Podcasts about couples coaching

Have you ever been mid-conversation with your partner, felt your jaw tighten, your stomach drop, your brain go sideways — and some part of you already looking for the exit? That's not a character flaw. That's your nervous system treating your partner like a threat.EJ and Tarah Kerwin are couples therapists, founders of Relationship Renovation, and parents of twins born on their honeymoon. EJ — a yoga teacher and therapist — turned avoidant the moment real chaos arrived, and Tarah had a name for it: Buddhist motherf***er. They had to learn everything they now teach by surviving their own marriage in real time.This conversation goes deep on why your success traits destroy your closest relationships, how your childhood nervous system patterns are running your marriage without your consent, and what emotional safety actually feels like when a man finally builds it.IN THIS EPISODE:Why the traits that made you successful at work become your biggest relationship wreckersWhat a genogram reveals about your patterns — and why compassion always followsFINE = Feelings Inside Not Expressed — and what that silence costs youThe difference between hypo arousal and being regulated — most men confuse the twoTriple H — Heard, Hugged, or Helped?

Most couples think they're fighting about chores.   The dishes. The garbage. Laundry. The forgotten text. The missed appointment. The thing that didn't get done.   But most of the time? That's not the real fight.   In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we unpack one of the most common relationship patterns they see… couples arguing about surface-level logistics when the real issue is emotional disconnection, unmet needs, resentment, and feeling unseen. They break down why the same fights keep repeating, how emotional pain gets expressed through criticism and defensiveness, and what actually creates real repair, connection, and intimacy.   What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why couples are rarely actually fighting about the dishes, garbage, or chores The deeper emotional needs underneath recurring conflict: support, appreciation, respect, and connection How to start naming your truth instead of projecting pain through criticism The toxic cycle of criticism, defensiveness, resentment, and emotional shutdown Why repair conversations matter more than avoiding conflict altogether The simple shifts that help couples reconnect, communicate honestly, and feel like a team again   It's not really about the garbage. Or the dishes. Or the forgotten task. It's about what those moments trigger underneath. Feeling alone. Feeling unsupported. Feeling disconnected. Feeling unseen. And once you learn how to speak the real need… everything shifts.

If your relationship feels… “fine”… but not alive anymoreIf you've ever had the thought:“We love each other… but something feels off”“When did we stop feeling like lovers?”“Why does it feel like we're just going through the motions?”This episode is for you.Because intimacy doesn't usually disappear overnight.It fades in the small, almost invisible moments…The ones that feel like “no big deal” —but slowly create distance over time.

This isn't just another "perfect love story"… This is a story about two people… Who didn't always get it right. Who broke up… more than once. Who didn't always understand each other… And had to learn how to love each other in real time. For the first time on the Legacy of Love podcast, I'm sitting down with just my husband, Alex… And we're opening up about our 16.5 year journey together. Not the highlight reel… But the real story:the rupturesthe distancethe misunderstandingsand the moments that could have ended everythingInside this episode, we share:The early stages of our relationship (and what we thought love would be)The breakups that shaped us — and why we kept finding our way backWhat long-distance taught us about trust, communication, and commitmentThe patterns we had to unlearn to make this relationship workThe moments we didn't understand each other… at allWhat it actually took to rebuild and choose each other againThe turning points that shifted everything between usHow we've grown into the partners we are todayThe truth most people don't talk about…The strongest relationships?Aren't the ones without conflict.They're the ones where both people are willing to:take responsibilitygrow individually & togetherand learn how to meet each other in a new way This episode is for you if you've ever wondered:“Can a relationship survive the hard seasons?”“Can we grow together instead of apart?”“What does it actually take to make love last?”Or if you're currently in a season where things feel:uncertaindisconnectedor like you're trying… but not quite meeting each otherWhat this conversation really reveals…Love isn't something you find once and keep forever.It's something you:choosebuildand come back to… again and againIf this resonated…And something in you is thinking:“There's more here for us…”That matters.Because you don't need to stay stuck in:the same patternsthe same miscommunicationthe same emotional distance❤️ Couples Coaching — When You're Both ReadyIf you and your partner are ready to go deeper…To actually shift the dynamic between you — not just talk about it…This is the work we do inside my couples coaching.Together, we:rebuild trustrestore emotional safetyshift communication patternsand create a relationship that feels aligned for both of youSo you can move from:tension → connectionmisunderstanding → claritydistance → intimacyIf this is calling to you DM me "Couples Coaching" on Instagram @IAmMelissaPeters here.

