Appreciated
Really appreciated the latest episode in which Jayson & his wife talked candidly about their own relationship struggles over the holidays. It’s actually really encouraging to know that even relationship experts trip up and struggle sometimes!

A let down
The episodes he does with couples can be interesting and helpful. He lost me on the episode where he talked about new Dads and in the middle of it said the episode was for the ‘well off families’. Sorry I’m not a ‘well off’ Dad that has to work overnight shift and a second job so Mom can be home more. I honestly could not believe he said that. Also, he cusses like a teenager. Hard to take a man and ‘counselor’ seriously when he talks like a guy your sitting next to at a bar. At times he seems unprepared and rambles. I had hopes for this podcast but for me it’s just a let down.

Thank you & then some!!!
After repeating a never-ending argument pattern (learned that from one of your episodes 😉) with my husband of 25 years, I found your podcast & am loving it!! I immediately introduced my hubby to it & we now both have hope for the future of our marriage!

Patronizing
I found Jayson's discussion of parenting very dismissive and judgmental. He repeatedly spoke about whether parents care about relationships with their kids, with assumptions that certain actions mean they do or do not. I did not hear any concrete guidance.

A big thank you!
Stumbled upon The Relationship School Podcast and listened to Carolyn Bankston and Jayson Gaddis episode, you have just changed my life. After 46 years of living, stumbling, taking one step forward and five steps back, I see a light. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Audio quality
I would love to see them improve their mic quality. There’s a lot of background white noise. The content of this show but the buzzing is distracting

Wonderful podcast- SO many valuable episodes
I have been listening to this podcast for several years now. Every episode has value, some IMMENSE value!! The people that Jayson interviews are knowledgeable and have a lot of helpful information, strategies, tools, etc. to share. Even the coffee talk style episodes that he has done with his wife Ellen, in recent years, are informative, have expanded my awareness in regard to myself and others and provide me with many great takeaways. Thank you Jayson for all you do to help make the world a better place!

Authentic style & content ~ accessible yet nuanced
Check out the extensive “back catalogue” of past shows. So many spot on & uber-useful life lessons from these folks. Pitched more toward those under 50 - so the language / presentation is of-the-moment and often fun. My only caveat is that, occasionally, there’s too much meandering chat between Jayson & his therapist partner. I am impatient for the excellent, straightforward topic content. (Oh, where is my mindfulness / compassion when I need it 🦑?) Usually, though, the TRS pod is truly worth your time.

Hooked
I was introduced to Jayson’s work a couple of years ago. Recognizing my lack of skills, i was interested in his approach to relationships. I dove in and just completed my training to be a coach. This stuff helps with all of your relations and most importantly the relationship with yourself. Keep on growing, keep on pushing to be a better person… the world needs more caring & loving! Jayson and Ellen’s work is a BIG part of the solution for a healthy planet…

Great content!
I’m a therapist in Alpharetta, GA and listen to this podcast often while exercising. I just finished listening to episode 395 on the anxious-avoidant couple. Such great content! I loved the opportunity to hear the way another therapist works. It is so helpful to hear how knowledge gets translated into practice. Thank you for your work!

Do not purchase RS Courses
Customer service at Relationship School is incredibly disorganized and does not model the communication skills discussed in Getting to Zero. They have not provided the materials purchased, did not host the scheduled calls, and have been incredibly difficult to work with. I have provided explicit details of the various issued and not received a response or a genuine apology for the difficulty. Yes, I asked for an apology as Jason doesn’t believe you should apologize unless it’s meaningful to the person. I’ve asked more than once. The closest thing I’ve received is, “I’m sorry you experienced communication issues,” as they tried to blame emails going to spam. Later they confirmed the emails were NEVER sent.

Beautiful and thoughtful conversations
Wow, just noticing myself wanting to take a few weeks off from my day job and listen to each podcast episode. Just stumbled across you/your podcast a few days ago. Started out looking for a couples therapist. Now very strongly considering applying for the couples coaching school for a number of reasons. Listening to podcast episodes is strengthening interest and alignment. Really loving what Im hearing, the people you attract, appreciating the sincerity and thoughtfulness and in many ways, re-connecting with displaced parts of myself.

Thought provoking and on point
Thank you for these podcasts. The topics and discussions open my mind and have lead me to dive deeper into myself and my own limiting beliefs about myself and relationships. I know that there will always be work to be done but these podcasts help me navigate that road and get me to be better version of me.

This podcast has become a main source of exposure to life-altering concepts and self-reflection. With humility and curiosity may you consider the content, take what serves you, and leave what doesn’t. If you want to grow and embrace relational adeptness you will find much that serves you here!

A path to growth
Coming out of a 21 year marriage and looking to grow and learn so as to not repeat my mistakes. Jason’s podcast has been instrumental in my growth and the fostering of an amazing relationship with my partner. Thank you. Working my way through all 300+ episodes.

Incredibly helpful!
Wow. After 27 years of marriage where I felt like my partner and I were rarely on the same page (and totally his fault) I decided it was time to learn about relationships. I started with episode 1 about 4 months ago and have listened to about 250 episodes, mostly in order, so far, even the ones that sounded like topics that didn’t necessarily pertain to me. I’ve learned practical tools and techniques for communicating more directly as well as how to repair after conflict. And even more importantly, I feel like I’ve gone through a paradigm shift for what it means to be in a long term, committed relationship and how I contribute to how amazing that relationship is (or not). I feel truly grateful to Jason and his wife Ellen for freely sharing so much of their expertise. I highly recommend this podcast to everyone.

Transformative!
So much value and wisdom provided in this podcast. Jayson provides knowledge with the added benefit of actionable steps to improve the listener’s ability to relate and communicate. For Jayson specifically: You’re very clear in your intention to integrate relational knowledge into education. So, I also want to add that I’ve integrated concepts that I’ve learned from you into a college course I teach on professionalism. I approach professionalism through the lens of self-awareness and include topics like emotional intelligence, navigating conflict, and giving and providing feedback. Just wanted to let you know that your goal of providing information to future generations is being realized. Thank you, sincerely, for your work and vision!

