Today’s episode feels especially vulnerable. I’m inviting you inside a real argument my spouse and I are currently in, one we have not figured out yet. Not a story from the past, not something neatly resolved, but the messy middle of a conflict that feels deeply personal and hard to navigate.
I’m sharing this because so many couples have at least one topic that feels insurmountable, where emotions run high, trust feels shaky, and it seems impossible to talk without things blowing up. In this episode, I walk you through what this kind of argument actually looks like in real life, why these conflicts are so hard to move through, and what we are doing right now to try to handle it differently.
Tune in to discover:
• Why some arguments feel deeply personal and hard to resolve
• How avoidance and defensiveness keep couples stuck in the same cycle
• What it takes to rebuild trust around an off-limits topic
• Why slowing conversations down can create more progress over time
• The role validation and structure play in working through big conflicts

As we head into a new year, I want to talk about what actually creates change in marriage. Not surface level advice, and not big overhauls that feel impossible to maintain, but small, intentional habits that shape how connected, supported, and secure your relationship feels over time.
In this episode, I’m walking you through the four foundational pillars of a healthy marriage and the simple, practical habits that strengthen each one. These are the habits I see make the biggest difference for couples, especially after kids, when time, energy, and patience feel limited. My goal is to help you personalize what works for your marriage so that 2026 feels steadier, more connected, and more supportive than the year before.
Tune in to discover:
• The four pillars every healthy marriage needs to feel good and stay strong
• Why small, consistent habits matter more than big relationship gestures
• Daily and weekly practices that build connection and communication
• The mindset shift that improves conflict without avoiding hard conversations
• Simple ways to reduce resentment and improve the mental load dynamic

This is not about forcing holiday cheer or pushing through for the kids. It is about creating a season that actually works for you and your relationship.
Tune in to discover:
• Why the holidays increase stress and disconnection for so many parents
• How unrealistic expectations quietly fuel resentment and burnout
• Why identifying your priorities changes everything this time of year
• How to stay connected as a team even when emotions are high

If you’re in an anxious avoidant dynamic, you probably know how quickly small moments can turn into big arguments that feel awful for both of you. What most couples do not realize is that these recurring fights are not random at all. They follow a very predictable pattern rooted in your attachment styles, your needs, and the ways you both protect yourselves when things feel vulnerable.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the most common arguments I see anxious avoidant couples have, why they happen, and what is really going on underneath the surface for each partner. These patterns used to show up constantly in my own marriage, and understanding them changed everything. My hope is that this episode gives you clarity, compassion, and a clearer path forward.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
• The most common fights anxious avoidant couples get stuck in
• Why small moments turn into big arguments
• What each partner is really needing in these conflicts
• The hidden patterns driving the tension
• How to begin breaking the cycle together

A few weeks ago I talked about avoidant attachment, but I realized I needed to take you deeper. There are actually two very different forms of avoidant attachment, and understanding the difference can completely change how you interpret your spouse’s behavior and how you respond to it.
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the difference between dismissive avoidant and fearful avoidant attachment, how each one develops, and the specific ways they show up in marriage, especially after kids. I’m also sharing which one my spouse resonates with and how understanding this has changed the way we navigate conflict, emotions, and connection in our relationship.
If your partner withdraws, minimizes emotions, gets overwhelmed by big feelings, or swings between closeness and distance, this episode will help you finally understand why.
Tune in to discover:
• The core fear behind avoidant attachment and why it develops
• Key traits of dismissive avoidant partners and how they show up after kids
• Why fearful avoidant partners crave closeness but also pull away
• How these styles influence conflict, emotions, and communication

There is one tool that has the power to shift the emotional climate of your marriage faster than almost anything else.

But even though it is simple, most couples struggle to use it consistently or effectively after kids.
In today’s episode, I am breaking down why this tool matters so much, what gets in the way of using it, and how to start integrating it into your marriage in a way that feels authentic instead of forced. This one shift can completely transform how connected, supported, and understood you feel.
Tune in to discover:
• Why this tool is one of the strongest protectors against marriage shutdown
• The invisible barriers that keep couples from using it even when they want to