If you've been feeling more like roommates than lovers lately — this one's for you. Not the you that has it all together, but the you that misses the spark and isn't quite sure where it went.The truth is: you didn't lose the spark. You lost the conditions that create it.

Want to ask your partner about couples coaching but worry it'll blow up into an argument or get met with a cold brick wall? We get it. When a relationship already feels tense or disconnected, even a well-meant suggestion can land like criticism, and the moment you say “we need help”, your partner may hear “you're the problem”.We unpack why this topic triggers so much resistance and what's really going on underneath it: fear of failing, fear of being blamed, fear of being exposed, and the very real urge to preserve whatever peace is left. We also talk about the avoidant pattern many couples get stuck in, where one person minimises the problem, compares to “worse” relationships, or promises to “try harder” without a strategy. If you've been searching for relationship coaching, couples coaching, communication help, or a healthier alternative to traditional marriage counselling, this is a practical roadmap.Then we get specific: when not to raise it (never mid-fight, never as an ultimatum), how to regulate your nervous system so you don't come in hot, and the exact kind of “I feel” and “we” language that invites teamwork instead of defensiveness. We show you how to explain why it matters, share your vision for the relationship, and add real ownership for your part so your partner can soften and stay in the room. We also cover what to do if they need time to process, and how to handle common objections around time, money, and “we should fix this ourselves”.If your partner still won't engage, we'll point you toward the next best step: begin your own work, shift what you can control, and build safety so repair becomes possible. If this helps, subscribe, share it with someone who needs it, and leave us a review so more couples can find the support they've been avoiding.Example Prompts for bringing up the conversation: "I feel like we're disconnected and have been for a long time - I'm scared that we won't be able to improve our communication and connection on our own.

You're ready.You can feel it — there's more available in your relationship.More depth. More connection.

We're back with another real-life couples coaching session. Have you ever gotten to a point where sex doesn't just feel uninteresting… it feels like something you actively resent? Where you love your partner but the thought of being touched makes you want to crawl out of your skin? That's what's going on here. And there is so much underneath it. We're talking about what happens when orgasm has always been a struggle, when postpartum and hormones change everything, when porn creates unrealistic expectations, and when "just doing it anyway" starts to backfire. Because this isn't really about libido. It's about feeling heard, feeling safe, and figuring out how to be on the same team again.

Marriage Coaching or Counseling? Alone or Together?When a marriage is in trouble, it is easy to assume that any help is better than no help or that what worked for someone else should work for you.

Therapy helped us understand what was happening. It gave language to patterns. It is named attachment styles. It identified triggers. But something still wasn't changing. In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we share why insight alone didn't create transformation in their relationship and what finally did. This isn't therapy-bashing. It's a deeper conversation about embodiment, nervous system safety, and why talking about intimacy isn't the same as practicing it. If you've done the work… and still feel stuck… this episode will land.   What You'll Hear in This Episode What are the beliefs we carried about therapy, and why we assumed it was the only answer What therapy gave us Why awareness without embodiment rarely creates lasting relational change How a braced nervous system blocks intimacy, even when communication improves What is the difference between talking about sex and actually practicing intimacy What shifted everything: somatic work, breath, polarity, co-regulation, and embodied presence Why immersive experiences create capacity that weekly sessions often cannot   Therapy can open the door. But transformation happens when the body feels safe enough to soften. And when safety returns…connection becomes real.

If it feels like you and your partner are stuck in the same argument on repeat… you're not failing at communication.You're touching something deeper.In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we unpack why certain fights keep resurfacing in long-term relationships even when the topic changes and what's actually required to interrupt the cycle.They explore how nervous system activation, unmet needs, and missed repair keep couples looping… and how grounding, curiosity, and conscious repair can finally create safety, understanding, and real intimacy.This episode is for couples who are tired of circling the same conflict and ready for a different way forward. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy repeating the same fight isn't about the issue at hand… but about an unmet emotional need underneath itWhat happens in your nervous system when you're triggered, and why logic disappears the moment conflict escalatesHow avoidance, shutdown, and makeup sex delay repair instead of resolving what's actually happeningWhat is the emotional and relational cost of unresolved conflict, and why does resentment build when repair is skippedWhy grounding must come before communication, and what helps you return to your adult self during conflictHow curiosity dissolves blame and opens the door to understanding, safety, and reconnectionWhy repair may be the most important love language couples were never taught You don't keep having the same fight because you're broken.You keep having it because something inside you is asking to be seen, met, and healed, and when that happens, intimacy can finally deepen. ✨ Save your spot for our upcoming February Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

