Divorce Proof Marriage

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into one of the most powerful influences on your marriage: your mindset and belief system. Research from psychologists and relationship experts like Dr. Carol Dweck and Dr. John Gottman shows that our mindset shapes how we experience our relationships. When we believe in the growth and potential of our marriage, we become more resilient, empathetic, and connected. But what happens when our beliefs start to shift to the negative? Why do we tend to veer that way over time, and how can we change it?

We’ll uncover why mindset matters, how to strengthen a growth mindset within your marriage, and practical ways to nurture positive beliefs about your partner. If you’ve been wondering how to renew your faith in your relationship, or if you’re ready to shift your perspective for a stronger, happier marriage, this episode is for you!

In the first session I have with couples, we always go over goals for where they want their marriage to be, what's working and what's not. I've coached over 100 couples in the last 5 years and they have ALL said "we want better communication" and while coaching them, I find that they don't have a communication problem and neither do you.

Why do people fear falling out of love?

This fear often stems from a deep-seated anxiety about the future. We all enter relationships with hopes, dreams, and a vision of everlasting love. But as time goes on, we might notice changes in our feelings or the dynamics of the relationship, which can trigger doubts and fears. This fear is not irrational; it’s a reflection of how much we value our relationships and how much we want them to succeed.

In this episode, I dive deep into this topic as well as the marriage retreat that I'm hosting January 24 and 25, 2025 in Granbury, TX.

***Trigger warning*** Infant loss, miscarriage, grief

This week's episode features Kate Carson, a former teacher, engineer and now a love, sex and life transitions coach. Kate talks all about her own grief with late term pregnancy loss, miscarriage and not only keeping your marriage strong through those experiences but also the different secondary experiences that come as a result of those states- lactation after late term pregnancy loss, the sexuality changes that happen because of depression and grief, etc. If you've experienced any of the traumatic circumstances that Kate talks about in this episode, I encourage you to reach out to her for somatic help.
