ur courageous coach Fiona is out there walking into five businesses a day just to practice connecting with people (and getting comfortable with a "no" along the way). Even the Wednesday caller who got a "no" from his old boss ended up moving to Houston and loving it here!⁣ ⁣ Moral of the story: every closed door might just be pointing you toward a bigger one.⁣ ⁣

Gas prices, food prices, property taxes… life can pile it on sometimes. So today we played a little game called “Yes, And” to flip the script and keep things positive.⁣

We wanted to shine a light on Camp Hope, an incredible organization helping veterans battle combat-related PTSD completely free of charge.⁣ ⁣ David joined the show to explain how it works: peer-to-peer support, licensed counselors, equine therapy, and a real community of fellow combat vets who understand what our heroes have been through. Six to nine months of real healing, not just a weekend retreat.⁣ ⁣ It costs the veteran nothing but their time, all because of a community that shows up for our troops in a real way. Right here in Houston, there's truly nothing else like it in the world.⁣

Dr. Basu, President of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, discusses what patients really want from aesthetic and reconstructive surgery—confidence, balance, and a more authentic version of themselves. He also covers the organization’s mission around patient advocacy and ethics, plus practical guidance like choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon and doing homework before and after consultations.

Fiona explains how practicing positivity instead of criticism can shift the dynamics in family relationships, especially when stress rises. She shares practical strategies like daily morning reflection/meditation, using calming comfort routines, and intentionally noticing and acknowledging good actions—plus advice on giving “pure” praise.

Courageous coach Fiona explains how trauma and relationships are linked, and how faith can be misused to control partners—especially through misapplied passages like Ephesians 5. The conversation covers types of abuse, recovery steps, and practical coaching approaches for healing and accountable marriage leadership.

Light cannot be put out by darkness — it's the presence of light that gets rid of it. Some people will look for the 1% error just to talk you out of the 99% you're doing right. Don't let them. Take the small step anyway.
