This episode marks a meaningful milestone for the podcast — the first episode of its second year, and the first with my husband, Ben, joining me on the microphone.

For the past year, he has been an essential part of this podcast behind the scenes. In this episode, he steps forward — not because he was pushed, but because the timing felt right.

We reflect on what it has meant to create this podcast over the last year, the different ways we’ve each participated in that process, and how sharing a voice is not the same as sharing readiness. This conversation is about honoring pace, consent, and the often-invisible labor that sustains meaningful work.

This is not a conversation about expertise or advice. It’s about relationship. About what it looks like when two people with different rhythms consciously co-create something that fits who they are — and who they are becoming.

In this episode, we explore:

• What one year of creating this podcast has taught us
• The value of behind-the-scenes support and invisible labor
• Why timing and consent matter in shared projects
• What shifted when it felt right to share the microphone
• How shared voice doesn’t require shared pace
• The intention for this next chapter of the podcast

This episode marks both a reflection and a beginning — a new chapter shaped by trust, choice, and the willingness to step forward together.

If you and your partner are ready to co-create the roadmap to the relationship of your dreams, join us for the next in-person "Getting the Love You Want" Weekend Couples Retreat!
