All Things Marriage with Dr. Chavonne

In this episode, I break down why your progress towards your goals and desires can feel slow at the end of the year—even when you’ve been trying, growing, and taking the necessary steps.I explore the two very different conversations women tend to have with themselves when the things they expected or wanted to happen have not taken place yet.One is the honest, data-driven look at what may have been missing—clarity, belief, direction, or support. The other is a more grounded, self-led perspective that asks a deeper question: Who am I becoming in the process of wanting this?You’ll hear why stalled progress isn’t usually a motivation problem—and why giving up often comes from misunderstanding what real change actually requires. I share how I personally continue toward my own goals using the Well Made Woman process, and why I see it not as a finish-line mentality, but as a way of life.This episode is for the woman who doesn’t want to abandon what she wants—but also doesn’t want to relate to her goals through pressure, shame, or blaming others.If you’ve been wondering whether you missed something… or whether you’re simply still in the middle of becoming—this conversation will help you see your progress more clearly and decide how you want to move forward.And if you'd like to join us inside Your Well Made Woman Year 2026, here's the link:https://drchavonne.com/wmwy2026/And to join the full Well Made Woman Program, go here: https://drchavonne.com/wmw/

In this follow-up to last week’s episode, I’m sharing my side of A God Move—the powerful story my husband told about a life-changing encounter with a total stranger.In this conversation, I open up about what was happening in my own world at that time, why his experience felt like divine confirmation, and how it represented an immediate answered prayer.This moment reminded me that nothing in life is random. Even when you can’t see how things are coming together, God is already working for your good.If you’ve been waiting for a sign that hope is not lost—this episode will speak to your heart and strengthen your faith that it all truly works out for you.

Today we’re celebrating 300 episodes of the podcast, and this conversation feels like one of the most meaningful ones I’ve ever shared.In this episode, I’m taking you inside my own marriage to tell you a story that changed everything — one I call a God Move. It’s a story of divine timing, healing, and how God can use the most unexpected people and moments to remind us that He sees us, He hears us, and He’s always working for our good.You’ll hear my husband share his own life-changing encounter — how a complete stranger spoke words that shifted how he saw himself as a man and as a partner.The first time I heard him tell it, I cried for hours. It was that powerful.Listen in to hear this story directly from him — and then come back next week when I’ll break down exactly why I call this a God Move, and what it revealed to me about love, faith, and transformation inside marriage.
