162: How Intentional Living Changes Your Marriage, Business, and Legacy (Part 2)
6d ago00:20:10Tap to summarizeComplacency rarely happens overnight. It builds slowly through distraction, avoidance, busyness, and the small decisions that pull us away from the life we actually want to live. In Part 2 of this conversation, Megan and Marty Hofmann move from awareness into action as they unpack what it practically looks like to “kill complacency” and begin living with intentionality in marriage, parenting, business, and personal growth. Marty shares the practical shifts he and his wife made after recognizing the disconnect that had formed in their relationship. From intentional date nights and marriage conferences to restructuring priorities and becoming emotionally present, this conversation highlights how small, consistent choices create lasting transformation over time. Megan also shares how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the pressure to appear “put together” impacted her relationships and parenting journey. Together, they discuss the importance of feedback, emotional regulation, apologizing to your children, and creating safe conversations that lead to healing instead of defensiveness. The conversation also expands into entrepreneurship and leadership, where Marty explains how complacency shows up in business through avoidance, lack of structure, poor financial awareness, and failure to track the details that matter. His message is clear: intentionality compounds over time, and the life you want is built through consistent action, not wishful thinking. In this episode, you’ll hear: - Practical ways to move from complacency into intentionality - How to rebuild emotional connection in marriage - Why intentional rhythms matter in family life - The importance of feedback, ownership, and repair - How childhood patterns impact leadership and relationships - Why reverse engineering your desired legacy matters - How complacency quietly affects entrepreneurship and business growth - The role of consistency in building the life you want Marty also shares details about his upcoming book, Kill Complacency, where each chapter begins with personal stories and lessons on intentional living, growth, and overcoming drift. This episode is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to change direction. You are not disqualified because you drifted. Awareness creates the opportunity to choose differently.

6d ago00:16:55Tap to summarizeWhat if the greatest threat to your life isn’t failure… but complacency? In Part 1 of this powerful conversation, Megan sits down with entrepreneur, author, and podcast host Marty Hofmann to talk about the subtle drift that happens when we stop living intentionally. From growing up as one of ten children on an Iowa farm to building businesses, raising six kids, and navigating marriage, Marty shares how complacency often hides beneath productivity, responsibility, and success. This episode explores the difference between simply providing for the people we love and truly being present with them. Marty vulnerably shares the moment his wife confronted him about the emotional disconnect in their marriage and how that conversation became a wake-up call that changed the direction of his life. Megan and Marty also dive into how childhood experiences shape emotional patterns, communication, perfectionism, avoidance, and the difficulty many people have receiving feedback without defensiveness. Together, they unpack how intentionality becomes the key to healing relationships, breaking unhealthy cycles, and building a life aligned with your values. This conversation is honest, practical, and deeply relatable for anyone who feels disconnected, stuck in autopilot, or hungry for deeper connection in marriage, parenting, business, or personal growth. In this episode, you’ll hear: - Why complacency is often subtle rather than obvious - The difference between laziness and emotional drift - How childhood experiences impact adult relationships - Why many people struggle to receive feedback - The power of emotional awareness and healthy communication - How intentional conversations can transform relationships - Why presence matters more than performance This episode is a reminder that awareness is not failure. It’s the beginning of change.

