The Cancer No One Talks About
A powerful and eye-opening conversation about the silent wounds of abuse, shame, and trauma that destroy from within—and how truth, compassion, and courage can begin the healing process.
Welcome to the Heal and Restore Podcast with Randy and Cathy Boyd—where we dive into real conversations that help you heal, grow, and strengthen your relationships.
In today’s heartfelt and deeply personal episode, we’re talking about The Cancer No One Talks About—a silent epidemic that’s been destroying lives long before any medical diagnosis. It’s not found in the body, but in the soul. It spreads through secrecy, shame, and silence. And for many, it begins in childhood through abuse, neglect, or trauma that goes unspoken for decades.
We’ll uncover how this hidden “cancer” manifests in our adult lives—through addiction, anger, isolation, and broken relationships—and most importantly, how healing begins when we finally bring truth into the light.
You’ll discover how courage, compassion, and honest conversation can start the healing process—not just for individuals, but for families and communities too.
By the end of today’s episode, you’ll walk away with hope, understanding, and a reminder that while pain can be inherited, so can healing.

You may already know about the five love languages, but what happens when you're speaking love… and your spouse still isn’t feeling it? Or when what used to make them feel cherished no longer seems to land?

In today’s practical and heartfelt episode, we’re talking about “Bridging the Gap: Reconnecting When You’ve Grown Apart.”
Every marriage faces seasons where closeness feels out of reach.

In today’s practical and heartfelt episode, we’re talking about “Unspoken Expectations: How Hidden Assumptions Hurt Marriages.”
Every couple carries expectations into marriage—but not every couple speaks them out loud. Too often, we assume our spouse “should just know,” and when those unspoken assumptions aren’t met, they turn into disappointment, frustration, or even resentment. The truth is, it’s not always the expectations themselves that hurt us—it’s the silence around them.
We’ll unpack how hidden assumptions quietly chip away at connection, why they so often go unnoticed, and how learning to express them openly can protect trust and intimacy. More importantly, we’ll share faith-rooted tools you can start using today to communicate expectations with clarity, listen with empathy, and move toward agreement instead of frustration.

The Power of Listening: Why Hearing Each Other Matters More Than Talking
Welcome to the Heal and Restore Podcast with Randy and Cathy Boyd—where we dive into real conversations that help you heal, grow, and strengthen your relationships.
In today’s heartfelt and practical episode, we’re talking about “The Power of Listening: Why Hearing Each Other Matters More Than Talking.”
So often in marriage, we focus on what we want to say instead of how we need to listen. But true connection is built not when we get our point across—but when our spouse feels understood. Listening with empathy, patience, and presence can transform even the toughest conversations into opportunities for deeper intimacy and trust.
We’ll explore why listening is more powerful than talking, how unspoken needs often fuel conflict, and the simple practices that help you hear your spouse’s heart—not just their words. With faith as our foundation, we’ll share tools you can start using right away to create safety, build trust, and strengthen your emotional bond.
If you’ve ever wished your spouse could really “hear you,” or you want to grow in understanding them, this episode is for you.
If it speaks to your heart, we invite you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who’s ready to deepen their marriage.
Love grows when we listen well—let’s learn how to lean in and truly hear each other.
Every couple has disagreements—but not every couple knows how to navigate them in a way that protects connection and builds trust. Too often, we let misunderstandings spiral into hurt feelings, defensiveness, or silent distance. The truth is, conflict isn’t the enemy—how we handle it makes all the difference.
We’ll unpack why healthy conflict is actually essential for growth, the common “fight traps” that can damage trust, and how to use our C.A.L.M. framework to keep love and respect at the center—even in heated moments.
More importantly, we’ll share faith-rooted tools you can start using today to communicate with clarity, listen with empathy, and move toward each other instead of away.
If you’ve ever wished you could argue less, understand each other more, and still feel close after a disagreement, this episode is for you.
If it speaks to your heart, we invite you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who’s ready to strengthen their relationship.
Conflict is inevitable—but hurtful fighting doesn’t have to be. Let’s learn to fight for our marriage, not against each other.

In today’s insightful and encouraging episode, we’re talking about something that many couples don’t realize they need until things start to unravel: “Why Every Couple Needs a Coach.”
No matter where you are in your relationship—newly married, raising kids, rebuilding after a rough season, or simply wanting to stay strong—having a coach can be the game-changer.
