Welcome back to the How to Build Your Dream Life Podcast!

In this episode we reflect on how the podcast started and the changes we're making to help people going through the same things we did just a few years ago.

We are blown away by the response we've received from our first 20 episodes- we had no idea just how common our marriage struggles were, and can't believe how many of you have responded, asked questions, and subscribed to hear more.

With the name change we are shifting our focus towards helping and offering solutions based on our own experience in rebuilding our marriage from the point of deciding to get divorced. We talk about the changes in communication that helped us and how flexible systems played a huge role.
