In this heartwarming episode, Val is the guest on the Therapy Brothers podcast hosted by brothers & fellow relationship therapists Brannon and Tyler Patrick.   


The topic is navigating the choppy waters of a marriage in distress due to the faith journey of one of the partners--a demographic of couples that is multiplying rapidly.  

The bottom line? A faith transition can (and has) weakened or destroyed many a marriage.  But guess what?  A faith transition can actually strengthen a marriage in ways that virtually nothing else can--if both partners have the framework and the tools.  

Listen in as Valerie shares her experiences and strategies helping countless distressed couples rediscover love by:

  •  redefining what healthy marriage is
  • focusing on values over beliefs
  • embracing discomfort for growth 
  • fostering deep connections through compassion, curiosity, and healthy differentiation of self.   


Whether you're in a faith-expanding journey or just want to deepen your relationship, this episode is packed with wisdom to guide you through the intricate dance of intimate relationship & spiritual evolution.
