But through deep healing, transformation, and a relentless pursuit of something better, we didn’t just save our marriage—we created something more beautiful than we ever imagined. On our journey, we realized that the convent... more

I must say that this podcast has really opened my mind to understand why I continue to struggle with relapsing desires. Not only this, but I can identify now that I do numb myself and have difficulty managing my emotions when my wife comes to me with a challenging situation. After more than 20 years of an ugly cycle, I am finally becoming aware. Thanks to Brandon and Caitlyn, I feel there is hope for me to be the man and husband I aspire to be.
Like many persuasive programs, this podcast begins with enough common-sense relationship advice to sound credible: communicate honestly, put away distractions, and spend time together. Unfortunately, that’s where the balance ends.
Throughout the series, the hosts repeatedly criticize traditional counseling, therapy, and religion as lacking the answers couples need while presenting their own framework as the solution. They openly acknowledge they are not licensed counselors or therapists, yet th... more
I've listened to every episode of the Grounded Union Podcast, and it has completely changed the way I view marriage, trust, and healing. The honesty, humility, and practical wisdom Caitlyn and Brandon share have challenged me to take ownership of my actions instead of blaming my spouse. One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that healing isn't about being right—it's about rebuilding connection. Their teaching on staying curious, following through on your word, sitting with your spouse's pain... more
I found this podcast while scrolling on Facebook. I am so thankful and it’s true, the algorithm puts out what you are looking for. I have listened to it twice now and I am going to pray hard that my husband will take the suggestion to listen to it open heartedly. For him to hear what I am feeling and cannot communicate to him. What I want with him. What I need from him. What he needs for himself. You two are a beautiful couple with the openness to share your hardship and help others. You are MY ... more
This is the most liberating listening you can spend your time to. And as you listen you can face so many parts of your self that hasn’t got to be alive and then you WANT to create your own version of yourself. Brandon and Caitlyn, you are the most terrific, loving and brave humans alive right now!
Thank you soooo much, for speaking what I have lived for so long in my aloneness, I’m not anymore ❤️🌹🥳
