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.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Why black-and-white thinking can sabotage your relationships
• How to recognize the difference between guilt (healthy) and shame (destructive)
• Practical steps for pulling yourself out of a shame spiral
• How to acknowledge both progress and problems in your relationship
• The role of humility and why it’s essential for growth
• How our past experiences shape emotional reactions to conflict
