuss how the ultimate goal is to have healthy productivity - keeping it in balance with other aspects of life. It should be more about our personal self development - who do we want to be versus what do we want to achieve.

We’re back from our winter break and looking forward to sharing lots of great topics this year. On this week’s episode Jamie and Guy discuss Mindfulness - which has been a bit of a buzz word the last few years. Mindfulness is the state of active, open attention to the present, a.k.a. being in the moment. It’s a very intentional activity that helps you to focus on your thoughts and feelings. Jamie explains that the two elements that matter the most in mindfulness are awareness and acceptance. The benefit of mindfulness is that you know what you are feeling and acknowledging it helps you to move through it. It reduces stress, anxiety, depression and pain…and who couldn’t use less of those 💛

On this week’s episode Jamie and Guy discuss repair versus resolution when conflicts arise in relationships. Jamie explains that “repair attempts” are actions you take to get your relationship back on track and back in connection with your partner. She explains that 75% of the conflict with our partner is perpetual - conflicts that pop up again and again. She also explains that that is totally normal and it doesn’t mean your relationship is “broken” and needs to be "fixed" - it just needs some adjustments or tune-ups to stay on track. The happiest couples, she explains, are the ones that repair the most often because it helps them to stay in connection 💛

On this week's episode Jamie and Guy discuss FOMO - the Fear Of Missing Out. FOMO has probably always existed but technology and social media have certainly made it worse. It is easy to start scrolling through Instagram or Facebook and compare our lives to others. Jamie explains that FOMO is a real feeling - but it’s not necessarily real in that it’s indicative of our reality. They go on to discuss that we don’t need to live with this feeling of 'less than' because we haven’t had the same experiences as others. They encourage everyone to not fall into comparison, to turn off that chatter and to be really mindful, present and intentional in what’s happening in our lives at this moment - because that is where we will find greater satisfaction and joy.

This week on the Davenport, Jamie and Guy discuss Emotional Resilience. What is emotional resilience? Emotional resilience refers to one’s ability to adapt to stressful situations or crises. It's the ability to "bounce back" or "roll with the punches" and adapt to challenges in life without having lasting difficulties. Less resilient people have a harder time with stress and life changes, both big and small. An important component of emotional resilience is emotional intelligence - being able to recognize what you are feeling and why. Quoting Alecia Moore, Jamie explained, "Resilience is a muscle. Flex it enough and it will take less effort to get over the emotional punches each time." Listen and learn how to strengthen this muscle so it's good and strong when you need it most 💪

On this week’s episode Jamie and Guy welcome Jamie’s longtime friend and former college classmate, Jim R. Jacobs, LCSW, CDWF, author, father and avid fencer. They discuss shame - and in particular - the shame that is triggered by the unobtainable quest of trying "to do our best”. Jim explains that we live in a world that tells us to do our best but then tells us our best is never good enough - and how this inevitably leads to shame. He suggests that instead of trying to do our best , we should strive to achieve something that is measurable - connecting with others, having more patience, being brave, etc. By correlating measurable goals with our values, we will find more fulfillment in life, experience more success and be able to measure our progress in a meaningful way 💛

In today’s episode Jamie and Guy discuss how life isn’t always fair. We learn this principle when we are young so why does it keep tripping us up as we get older? Even when we try our best and do everything right, life isn't always fair because we can’t always control everything. From portioning out the “treat” cereal with siblings, to not being able to take a trip to somewhere fun like a friend did, to coming to terms with infertility and accepting that your family may look different than what you always dreamed it might - unfairness is a part of life.

Jamie explains that it’s important to remember life isn’t a race or competition against others. We are each in our own lane trying to reach our own personal goals. Yet, sometimes we can look over into other people’s lanes and see what they have - and maybe we don’t - and it feels unfair. Those feelings are normal but Jamie and Guy encourage the listeners to not sit in that space too long. Lean on gratitude and generosity, and do the best you can in the lane you are given 💛

On this week's episode Jamie and Guy respond to a question from a teen podcast listener. This listener asked, "How do I start to like myself?" This led to a discussion about self-worth, knowing who you are and developing confidence. Jamie and Guy discuss the importance of having self-worth, and knowing, no matter what you do , no matter what choices you make - your worth stays the same. No one is perfect, being flawed is part of being human. In fact, Jamie explains that part of confidence is knowing, "I'm flawed and I'm ok with it." We are all a work in progress - don't forget to be kind and show generosity to yourself along the way 💛

