Welcome back to another episode of Everything Is Teachable. Today, we're chatting with the dynamic therapist duo, Stacey and Rachel of Decoding Couples. In this episode, we get to know their story of how they decided to work together, the transformations they've provided their students all over the world, best practices for growing your social media accounts, and more.Rachel Facio came up with Decoding Couples originally as a YouTube series with the idea that she and other guests would decode the complicated ins and outs of relationships. Stacey Sherrell was her first guest and it became obvious, VERY quickly, that it was way more fun discussing these issues together since it is what they had already been doing when the camera wasn't rolling. Behind the scenes, both Stacey and Rachel were struggling in their personal relationships and couples therapy just wasn't in the cards. They knew their relationships needed change, but all they could find was fluffy self-help tools that didn't address issues in a real way.They realized this space needed to exist and they would be the ones to create it with their personal and professional experiences. One day, Stacey walked into Rachel's office with an Instagram page set up and ready to go, and viola—Decoding Couples was official. In just over a year, Decoding Couples has become known for hilariously informative reels and self-paced courses that are creating REAL, positive change for individuals and couples…without ever needing to leave their couches.For all things creator news, important tips, and more, sign up for Teachable's newsletter here: https://teachable.com/newsletter-signup?utm_source=site&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=newsletter-signup-podcastWhere to find Stacey and Rachel:Website: www.decodingcouples.comTeachable school: decoding-couples.teachable.comMasterclass: https://www.decodingcouples.com/webinar-registrationInstagram: Instagram: www.instagram.com/decoding_couplesFollow Teachable on social media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teachable ?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=podcast-instagramLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/teachable/?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=podcast-linkedinTwitter: https://twitter.com/teachable?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=podcast-twitterTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@teachablehq?utm_source=tiktok&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=podcast-tiktokSee you next week!
