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

  • NOT CLINICAL GUIDANCE (but super honest people)

    I really appreciate this podcast because of the honesty Brandon and Caitlyn have in such a public form - and to be open about healing their marriage from betrayal trauma is a super vulnerable thing to share… AND the fact that they found a path that worked for them is so awesome to hear - AND you can get a lot from…. But NOT every couple is built this way. Not every wife should have to bare the entire responsibility of helping their husband process his story and addiction… although I will say rad... more

  • Unbiblical

    My title says it: Proceed with caution if you chose to listen. These guys are scamming on vulnerable people. Please pray if you chose to listen. This podcast starts off with episode one being promising and even sounding Christian. They have Christian backgrounds. The husband was in ministry. They say they’re here to tell their story, and share what worked for them as a couple overcoming their issues. They share grievances they’ve had with the church. Slowly it actually becomes them promising to ... more

  • Didn’t work for us

    We’ve gone through the Grounded Intimacy course. At first, it was life changing and really helped my husband and I get very close emotionally for the first time. It opened up a lot of amazing conversations. Learning about denial structures and going back to our childhood stories was eye opening. However- it got dark after that. We wanted this to work so bad, but it didn’t for us. The drip disclosures and learning all the dirty details about what my husband has looked at and thought really trauma... more

  • Refreshing!

    Brandon and Caitlyn are inspiring. They are vulnerable about what worked and what didn’t. They give couples the hope they need to realize that the kind of marriage they specifically want for their *own* marriage is absolutely within reach. You don’t need to settle for less. This podcast is incredible.
