Julie Marie hosts her husband, Ray, on the podcast for the first time!

Ray gives details on how he came to examine his own family dynamics from his family-of-origin, and in turn, the family dynamics he was perpetuating in his marriage and the family he created. Ray discusses what specifically he decided to shift and also shares some reflections he is currently having on his love language and others ways he communicates as a man, as a husband, and as a person.

Julie Marie and Ray have a deep conversation in how they each have participated in dynamics that haven't worked for them in the past and what they needed to shift out of them. @Karamo from Queer Eye — thanks for saving our marriage!

They also vulnerably share a dynamic they are actively attempting to lovingly shift now. It's always a journey, but if you're with a partner who's open and working on creating emotional safety in the relationship, it's an honor!

Julie Marie addresses the “family estrangement epidemic.” Where some researchers are finding that family estrangements rates are going up, while others are finding that rates have stayed the same throughout time.

Julie gives her own personal opinion on family estrangement and answers the question she has been asked a lot “are you pro-estrangement?” The answer may surprise you.

She explains the difference when there is opportunity for reconnection in estrangements, and when there isn’t, but how the majority of family estrangements can be an opportunity for deep healing – both for an individual and for the family as a whole.
