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.Timestamps:00:00 – Intro02:53 – Why relationships are the lifeblood of our lives03:03 – Why people stay stuck06:10 – How to trace your “stuck” feeling back to a past moment08:42 – Being “too much” — and how context changes everything11:15 – Choices in marriage and what healthy people do13:04 – “Can I love someone at their own pace?”14:58 – Why safety is required before change happens16:13 – Grieving the dream you didn't get18:19 – When making peace is not settling19:20 – What to do when someone won’t meet you halfway20:07 – Changing your narrative and being open to changing it again21:09 – Why cringing at your past is actually a sign of growthConnect with Jason:📸 Instagram: jason.vanruler📹 Website: www.jasonvr.com🎵 Facebook: Jason VanRuler📩 Buy the book: https://a.co/d/6uPl173Connect with Us:📸 Instagram: @thesomethingnewshow📹 YouTube: The Something New Show🎵 TikTok: @thesomethingnewshow📩 Join my email list for updates + encouragement: https://jordanandmindi.comConnect with our sponsor Something Blue 30A! 🏖️ 📸 Instagram: @somethingblue30aThanks for listening!
