A Deep Dive into Relationship Connection: Communication, Vulnerability, and the Art of Checking In I popped his Podcast cherry and you all get to listen to it first here ✨ In this episode, I welcome a very special guest – my husband Mick! After years of people asking how Mick feels about this work I do within the world of sex and relationships, he’s finally here to spill the tea. We cover a lot of stuff - from the beginning, where Mick had to adjust to my verrrrry direct communication style, to long distance where we focused on building a strong, connected relationship, we dive deep into how we've made it work. This episode starts exploring our early days as a couple, including the challenges of long-distance while I was away at the police academy, and how we created a weekly relationship check-ins which would turn into our relationships secret sauce & a game-changer. Mick opens up about how he went from shutting down during conflicts to learning how to communicate better and discusses how their relationship evolved into something super strong and authentic. I share insights into how we navigated these challenges, my belief in the power of relationship check-ins, and how being intentional about communication transformed our bond. Plus, you’ll hear all about their journey through relationship hurdles, Mick’s take on sex talks over breakfast, and what I call our "distress signal" – the word "fine." Whether you’re curious about what makes relationships work or looking for some fun, unfiltered relationship advice, this episode has it all! Tune in for laughs, insights, and a real-life look at how we make things work 🍒 xCourtney
