“It’s so valuable to know that we’re on the same team… same goal, same vision.”

—  Leah

Welcome to the fourth episode of my limited Sandbox Spotlight series, featuring interviews with real-life couples talking about their real-life experiences with couples therapy!

In this series, we dive deep into true stories of dealing with relationship stresses, navigating the four relationship seasons, and learning how to communicate as a couple more effectively.

If you haven’t listened to my episodes on the relationship seasons, I recommend you check them out first!

My guests for this episode are Leah and Doug. They’ve been together for 20 years, have a nine-year-old son, and joined the Sandbox about a year ago.

When they joined Sandbox, they were already in a solid place in their relationship and had done a lot of personal growth work separately. 

What was new for them was doing that growth work together.

Leah and Doug sat down for this interview while living out of an Airbnb and waiting to move into their brand new home, a life event that can create stress for a relationship.

In this interview, we discuss the importance of having a shared vision, baking self care into daily life, and asking for what you need in the moment.

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode of Couplehood,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

  • How they manage to stay in the Connected and Confident seasons — even while selling their house and moving in the middle of a pandemic 
  • The different types of intimacy and the importance of naming them 
  • What love really looks like in action — and how to help it thrive

“She reminds me to stop and breathe and focus on the larger vision.”

—  Doug