This week's episode continues last week's topic of dating and expands it into dating in marriage or long-term relationships. Jamie also introduces the concept of "Love Maps" as taught by Dr. John Gottman. A "Love Map" is the part of your brain where you store all the relevant information about your partner's life - their goals in life, worries, dreams, etc. Jamie explains that when we are dating we spend hours and hours getting to know everything about each other. That intensity cannot be maintained over the years in marriage because we often get caught up in the day to day tasks of life - paying bills, raising children, working on the house. If we are not careful though, our love maps can become out of date and we can become less connected as a couple.
Dr. Gottman explains:
"Couples who have detailed love maps of each other’s worlds are far better prepared to cope with stressful events and conflict. Partners who are already intently aware of what each other are feeling and thinking aren’t as thrown off course by changes and stress in each other’s lives. But if you don’t start off with a deep knowledge of each other, it’s easy for your relationship to lose its way when your lives shift with the challenges and stressors that come to you over time.
Dating in marriage is an important part of updating Love Maps and strengthening marriages. Getting to know your partner better is an ongoing process. For more information on Love Maps, check out this app Jamie discusses in this episode: https://www.gottman.com/couples/apps/

On this week's episode Jamie and Guy discuss the 4 types of people we need in our inner circle. This discussion was inspired by an article by Suneel Guptay titled The 4 Types of Personalities Leaders Need In Their Inner Circle. A link to the article can be found here:

https://www.fastcompany.com/90607514/the-4-types-of-personalities-leaders-need-in-their-inner-circle

The 4 types of personalities the author recommends are: a Collaborator, a Cheerleader, a Coach and a Critic. Jamie and Guy discuss each of these types of people and how they add value to our lives. The collaborator is someone who’s going to help you expand your ideas. They’re not going to agree with everything you say, but all feedback is going to feel productive. The cheerleader is the person who’s going to make you feel confident before you get in the room. They give you the encouragement you need when you're feeling uncertain and unsure. The coach will help you understand if an idea is right for you. They are a sounding board or safe space to say whatever you want. The critic is the person who will deliberately poke holes in your ideas. Their role is not to criticize but to help you critically think ideas though. Each of these 4 types of people bring value in different ways and complete the circle of support we need as we navigate life's challenges and work toward our goals.

On this week's episode Jamie and Guy discuss the importance of taking time-outs when emotions are escalating and arguments are getting out of hand. The purpose of a time-out is to abruptly stop unconstructive interaction between you and your partner. They are a way to stay in control, to de-escalate and to avoid arguments. Jamie refers to Terry Real's book The New Rules of Marriageto explain the rules, or guidelines, for taking time-outs. When done properly time-outs can help us to gain perspective and prevent us from hurting our partner or saying something we are going to regret.

On this week’s episode Jamie and Guy welcome back another one of their favorite guests, Mara Vernon CPCC, PCC, CDTLF to continue last week’s discussion on being triggered. Mara shares an analogy or framework of what happens emotionally and physiologically when we are triggered. She calls this situation “being in the ring” and describes it as an emotional boxing ring. She explains that when we are "in the ring" our brain only scans for the negative and we are on the defensive, ready to fight. She goes on to explain that the way to get out of the ring is to recognize you are in it, learn to manage your emotions and then recover to a less triggered state where you are in service of your values.

In this week’s episode Jamie and Guy discuss four different communication styles: Aggressive, Passive, Passive-Aggressive and Assertive. They begin by explaining the differences between being Assertive and being Aggressive because they can sometimes be mistaken for each other. When someone is using Assertive communication, they clearly state their opinions and feelings and firmly advocate for their rights and needs without violating the rights of others. They are respectful of the rights of others. Aggressive communication, on the other hand, does not. An Aggressive communication style is a style of communicating in which individuals express their feelings and opinions and advocate for their needs in a way that violates the rights of others. An Aggressive communicator goes one up. They make others feel small. Jamie and Guy round out the conversation by discussing the other two communication styles - Passive and Passive-Aggressive - and how these are also not optimal. Everyone tends to gravitate toward one style more than another, but they agreed that the Assertive communication style is really "where you want to land" and with increased awareness and practice anyone can become more assertive in their communication 💛