One of the most common dynamics I see in marriage (especially between anxious and avoidant attachment styles) is the push and pull between emotional and physical intimacy. One partner needs emotional closeness before they can be physical, while the other needs physical connection before they can open up emotionally. And this cycle leaves both partners feeling unseen, frustrated, and stuck.
In this episode, I’m breaking down why this happens, what’s really going on underneath the surface, and how to start changing the pattern so you can both get your needs met. You’ll learn how attachment styles play a major role in this dynamic, why neither partner is “wrong” for what they need, and how small shifts in perspective and action can completely change your connection.
Tune in to discover:
• Why emotional and physical intimacy often feel like opposite needs
• How attachment styles shape your comfort with closeness and vulnerability
• What’s really happening when you both feel unmet and misunderstood
• The mindset shift that helps you meet each other’s needs without resentment
• How to rebuild teamwork and connection, even when it feels impossible

Cancel culture started as a way to hold people accountable, but it’s gone too far. The same mindset that demands perfection online is quietly showing up in our marriages, convincing us that if our spouse messes up, they’re toxic, unfixable, or not worth our time.
In this episode, I’m unpacking how cancel culture’s black-and-white thinking can erode the safety and trust that healthy relationships depend on. We’ll talk about the difference between real dealbreakers and normal human mistakes, why repair is so vital, and what it really takes to grow through the inevitable missteps every couple faces.
Tune in to discover:
• How cancel culture’s “no room for mistakes” mindset seeps into marriage
• Why growth, repair, and nuance matter more than getting it perfect
• How to tell the difference between toxic patterns and normal imperfection
• The role of emotional safety when you and your spouse mess up
• What to focus on to build a marriage that lasts through imperfection and repair

If you’ve ever tried to talk to your spouse about the mental load and ended up feeling more frustrated than before, it’s not because you’re doing it wrong. So many couples want to share the load more fairly, but there are hidden barriers that make these conversations stall out or spiral into conflict.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the main reasons why dads often don’t step in, why moms end up carrying it all by default, and what keeps these conversations from moving forward. More importantly, I’ll walk you through how to recognize the specific barriers in your relationship so you can finally shift the dynamic and feel like a team again.
Tune in to discover:
• Why men often don’t recognize the mental load in the first place
• How default “factory settings” after kids leave moms carrying more than their share
• Why asking for help still leaves you holding the invisible weight
• The role of defensiveness in shutting conversations down
• What to focus on instead so you can break the cycle and build more equity at home

So many couples struggle with resentment, overwhelm, and burnout after kids, even when both partners are “doing a lot.” My guest today, Paige Connell, has become a powerful voice on the realities of the mental load, time equity, and the systemic stress that weighs families down. Her candid, relatable storytelling has reached millions, and today she’s breaking down how she and her husband shifted from frustration to fairness in their marriage.
In this conversation, we talk about why it’s not just about who does the chores, but how couples view time, money, and responsibility. Paige shares her own journey of redefining equity at home, why small moments like forgetting to refill the soap carry so much weight, and how to start having conversations that actually move the needle in your relationship. If you’ve ever wondered why it feels like everything defaults to you (and how to change that), this episode is a must-listen.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
• How Paige and her husband faced their own reckoning with the mental load
• Why resentment often builds even when both partners are “helping”
• The hidden weight of time equity and how society undervalues unpaid labor

Fair Play has changed the conversation around mental load for so many couples, and it is an incredible starting point. But after using it myself and walking clients through it, I’ve seen that sometimes it doesn’t go as far as we hope, and it can even leave couples feeling stuck or disappointed.
In this episode, I’m sharing where Fair Play shines, the gaps I’ve noticed, and what else needs to be in place for this tool to actually create the change you want. If you’ve ever tried Fair Play and still felt frustrated, unseen, or like something was missing, this conversation will give you the clarity and tools to move forward.
Tune in to discover:
• Why Fair Play was groundbreaking and why I still recommend it
• The most important gap the system leaves out (and why it matters so much)
• How life circumstances like travel or shift work complicate the system
• Why divvying up tasks is only part of what makes marriage work
• What else your marriage needs beyond Fair Play to truly thrive

If you want to prevent resentment, reduce conflict, and protect your peace as a parent, one of the most powerful skills you can build is setting boundaries.
I know boundaries can feel confusing, even controversial. Maybe they’ve been used against you in the past, or maybe you’ve thought of them as walls or ultimatums. But the truth is, healthy boundaries are what allow you to show up as your best self, feel emotionally safe, and create a marriage that actually feels good after kids.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the exact boundaries that protect your marriage from resentment and burnout, plus how to put them into place in a way that feels kind, loving, and effective.
Tune in to discover:
• What we so often get wrong about boundaries
• The 5 categories of boundaries that matter most for parents (and how to set them)
• How clear boundaries reduce conflict and increase emotional safety in marriage
• The most common mistakes couples make when setting boundaries (and what to do instead)
• How to know where you need a boundary most in your relationship right now