Makes Me Feel Human
I don’t have a success story to share, I haven’t listened long enough. All I have is the way I’ve been able to personally relieve the stress of feeling like no one understands. The amount of different people, scenarios, examples and opinions that are available within the episodes of this podcast are extensive… I hear little bits of my problems in almost every different one, and when I don’t I hear a little bit about someone else’s problems in my life. You’ll be able to relate, and benefit just from listening and feeling no longer alone in your problems. I hope one day I’ll have a success story and be able to leave another review!

Successful & Healthy
That’s what I am and that’s what anyone can have if you listen to this podcast and apply the very real skills that are talked about, explained and engaged in through out the podcasts. I’ve been a listener for years and I am a more capable woman in my life, work and intimate relationships because of what I’ve learned and applied from the podcasts. Thank you Jayson for YOUR dream and goals, as well as the methodology you created!! Your podcasts support healing and accountability through increased awareness and skill acquisition. I now engage more regularly in mutually beneficial relationships, this has profoundly changed my life!

Jayson is the Man, So Helpful!
I started my self-improvement journey with Jayson in 2016, I've added other podcasts but 5-years later his podcast is still in my queue while others have been dropped! Not one episode missed or skipped, this dude has something valuable and worthwhile to share with every single episode. If you haven't subscribed yet, there's no reason to wait. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, "Do It, Do It Now!".

Great action-based tools
So much great info, with juicy tips and questions to ask yourself to help you find a healthy relationship. It helped me end a relationship that was loving but not serving my non-negotiable needs with grace, heal and grow in clarity—and now, establishing a relationship that works for me and my partner.

Self-promotional and disrespectful to both the highly skilled professionals he interviews & audience
I really wanted to like this podcast because he has some amazingly skilled couples therapists and attachment pioneers on from time to time, and I tried hard to give it a chance but every episode left me with a high level visceral experience of disgust. For all the 20-25 minute short podcasts, he spends the first 10 minutes rattling on about wanting people to leave him great reviews. Self-promo should not be 40-50% of the episode - that feels really self-serving and was a real turnoff not just from the podcast but the "school" itself. I saw him use a lot of other hyper agressive toxic patriarchal marketing tactics on instagram and fb ads and wish this guy would give being real and authentic a try instead of using those approaches which are such a turnoff. One of the other awful things was I kept feeling like he's not fully present with the people he interviews - he often cuts them off in the middle of them making a really good point to interject with a question he things is more important, but it's usually nowhere near as interesting as what they were saying. Then he has these amazingly gifted relationship therapists on and I swear I could hear him checking out at times and wondered if it was just me, but nope - then I could hear his keyboard super quickly and loudly clacking away WHILE HIS GUESTS ARE TALKING. Instead of listening to this great, skilled professionals and learning from them so he can get better at what he does, he wastes the opportunity by multitasking which is rude to them, but also rude to listeners because then they have to navigate the distraction instead of being able to soak up the wisdom of these incredible people. Jayson seems to very focused on himself, which I get comes from some unresolved wounding and insecurites, but wow - to think you are trying to teach other people from that place instead of taking what these people who are more skilled and experienced in and learn and grow. Honestly just awful. Don't waste as many hours on it as I did. There are so many other relationship podcasts out there that actually respect the people it interviews and where people are humble and take responsibility for their humanness.

Thanks after break up
This is helping me work through a recent break up and see the reasons it happened and what key elements were missing from the relationship. Makes me actually feel positive about the future and confirms that what I sensed was missing was valid real stuff that matters. Thanks.

I wish everyone in a relationship could listen to this podcast. So many amazing gems. The inability to resolve conflict leads to 10 years taken off of one’s life. This is how essential it is that we learn how to work through problems, trauma and conflict. Thank you for sharing this gem and your amazing podcast!

This podcast has been a god send during a time in my life with my partner of 10 years where we have reached a breaking point. It has helped to open my eyes and allowed me to take a deeper look at myself. I feel that if/when we do chose to reconnect that I will have the tools to enter that with openness and self awareness to create a positive spring for growth individually and together. Thank you.

Just what I need, always
Jason, thank you for the work you do to keep us learning. Anecdote alert- these days have been a struggle for me mentally. As I got on my car, I asked God to send help my way today and like usual, I decided to listen to an episode. While the topic was helpful (Fear of Abandonment), Jason started the recording by saying: “whatever you’re facing today, you’ve got this...” and that was the help I needed. Thank you, always.

Nothing Else Out There As Useful as This Podcast
Jason, thank you for all of these podcasts and your continued work to help us do better in relationships. I am thankful for these free and highly educational talks that are immediately understandable and relatable. What a gift you are, thank you. Most recently, I appreciate episode 323 with your wife in which you outline the four questions that couples can examine about the kind of relationship they want to share. Again, you guys are the best help out there.

I’m thoroughly enjoying the experts and discussions on this podcast. I’m so grateful for the pointers on parenting, being a better communicator at work, and how to be healthier in relationships. One of my favorite guests was the angry therapist. So real! This is benefitting me as a teacher of middle school students and as a single mom of a little boy. You give me hope that I can try my best to provide a great example to him, though his dad is not very involved.

Real and Raw...the real deal
Jayson, Ellen, and his guests speak to the heart of relationships. Sometimes their talks are funny, sad, and upsetting, but they always speak to the depths and challenge me to step up and show up. This podcast offers variety, facts, entertainment, and opportunity to grow as a human being in relationship! If you’re not willing to take ownership and responsibility for your life, then this podcast probably isn’t for you. However, if you’re willing and ready, hop on board and get ready for your life to drastically change into something radical! Peace and love ✌️💛 Thanks for everything!!!