Ego… the word is often associated with a negative connotation, but in this week’s episode, Jamie and Guy discuss why it is so important to have a strong, healthy ego. They explain that a strong ego helps us respond to life’s challenges versus just reacting to them. A strong ego means you have a strong sense of identity - you know who you are. A strong ego helps you develop solutions to life’s challenges. Jamie also explains that people you are drawn to in your life probably have a strong ego because they are comfortable with themselves and so they’re comfortable with you. Lastly, she cautioned that you shouldn’t let the strength of someone else’s ego make you diminish yours.

On this week's episode, Jamie and Guy discuss a question received from a listener. The question the listener asked was: "I know you both have young kids but would you consider an episode on adult children and navigating toxic relationships with parents? My age group, older millennials, are doing the work - therapy, self-help books, podcasts, etc. I feel like the more I know the harder it is to have a healthy relationship with my parents because they aren’t willing to do the work and often shame it. This is something most of my friends are going through as well." Listen as Jamie and Guy discuss this topic and how to address generational differences in these types of relationships.

On today’s episode, Jamie and Guy welcome back one of their favorite guests, Brent Peterson, founder of GameChef Board Games, former track star (almost), and one-time skydiver who is never going again - to discuss what they’ve learned about making life decisions and the power of choice. From having too many choices in the cereal aisle, to choosing what color car to buy - to choosing a life partner or a career - they discuss why making small and/or big decisions can sometimes feel paralyzing and what to do about it. Jamie explains that, “we often don’t always feel licensed to do what we want”. We often feel obligated to choose certain things or do certain things but they aren't always in alignment with what we really want or with what our values are. Getting clear about what you want is essential to knowing where you want to go in life and making the best decisions to get you there:)

On this week's episode, Jamie and Guy discuss the concept of "bidding" for emotional connection as taught by Dr. John Gottman. A "bid" is any attempt from one partner to another for attention, affirmation, affection or any other positive connection. Bids show up in simple ways - a smile, a wink, and in more complex ways like a request for advice or help. They can be positive or negative. When we’re turning towards our partner - that’s a positive bid. When we're turning away from our partner - that’s a negative bid. Every interaction is a potential bid. The importance of giving consistent positive bids to your partner cannot be understated. Dr. Gottman says it’s the biggest protection against divorce. Listen to hear how Jamie and Guy have learned to use bids in their relationships and the benefits that come from it.

On this week's episode of the Davenport Podcast, Jamie and Guy welcome Marsha Berkson, a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, to discuss their strengths discovered by taking the Gallup Clifton Strength Assessment. The Clifton Strength Assessment was developed to help people discover what they naturally do best. Marsha explains that our strengths describe us, influence our choices, direct our actions, and explain why we are better at some things than others. In short, they shape the way we think, feel, and behave. The assessment ranks your strengths (34 strengths total) to help you discover which are at the top. Your top five strengths are who you are every single day. Jamie discovered her #1 was Harmony while Guy's #1 was Activator. Listen to see how their strengths guide them in life - from careers to checking out at Walmart 😂 Listen to learn more about identifying your strengths and how they guide your life 💛

How do you feel loved? Do you know your "Love Language"? On this week's episode Jamie and Guy respond to a question from a listener about the difference between Validation and Reassurance. This listener explained their love language is "words of affirmation". They wanted to know how to distinguish between Validation and Reassurance and how to ask for one while limiting the other. To begin the episode, Jamie and Guy discuss the 5 different types of love languages and why they are important to know about yourself and your partner. Jamie goes on to explain that needing affirmation from your spouse is fine - as long as you understand if they don't give it to you your value has not changed. Your sense of value and worth needs to come from within, not from your spouse (or anyone else). When your value becomes dependent on what your spouse says or thinks about you - that can be more problematic and lead into codependency. We encourage you to take a listen to today's episode to hear the whole discussion:)

