I'm looking for a mom friend that wants to talk about motherhood, parenting, mental health,

marriage, friendships, and more. Unfiltered, of course. A mom friend that wants to feel

less alone in all of her seasons of life. If this is you, let's be friends. Come on over and listen to

Mama knows wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everybody. Thank you for listening to Marriage Therapy Radio. I'm Zach. I'm here with Laura.

Before we get into the episode today, I want to draw your attention to two things. First, I want to say thank you to those of you who subscribe to the new sort of writing effort that I'm taking on.

I'm writing stuff at Stuff I Write. And a handful of you have already subscribed. That's really fun and exciting.

And I hope you like what you find there. It's not relationship stuff, which is cool, I think.

It's cool for me anyway. I hope it's cool for you. If that's a thing that you want to check out,

you can go over to Stuff I Write and read that. And speaking of reading, we are continuing to add

things to the Marriage Therapy Radio bookstore. We did that thing with Amazon where if you

use our link to buy some of the books that we talk about here on the podcast, we get a cookback.

So it's a great way to improve your relationship and also support the podcast. So if you're

interested in checking out some of the books that we recommend, go to Marriage TherapyRadio.com

and check out the bookstore. But as for this episode,

Laura and I are talking a little bit about what happens when you get into old patterns

without paying attention to how to change them. We do a little role play. We learn a couple

new skills. I learn a thing or two. It's a cool conversation. Stick around.
