This is the third episode in our series on trust, and today we will explore another essential building block: motive.
The Speed of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything by Stephen M.R. Covey;The Way of Trust and Love by Jacques Philippe; Trust by Dr. Henry Cloud.
We’ll dive into why motive is crucial, look at John Gottman's "index of betrayal"—a metric that signals when a marriage may be in trouble—and see how the right motives can actually help increase trust.
We'll also explore motive in the workplace, reflecting on how my own approach fits with the team and where my work aligns well with others.
We invite you to engage in this insightful conversation and to share this episode with your friends.

We will explore how a couple can build a strong foundation for their marriage during the engagement, the importance of discovering their fiancé's communication style, and the benefits of taking a marriage preparation course that covers the emotional, practical, and spiritual aspects of it.
Chiara explains how couples can foster a deep emotional connection during the engagement phase and the difference between wedding planning and preparing for the sacrament of marriage.

Chiara Degenfeld is joining us again today for part II of the Theology of the Body series. Today's topic, we will address the difficult topic of porn and how it can affect your relationship.
Chiara discusses some disturbing statistics about porn in men and women; how porn leads to addictive behaviour and distortion of the perception of pleasure. She explores how porn addiction typically starts and how to address porn in a relationship. She shares experiences of how people can overcome porn addiction, how to establish open communication with one's partners, seeking help and the path to recovery. Finally, Chiara discusses how parents can address porn with their children and how to create a safe environment where children feel free to communicate openly with parents about porn on social networks and devices.

In this episode, we dive into the difference between self-development and holiness within the Catholic tradition. While self-development focuses on personal achievements and self-fulfilment, we discuss why this alone is not enough to truly satisfy someone's life. Instead, we explore the path of holiness - an invitation to grow in our unique personalities while striving to become more like Jesus.
Throughout the conversation, we address the potential pitfalls of self-development when pursued in isolation, such as envy or comparison, and highlight the transformative power of holiness in cultivating inner peace and purpose. We emphasise that holiness doesn't mean losing our individuality but enhancing it through a deeper relationship with Christ.
By the end of this episode, we hope you'll understand that the goal is not perfectionism but a genuine commitment to living according to Christ's teachings and that true success is found not in worldly achievements but in the ongoing spiritual journey of becoming the person God calls us to be.

Your body expresses who you are. In today's podcast we discuss why desires are good. We explore how we can become addicted to our desires or reject them or we can practise virtuous desire. We discuss how we all crave a state of peace in which your sexual desires and actions are aligned with your ideals. Chiara shares with us practical ways to make this a reality. This leads to joy and peace as our actions and intentions become one and the same through daily practise.

Do you ever listen to conversion stories and wish you could experience a similar transformation? Is our approach to belief too reductionist, where the Gospel is a biography and the psalms akin to inspirational quotes. In this week’s podcast, we discuss how we can learn from the early Christian communities and the role of Scripture in their lives. We explore why Scripture can be:
- Like digesting one’s food, with are 3 stages
- A source of direction and inspiration
- A truth-telling exercise for each person
- God speaking to me

What does it take to live a happier life? In this episode, Dr. Marta Rocchi suggests the answer to this question addresses the very “why” of human existence. How we often confuse happiness with comfort and pleasure but in fact, it is so much more. We explore why the Ancient Greeks had it so right and why gratitude, friendships, enjoyment, and acceptance of oneself as a work in progress are all part of our personal flourishing.

"Finding your passion and finding a profession in it" are some of the ways that describe Chris Parreno's job as a calligraphist. While it sounds like a dream, many women experience guilt when sensing the discontent that led Chris to seek something more and find her passion.
In this episode, we will discuss why you should explore hobbies that can help you feel more fulfilled in life, how to learn to enjoy the process and expect to make mistakes every time you start something new. We will also dip into;
- the value of human work and connections,
- the importance of beauty and art, and
- whether there is still room for manual work in a society that values agility and efficiency.
The final part of our conversation explores faith and the god given power of creation.
We invite you to join us in a dialogue that will inspire you to seek more meaning in your daily life.

While Easter weekend has passed, the reflections and meaning of this date must remain in our Hearts and Minds. Grace is God's life within us and we want to remind you of this.
In this podcast episode, Maire and Siobhan discuss the credibility of Easter as seen in the early accounts of Easter in the Gospels and the disbelief of the early followers of Christ.
We explore the craziness of our Catholic faith whose crowning feast is man putting God to death and God's coming back to life. We discuss how that very central message requires unpacking among our peers. We explore the transformative power Easter can have on each of us and the magnificence of the Easter liturgy which we can reflect and pray about in the 50 days of the Easter celebration.
We invite you to engage in this dialogue to reflect on the transformative power of Easter in your own life. Though this episode was recorded during Lent, its message resonates far beyond the Easter weekend.