A few months ago, Guy came across a show discussing kids and technology titled Connect: Real Help for Parenting Kids in a Social Media World. One message that really resonated with him was taught by Dr. Kathy Koch PhD in Reading and Educational Psychology, Founder and President of Celebrate Kids, Inc. , and author. In this show, Dr. Kathy discussed the 5 lies that technology teaches our kids:
1) I am the center of my own universe.
2) I deserve to be happy all the time.
3) I must have choices.
4) I am my own authority.
5) Information is all I need so I don't need teachers.
Listen as Jamie and Guy discuss each of these lies and how they affect our kids view of the world and their place in it. They also discuss how to combat these lies and the importance of doing so as we raise our kids 💛

If only I had taken that class, or waited a little longer, or remembered to do that thing…we all experience guilt, regret and remorse throughout our lives. In a previous episode, Jamie and Guy discussed shame - which comes from a place of “I am bad”. In today’s episode they continued this discussion focusing more on guilt which is “I did something bad” and how to keep that guilt from becoming shame. Guilt isn't always bad - sometimes can be a motivator and a teacher. If we didn’t study for a test and received a bad grade - the next time we may feel more motivated to prepare better. But only operating out of guilt - or feeling bad if we don’t do something - isn’t healthy and can lead to feelings of frustration and resentment. Likewise, we will have regret and remorse in life - but that doesn’t make our life bad. Jamie emphasizes the importance of understanding these feelings are normal. What’s important is to recognize them, move through them, repair when you can and don’t let them eat you up.

If you've listened to even a few of our podcasts over the last six months, you've probably heard the topic of "boundaries" pop up more than a few times. On this week’s episode Jamie and Guy invite back Mara Vernon CPCC, PCC, CDTLF to dedicate a full episode on this important topic. Mara explains that boundaries, simply defined, is being clear about "what’s ok and what is not ok" for a person. Jamie added that a boundary can be thought of as “where one person ends and another begins”. Establishing boundaries requires understanding about what you are feeling and need and being able to communicate that to others. They discuss the reason boundaries are so difficult (and often uncomfortable) to establish and that the result of not setting boundaries can lead to feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and resentful. In comparison, when boundaries are set you receive the benefits of increased compassion, assertiveness, peace, safety, and respect.

In this week’s episode, Jamie and Guy continue discussing “The Four Horsemen” by Dr. John Gottman. The Four Horsemen are four negative communication styles that can arise during times of conflict with our partner. They are research proven behaviors that if left unchecked are the best predictors of a relationship failing. They include Criticism, Defensiveness, Contempt and Stonewalling. In today’s episode, Jamie and Guy discuss the second two, Contempt and Stonewalling. Contempt shows up when we use verbal (or nonverbal) attacks against our partner that are insulting, condescending or disrespectful in an attempt to put them down. Stonewalling is when we withdrawal from interacting with our partner while staying physically present. Both are non-effective ways to communicate when in conflict - but contempt is particularly destructive. Through his studies, Dr. Gottman has found that when contempt begins to overwhelm a relationship, it is the number one predictor of divorce.

Dr. Gottman teaches that conflict is inevitable and a normal, healthy part of all relationships. It's how we deal with conflict that can be problematic. Knowing how to navigate away from these negative communication styles will help ensure long-lasting, healthy relationships. In addition to defining and sharing their experiences with these two Horsemen, Jamie and Guy also discuss the antidotes to both to help you recognize and repair them when they show up in your relationships.

Shame is a very powerful emotion. It is a feeling of being flawed, of not feeling worthy, a feeling of contempt. In this episode Jamie and Guy welcome guest Mara Vernon, CPCC, PCC, CDTLF, to the Davenport to discuss shame and why it is so, so powerful. They discuss shame's relationship to guilt, embarrassment and humiliation. They discuss how we use "Shame Shields" (as taught by Brené Brown) as a way to disconnect or protect ourselves from shame. Most importantly, they provide ways we can manage shame by moving from shame to guilt, using breathing and physical exercises to help us recover, and by practicing empathy, both for ourselves and for others.