Greatest decision of my life to this day.
Jayson, just when I started to trust a man who wear’s white sunglasses, you flip the script with these neo-funk yellow lenses. I can dig though. I have listened to this podcast over 4 years, completed DPIR and am half way through RCT. This podcast reminded me of my story and why I am on the mission that I am. THANK YOU. You (and John Kim) reminded me how grateful I am to be a male in this day and age with the opportunity to reshape the masculine expression in today’s society. I am extremely privileged and STOKED to be a dude right now. I might still be in a lot of pain and confusion without your work, the podcast, and the school. Attending The Relationship School is one of the GREATEST decisions I have made in my my life to this day. It has empowered me to connect with myself, my experience, the people I love and complete strangers on a-whole-nother level. The next best choice I make in life will be the woman I ask to be my wife and mother to our beautiful children. Big ups to everything you and your team are doing. Lots of love and respect to Ellen and the family unit. Namasté

Thank you Jayson for offering a wealth of info for free with these podcasts. Compared to other podcasts that have incessant commercials, I’m happy to listen to you read a review and plug the school. For years now I have reached to your podcasts for inspiration and reflection. Request: I would love to see a podcast dedicated to disorganized attachment. I think we will be seeing more and more of that developmental trauma-based style and it merits a whole podcast. Peace and many thanks.

A little disappointed
I follow Jason on IG and really enjoy a lot of his content. The episode with his wife, Ellen, was so frustrating! The two were rambling on the quite a bit and then made several statements insinuating that attachment styles are all equal and complimentary.... really belies the fact that there is a preferred attachment style - SECURE... and that that is the goal. I’m no expert but have done a lot of reading and researching (Attached, Hold me tight... etc) and this podcast was at wills with some of the main tenants of the originators of attachment style theory.

Just okay
I’m sure there are many people who like it and some who don’t. Just opinions. 1. I think it’s super strange to read your own reviews at the beginning of the podcasts. Like hey I’m so great. I can’t imagine doing that in a business before someone works with you or buys your book. Just strange. 2. I think some of the guests are good and helpful. However, it’s extremely slowwww. An hour podcast 20 minutes are ready reviews and advertising his other business workshops etc. it would be much more interesting just getting to the point and at the end spending 30 seconds sharing marketing stuff. 3. Ive listened to a few and someone is typing throughout the podcast and phone is going off. I just can’t. Good information but not good structure. To each their own I suppose.

Great podcast in so many areas
This is a great entry point to taking action and accountability with ourselves in relationship. I like that he brings a range of guests with different specialties like the recent one he brought in about our relationship to money and the narcissism episodes. I took the 2 day workshop on how to do conflict and got a lot from practicing active listening and getting to observe how other couples deal with their challenges. As an educator, I will take the many relational lessons this podcast offers to my class and I appreciate the realness he brings to his approach.

Major shout out from a high school health teacher!
I LOVE this podcast! I am a high school Health teacher and a big personal growth junkie. I love how Jayson always asks his guests what they would say to a group of teens. I find it so helpful in applying these concepts and beautiful insights into the social and emotional lessons for my students. These topics spark great classroom discussions! I have been surprised at how much my students are interested in what makes relationships work. This podcast deepens my own relationships and helps me face my own demons. AND it helps me teach the next generation skills to lead them to fulfilling happiness. I am so, so appreciative!

So much value here!!
This podcast has truly been life changing and is having a massive impact on how I show up for my relationships with others and also my relationship with myself. Jayson has a spirit of kindness and loving acceptance that makes it ok to break it down and own your sh**, because he then takes you by the hand and creates a place where you are safe to repair and rebuild in ways that will serve you better. He’s the friend we all need.

Insight Full, Inspiring, & Innovative
Jayson has a revolutionary approach to relationships and his tools and teachings are super effective for transforming interactions with others. Highly growth focused, with home truths - listen and be ready to view relationship through a different healthier lens. Here’s hoping that Jayson’s teachings continue to spread across our culture - I’ve been listening to this podcast since 2015 and watching it grow has been wonderful to see. All of the episodes are worth diving into - the short tidbits and the longer interviews will stimulate you to think deeply about how to grow in relationship. Thank you Jayson!

Impossible to describe my gratitude for the benefit, joy, knowledge and tools for relational living that Jayson brings to my life in this podcast. Through his guests and personal sharing around the commitment to the long term loving relationship, I now have a dynamic set of trails to follow. I have a newfound passion for life and love that I never thought would be possible. He has illustrated and revolutionized for the listener the concepts of vulnerability, boundaries, commitment, integrity and true love through this thoughtful, challenging, insightful and always entertaining podcast. Jaysons dedication to always bring the conversation back to the focus of a loving committed relationship and keeping ideas relevant to the subject is remarkable. Thank you Jayson.

Awesome, life-changing podcast!
A must-listen for anyone who wants to grow and thrive in their relationships! I found the podcast after divorce and realized that, indeed, most of what I had learned about relationships and marriage was unhealthy and unsustainable. Now, I can learn from Jayson and the Relationship School about skills that really matter. The variety is great. I really enjoy the ones that focus on trauma and conflict. There is something here for everyone!

Useful Info
This podcast is one of the good ones! There is a lot of unreliable content out there for people trying to learn more about personal growth, improve relationship skills, heal trauma, get sober, etc. and it can be daunting to sort through it all in order to find quality information. is a top notch podcast for anyone. The content is always delivered in an empathetic but direct way, which is really important for me. Thanks Jayson!

I haven't found any podcasts on relationships that have helped me as much as this one. Your episides on healthy expectaions and needs have helped me a lot in realizing that my own are valid. That's making a difference in my life. I highly reccomend this to anyone seeking to learn and improve their relationships, gain insight into what makes that challenging, wants to grow as a person and do the work to improve the loving relationships in your life. I have shared episodes with friends and bought books by guests you've interviewed. You provide so much value. Thank you for creating excellent content in an important area of our life so we receive little education about!

My boyfriend spent 10 years growing up in a South American orphanage. After dating for 7 months, some issues started bubbling up. I sent Episode 149: Fear of Abandonment to him, and it changed his trajectory. So many podcasters are cheesy and annoying; Jayson is level headed and informative, so I felt good forwarding that episode to him. Go back and listen from the beginning; all of them are relevant to being an emotionally healthy human being. Many thanks.

Thank you! I was introduced to your work by a friend and I have to say it is life changing. To be heard, seen, validated, appreciated and celebrated is so crucial when in relationship with anyone. This has brought so much clarity to my life. Helping me navigate through my relationships with my husband, my teenagers, my Mom and Dad... pretty much everyone I associate with. Thank you for sharing these tools!!

