Couple Collective

In episode nine, I self reflect. Based on the first eight episodes, I take a step back and discuss what I've learned to date, from guests as well as conversations I've had outside of the podcast. Additionally, I give a preview of what's to come; round two with Sean, a future interview with a sex therapist, and why I'd like to include singles as guest after a conversation with my sister.

Between now and next time, check out the library (couplecollective.com/library), where I recommend books that I've read or have been recommended to me. As always, you can continue to engage beyond the podcast on the website www.couplecollective.com and via our social channels @couplecollective; I want to hear your stories and your feedback. Leave a review wherever you listen to podcasts. Much Love!

In the seventh episode of Couple Collective I interviewed my former co-workers and now friends, Erin and Matt. They met young, and while their relationship did start and stop a number of times, their early immaturity evolved into a beautiful partnership; as Matt describes it, they are like fine wine, only getting better with age.

In the sixth episode of Couple Collective I interviewed my across the street neighbor, Sean, who also happens to be a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). He and I discuss how relationship success can be defined differently, and how the institution of marriage can really be anything you make it to be. As this podcast focuses on couples, he weighs in on couple's therapy, providing the what, how, and when. Enjoy, and check out Sean at www.seanholcombetherapy.com after.

Following my conversation with Sean, he suggested I read, The New "I Do" by Susan Pease Gadoua and Vicki Larson (affiliate link - https://amzn.to/2Ksw63u). He and I will discuss on a future episode.

In the fifth episode of Couple Collective I interviewed my parents. Although I was very much a part of their relationship story, I loved learning about how they partnered to raise my sister and me. From powering through a distance relationship, to working multiple jobs, to going back to school, there are plenty of gems that define what a true partnership looks like. As I say in the episode, if I have half the success they've had, I will be alright.

The fourth episode of Couple Collective is part two of the interview I did with my good friends Jack and Jess, in Atlanta. In part one, we learned about how they met, spent some time apart, and came back together; check it out if you haven't already. In part two, we discuss how finances and setting goals as a couple was the key to driving success in their relationship. There are great nuggets of advice that Emily and I will take for our relationship. Outside of the recording, they suggested we read The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey (affiliate link - https://amzn.to/2tYDKvE), which is the foundation of a lot of Jack's advice.

In the third episode of Couple Collective, I present to you the interview I did with my good friends Jack and Jess, when we visited them in Atlanta last month. This is the first part of a two part episode, where I introduce them and let you hear their story about how they met. For background, Jess and I met at work in Boston and quickly became friends; chatting regularly about current and past relationships. Jack's name kept coming up during those conversations, so I'm excited for you to learn how they met and how I may have has a small part in them getting together. Part 2 will be dropped later this week, so make sure to tune in; you'll be getting a lesson in finance and why it's important to set goals as a couple.
