I have been in the field for over 30 years. I appreciate how this podcast offered so many learning opportunities for me by listening to all the guests, books mentioned, and joining their facebook group. I find the host, Shane Birkel extremely giving, open and humble. I can’t thank enough for his courage to have taken the journey.
I really love this insightful content, and there are a lot of good nuggets in each episode, so props for putting it together! My issue is that the host doesn’t speak with conviction. There are so many uhhhhs, ummmmms, and pauses in his speech, it’s distracting. I know it’s meant to be largely unscripted/conversational, and this is to some extent just how we all talk, so I try to give grace. But it doesn’t feel as authoritative as it could.
I am new to working with couples, and this podcast has been so helpful for me! I enjoy all of the episodes and hearing from professionals from all over! Thank you so much for this podcast!
Helpful information and content, but the interviewee (eg: Kim Ploussard) has so many verbal pauses, including “you know,” rhetorical “right,” and “hmmm/umm,” it’s hard to listen.
It’s like she’s formulating the responses for the first time during this interview. I recommend that she listen to her own interview to improve her communication style.
Thx for this, great content! But I would love it more if you can change the music on both ends, coz it's really not friendly to the physical health of ears, and personally unbearable. Listener located in China, keep on your good work!
Fantastic (and much needed) podcast highlighting “the best of the best” in the field of couples therapy. Lots of deep dives into solid models, sub specialties and relevant cutting edge issues.
If you are a couples therapist, this is a great resource. It’s great that the focus is just couples therapy. Shane has big-time guests on and its enjoyable to listen to. I also appreciate Shane’s insight.
Thank you!
I have loved listening to these interviews and have gained a lot of insight into many different models and approaches for working with couples. I love how Shane is able to hold and present all of these different perspectives - and I appreciate that Shane really lets his guests shine. Honestly, it took me listening to a couple of episodes to get used to his style, but now his 'way' of interviewing and being with his guests is one of the things that makes this podcast so enjoyable to listen to. Highly recommended!!
Love this podcast and Shane's approach. He has relevant and experienced guests to present a variety of the best couples therapy approaches in use today. I look forward to each episode and use in my practice as a therapist!
Shane does a wonderful job of providing value and give great insight to very common issues. I appreciate that he is honest, clear and has a casual way to describe simple ways to improve your life and your work. Well done!
Shane does a great job interviewing top minds in the field of couples therapy. He has a great conversational style and I can tell he knows his stuff. I have learned a ton from listening. Keep up the great work!
So often when I think of marriage podcasts, I am tuned into sermons or christian counseling. This podcast is a unique and fresh approach from what I'm used to and I look forward to keeping up with future episodes.
I need to publicly thank Shane for putting this show up, because this podcast as already helped me. Just listening to the host's and his guests' insight and knowledge really helps and even entertains. This podcast is a "must-listen"!

Love this podcast about couples! I've already learned some things that will help me both personally for my own relationship as well as professionally, being a therapist who works with couples. Great host who is asking great questions! Looking forward to more episodes!
