School is back in session for Season 5!

Christan and Tarrah explore why so many of our modern connections are suffering from a "system problem" rather than a "you problem." We’re breaking down why R&B music changed, how to handle the "left on read" anxiety, and the biblical blueprint for handling conflict without losing your peace (or your friends).

This week’s homework: We challenge you to name your emotions this week instead of just "feeling some type of way." Listen in for the full 5-day breakdown!

As the year comes to a close, Christan and Tarrah reflect on what it truly means to protect your peace... beyond the buzzwords.

The episode closes with a faith-based reflection on leaving to heal:

Perfect for anyone navigating family dynamics, friendship shifts, or personal growth during the holidays.

• Setting boundaries during the holidays

• Recognizing manipulation and control

• Why protecting your peace isn’t selfish

• Self-preservation in creativity and purpose

• Letting go of people, habits, or environments
