3744 How to Turn Doubt into Your Secret Weapon
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Doubt is the silent killer of dreams—it sneaks in, freezes your progress, and whispers that you’re not enough. Every ambitious person faces it, but most let it derail their path to success. Here’s the brutal truth: if you don’t learn how to turn doubt into your secret weapon, it will keep robbing you of your potential. Doubt creeps in—subtle, sneaky, and relentless. Every ambitious person faces it. The crushing question: “Am I really cut out for this?” It shows up when the stakes rise, when your goals feel just out of reach, or when you stare at a blank page wondering if you...

3743 The One Who Trusts in the Lord
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” ~ Jeremiah 17:7-8 When life seems like it's unraveling, trusting God changes everything. Sometimes life looks like a tangled knot—so twisted and confusing you can’t tell front from back. You’re walking through a season where everything feels upside down: plans fall apart, circumstances feel...

3742 When Love Makes You Feel Capable, Not Crazy
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Marriage is meant to be a sanctuary—a place where you feel seen, supported, and capable of facing anything life throws your way. But all too often, the daily grind, the chaos of schedules, and the relentless overwhelm shift your marriage from a source of strength to a pressure cooker of frustration. Instead of feeling like a teammate, you may start to feel misunderstood and undervalued. It doesn't have to be this way—when love makes you feel capable, not crazy. That's when the entire dynamic changes. You move from surviving the chaos to thriving together, building a solid foundation that...

3741 No More Boredom Battles
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Mom and Dad, let’s be real—summer can feel like a never-ending battlefield. You hear it countless times: “I’m bored!”—as if boredom is some mysterious monster your kids are fighting every single day. No more boredom battles. But here’s the twist: many kids don’t truly know what boredom means these days. With screens and tech gadgets vying for their attention 24/7, boredom often becomes a code word for “I want someone else to entertain me.” Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3740 You are Worth the Fight!
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Do you want more or something different, but struggle to keep that fire flickering? Maybe it’s dim. Maybe it’s drowned out by doubt. But it’s there — that restless urge for something better, bigger, truer to who you really are. You are worth the fight! Here’s the raw truth — no one ever started a real change when everything was perfect. Life is messier than that. Focus feels impossible when the world is pulling you every which way. Your to-do list is screaming, expectations are piling, your energy tanks are empty, and your brain keeps finding every excuse to wait. You’re not...

3739 What Needs to be a BIG Deal?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When it comes to healthy living, it’s all too easy to get caught up in the endless list of “must-dos” and “should-haves.” Drink more water, eat kale, get 10,000 steps, meditate daily, sleep eight hours, cut out sugar, do strength training, track your macros, avoid screens before bed — the list feels relentless. And that’s exactly where many good intentions go to die: in the overwhelming noise of “all the things.” But what needs to be a BIG deal? Life isn’t about juggling everything perfectly all the time. It’s about identifying what truly needs to be a BIG...

3738 Don't You Dare Dim Your Light
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life will try hard to drag you into the daily swirl of other people’s agendas, distractions, and endless to-do lists that don’t even belong to you. It’s easy — dangerously easy — to lose sight of your own purpose and settle for the scraps left over after you’ve tried to manage everyone else’s priorities. Don't you dare dim your light. Why? Because you deserve better. You deserve more than the hand-me-down ambitions and borrowed dreams that drain your energy and silence your spark.

3737 How to Quiet Your Mind
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
If your brain is a noisy, cluttered mess, you won’t get far. Confusion doesn’t just cloud thinking—it demolishes action. And without action, your goals stay out of reach, buried under a pile of distracting thoughts, doubts, and what-ifs. You must learn how to quiet your mind. Let’s be real. When you don’t know exactly where you’re headed, the noise in your head hijacks your focus. Suddenly, every worry, outside opinion, or shiny distraction screams louder than your ambition. You start chasing the wrong things—or worse, you freeze. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other...

3736 Faith Over Fear
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
“The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?” — Psalm 118:6 (KJV) At first glance, this verse is bold, even audacious. It’s a statement packed with strength: when God is by your side, fear of what others think, say, or do loses its grip. Faith over fear. But what does that truly mean outside of Sunday sermons or quiet moments of prayer? What does living with “faith over fear” actually look like day-to-day?

3735 Stop Doing What You Always Want
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Marriage doesn’t come with an instruction manual, and life certainly doesn’t unfold the way we expect it to. You’re dealt unfair cards, opportunities slip through your fingers, and yet — somehow — you keep insisting on having things your way. But what happened to doing life together as a couple? If you want a marriage that lasts, it’s time for a mindset shift: stop always doing what you want. Think about what you do in your marriage now. How do you make decisions? Who makes those decisions? Are they one-sided, or do both of you share your thoughts and ideas? Desire to be...
info_outlineSo long as your past is in the past, you can be present in your marriage. However, many couples struggle because the past is still present. You must stop the madness in your marriage if you want to live happily ever after.
The lingering remnants of our past can cast a long shadow over the present, shaping our relationships in unexpected ways.

Unaddressed traumas, unresolved conflicts, and buried emotions can morph into a looming Mount Everest.
As Kristianne Wargo wisely puts it, "The trash of your past needs to be taken out or it becomes an overwhelming mountain of C.R.A.P. It stinks, it smells, it shackles the heart."
In order to break free from the chains of the past and pave the way for a thriving marriage, it is imperative to confront the buried burdens head-on.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Confront the buried burdens head-on!
If you choose to hide from the past, it will haunt you down and destroy your marriage.
Put on your big girl panties! I know you have the courage to face your past. I understand it won't be easy and you might even uncover some things you didn't think was a big deal.
But the key is to know and understand to the best of your ability, so you can move forward with confidence that your past is simply that-- your past!
Here are three actionable steps that spouses can take to navigate the complexities of their past and cultivate a healthier present for their marriage:
1. Acknowledge and Accept the Past
Self-awareness serves as the first step towards healing. Recognize the impact of past traumas, generational patterns, and unresolved conflicts on your present behavior and relationships. You can't heal what you don't acknowledge. Stop using the excuse of not knowing, and learn what has been holding you back in your past. By confronting those shadows with honesty and vulnerability, you make a way to reach the freedom to love deeper.
2. Break the Old Patterns
A lot of what we carry with us comes from our past experiences, which are fueled by generational patterns. Our parents and grandparents and everyone in between have an influence on how we lead our lives. However, there comes a point in life where we have to look at what is good for us as an individual and then as a couple. By breaking free from the cycle of generational sins, you create space for personal growth and relational harmony.
Author Haruki Murakami, "If you can't understand it without an explanation, you can't understand it with an explanation." In other words, just because it made sense in the past doesn't mean it is right for you in the present.
3. Forgive to Let Go
Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself first. When you forgive, you are giving away what is burying your heart deep in the dungeon of despair. And then, it's that forgiveness that sweeps away the dust bunnies in the nooks and crannies that steals away your courage to heal from the hurts. You can heal, but you have to forgive to let go!
As Kristianne Wargo aptly states, "At some point, you have to face your past so you can be present today."
CHALLENGE: How have you dealt with your past? Or have you?
By embarking on this journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and growth, spouses can unravel the shackles of the past and forge a path toward a more resilient and genuine marriage.
In the timeless words of Maya Angelou, "History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again."
Some things need not be repeated; they must be left in the past and dealt with. Stop the madness in your marriage!
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