In this 10-minute solo episode, I share one simple but powerful piece of advice I received from a therapist years ago that transformed the way I show up in my relationship: "Stop picking up the sock."This episode dives into the emotional and energetic cost of over-functioning in a relationship, the way we unconsciously slip into manager or caregiver roles, and how that slowly chips away at intimacy and connection.I unpack the nervous system patterns behind this behavior, the impact of the invisible load, and offer five practical ways to break the cycle. so you can build a partnership rooted in shared responsibility, mutual respect, and deeper love.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything in your relationship and still not feeling appreciated,  this one's for you.♾ In a fast-paced world like the one we live in, time is one of our most important assets.

You don't need to have all the answers to begin healing. In this powerful and compassionate episode of Relationships Uncomplicated, Idit Sharoni, LMFT, is joined by Program Specialist and therapist Alana Tokayer, LMFT, to answer a question many hurt partners silently ask: “Is it even worth starting the healing process if I'm not sure I want to stay?” We explore why uncertainty is a completely normal—and expected—part of the aftermath of infidelity, and how beginning the healing process can actually lead to the clarity so many partners are searching for. ⏱ Episode Timestamps: 00:02 – Why uncertainty after infidelity is normal Idit introduces the topic and explains how common it is for hurt partners to question whether healing is worth it when they're unsure about staying. 04:24 – The emotional duality of betrayal Alana describes the emotional seesaw many hurt partners experience—feeling both deep pain and lingering love—and why that doesn't mean something is wrong with you. 08:20 – Why you don't need to decide before you begin Idit explains how healing often leads to clarity, and that deciding to stay is not a requirement to start the recovery process. 14:40 – How healing helps clarify what's possible Alana shares the metaphor of the fogged-up window and how clarity emerges from experience—not from overthinking or pressure. 22:25 – The difference between being remorseful and acting remorseful Idit outlines what true remorse looks like and how an unfaithful partner can appear unremorseful even if they feel regret.

Welcome to the first episode of July 2025, where I have a fascinating conversation with Nick Brancato, a relationship systems architect and author of 'Prioritize Us.' Nick shares his unique journey from being a professional poker player to stepping into the world of personal development and relationship coaching.  We talk about the significance of aligning priorities within relationships, enhancing communication, and strategies to maintain focus under stress. Nick also introduces his 'Prioritize Us' test, a powerful framework designed to help couples (and friends and anyone else you want to build a more connected relationship with) understand each other's core life priorities and values.  We also explore coping mechanisms during crises, the concept of parallel play, and turn-based communication for resolving conflicts. Join us as we dive into these insights and more, plus we end with a simple mindfulness exercise that can help prioritize our personal resources when we want to accomplish something. Truly useful for all people.

Let's talk about blowjobs.Not the performative, porn-scripted kind. And not the kind you give just to “get it over with.” We're talking about the ones that are offered from genuine turn-on, deep connection, and sovereign choice.In this week's episode, we open up about a very real part of our journey- how something that used to feel like a chore (for Kim) became a space of embodied pleasure, sacred play, and deep trust between us.And it's not just about blowjobs. It's about what happens when you remove pressure, drop the old stories, and let truth and turn-on take the lead. Quick summary into this week's episode: The difference between performing and feelingHow porn culture and shame hijack connectionWhy sacred sex has nothing to do with technique and everything to do with safetyHow feedback can be foreplayAnd why your body will always tell the truth (if you're willing to listen)And many more! If you're someone who's already been on this path…Who's done the workshops, studied the teachings, and experienced sacred sex in its fullness…But you know there's another layer waiting to be unlocked…We'd love to invite you deeper.Our private couples retreats are for the ones who are ready for the next level of turn-on, tenderness, and truth. It's one-on-one work with us at our lakeside sanctuary in Ontario—a space designed for sacred re-patterning, embodied pleasure, and soul-deep partnership.

