So...we're going to try something a little bit different today. We are going to work through an exercise and discuss whatever it is that we discuss. It isn't preplanned other than we are going to do the exercise. This is one of the programs we use to help couples reconnect with each other and, as you will see, we use it ourselves to stay connected!

Have you ever been in a disagreement and it just seems to escalate? Today we will share 12 phrases that can help bring a sense of calm to an otherwise chaotic conversation.

So you think you have it all figured out. You know what the next 5 or 10 years are going to look like and you have no doubt that's exactly how it's going to go. Then all of a sudden...BAM!!!! Something comes out of nowhere and throws all of your carefully laid plans in the garbage. Now what? How does a relationship survive something like that? Listen in and we will describe how we are doing just that!

OK...so now you've had your fight. Now what? You know you need to make up and (possibly) forgive but what is it you're forgiving and forgetting? Let's discuss it and find out!

What do you do when your spouse is bringing up past hurts? Do you do the same? Do you justify or get defensive? Listen as we talk about how we navigate arguments and try to avoid the fight as much as possible, but when we do fight, we do it fairly with no "below the belt" tactics.

Ever get the feeling that someone is trying to control your life?

Maybe it's someone that you THOUGHT would go away once the divorce papers were signed. Today we talk about what to do in order to maintain a healthy household when one of you may have a TOXIC EX.

In this episode, Daun & Travis cover what a toxic ex-partner, toxic co-parent looks like and some strategies and tools to co-parent in a functional and healthy way.