Very informative!
Hey Jayson - thank you so much for offering all of this information! I’ve been going through a spiritual awakening the last couple years which also applies to the toxic romantic relationship I’m currently in. This has helped me so much to know what a healthy relationship with yourself and with another person is. I really appreciate all of this again and I will continue tuning in! 💖

Able to imagine better
Thank you for getting all of this amazing content into the world. For too many years I’ve lived by the mantra - at least I’m not as bad as ... - meanwhile, my long-suffering wife has had to endure a marriage devoid of consistent connection and real intimacy. I’m realizing now that the tools needed for healthy relationship/friendship are NOT necessarily intuitive- they need to be modeled, inspired, taught and practiced practiced practiced. Really, listening to a bunch of your pods has helped me to imagine a new relational landscape and encouraged me to journey onward. I hope my wife and I will be able to model a new kind of love and friendship for our three kids and establish a lasting legacy for our family. Keep grinding, my man- folks need to hear this stuff! Peace.

Jason Gaddis has been guiding me through my relationship world for years now. Each podcast is unique and the speakers he hosts are powerful. I like to pick certain podcasts that target what I’m needing to learn through relationship, and find something fruitful each time. Although geared towards men at times, I find the podcasts particularly relevant to anyone, including myself as a woman, and recommend this to any ONE, whether in relationship or single. Thanks Jason!

A MUST
Found Jayson's work in early 2018 when the rug was pulled under my feet and my marriage of 15 years (together for 21) was suddenly (for me) falling apart. I dove into it, wanting to change my partner, save my marriage, but instead I found myself working on myself. Extremely uncomfortable yet necessary and eye opening. HIs work led me to a lot of other things, related to growth, self-development, parenting and relationships (whether intimate or otherwise). It allowed me to step away from my marriage, after 10 painful months of wanting it to save, yet getting smarter about myself and stronger. When I finally ended it I KNEW that I had done ALL that I could have done. It also allowed me to be comfortable alone (I found I am really god company), dig deep, and eventually be open for a new relationship. I am continously working on the relationship with my kids, wanting to be the best parent I can possibly be, and not let them fall into the same loop that their parents did, and their parents before etc. I started the IP course with the intent of being able to communicate better with my ex for the kids' sake. But also to rock my new relationship. Growth is painful. And worth it!

This podcast has seen me through the ups and downs of being in long term partnership and has always left me feeling empowered with choice, and responsibility and a deeper connection with my self. Jayson interviews leading experts and visionaries on what healthy relationship looks like and how we can achieve it. Always love the action steps and the end of every episode making the knowledge applicable in our life. I highly recommend this show to anyone and everyone since relationship is the core of our life.

I found this podcast after googling “How comes my bf doesn’t like to hug”. I was desperate to understand what was wrong with my relationship, what was wrong with me. Little did I know that such a simple search would expand my awareness beyond comprehension. I have learned so much about myself. One the first things I learned from Jayson is “you are not broken” I was so freaking relieved. I am learning so much, Like my attachment style with my partner, children and parents and how it has shaped me as an individual. I am working the best relationship coach from Jayson’s school. I am so grateful to feel like I am productively working on my life. Thank you Jayson. Your work has been a bright shining light of hope.

I am a licensed mental health therapist and I enjoy each and everyone of these. I take a walk each day at lunch to counter the sitting required for my healing work. I feel less alone and more confident. Private practice is very isolating and this really helps me feel connected to others in the healing field.

I began listening to this podcast just as my partner and I were getting into therapy. The assistance and guideance I have received, just from listening, is worthy to me. The FB page in support of this podcast is good too. Had I found this prior to finding an in-person therapist, I might have employed a person in the Relationship School community. This podcast is worth listening to.

Life changing in a clear way
Wow just wow! This podcast showed & taught me the exact information I was seeking & needing to learn. Being in a dead marriage yet not wanting a divorce I was stuck & hugely afraid to repeat the same issues or mistakes moving forward with another man. Right....the grass isn’t greener etc etc.... I listened to many many podcasts & bought ESH. Then eventually went to the weekend in Boulder CO for the Embracing Conflict class. HUGE HUGE learning! I’m now happily divorced & live my life like a different person. My health is way better. My circle of friends is phenomenal. My family relationships are clearer & deeper. And I even have huge advancements in my career as well. I’m forever grateful to Jayson & his staff! Laura

The episode on Narcissism changed my marriage!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For this great podcast. I found your episode on Narcissism to be really helpful and had a HUGE a-ha moment while listening. During some of our more heated arguments, my partner would get frustrated with me and try to tell me that he is not responsible for my feelings. In each conflict is a clue, and it wasn’t until I listened to the episode on narcissism how my family of origin impacted some unhealthy boundary setting (or lack there of). If I assume the role of caretaker and feel responsible for his happiness, it’s likely that I am expecting him to looking over mine. Since realizing this, I have turned a corner in my personal growth and in my marriage. Thank you and can’t wait for your new episodes each week.

Listen to this podcast!
I listened to all (at this time) 265 episodes of this podcast over the past 2 months. It was a deep dive into all things relationship. If I haven’t re-wired my brain, I have absolutely shifted my perspective, understanding, practice and expectations of relationship. As a result I feel freer, more available, and more aware of my own actions, thoughts and accountability. I highly recommend it.

A true gift to yourself
I stumbled upon Jayson’s podcast when I first encountered issues in my relationship. I was perplexed because I wanted this relationship SO BAD so why wasn’t it working out? Jayson’s real-life anecdotes and interviews addressed everything I was feeling. Suddenly I wasn’t alone nor was I abnormal in my experience. Each week, I listened. And I learned. And continue to do so with full understanding this relationship business is a path. I am eternally grateful.

As someone who has already done years and years of personal and couples work, among others with David Deida and Satyen Raja ( who are on this podcast!!! Amazing), as well has done somatic work ,like Body Mind centering and shamanic work,I can tell you this podcast does not disappoint even those of us who have been diving deep for a while . There are new elements to visits and contemplate. I am impressed! Thank you! One word to the theme music -feels triggering -like shadow sexuality. Maybe that’s just me.