It feels like nothing is changing… but it is.There's a moment on the journey of growth that can feel downright cruel.You're showing up. You're doing the work. You're staying present, using the tools, praying through the pain…And still, nothing seems to be changing.Not fast enough. Not visibly enough.And that old voice whispers, Why bother?If that's where you are right now, I recorded this week's episode just for you.✨ It's not that you're doing it wrong.It's that you're in the middle — the sacred, quiet stretch where the muscle of change is forming before it's visible.In today's episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage, I talk about what it means to live in that middle space — the part where you're sometimes still falling into old patterns, but you're also starting to notice them and choose differently.I'll share a story from one of my coaching clients — a woman who, in the face of emotional shutdown and discouragement, kept showing up for herself and her relationship. She didn't get it “right” the first time. Or the second. But she kept coming back. And her courage was building something far more powerful than perfection.This episode is your reminder that:Falling into the hole doesn't mean you're failingYou can regulate, recover, and re-enter with loveAnd your heart is already protected by a God who is holding you as you growSo if you're weary from doing the work and wondering if it's making a difference — please don't miss this one.CBS News Interview: 6 Tips For A Healthy & Loving RelationshipUnlock deeper connection in your marriage with my free guide, Daily Prompts for Deeper Connection with Your Spouse—get it now!

Relationships require effort, balance, and intentional communication.

Strategic Love Partnerships: Relationships thrive when couples treat them like a shared venture, with plans, goals, and strategies, rather than relying solely on love and attraction. Mission Statement for Relationships: Crafting a relationship mission statement helps partners align their goals, values, and vision for the future, providing a clear "compass" for the relationship. Importance of External Guidance: Coaching provides objective insights and tools for resolving challenges, enhancing communication, and achieving shared goals.

An extraordinary couple, my clients, Cody & Cristina join us to share their miraculous experiences as a direct result of understanding and loving their own individual inner-SELVES, first. With a new baby on the way, Cristina was a week late going into natural labor.....That is, until we dug into the depths of her UNconscious mind to see what was REALLY stopping her from experiencing the childbirth of her dreams!! At first glance, Cristina's delayed labor seemed to be caused by her stress and circumstances. Yet, in acutality, it was something much deeper that she could not see. It was hidden blindspots of emotional trauma stemming from her past..... It's never ever what meets the eye, it's REALLY what meets the brain! What meets the brain is UNconscious FEAR, which causes an inability to get what we truly want in life, to feel a sense of FREEDOM & HAPPINESS. Healthy, happy, loving relationship are created through profoundly understanding YourSELF and others, while exercising mutually sympathetic LISTENING. Meaning, hearing and allowing the other to freely express themselves with no preconceived notions, judgement or criticism. Actually LISTENING to what they are saying, NOT what you are hearing in your own head! All the while, never taking anything personally!!!! Cristina shares a great example of this on our podcast! Easier said, than done. But, learning and training to actively listen is radically worth it because it creates a rapturously intimate LOVE connection that penetrates the depths of your SOUL.      

In this episode our good friends, Jordan and Claire, share with us how they each grew in the ability to care for each others needs despite the fear that their own would never get met. Jenna and I (Aaron), have done a number of Couples Coaching sessions with them in which we witnessed a masterful use of the communication tools in the midst of processing pain and feeling defensiveness.They discuss how to properly validate, have compassion and help the other person feel seen and heard before passing "the talking stick". They also share how they've learned to ride the wave of defensiveness and triggers that inevitably happen when their spouse shares pain involving them.Links for upcoming courses and coaching options: The Habit Lab Mastery Course Online Small Group - Porn Recovery Course Couples Coaching, Habit Coaching, Porn Recovery Coaching, Emotional & Relational Health Coaching >>> Would you consider financially supporting our shows?

I absolutely LOVE working with couples. It's all about forming a really healthy professional relationship that feels like having a solid friend in your corner who is there to support you, who wants the best for you, and who has your back as a UNIT. We all work together as a TEAM. And of course, that includes holding you accountable and calling you out when needed, for the greater good of the relationship. I am super confident that you will feel a sense of relief and support if you work with me. And just knowing that you have someone to reach out to who knows all of the ins and outs of your relationship when you hit a wall or have an argument ONGOING, can bring you peace of mind. Let's work together: https://www.breakupboost.com/couples-coaching-online/
