Good afternoon, Radio Boise listeners! As the saying goes, "Judge not lest ye operate on faulty conclusions" Right? Anyway, judgment itself isn't inherently problematic, and it is contingent upon the assessment we used to arrive at the final judgment that is crucial. These assessments can be flawed or nonexistent, leading to harsh, rigid judgments. When this happens, it can adversely affect interactions and relationships. Tune in today at 4 pm MST to KRBX, Radio Boise - 89.9/93.5 FM, and don't judge as we explore how we arrive at judgments and how to improve that process and how we use judgments to our benefit.

Good afternoon, Radio Boise listeners - we promise we're waving a green flag right now. We all have behaviors and conditions within our relationships that we will not tolerate. Or that's what we tell ourselves, at least. These red flags and deal breakers may be based on personal experience, what our parents modeled for us, what we've learned from friends, media, or therapy; or they might just be based on gut feeling. They may not be as absolute or simple as we'd like, and what happens if we don't know how to address them? Tune in today at 4 pm MST to KRBX, Radio Boise - 89.9/93.5 FM and listen as we explore what these are and some ideas to manage them.

Good morning, Radio Boise listeners! One of our early ½ hour shows over three years ago was on apologies, but being only 30 minutes, we were rushed. Sorry about that. A year ago this week we did a show on boundaries and repair, and last July we talked about sympathy and empathy. So, today at 4pm MST, we bring to you All Apologies: Beyond the All!
It’s a working title…
Tune in to the most contrite episode yet on KRBX, Radio Boise - 89.9/93.5 FM!

If you caught today's episode about navigating differences in relationship philosophy, you heard us talk about how it's okay to part ways if we're being honest and thoughtful about it. Anyway, here's A way to do that. We wouldn't recommend it, at least not as a first option, but it's an option.