I really appreciate the deep insights he has on intimate relationships, but more importantly I value how well he communicates those insights, even complex concepts, in ways that I can comprehend and implement in my life. I also admire Jayson for the humble yet direct way he gives examples from his own life as a husband and as a dad.

Overly generic and PC
In the two episodes I listened too about what men and women want from each other the conversations are 50,000 ft view with no skills based help. Rather than just sticking with their gender format stated at the start, they kept interrupting themselves with pc gender corrections.

Insightful, straight-talking, PASSIONATE guy who knows his stuff and wants to make relationship better for all. Jayson snags some awesome guests and gets into deep, useful conversation with them and has some amazing advice and wisdom himself. The podcast is a great companion in doing your personal work and work as a couple and guides you to both practical tips (especially in the action step!) and food for thought that can help make you be the best version of yourself in all relationships. Have highly recommended to others and will continue to do so. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself and your work with us, Jayson.

Deep Gratitude and Thanks
I’ve been married to my husband and high school sweetheart for almost 27 years. We’ve been in each others’ lives for over 30!! We’ve lived all over the US and in several other countries, and we have three beautiful adult children. The last ten years or so have been amazingly interesting and challenging, filled with a lot of change and a lot of pain. Due to a fairy traumatic childhood, I’ve always read and researched a lot on psychology, the brain, depression, and relationships. I thought I had a good handle on this self-growth and development ‘thing’... but I was wrong. My husband and I have been taking about separating for about two years now. It was right around our 25th anniversary that things started looking hopelessly gloomy! Right when one would think things should be easy and celebrated, we were at our lowest! We tried lots of things: self-help relationship books, therapy, both individually and together, and once we even actually decided to go our separate ways... but something always keeps us together, fighting the good fight. However, we were/are both getting really tired. I was ‘diagnosed’ with major depression and PTSD many years ago and I have always been on the search for drug free treatment. I’ve done CBT, EMDR and other individual therapy. What I found to be most helpful was neurotherapy and meditation... and just simply restructuring how I think. My point is that I’ve done a lot of ‘work’ and I have read a lot too. But there was always a missing ‘thing’, especially when it came time to my relationship with my husband. I somehow recently found the The Smart Couple podcast. I have no idea how, but I’m glad I did. I dove in and have listened to most of the episodes. Sometimes I listen to them twice. I’ve shared many with my husband, and we both have found very practical tools to use immediately - aha... the missing ‘thing’. I’ve also found more help in reading material from new names like Dr. Demartini and Stan Tatkin. Don’t even ask me how I hadn’t ever heard these names before. In conclusion, I can already feel relief! I can already see how my husband and I are using practical, logical tools to navigate our relationship more positively and effectively. We have a lot to learn and a lot to practice, but for once in a long, long time I am feeling more hopeful, and for that I offer you the deepest gratitude and thanks!

It wouldn’t be bad if...
If you don’t mind SJW crap. One episode had the host apologize to those of color for him being a white guy. If you did nothing wrong then there is no need to say sorry. There were several episodes that prefaced their show with apologies. Relationships are of equality and people can’t respect you if your kissing their backside all the time.

Healing myself
Jayson has helped me find my tools that I was missing while I was married. I am so thankful for how much I have grown from listening to the podcast and all of his webinars! My wife and I just got a divorce and I believe the reason it happened is because of a closed heart on both sides. I am learning it now how important it is to communicate everything with your partner and not to hold anything back. Thank you Jayson!

It's deeply affirming to find a community of people who believe in the value and work of intimate relationships; I so appreciate this resource and the tools I'm acquiring from the collective wisdom shared so freely here! I don't know yet if my partner is willing to dive into this with me, but even if I dive alone I know I'll be richer for it and better equipped to create the kind of relationships and world I want to live in. Thank you for the courage to share your beautiful hearts with us Ellen and Jayson!

The Relationship School (and the Smart Couple Podcast) continues to bring a depth of meaning and has been a solid resource for growth in my life. As well, on a bigger scale, Jayson Gaddis and The Relationship school increase the hope I feel for future generations (like my daughter) and what they may have available to them to create vibrant, sustainable, fulfilling relationships.

Giving me inspiration and hope
I just started listening to this podcast with reasons everyone else is. I’m engaged to the most beautiful woman and we are now 10 weeks pregnant. We have hit some strong tides and have talked about splitting up once in a while. I’ve felt hopeless and felt trapped and always shut down and get angry when we get in fights. Jayson has made me realize how I’ve brought my past into my present relationship and how I have causes stress and conflict. My fiancé has had the most patience and we’ve given each other chances. We’ve had threats here and there of leaving, as Jayson explains “Security Conflicts.” The reality that others are going through this helps give me hope, and now I can’t wait to see my fiancé after she gets off work. Thank you Jayson!

Perfect timing
This podcast came into my life a couple of weeks ago at a time i needed it most. It has helped me step outside myself and better see things from my husbands perspective. I’ve listened to episodes dating all the way back to last summer (to get my Dan Siegel fix) and have loved the variety of guests. Keep up the great work. I’m a marriage family therapist who will reference this often.

Jayson, his wife, and team, are such a powerhouse of information. I’m thankful that I stumbled upon this podcast years ago and then I can learn on my daily commute and challenge myself to grow. Super thankful for all that Jayson does.

I have been listening to Jayson’s podcast for about 6 months and love the information and the great interviews he does with leading minds in relationship, marriage, sexuality and conflict. I download and listen on walks and plane flights. The content delivered with humanity inspires me to make it to Boulder sometime for a workshop.

Jayson’s communicating style is thoughtful and grounded. He keeps discovering the nuggets from professionals who specialize in the fields of relationships, connection, self development, and functional neurology. I recommend his work to my patients and individuals who seek resources to better themselves. Great work Jayson, keep on keeping it real and grounded!

