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

    Listening to Brandon and Caitlyn is a breath of fresh air. This podcast cuts through all of the BS so many have been trained to believe. You only don’t/won’t like it if you don’t want to face the truth of who you are. We all say we value the truth - but do we live what we say we value? The world would be an unrecognizable place if everyone took the radical steps that Brandon and Caitlyn advocate. I hope their message turns into a ripple across the world. Thank you, Brandon and Caitlyn, from the ... more

  • Healing

    I began listening to the Grounded Union podcast because I have nothing left to try. I’ve just started listening to them and while my husband seems uninterested, it’s helping me to face my own issues. And for that I am grateful. My husband will either choose to go on this journey with me or I’ll learn to be comfortable with myself. Thank you Brandon and Caitlyn for your guidance, I genuinely appreciate it.
