Awesome podcast

I stumbled upon this podcast because I was reading an email advertising a Gottman Institute workshop. I’m an LMHC in Florida. I have a Ph.D. In Marriage and Family Counseling. I’m always looking for ways to broaden my skill set while also strengthening myself and my relationship. This podcast really resonated with me. Both hosts were engaging, articulate and very personable. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone wanting to further their knowledge and practice or to just increase their awareness of why we make up the stories we do in our relationships and how we can better navigate conflict to create better outcomes.

So grateful I found this podcast

Just found this podcast after sifting through MANY marriage podcasts that just didn’t speak to me. Laura and Zach are real and personable and very easy to listen to.

Learned a lot!

Love the catch ups, side notes, and overall dynamic! I’ve really been able to change my mindset around relationships, and my relationships (not just romantic ones) have improved from it :)
