  • Thanks for a great conversation

    Hi Zach, thank you so much for having me and Paul on your show to talk about our relationship (and divorce!). You were a wonderful host and I appreciated the chance to talk about some of the things that really hep us in midlife marriage while also reducing some of the negativity around divorce (especially when kids are involved) Thank you for the work you do 🤍Susie Pettit

  • So good!

    I really enjoy the authenticity of Zach and Laura! The podcast has brought up a lot of really good topics for my wife and I to discuss that we probably wouldn’t have without it :)

  • Too much talk, little substance.

    Laura and Zack really enjoy hearing themselves talk. So much so that they talk over each other most of the time. The shows are full of irrelevant banter and boasting. If you want to hear two friends whom you barely know have a social conversation then tune in. Otherwise, schedule a get together with your own good friend whose company you enjoy and actually feel engaged about personal details they want to share.

  • Relatable and High Quality!

    As a parent/relationship coach, researcher and a work-in-progress, messy, imperfect human, I’ve been following (and recommending) this podcast since it started and have loved watching it grow and evolve. While I will miss Laura, I have no doubt that Zach is going to continue this relatable and high quality content!!! LOVE the 3 tips in this episode!!!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 445 Permission for Pleasure w/Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz
Q: When you think about giving people permission to experience pleasure, what is that for you?
Skyler describes pleasure as allowing the senses to come alive without feeling it must first be earned, and suggests practicing with everyday experiences such as eating slowly or taking a warm shower. Lebowitz adds that performance rules can block awareness and enjoyment.
Ep 445 Permission for Pleasure w/Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz
Q: What's really going on for couples where a woman is waking up to her sexuality and her male partner is less interested?
The guests say possible factors include low testosterone, relationship resentment, unresolved betrayal, depression, trauma, fear of sexual dysfunction, and learned resignation. They recommend exploring the couple's health and relationship history rather than assuming a single cause.
Ep 437 What Generational Trauma Skips and What It Doesn't w/Kara & Stacy (Zach's cousins)
Q: What can you tell me about my marriage?
The guests suggest that the relationship is built on deep communication, transparency, and the ability to navigate differences as best friends, with ongoing work to maintain connection and adapt to each other's needs over decades.
Ep 435 Should You Even Be in Couples Therapy? Zach Answers on The Bomb Life w/Melissa Vogel
Q: Do you think people should be in couples therapy if they're married?
Therapy is a tool; couples either do the work or they don't, and the path to growth can be supported by various formats beyond traditional therapy.
Ep 433 Ironman Training With Stage 4 Cancer: Jim and Kelly on Discipline, Marriage, and Kona
Q: Let me ask about two metaphors that relate endurance sports to marriage. Is marriage an endurance sport for you?
Yes, a marathon where true love is tested in the valleys, not the peaks, and ongoing discipline keeps both partners connected through long-term challenges.