On this week’s episode, Jamie and Guy revisit the theory of Positive Intelligence and inner critics or "Saboteurs" to talk about the greatest Saboteur of them all - the Judge. Saboteurs are the voices in our head that generate negative emotions to the way we handle life’s challenges. They sabotage both our happiness and performance. There are a total of ten types of Saboteurs including the Pleaser, the Controller, the Avoider, etc. The prevalence and types of Saboteurs we struggle with can vary from person to person, but the #1 Saboteur for everyone is the Judge.

The Judge is everyone's greatest internal enemy. It activates our other top Saboteurs, causes much of our stress and unhappiness, and reduces our effectiveness. Jamie and Guy discuss how it shows up in all of our lives - judging ourselves, judging others, and judging our circumstances - and share examples of times the Judge has interfered in their lives. They explain why it is the strongest saboteur, how we can learn to faster recognize when it shows up in our thinking and what we can do to shut it down 🙌🏼

Most parents can agree that their number one goal is to care for and raise good kids. Today on the podcast, Jamie and Guy talk with Dr. Aaron Cannon, Ph.D. in Psychology, about when parenting 'goes bad' and how to avoid common parenting mistakes. Drawing on his years of experience working with inmates in the California Department of Corrections (prison), to raising his own two children, Dr. Cannon discusses some of the most important things he has learned about parenting. He stresses the importance of allowing our kids to make mistakes, apologizing when we make mistakes, being consistent in how we parent, and allowing our kids the opportunity and support to find out who they are, and who they hope to become ❤️

Last week Jamie and Guy discussed the 5 Losing Communication Strategies in relationships and today they're talking about the 5 Winning Communication Strategies. These strategies are taught and referenced from Terry Real's book, The New Rules of Marriage: What You Need to Know to Make Love Work. Jamie and Guy explain how the 5 Winning Strategies work to facilitate communication instead of hindering it. For example, instead of trying to be right or arguing about who is right, it is better to listen with compassion to better understand your partner's feelings or point of view. Another way to improve communication is to request what you need instead of complaining about what you're not getting:( Also, Guy accidentally starts singing a Madonna song and then quickly apologizes 😂

On this week's episode of the Davenport Podcast we welcomed Amy Adams, MSW, PPSC, to discuss teens and smartphones. Amy and Jamie first met in college while studying social work. Amy went on to get her masters from UCLA and then accepted a job with the Department of Child and Family Services in Los Angeles County. Not only is Amy a seasoned social worker, she is also a mother of 4, an author of Screen Ed: Your "Driver's Education" Manual for Smartphones, and a member of her city's school board. When she's not busy working, parenting, writing or volunteering, she also loves to run. During this episode, Amy discusses her book and how she wrote it for her oldest child before he got his first phone. She knew firsthand the trouble kids can encounter with smartphones, and she wanted to prevent that from happening to her kids. As parents of teenage kids, we soaked up all of her insights and advice on this topic and think you will too:)

In this week’s episode Jamie and Guy discuss vulnerability in human behavior and emotions and how it differs from disclosure. Jamie describes how vulnerability involves being uncertain, at risk and emotionally exposed. They discuss common misconceptions or myths about vulnerability (Myth #1: Vulnerability is weakness) and why they are not true. They reference the work done by Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW on vulnerability and share her insight on the topic. In particular, these discuss how Brené Brown has taught, "You do not measure vulnerability by the amount of disclosure - you measure vulnerability by the amount of courage it took to show up and be seen when you can not control the outcome....Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage."

"Sometimes we are our own worst critic" is a well-known phrase and, unfortunately, often true. In this first episode of the new year, Jamie and Guy discuss how our inner critics or "saboteurs" often get in the way of us reaching our goals. Saboteurs are "invisible agents of self-sabotage" and represent our brain's automatic beliefs and assumptions about how to handle life's challenges. Guy has Jamie take a "Saboteur Assessment" (or quiz) to identify her hardest-working saboteurs and then they discuss which ones they struggle with the most. This assessment is based on the theory of Positive Intelligence by Shirzad Chamine and his bestselling book on the subject. More information on Positive Intelligence and a link to the free Saboteur Assessment can be found here: https://www.positiveintelligence.com/

Also in this episode, Jamie and Guy kick off the new year with a giveaway...listen to see what it is and how to enter (and check out @thedavenportpodcast on IG and FB)