2w ago00:32:39Tap to summarizeWhat if the reason you still feel stuck… isn’t because you haven’t tried hard enough? What if it’s because you’ve been trying to heal in a way your body was never designed to? In this powerful and honest episode, Megan Babcock opens up about the years she spent in counseling feeling like she was doing everything “right” but still not experiencing the freedom she longed for. Week after week, she showed up, talked through the same patterns, and walked away feeling more emotionally activated instead of less. Not because counseling is wrong. Not because support doesn’t matter. But because something deeper was missing. This conversation gently challenges the idea that talking alone is enough to heal trauma and introduces a deeper, more integrated understanding of how the brain, body, and nervous system actually work together in the healing process. Megan shares how trauma is not just something we think about, but something we carry in the body. When the nervous system is activated, the brain shifts into survival mode, making it difficult to process, integrate, or move forward. Instead of resolving experiences, we can unintentionally relive them, which keeps us stuck in the same cycles. Through her own story, Megan invites you into a different approach—one rooted in curiosity instead of judgment, and presence instead of pressure. You’ll learn how slowing down and turning toward your internal experience, rather than avoiding it, can begin to unlock understanding and create real change. Megan walks through the moment everything shifted for her when she stopped trying to push through and instead became willing to look deeper. This episode introduces the concept of Sacred Presence, a way of showing up for yourself and others that creates safety in the body and allows the nervous system to regulate. When safety is present, clarity becomes available. And when clarity is available, you can begin to make aligned decisions that move your life forward. You’ll also be introduced to the power of co-regulation, the science-backed reality that we are wired for connection and that healing often happens in the presence of someone who feels safe, grounded, and calm. This kind of presence does not fix or force change, but instead creates the conditions where healing can naturally unfold. Megan also shares simple but powerful tools you can begin using right away, including three questions designed to help you move through moments of activation with greater awareness and intention. These questions help you move beyond surface-level reactions and into deeper understanding so you can respond instead of react. This episode is an invitation to stop asking “What is wrong with me?” and begin asking better questions that lead to clarity, healing, and forward movement. If you have ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated in your healing journey, this conversation will help you understand why—and more importantly, what you can do next.

3w ago00:27:21Tap to summarizeA diagnosis can change your life, but it doesn’t have to end your purpose. In Part 2 of this conversation with Sarah Fox, we move beyond the moment of crisis and into the journey of rebuilding, redefining identity, and discovering how pain can become something meaningful. After walking through the shock of her diagnosis and the emotional weight that followed, Sarah shares what it actually looked like to begin moving forward—slowly, intentionally, and often in ways she never expected. This part of the conversation is about what happens after the moment everything changes. Sarah opens up about the early days of adjusting to medication, creating new routines, and learning how to care for her mental health in a sustainable way. She also shares how a simple idea—to help others understand what she had learned—eventually grew into something much bigger than she imagined: her podcast, Rough Edges. What began as hesitation and self-doubt became a platform for healing, connection, and honest conversations about faith and mental health. Together, we explore: - How to move forward when life doesn’t look the way you expected - Why your “why” matters more than your fear - The connection between identity, healing, and purpose - How faith and mental health can coexist without shame - The role of community, support, and honest conversations in long-term healing We also step into an important and often unspoken conversation about the church—why mental health is still stigmatized, how well-meaning responses can sometimes cause harm, and what it could look like to create safer, more supportive spaces for people who are struggling. This episode is not about having everything figured out. It’s about learning to take the next step and recognizing that healing isn’t always instant—and that purpose isn’t always loud or visible. Sometimes, purpose looks like getting through the day. Sometimes, it looks like choosing to care for yourself. And sometimes, it grows into something that reaches further than you ever imagined. Sarah’s story is a reminder that what feels like a breaking point can become the very thing that gives your voice depth, meaning, and impact. If this conversation resonated with you, take a moment to reflect on your own story. There is more being built in your life than you can see right now. And your story might be the very thing someone else needs to hear. About Sarah: She is a Christian woman who empowers others to embrace hope in a world that says otherwise.

3w ago00:26:04Tap to summarizeThere are moments in life when everything you believed about yourself, your future, and even your faith is suddenly shaken. In this deeply honest and powerful conversation, we step into Sarah Fox’s story, a journey that begins with a life rooted in faith and creativity, and shifts dramatically when she experiences a manic episode that leads to hospitalization and a diagnosis she never saw coming. What unfolds is not just a story about mental health. It’s a story about identity, fear, anger, faith, and the quiet questions many people carry but don’t feel safe enough to ask out loud. Sarah vulnerably shares what it was like to experience mania, psychosis, and the confusion of losing a sense of reality, all while trying to reconcile what was happening in her mind with what she believed about God. She takes us into the moment she received her diagnosis in a hospital room, describing the shock, the lack of emotional support, and the weight of a label she didn’t yet understand. But what makes this conversation so powerful is not just what happened—it’s how she navigated it. Together, we explore: - What it feels like when your emotions become overwhelming and your thoughts won’t slow down - The intersection of faith and mental health, and why so many struggle to hold space for both - The tension of feeling angry at God while still longing for His presence - The role of support systems, routines, and holistic care in the healing process - Why a diagnosis is information, not identity This episode creates space for something many people have never been given permission to do: be honest about what they’re feeling while still holding onto hope. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, confused by your emotions, or unsure how your faith fits into your healing journey, this conversation will meet you right where you are. As this part of Sarah’s story closes, we’re left at a powerful turning point—the moment where pain, questions, and uncertainty begin to open the door to something more. In Part 2, we’ll continue the journey as Sarah shares how she moved forward, found her voice, and began using her story to make a difference.