I’m around episode 11, and I am super grateful for this podcast and the important influence it is without a doubt having in the world. I imagine a wave crashing over the relationship world, and moving and shaking the cultural norms surrounding marriage and partnership. These episodes and the guests featured are powerful, brilliant and extraordinarily diverse—some of what I hear aligns with who I am, and other parts are helpful to consider though they may not be for me. Thank you for this podcast! So valuable!

Grist for the mill
Have an issue in your relationship? Chances are it’s covered somewhere in this podcast. This is cutting edge relationship advice that is street level, non-cliched, smart, and challenging, yet somehow common sense and straightforward. Think I’ve listened to every episode in the past couple years. I owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Gaddis for this podcast

Smart Couple Podcast
I have learned so much from these interviews and have passed them along to others. The information is scientifically sound (I’m a physician), and presented in a way that is easy to understand and apply. I’m looking forward to the day that we will teach this kind of information about relationships (along with reading, writing, and arithmetic) to all of our children!

For those who are invested in having a good relationship - as all of us should - his is a great podcast. I like that it’s straight talk and gives perspective in a way that’s simple and relatable. It’s also great to hear action points along with conceptual behavioral stuff.

Thank you Jayson Gaddis! Smart Couple 4 Life!!!
This podcast has literally changed my life and every relationship in it. I’ve been listening for about a year, after a colleague, who was having a rough patch with his wife, recommended it to me. As fans of self growth and a desire to enhance our connection, my girlfriend and I both dove right in (admittedly mostly her idea after 4 years into our relationship which was going well but needed an intimacy jumpstart). The Smart Couple podcast has given me the language, tools, and courage to LEAN into the difficult times and help myself and my partner live up to our life’s potential and fulfill our purpose. Jaysons work and that of his guests is cutting edge stuff... hold onto your seats, you and every relationship in your life is about to change. Sincere thank you, Jason, I do hope we can make it out to Boulder (or Bay Area) to attend one of your future weekend workshops! Zach Grass Valley, CA

I searched for something like this for a while. So grateful.
I've been spending the last few months listening through all of Jayson's podcasts from the beginning to the end. They've completely changed the way I view my relationship, but also the way I see, hear and understand the people I interact with daily at work, at my hobbies and just with friends in general. I'm shaking my head and saying "What the hell was I thinking till now?" But I can't blame myself or my wife or my friends. We just didn't know any better. And it's amazing that many of us have been to "couples therapy", but still no one explained it all to us the way Jayson, his wife and the real experts he interviews do. Keep them and your other offerings coming, Jayson.

Gratitude
I was turned on to the smart couple podcast about a year and a half ago when I met my partner. Very grateful to Jason for creating and maintaining TSC as it has been an amazing asset in cultivating the relationship I never even knew I wanted. My only constructive feedback is his plugs for his school seem unnecessarily frequent and long. I'm all for plugs in general as I want to know about his school, but I find myself skipping them at this point. This in combination with some of the click-baity advertising takes away from the podcast. My suggestion is to include the plugs, but keep them around one minute. Sounds true really does a good job modeling advertising in a podcast in a way that I feel doesn't irk me as a listener.

Essential Education
Jayson's podcast has been instrumental in teaching us how deeper learning about relationships can lead to a greater sense of well being and connection with others. This podcast is an excellent mix of practical tools and deeper inquiry into work done by leading minds and hearts in the field who care about who we are with and to each other. The implications for how we might do relationships better with our intimate partners has so much potential for impacting what we teach our children and ultimately how we get along in this world. Grow with Jayson and the community of people who are taking on this important work by tuning in.

Essential listening for couples, the uncoupled, and the seekers
The Smart Couple podcast along with Jayson's whole community of "healers" (listeners, interviewees, Facebook postings, etc.) have been instrumental in repairing the damages from the destruction of betrayal, long-held trauma, and depression. My wife and I have been married for 15 years yet were incapable of handling a major upheaval before we discovered the Smart Couple podcasts. We dove in as individuals, sometimes listening together but mostly apart. When we were able to come together we strove to emulate and practice new skills with each other, believing in the testimony of many others who Jayson brings on to the podcast. And what emerged is beyond my wildest dreams. Please, please, please give SC a listen and you will be grateful!

The smart couple podcast has been an amazing resource for me. I appreciate Jayson's no-nonsense approach and the honesty that he brings to these episodes. I also like the wide variety of guests that he has on the podcasts. As a man, I really appreciate having a resource like this to draw from, a new paradigm of how a real man communicates, because the "John Wayne" style just doesn't do it for me anymore. Thank you for pointing out an alternative and being such a great role model Jayson. I really mean that.

Insightful, Always on the Mark, and Real
I never miss an episode of the smart couple podcast, because even after visiting multitudes of therapists and reading scores of self development books, I find Jayson and his guest speakers deliver the most effective and relevant insights into navigating relationships, and being in right relationship to myself, that I have experienced. Jayson is like a strong, supportive friend on my development path. His guests are also incredibly talented in their own right and offer such brilliant curriculum in their own niches that I want to learn more about each one. If only I had this podcast at my disposal in my young adult years, I could have saved myself the heartbreak I endured by making so many wrong choices. I applaud Jayson's unerring dedication to educating everyone he can reach to bring relationship health up to the highest standards.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Jayson and the work that he is doing in the world. I found this podcast in the midst of coming out of a very nasty divorce and wanting to evaluate how I show up in relationship and what I want in my future relationships. His directness has helped me lean in to my weaknesses and take responsibility for my happiness in partnership. His insightful interviews with relationship experts have literally changed my worldview on all my relationships in my life. Thank you Jayson!

Best Relationship Podcast Ever!
I've been listening to Jayson's podcast for over a year now. The amazing episodes just keep coming. I love how self reflective he is with his own journey as a man and what he's learned coming from an emotionally unavailable guy to a loving and present partner. He has amazing actionable tips that really work. The podcasts are not just a bunch of fluff talk but give real techniques. The guests he has are really the best trailblazers in the field. I'm constantly amazed at the incredible guests. They keep the podcast fresh. Thanks Jayson for keeping it real and relative. Oh and thanks for the new q&a podcasts too! My cousin Jordan has taken your relationship school and loved it!

