This couch isn’t for perfect people.

Or for people who have it all together.
With their lives all perfectly organized,
For people with all the answers.
(although they're welcome too!)

It’s for people who are tired.
Who are seeking and trying,
People who want things to be different.

If that’s you…

There’s a place for you here.

I thought I would share a funny experience that I've had as a business owner of 2+ years.

Last year I received not one… but TWO phone calls from people wanting help with their water wells.

Like… on their property. With pumps. And pipes. 😅

While I can’t fix your groundwater system, I can help with anxiety, marriage struggles, stress, and the kind of “running on empty” that doesn’t involve plumbing.

At Made Well Counseling, we don’t work on water wells… but we do care deeply about helping people become well.

If you need counseling—not a pump repair—I’m your guy.

Valentine's Day is about celebrating love, buying flowers, and enjoying restaurant reservations without kids....if you're lucky!

And while there are so many ways to celebrate love and keep our relationship alive, attachment research with couples consistently shows that what keeps couples connected is how they respond to one another on a moment by moment basis.

It's not about mastering communication skills.
It's not about buying the most expensive flowers.
It's not about saying 5 positive statements per day.

It's about tuning into one another and "dancing" together day in and day out. Sue Johnson famous developed the A.R.E. framework which you can read more about in the book Hold Me Tight, and this framework helps couples assess their relationship and re-align their priorities.

So this weekend, celebrate your love any way you can. Go on the fancy date! Spend lavishly on gifts for one another! But remember the most important questions we all need answered in relationships are these:

Are you there for me?
When I need you, are you near?
Will you come when I call?
Will you stay close to me even when it gets difficult?

There’s something powerful about watching couples choose their marriage.

Last weekend I had the honor of leading a marriage retreat in Huntsville, Alabama with Magnify Ministries / The Chapel Hill Church of Christ — and over 20 couples showed up ready to listen, learn, and experience greater connection.

We explored what love really means.
We practiced how to respond in conflict instead of react.
We talked about how to keep love alive long after the retreat ends.

And here’s something speakers don’t always say:
I’m usually the one who leaves most encouraged.

Watching couples do the work in real time by listening differently, softening toward each other, and fighting for connection instead of against each other is a gift. Every. single. time.

If your church, ministry, or organization is looking for a marriage speaker or retreat leader, I’d love to connect.

“Between the stimulus and response, there is a space… In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our responses.” - Viktor Frankl, 1946

That space may only last a few seconds, but it can be the difference between a positive and negative outcome.

- It’s the pause before the angry text back.
- The breath before responding with sarcasm or anger.
- The moment you notice, “I’m getting upset right now.”

We can’t always control what happens to us. We can’t control other people’s moods, choices, or words. But in that small space between what hits us and how we react, we get a say.

And that’s where growth lives.

Every time you slow down enough to choose curiosity over defensiveness…honesty over avoidance…calm over chaos…you’re strengthening emotional muscles that lead to real freedom.

Today, if you feel activated, try this:
Pause. Breathe. Ask, “What response would the healthiest version of me choose right now?”

That small space is small but powerful.

Thankful for Telehealth on a day like today!

With weather conditions in the area continuing to be treacherous, Made Well Counseling will be operating via telehealth for the next day or two.

I hope you are staying safe and/or enjoying extra time at home!

*DROPS MIC* Exits the stage.
Slowly re-enters stage to pick up mic and apologize.

“This is for all the insecure kids. This is for the adults who feel like they’re a kid at the grownups table. This is for all of you who don’t fit in. For all of you who feel like you tricked everyone into thinking you’re a normal human being. For those who don’t feel you’re enough … cool enough … smart enough … important enough… My name is Brad and I know these feelings well. You’re not alone. Fight on. Keep going. You matter.”

Made Well Counseling will switch to Telehealth AS NEEDED and you'll be notified of any changes. I'll continue to respond to all emails and phone calls.

Judging by news reports, the picture below represents what Henry County will look like starting this weekend.

Make sure you have all the supplies you need to take care of you and your loved ones should the worst come to pass!
