Shameless Leadership

567: Danielle Silverstein: The Value of Vulnerability in Marriage & Martinis


Listen Later

Danielle is a mom to three kids and two rescue dogs. She and her husband, Adam, started Marriage and Martinis while going through the most intense, chaotic time in their lives. Their goal is to show a real marriage at its core; one in which both people greatly love each other, but also in which it has been difficult and messy.

Danielle and I connected as newbie podcasters a few years ago. From the moment I learned of her show and started stalking her ridiculously funny Instagram account, I wanted to be friends with her. She is real and raw to the core; she is not afraid to dig into hard, messy conversations; and she is so eager to support others as they wade through all the work that comes with marriage. 

After you listen to this conversation, you are definitely going to want to subscribe to the Marriage and Martinis podcast and go get Danielle’s book, Date Night Questions.

Listen in to hear Danielle share:

  • The importance of talking about life and your personal evolution with your partner - not just always talk about points of contention and the hard parts of your partnership
  • Why Danielle and Adam started a podcast at a low-low in their marriage
  • The truth about the smoke & mirrors of all marriages
  • What it has felt like to be completely open, honest, and vulnerable with their life/marriage in such a public way
  • Her two truths about marriage that she couldn’t see coming when they started the show - that might totally help you in your marriage
  • How to frame questions and conversations for healthy communication and growth in your partnerships
  • All the goodies about her and Adam’s ebook, Date Night Questions, and how to use the book to support healthy, fun, and productive conversations in your marriage or partnership