It's about time we debunk all the crap out there about love. We as a society need to smarten up when it comes to relationships and Jayson does a great job trying to help get us there. If every couple out there seriously listened and applied the lessons in this podcast, we'd be so much better off. I love the personal growth movement and hope more people tune in. Thanks for a great show.

I have been listening to The Smart Couple podcast for over a year now and it has helped me through very dark times. It has helped me with tools and perspectives to make sense of the complex terrain of relationships and all the wonderful and horrible things that can and do happen along the way.

Rich, raw, amazing,
I can’t say enough about this podcast! Jayson Gaddis’s work is radical, real, humble, honest, and so practical regarding work with couples. I became interested in his writing and this podcast during a time when my partnership was in a tough spot (we nearly decided to end things) — but through being a regular listener of this show, I feel like I have gained a really clear view of what a healthy, life-giving relationship should look and feel like. Fights and conflict are not nearly as scary — they’re more opportunities to use the tools right and to connect deeper. Thanks so much for the ways you serve, Jayson! You are a genuine and powerful force in this universe! So much love and gratitude. :) :) :)

This podcast is spot on and for the growth drive individual in relationship
I stumbled upon this podcast from a google search I did. I have been in a healthy partnership for the first time in my adult life (I'm 38) over the last year. I've always been naturally focused on responsibility and growth, but I avoided the area of love for years. I took it head on after my last substantial headache at the age of 35. I was tied of the repetitive pattern I was putting myself through and finally took a hard look inward. Moving from self love, to working toward understanding my fears and childhood impact, to choosing to step into love and partnership with someone. I dabbled on this podcast for a few weeks but due to a road bump I recently caused in my relationship, I seriously dove in this week. I'm swimming in it. When the student is ready the teacher will appear. The timing has been perfect. The understanding I am grasping about myself and the role a partner is to play in my life has been eye opening. I am grateful for the knowledge and the learning. It's only just the beginning. This podcast is forthright. Not for someone not tapped in. But for that someone who is, it hits the nail on the head while also providing encouragement and validation about the relationship process. I am grateful. Thank you, Jayson Gaddis.

Game Changer!
THANK YOU to Jayson Gaddis (and his wife Ellen) for showing me my blind spots and saving my marriage!!! After having our first baby, my husband and I, even though we were high school sweethearts, together for over 15 years, went into a major tailspin crisis that lasted for a year. I happened to see a Facebook ad for one of Jayson's online workshops, which I signed up for immediately out of desperation. After that, I was hooked: I started listening to his podcast, following him on social media and telling all of my friends (men and women) that they needed to start listening to him. Brilliant. I’ve always been hugely into self development and relationship tools, read tons of books and been to therapy, but NOBODY had been able to put things in such a revolutionary way as Jayson Gaddis. Now we have the *practical* step-by-step tools and techniques that we had been searching for for so long, and all of my relationships across the board have benefitted from the ideas Jayson and his guests share on his podcast. Listen to at least 3 of these before you decide it’s not for you; the knowledge offered here is crucial. Thank you again. 💖 -Sylvia Hendershott

My husband and I have listened to every podcast, many of them more than once. Our latest favorite is Episode 84. We don't listen together but it's lots of fun to talk afterwards and see what nuggets we each extracted. Your work and these podcasts have taken our marriage from ho-hum to amazing, exciting, fun. We are more connected now than ever. The tools you teach work just as well in our other relationships--with our kids, our parents, co-workers and so on. And our kids are learning, too! Our only smidgen of a complaint is that we find the use of profane language distracting at times. Otherwise, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Deep, deeper, deepest!
I have been following Jayson's work for three years now. I initially found him on a google search while I was trying to find resources to understand my ex-partner's emotional unavailability. I have been a Buddhist practioner for many years and spirituality was not new to me. However, there seemed to be a gap between my theory and practice. My relationship, at the time, was flailing and try as I might to understand the deeper reasons, most articles out there would give 'quick tips and tricks' or even propogate the myth of 'waiting for the one' to fall into one's lap. That was a truly great time, when I started delving into Jayson's material. I felt really understood when I started reading about concepts like 'pain avoidance', masculinity and escapism, what the relational space is lacking today..and so on...His work gave me a way of going deeper, what I always wanted and my understanding of relationship hasn't been the same ever since. I'm a regular listener, a therapist myself and an ardent follower of his and his wife's work. These podcasts are absolutely fantastic and if one truly does the work, there is really no looking back.

Informative, entertaining and wide variety of topics. These podcast have helped me understand my role in relationship issues by taking control of my part. Hunny not on board but the podcast help me better understand him and courage to show up as a more authentic person in all areas of my life. Look forward to each Wednesday when the new one comes out!

Great Podcast
About 9 months I found Jayson Gaddis on accident, someone I follow on Instagram reposted one of his quotes. After following him on Instagram I found out he had a podcast which I try to listen to often and will sometimes share with my boyfriend. My boyfriend now, thankfully, follows him too! He always gives good advice and ways to think about improving ourselves in order to make our relationships better. He teaches you how to take responsibility for our actions and how to listen with intent to our partners. I really enjoy reading his posts, listening and sharing his podcasts, and I honestly have never heard anyone talk about relationships in this style. He truly has helped me become a better person and girlfriend in my relationship.

Jayson I can't express my profound gratitude for what you do. It is serving me so, so much in my life already. Thank you for your courage, vulnerability, and curiosity!!!!

He'll both challenge and support you with unique tools and methods, that truly give you an eye-opening change in your perspective on marriage/long-term relationship. This podcast empowers you to have the best relationship, while growing to be the "best you" that you can be. Jayson also has amazing guests on his podcasts from time to time, along with his own wife Ellen (who's super-awesome, and brings a lot to the table during those episodes).

his podcast is incredible and the content it top notch. It is professional, well thought out, and most importantly, useful. As a professional counselor, I have a pretty good nose for BS and pop psychology. Jayson knows his stuff and works from a deep level. If you are interested in learning about yourself through the vehicle of relationship, then this podcast is perfect for you. There isn't much sugar coating and he recognizes that transformation is work. I've turned many couple friends on to this podcast and they have the same rave reviews. We are actually forming a group to discuss an episode or two each month or so. So much good stuff here, amazing guests, all around awesomeness! Dive in, do the work, enjoy!

