    It's Not Him, It's You — You're Designed to Draw Him In

    Trigger alert: it's not him — it's you. (Well… not entirely you.). If you're aching for him to do the work and finally meet you emotionally — and you know what you've been doing isn't helping — Courtney and Mike go into the feminine's role in sacred relating. They name the "if he changes, everything will be fine" shadow, the wall women yell over, and why mothering him kills polarity. The invitation is a different seat: land in Me, know the little girl who's hypervigilantly managing him, and embody desire so he can actually feel it — consent before hard talks, fierce love, and delivery from the oracle (not accusation). This isn't another layer of self-blame. It's radical responsibility and freedom: do your part of the dance so the alchemy can come online.

    The Disconnection In Your Relationship Is Your Disconnection From God

    3 Somatic Practices for Deeper Connection 👉Sign up for a FREE guide here: https://www.sacredrelating.com/deeperconnection When you feel disconnected from your partner, it’s rarely just about them. In this episode of The Sacred We, Mike and Courtney share why the disconnection so many couples feel isn’t ultimately about the relationship — it’s a disconnection from God. Mike and Courtney open up about what it means to build a God-led relationship: the different names they each use for the divine, how spirit guided them to each other and into the very home where this podcast was born, and the daily practices — prayer, gratitude, communion — that keep them connected to something bigger than themselves and to each other. They also unpack two often-misunderstood spiritual concepts, communion and matrimony, not as church rituals but as spiritual initiations every soul moves through — the ongoing practice of staying intimate with spirit and keeping the heart open, again and again, no matter what arises. If you’re ready to understand your relationship as sacred ground for your own awakening, this conversation will meet you there.

    Too Much, Not Enough: Healing the Polarity Wound in Relationships

    Every couple knows this dance: she reaches for more and he braces, or he tries to fix what was never broken and she feels unseen. In this episode, Mike and Courtney unpack two of the most common wounds in relationships — the "too much" wound in the feminine and the "not enough" wound in the masculine — starting with a reframed reading of the Adam and Eve myth through a goddess mythology lens. Then they get real: earlier that same day, Mike and Courtney had their own version of this exact rupture, and they walked through the entire thing — what was said, what was heard, where it went sideways, and how they repaired it. It’s an unfiltered look at how these ancient wounds show up in a real marriage, and what it actually takes to soften them. If you’ve ever felt like you were "too much" for your partner, or like nothing you do is ever "enough," this conversation will change how you see that pattern — and your partner.

    The #1 Secret to Lasting Love And How Secure Functioning Fixes Broken Relationships with Dayna Mullen

    What if your relationship didn’t need one more insight — just a better dance? On this episode of The Sacred We, Mike and Courtney sit down with licensed marriage and family therapist Dayna Mullen, who has spent 18 years studying under Stan Tatkin and building a marriage of her own around the same principle she teaches every couple who walks through her door: secure functioning. Dayna unpacks what Stan Tatkin calls the "couple bubble" — the shared ecosystem a couple creates when they agree the relationship comes first, not one partner’s needs over the other’s. She walks through what secure functioning actually looks like in daily life: the rituals that hold a marriage together, the practice of sitting on the floor to co-regulate instead of trying to talk through a fight, and the golden rule she and her husband Dennis live by — moving at the pace of connection, not the pace of being right. The conversation goes deep on what secure functioning asks of each attachment style. Dayna names the specific sacrifice for the avoidant, the anxious, and the disorganized — and why none of it is really a sacrifice once you feel what’s on the other side of it. She and Courtney also draw a clear line between secure functioning and codependence, two things that get confused constantly, and talk candidly about why couples build endless structures for their kids and almost none for their marriage. This one is for anyone ready to stop doing relationships alone — even inside a relationship. About Dayna Mullen: Dayna Mullen is a Registered Psychologist, couples therapist, and international relationship coach with more than 25 years studying what makes relationships work, professionally and personally. She helps high-functioning couples go beyond communication tips to the attachment patterns and nervous system dynamics that create real safety and connection. Married 23 years and a mother of three, her mission is to change the culture of relationships.

Mike shares how avoidance affected his own first marriage, and what changed once he stopped fighting it and started meeting it with compassion. You'll hear the exact language that helped him and Courtney turn avoidance into vulnerability, why criticism makes it worse, and what to say instead when your partner feels far away. Whether you're the one who pulls away or the one doing the reaching, this episode offers a real, practical path back to connection.

    How I Unwound My Childhood Mental Health Through Healing My Nervous System

    To the mamas holding it all together while still longing to feel like you — Courtney's Holy Mama community is opening its doors soon. Join the waitlist to be the first to know:https://www.courtneywren.com/holy-mama-waitlist Before she was ten, Courtney had been diagnosed with panic disorder, generalized anxiety, and ADHD — and put on the first of what would be over a decade of psychiatric medication. In this solo episode, she tells the real story behind those diagnoses: the night terrors that started in infancy, the panic attacks that felt like dying, the label of "problem child" that followed her through school, and the slow unraveling of her trust in her own body. At 20, sitting at what she calls her rock bottom, Courtney chose to stop looking outside herself for a fix. What followed was years of somatic therapy and nervous system work that did what medication, energy healing, and a dozen specialists couldn’t: it healed her. By 29, her anxiety, panic attacks, ADHD symptoms, and PCOS were gone. This isn’t a story about blame — Courtney is clear that everyone around her, from her parents to her doctors, was doing their best with what they knew. It’s an invitation to get curious about what a child’s nervous system is actually communicating, and to imagine what becomes possible when we stop treating a diagnosis as a life sentence. She also shares a first look at her upcoming course, Parenting the Nervous System, launching this fall. If you or someone you love has ever been told a diagnosis is just "who they are," this episode offers a different way to see it.

    Unlocking Inherent Vitality: A Radical Approach to Conscious Parenting with Beth Sutton of Enki Education

    Stay tuned for 2 upcoming offers! To the mamas holding it all together while still longing to feel like you — Courtney's Holy Mama community is opening its doors soon. Join the waitlist to be the first to know:https://www.courtneywren.com/holy-mama-waitlist There's a two-year-old standing at a breakfast table, methodically arranging every jelly packet on it into patterns—and a fifty-year veteran educator choosing to say nothing at all. That single moment holds the whole conversation. In this episode, Courtney sits down with Beth Sutton, founder and director of Enki Education, for a conversation about "inherent vitality"—the life force Beth believes exists in every child (and every adult) whether or not we ever learn to access it. Beth has spent more than fifty years developing Enki, an education philosophy used in homeschools and classrooms around the world, built on the idea that children don’t need to be taught aliveness—they need adults who know how to stop getting in its way. She and Courtney talk about why "spicy" or big-feeling kids often carry the most vitality rather than the least, the real difference between harmonic resonance and co-regulation, and why so much well-meaning parenting quietly teaches kids to override what their bodies already know. The conversation moves into the physiology of what Beth calls the "mama battery," why the first three years of a child’s life do so much of the work of building lifelong nervous system safety, and how to tell the difference between a child who is truly ready for separation and one who has simply gone quiet. Beth closes with one of Enki’s core teachings—the difference between falling and failing—and why learning to stay present with a fall, rather than rushing past it, is what actually builds resilience in children and the adults raising them.