Think of this episode as Communication 101 . Good communication is fundamental to strong relationships between spouses, parents and children, friends, etc. In this episode Jamie and Guy lay down the basics of good communication: listening, having empathy, and getting curious about the other person's thoughts or point of view. Oftentimes we focus on what we should say when we are talking with others. But communication is more effective if we spend more time listening and less time talking. Like always, Jamie and Guy discuss what works and what doesn't work through personal experiences and stories. We think you'll enjoy it:)

Toxic Positivity may sound like an oxymoron - how can positivity be toxic? In this episode Jamie and Guy discuss how at times the overuse of positivity can actually be harmful or cause more pain in an already trying circumstance. Challenges and hardships in life can not simply be "covered up" with positive phrases that dismiss the difficulty or pain that comes with them. The only way through difficulties is to go through them. Recounting personal experiences of infertility and miscarriages to the death of loved ones, they discuss how we often try to console others with comments like "this too shall pass" or "let's make the best of it". Their well-meaning intention is to help the other person see the "positive" in a difficult situation but often it can backfire and make the person feel worse.

Do you ever feel like you are not enough? Not doing enough, not working hard enough, not thin enough, not being the world's most amazing parent? In this episode Jamie and Guy tackle those feelings head on. Guy explains that to him when he settles for "good enough" it feels like he is "giving up" or being mediocre - and he feels guilty or bad that he didn't do better. But Jamie explains sometimes "good enough" is okay. We don't always have to strive for excellence in everything we do - instead we need to manage our expectations and accept that sometimes trying our best, even though it is not perfect, is good enough.

Have you ever had a great idea for a game and thought, "I wonder how hard it would be to make it into an actual board game?" Our guest today, Brent Peterson, can answer that. He has nine games under his belt with more ideas brewing all the time. He has sold thousands of games in retailers across the country and on Amazon. He describes himself as the kid who was always starting up games of "Kick the Can" or "Sardines" in the neighborhood, and that that love of games has never stopped. This successful side business was born out of love, not necessity, and he truly loves that it brings a little fun and joy into people's lives every day. This episode isn't all fun and games though (Brent would appreciate that pun), as a self-described extrovert, he also discusses the difficulty of feeling isolated and anxious during the early months of the pandemic and the importance of staying connected. He discusses that as a single guy, all of his social connections were cut off and he suddenly found himself not only alone but anxious from all the events going on - Covid, earthquakes, empty store shelves, etc. - and how he got to a better place. We think his message is one everyone can relate to these days:)

Feeling anxious about the upcoming holidays? You're not alone. This episode is in response to questions we received from listeners about how to navigate holiday gatherings when members of your family have different political views, opinions about Covid, or want to bring up sensitive issues like Aunt Jean's divorce. Jamie and Guy talk about how you have to "unpack" the anxiety, set boundaries and manage what you can control. Jamie encourages you to remember your "why" - why are you getting together for the holidays? To eat? Watch football? Talk politics? Take a nap? Establishing your "why" will help you be more intentional and authentic and make the whole experience more enjoyable. Remember that even though people may having differing opinions, if there is respect and kindness and love - the holiday gathering can result in more connection and less contention.❤️Happy Holidays!

In this week's episode Jamie and Guy sit down on the Davenport and chat with Tubby Todd head mama, Andrea Faulkner Williams. Andrea shares her story about starting Tubby Todd Bath Co., an all-natural bath products company, with her husband Brian and looks back on how far they've come. She talks about her love of work and of being a mother to her four kids - and how grateful she is that she's been able to balance both. By the end of the episode, we felt enlightened, inspired and a little sore from laughing - and we think you will too:)
(P.S. We recommend pairing this episode with a Diet Coke over pebble ice and a Tubby Todd Bubble Bath for ultimate enjoyment:)

Has anyone ever called you shy, or loud, or old, or tired, or "just" a stay-at-home mom? These can all be examples of "Unwanted Identities" or "undesirable" ways that other people perceive you. Often times they are shaped by families and culture - and by their nature, they are "unwanted" and can cause you to feel ashamed and unworthy. In this episode, Jamie and Guy discuss their own Unwanted Identities and how they led to either change or acceptance. They also discuss the importance of knowing who you are, recognizing why an identity feels unwanted and deciding how you want that perception to define you.
