Have you heard about the Enneagram and wonder what it is all about? Christa Hardin joins Dr. John and Dr. Morgan to clearly explain this tool that has helped so many individuals and couples. For years, she has provided enneagram coaching and resources specifically for couples in marriage(https://www.enneagraminyourmarriage.com).
If you’ve ever wondered how someone discovers their Enneagram type, you’ll love how Christa breaks down the key questions to ask to  discover yours and helps John figure out his Enneagram type during the episode.

In this episode of the Love Thinks podcast, Dr. John Van Epp and Dr. Morgan Cutlip sit with Tricia Fox and Dave Ransom who are a married couple of two young children. 
Dave and Tricia share their experience transitioning from a couple to parents and what married life was like after kids. They share relatable moments and struggles and  how they navigated through growing stronger and more connected.
 

Dr. John Van Epp and Dr. Morgan Cutlip share their story and how they began working together as a father-daughter team to help people in their relationships. They share stories of some of the earliest experiences of Dr. Morgan's life and how they shaped her interest in helping people develop healthy relationships and how Dr. John inspired and nurtured this interest.

This is our third podcast interview on the topic of the “mental load.” Dr. Brooke Weinstein joined Dr. John and Dr. Morgan to share how she has successfully learned to carry her mental load while keeping her own self-care a high priority. Her story is inspiring with many diverse and challenging chapters: a wife with a husband struggling with depression; a mother of two boys (now 8 and 5); a working mom with a thriving practice; an almost divorced and later, widowed solo-parent. And yet, through all these experiences she has been resilient to continue to deepen her joy and love of life.

It takes courage to share aspects of your life and marriage on a podcast, and something beyond courage to talk about personal failures. Peter and Alex personify this exceptional courage, as they share about a dark time of betrayed trust in their marriage and how they were able to build back their love and trust. Dr. John and Dr. Morgan sat down with Alex and Peter, parents of three kids, ages 5-9, and were amazed at the grace and wisdom they expressed in their relationship over the last few years of working through an emotional affair. 

Most parents will eventually face the day when their young kid admits that they have a crush or someone has a crush on them. Many parents feel anxious and unequipped for the conversations that may need to follow.   Dr. John and Dr. Morgan are a father-daughter team, and they are in a really unique position to discuss this often-overlooked area of how parents can engage with their elementary kids about their crushes... and yes, they said “elementary” kids! They discuss how to engage young kids in meaningful conversations when their child shares that either they have a crush, or someone has a crush on them.  And it was these types of conversations that happened between Dr. John and Dr. Morgan when Morgan was growing up that are the genesis of many of the helpful concepts they share in this podcast.