4w ago00:27:45Tap to summarizeWhat happens after the breaking point? In Part 2, we walk with Maria into the turning point of her story—the place where honesty began to replace silence, and where healing slowly started to take root. This is where her story shifts from surviving to rebuilding, from despair to rediscovering hope. Maria shares what it looked like to begin again after everything felt lost. Through honest conversations, supportive relationships, and a willingness to face what she had been avoiding, she started to reconnect with truth. She opens up about the role of faith in her healing, what it meant to surrender the thoughts that were keeping her stuck, and how understanding her experience through a new lens changed everything. This part of the conversation is a reminder that healing doesn’t happen all at once—it happens in moments of courage, in choosing to stay, in allowing yourself to be seen, and in learning how to receive support. It’s also a powerful invitation: that no matter how far someone feels they’ve fallen, there is still a way forward. As you listen, reflect on your own journey.

4w ago00:27:39Tap to summarizeThere are moments in life when what we’re carrying becomes too heavy to hold alone—when the thoughts we don’t understand begin to take over, and the weight of it all feels suffocating. In this episode, we step into Maria Morgan’s story—a journey marked by anxiety, depression, and the quiet struggles that so often go unseen. Maria shares how her experience with anxiety began long before she had language for it. What started as physical symptoms and confusion slowly unfolded into something deeper, especially after a car accident that left her carrying both emotional and mental weight she didn’t yet know how to process. As life continued, the pressure of caregiving, expectations, and internal comparison only intensified what she was already battling. This part of her story is raw and honest. It brings us into the moments where everything felt like too much—the isolation, the overwhelm, and the places where hope felt distant. Maria vulnerably shares about the season that led to her suicide attempts, offering insight into what it feels like when your mind turns against you and you don’t know how to find your way out. And yet, even here, there is something powerful—because naming the darkness is often the first step toward healing. As you listen, allow yourself to sit with her story. Notice what resonates. Notice what it brings up in you. If this episode speaks to you, share it with someone who may be silently struggling. You never know how one conversation could open the door to healing.About Maria: Maria I.

Apr 1700:26:11Tap to summarizeHave you ever felt like you’re trying to love the “right” way… but instead of peace, you feel drained, confused, or even hurt? In this episode, Megan shares a deeply personal and powerful journey of what it looks like to misunderstand love—and how that misunderstanding can lead to self-abandonment, unhealthy relationships, and emotional exhaustion. Through her own story of navigating a failing marriage, people-pleasing, and striving to earn love, Megan unpacks how she began to relearn love through the lens of Jesus—a love that is not rooted in fear, performance, or tolerance of dysfunction, but in truth, clarity, and connection. This episode will help you understand the difference between: - Love and self-abandonment - Forgiveness and tolerance of harm - Truth and spiritual bypassing And most importantly… how to begin loving in a way that brings freedom, not bondage.

Apr 1000:25:12Tap to summarizeIn today’s episode of the "It's Your Story to Tell" podcast, I’m diving deep into the true meaning of forgiveness. For years, I lived with a limited view of what forgiveness really means: one that led me to endure harm, set no boundaries, and misunderstand God’s intentions. But as I studied scripture and brought my questions before God, everything began to shift. I want to share my journey of discovering that forgiveness isn't about mindlessly checking boxes or staying in harmful relationships. Jesus modeled forgiveness with a deep, relational understanding that goes beyond what we often hear. It's not about enabling others to harm us but about releasing the debt, trusting God with justice, and healing from past wounds. If you’re struggling with forgiveness, whether for yourself or someone else, this episode will challenge you to rethink how you approach this important part of your faith journey. Join me as I explore the deeper truths of scripture and share how boundaries, wisdom, and God’s voice lead us into true healing and freedom.About the Host: Megan Babcock is the founder of It’s Your Story to Tell.
