What if the tension in your relationships isn’t actually about the other person — but about patterns you learned long before you realized it?

In this powerful and deeply practical conversation, licensed Marriage & Family Therapist Marc Cameron joins us to unpack attachment styles — how they form in childhood, how they quietly drive conflict in adulthood, and how secure attachment can actually be earned later in life.
From marriage and parenting to leadership, faith, and emotional regulation, this episode connects the dots between why we react the way we do and how to break unhelpful cycles for good.
Mark is a co-host of New Life Live, the largest Christian counseling call-in radio show in the country, and the author of Understanding Your Attachment Style. Whether you’re married, single, dating, leading a team, or raising kids, this episode will help you better understand yourself — and the people you love.

✨ In this episode, we discuss:

What attachment styles are and why everyone has one
The 4 insecure attachment styles (Avoider, Pleaser, Vacillator, Disorganized)
What secure attachment actually looks like
Why triggers are usually about the past — not the present
How attachment styles show up in marriage, parenting, work, and leadership
Why “just communicate better” doesn’t work
How faith intersects with attachment and emotional healing
How to earn secure attachment as an adult
What to look for when choosing a spouse (without over-analyzing everything)
This episode is for anyone who wants healthier relationships, deeper connection, and real tools — not just theory.

In today’s episode, I sit down with therapist, author, and all-around brilliant human Jason, whose work spans trauma recovery, relationships, high performers, and helping people finally get unstuck.

Jason opens up about his years working with everyone from child soldiers to Navy SEALs to everyday couples who feel trapped in the same painful patterns. We walk through the real process of getting unstuck — not the vague “do the work” advice, but the actual steps: connecting past experiences to present behavior, understanding your narrative, grieving what you hoped life would be, and creating a new story that moves you forward.

Whether you’re navigating marriage challenges, struggling with unmet expectations, or trying to grow without losing yourself, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

In this heartfelt episode of The Something New Show, Mindi Linscombe sits down with her longtime friends Russ and Jackie Miller, pastors, parents of five, and fellow ministry leaders. Together, they open up about the joys and challenges of two decades of marriage, raising kids, and leading a church—all while learning how to create rhythms that keep their family grounded in faith and connection.

From the story of how Russ became the senior pastor of his home church at just 25, to navigating the chaos of raising five children in seven years, the Millers share their honest reflections on what has worked (and what hasn’t) in their marriage and family life.

You’ll hear practical wisdom about:

• 🌿 Why Sabbath rhythms can reset your home and heart
• 🙏 How nightly prayer and going to bed at the same time has strengthened their marriage
• 🍽️ What a simple Friday night family Sabbath dinner really looks like (chaos included!)
• 💡 The power of blessing your kids and praying over them as vision-casting
• 🔄 How to reset family rhythms when life feels overwhelming
• 🕊️ Why flexibility, humility, and repentance matter more than perfection in parenting

This is a conversation for anyone who’s ever wondered: “How do we keep our family healthy when life and work never slow down?” The Millers’ story will encourage you that it’s never too late to create rhythms that bring rest, connection, and joy back into your home.

• How to grieve honestly while still holding on to hope
• Practical ways to help your kids stay resilient through setbacks
• The power of modeling emotional health, gentle words, and forgiveness in your home
