22. 5 Books That Changed My Marriage & Mindset

If you’re a survivor of abuse trying to rebuild your life or your marriage, you’ve probably turned to self-help hoping something would finally click.

I know I did.

For years, I read book after book thinking I had found the missing piece, only to close it and find myself stuck in the same patterns.

In this episode, I’m sharing five books that genuinely changed how I see myself, my marriage, and what it actually takes to create lasting change.

I walk through:

• The difference between surface-level self-help and principle-based change
• How I stopped seeing myself as powerless in my life and relationships
• What anger and patterns are really trying to show you
• Why shifting your role in a relationship can feel worse before it gets better
• How your past shaped your patterns—and what to do about it now
• What gets in the way of desire and intimacy, and how to better understand it

This episode is really about one core shift: information isn’t what changes your life, application is.
