Welcome to the Grounded Union Podcast, hosted by Brandon and Caitlyn Doerksen. In 2019, our marriage hit rock bottom—so close to divorce that we thought there was no way back. 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’ve loved listening to this podcast. I love the honesty and not the typical listen to this and it will fix you. The understanding that you need to have actions not just words.

  • Most honest couples podcast I’ve listened to

    I’ve been listening to many couples centered podcasts looking for help with my own marriage. I have not heard a couple that lays out more or seeks to break patterns, issues, standards, etc more than Brandon and Caitlyn. I truly enjoy listening to their words. Also listening to them challenging conventional therapists that don’t always dig deep enough or facilitate help near enough. Thank you both for what you do. I enjoy listening to your show.

    As a wife it’s hard to hear all the things my husband has struggled with but I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! Trust the process, as hurtful as it is. You will finally feel like you weren’t crazy. Your body was telling you all along. Brandon and Caitlyn’s story definitely hits home. Ours story is different but yet the same. As same I mean nothing is new under the sun, men use the same tactics on their wives regardless of what they are hiding. Thank you!!
