    We’re In Couples Therapy - Ask Us Anything!

    We’re In Couples Therapy - Ask Us Anything!

    Today we’re getting ULTRA personal, and answering all your questions about our recent experience in couples therapy.
    Do we think therapy sometimes digs up stuff that wasn’t a problem? Do we ever hope our therapist takes our side? And of course, the big question that everyone wanted to know… WHY are we in couples therapy in the first place? (We got really vulnerable and emotional with this one…)
    We hope these topics (and our sometimes controversial answers) start some conversations that you never knew you needed to have!

    What To Do When It’s Been A While… (The Dry Spell Episode)

    In this episode, we’re breaking down why dry spells happen in the first place and telling you exactly how to get back on the horse. We’ll even answer the big question… do we NEED to have sex?
