A proposito di questo titolo

 Like all couples, NeuroDiverse (AS/NT) Christian couples face challenges with communication and connection. Those challenges are nuanced in a way that most couples, therapists, and clergy don't typically recognize. Often NeuroDiverse Couples have children on the spectrum (or or other differences), this podcast will dedicate topics to the NeuroDiverse Couple as well as issues that may arise in spectrum or special needs family systems. We invite you to learn about NeuroDiverse Christian couples to understand those aspects more fully.2021+ Dr. Stephanie and Dan Holmes Igiene e vita sana Psicologia Psicologia e salute mentale

  • When Pride & Shame Heal, Love Grows

    When Pride & Shame Heal, Love Grows
    Feb 23 2026
    February is the month of love- what is real love- real hesed- sacrificial love? How did Adam love Eve?

    Today is not our usual crew, but a discussion with guest Russell Grigsby about a book that radically changed his mindset about loving his wife well.

    In this episode of Just the Guys, Dan sits down with entrepreneur and executive coach Russell Grigsby to talk about late-in-life autism diagnosis, trauma, pride, and the hard work of rebuilding a marriage. Russell shares how childhood wounds, avoidant attachment, and unrecognized autism shaped his relationships — and how confronting shame, embracing humility, and rethinking biblical leadership transformed his life at home. Through books, prayer, coaching, and intentional growth, he learned to stop trying to fix his spouse and instead take responsibility for his own healing. The result is a marriage marked by safety, connection, and hope. This conversation is an honest look at what happens when a man chooses humility over defensiveness and growth over comfort.

    Books Mentioned:
    • Mending the Soul Groups found at: MendingthesoulFind a Group

    • Adam loves Eve

    • Escaping Enemy Mode

    • Brene Brown's books on Shame and Vulnerability

    About Russell:

After receiving an MBA from SMU in 1982, Russell began his career in commercial banking in Austin, Texas. After six years in banking, he joined a series of startups as CFO.
