// OUR REAL-ATIONSHIP TALK PODCAST GUEST //

Becky Whetstone, PhD, is a Marriage and Family Therapist and Life Coach specializing in marriage crisis counseling. Based in Arkansas, she developed Managed Separation (MS), an intervention guiding separated couples with purpose and timelines. Inspired by her own marriage crisis, Dr. Whetstone created tools to help couples navigate turmoil.

A former journalist, Becky has a new book, I(Think) I Want Out: What To Do When One Of You Wants To End Your Marriage (Feb 4, 2025), aiming to reduce marital chaos and foster healthy relationships.

// WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE //

- Why so many women put all their eggs in the “man basket” and how having a Plan B isn’t about pessimism, it’s about power and self-worth.

- That push-pull dating dynamic we see all too often and how to stop rewarding wobbly, inconsistent behaviour.

- The damage that comes from keeping secrets in relationships, especially the ones in your own head, and how saying it straight can build real connection.

- And this big one: falling for potential. Becky breaks down why people rarely change (maybe 5%!) and how trauma can cloud our judgement.

And so much more!
