Hey, everybody, welcome. And thank you for listening to this episode of Marriage Therapy Radio. My name is Zach Brittle, Mir with Laura Heck. Before we get started today, I've got a couple of book-related announcements for you. Number one is our book, Reconnect. It's coming out next week on September the 10th. If you're thinking about picking that up, please go ahead and do that now. Pre-orders are a really great way to support the book, and we're really excited about it. Hope it will be a valuable resource for you. Roll on over to Marit Therapy Radio.com, click on the button we have there. That is our affiliate link, so that helps support the podcast as well, and I hope you'll pick that up. We're looking forward to sharing that with you. Another book-related announcement is that if you have already joined the book club at our Patreon, I'm going to start rolling that out this week. If you've not yet joined it, that's something that you're interested in. Please roll over again to Marriestrapyradio.com, click on the Patreon button and become a member of our community. It is another great way to support the podcast, and we are coming up with more and more

ways to share the behind-the-scenes stuff with you, including rolling out this book club from a book I wrote, I don't know, four years ago now, four or five years ago. I'm excited to share it with you. But again, now's the time, especially if you want to get started with this first round of folks that have already signed up. Again, thank you if you've already done that. And thanks to the rest of you who are about to come on board. We really appreciate you. For today, Lauren

and I are just batting around some ideas about what's come up for us personally and professionally in the last couple weeks. Hopefully you'll find a nugget or two that you can take away and apply in your own life and relationships. But for now, this is a very cool conversation. Stick around. I have a couple of questions. Go. A couple of things that I want to accomplish

today. Okay. I would like to get some support from our listeners. Maybe this will be something

also that I'll put in Patreon so that folks can just like write in. I can have that immediate

feedback. I'm building my bucket list and I really

want to know, like, I have to have top 10 items that I want to accomplish in the next 10 years.

I don't know how I'm going to accomplish it. They should be dreams, not like actual things that I can

accomplish, but I challenged one of my clients to do that. And I

have to have my, I said, I will do it if you do it. And so we made a pact. And so now I have to

hold up my end of the bargain. But I do need some support because I would love for other people

to help me to dream a little bit bigger and get some feedback on like some different bucket list

things to do.

Cool.

Yeah.

That makes me think of two things.

Number one.

Yes.

Makes me think of Patreon, which you guys, we've been having some conversations with

folks about how to, you know, fund the podcast stay on the air.

And we're going to shift pretty hard,

I think, into providing value through Patreon to our listeners, which is you. So thank you,

...
