How to quickly overcome wife guilt with this one simple question
Today we’re going to be talking about guilt. Guilt is something that I think we, as women, know a lot about. We feel like a bad wife or guilt for this and guilt for that. In fact, it might not be guilt we’re experiencing. It might be something else. I’m going to go into that. But let’s start with the one question that you can ask yourself that will help eliminate your guilt really quickly. And then, I’m going to invite you to some action steps that I think are really beneficial for all marriages.
The Essential First Step to Wanting Sex More, That Most Therapists Ignore

Episode 19: Leaving an Extreme Religious Group (that got a little cult-y) Together
In this episode, I talk with Bryn, a sweet and COURAGEOUS married woman who shares her story of marrying within an extremely religious off-shoot group and then eventually leaving the compound with her husband.
We talk about a TON of interesting (and inspiring topics) including:
1) How she found herself in this group in the first place.
2) When she started to see how strange it had become.
3) Making the decision to leave and the struggle they faced with that.
4) Eventually leaving and rebuilding a new life for themselves.
Bryn is an absolute delight to listen to and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
Episode 18: The Sweetest Love Through the Toughest Time
In this episode, I interview one of my favourite people in the whole world. I met Norene while we were both training to be Marriage Coaches (she’s also been a Marriage Therapist for years and years) and I instantly felt drawn to her.
When I started this podcast, I knew that she would be a guest and I was honoured when she said “yes” to sharing her (and her husband’s) journey of losing their daughter 5 years ago.
We talk about just about everything in this episode and while we are dealing with a heavy topic- this conversation is anything but.
So settle in and get ready to feel all the feelings 🙂

Episode 17: Learning That Our Child is Transgender
In this episode, I chat with Mel- a really funny and down-to-earth Australian mama who has been going through a pretty big transition in her life.
Although it was clear that they had a “tom-boy” on their hands from very early on in their child’s life, it wasn’t until later on that they discovered their daughter was actually a boy.
In this conversation, we talk about the very real challenges that they have faced together as a couple and how they are continuing to navigate this new territory together with love, compassion and a true sense of teamwork.
Episode 16: Loving a Man with High Functioning Autism
In this episode, I chat with Michelle, a lovely woman who has been through a LOT in her marriage.
After a very quick engagement period, she discovered that her husband had some quirky social, emotional and communication challenges that neither of them could figure out.
After years of struggle, they found out that he was on the Autism Spectrum which rocked both of their worlds.
But their story doesn’t end there. Listen to the episode to discover how they eventually healed his autism…

Episode 15: Living with Depression Together
In the episode, I chat with Cassandra- a mom of 2 little children who is living with depression along with her husband.
In this conversation, we talk about the different ways that depression manifests in her husband and herself, how they support one another through bouts of low periods and how they manage to raise their children successfully when things are tough.
Although depression seems like a pretty heavy topic, this interview is full of sweet moments as she shares what a TEAM they have become together through it all.
Enjoy!
Episode 14: When Breast Cancer Rocks Your World
In this episode, I chat with a lovely, insightful and courageous married woman named Samantha. Over a year ago, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer and was suddenly thrown into the medical world of testing, hospitals and chemo.
In this conversation, we talk about how her and her husband have dealt with this surprising turn of events in their marriage, how they have managed to continue to take care of their 3 small children and how she has mentally survived the ups and downs of the physical changes and recovery process.
Samantha is a joy to listen to and doesn’t shy away from telling it like it is but also is full of hope, inspiration and a down-to-earth rawness that I LOVE.
Enjoy!

In this episode, I chat with Bahiyyih- a married mom of two young kiddos and a “Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)”.
In this episode, Bahiyyih and I chat about how being an HSP has affected her life, marriage and sex life. We discuss the realities of being overwhelmed with the world most of the time and how her and her husband have navigated this extra challenge in their lives.