The ONE podcast that will change your game...
Let's face it.. As Men, we tend to over invest in business, marketing, books, magazines and other content that is considered very masculine. And that's great...yet we ignore the most important part of our lives which is... RELATIONSHIPS! I love this podcast because Jayson is a regular dude who is real and open about the challenges Men face in being in a long term relationship, without the fluff and new age "vibes" of manifestation or everything being roses. Meaning, this is real, for real Couples who want to be the best versions of themselves individually and as a collective.

Incredibly helpful
Jayson is doing the world a huge favor with this podcast. People tend to have a set of expectations about what a thriving relationship would/will look like, and Jayson delivers a healthy dose of reality to counterbalance those ideas. He invites his listeners to practice radical ownership, to dig into their own interiors, and to develop the ability to identify and name their thoughts, feelings, desires, hurts, and dreams. A must-listen for anyone looking to participate in a mutually uplifting relationship.

Jason’s podcast and philosophy on relationships have encouraged and saved my relationship. His belief that intimate relationships are the most challenging thing you will ever do, but worth every effort to grow and improve has changed my paradigm. I am grateful for he and his wife’s honesty and vulnerability in their relationship to share the good, bad, challenges, and rewards. I listen on a regular basis and find encouragement and reminders that I can do this. Jason explains the difference between a challenging relationship and one that is not working. The later meaning that one person isn’t willing to work. Those are the relationships to move on from, but if you are with someone who is willing to work with you in the relationship, all the challenges are simply the result of two humans trying to work together when we each have individual pursuits. The greatest takeaway for me in this podcast is that if you don’t solve your personal relationship issues and fears with the person you are with now, they will come up in another relationship. That’s powerful stuff that I hadn’t heard before. I am *SO* incredibly grateful for all the information in Jason’s podcasts.

Tools of Empowerment
In a cluttered, confusing mash up of relationship "experts", Jayson has a refreshingly blunt, bold, heartfelt, purposeful set of tools that have changed my perspective on marriage. After 14 years of marriage, my husband and I are having tough conversations in a loving, empowering way. We are digging deep into ourselves and appreciating each other and our differences so much more! We've read lots of books, listened to lots of podcasts. This one is timely, relevant and functional to our everyday lives. Thank you, Jayson!! Keep 'em coming!! You are a shining light in an often misunderstood, neglected topic. 💜

The Smart Couple Podcast. Episode 59
Just listened to this podcast today, and it's such helpful information. Love the distinction between two kinds of expectations, and it helps me see how I have participated in both - on both sides - and the connection to resentment. As always, awesome content for REAL LIFE relationships and personal growth and development!!!

Share this with your partner...and everyone you know!
It always seems free advice goes in one ear and out the other. But not this body of work of podcasts by Jayson Gaddid. He has changed 99% of the way I look at life and relationship. So much so that what was once a situation that felt unmanageable is now enjoyable! His work is so easy to digest and implement that I shake my head at why more people don't think and live with Jayson's framework for relationship. I use it in my initmate relationship, my business relationships...heck, I use it in everything that has to do with relating! Don't miss this podcast subscription if you want to rock out your relationships.

The light to my dark
Hi Jayson and people who are interested in being a smart couple. There are many things I want and can say about Jayson's podcast, I've been listening for 3 months now and wow, to how much growth and knowledge I have gained for individual and marriage growth. Recently I was in a very dark place in my marriage and all I did was listen to Jayson, it made me cry, it made that light bulb go off inside and it made me smile and be happy. The most important valuable advice I got is to know, it's HARD! Knowing what you have to do and say and having the right tools for a successful personal growth. Thank you Jayson for teaching us how to be long term committed relationship because most of us do not know how to be. Thank you thank you thank you. Victoria

Thank you!
Jayson, I really appreciate your podcasts. I find them clear, concise and helpful. It is comforting and reassuring for me to hear from a male whose perspectives I resonate with most of the time. I am very much focused on growth and development and am quite proud of myself for that after listening to you. Please do more podcasts on the specifics of how to inspire one's partner rather than try to control them. Thank you! Amy

real, raw, vulnerable, invaluable
I've been mining the wisdom and candor of Jayson Gaddis for 2.5 years, starting at a time when my marriage was in real peril. From the very first exposure, I found myself re-invested in relationship excellence, but when the Smart Couple podcast launched, I've deepened in my ability to have my own back, even in the context of the ways in which I "show up" where there's clearly more room to "grow up." Jayson's clear voice and commitment advocacy makes me wanna dig in when it comes to all of my relationships, and it's been such a relief to feel like I have this kind of human in my corner while I'm facing myself in the process. I never miss an episode, and I wish this conversation were happening more in daily life. The Smart Couple is full of tools for anyone who's interested in strengthening relationship integrity, even if that relationship is with oneself. Thank you Jayson!!!

Jayson is the man! I look forward to this podcast every week. I love the topics he addresses and the guests he invites, especially his wife Ellen. Jayson inspires the part of me that I'm still hesitant to share. He's authentic, vulnerable & not afraid to speak about his experiences. I believe that anyone who is in a relationship or single would be able to relate to the many things that this podcast sheds light on.

I love this podcast. Some days I can be in a rough patch in my relationships at home by the time I get out the door for work. I put this podcast on and completely shift to being centered and more in line with my best self within 45 minutes. What I appreciate the most is it cuts right to the meat of the topic. It's refreshing to hear Jayson's honesty and that of his guests. The guests are very interesting beings and I always leave the podcast wanting to look them up on the web.

Authentic man! Real life tools!
I've been following Jayson for years! His content is so deep and powerful. He truly wishes to see all couples in healthy, loving relationships. He promotes hard work--not the false idea that relationship is all roses. Be prepared to get a dose of loving reality. Jayson is the real deal-he actually practices what he preaches. The caliber of guests he brings on the show is out of this world.

Each time I listen to this podcast I gain a helpful tool to put into my relationship tool belt.

Most importantly, this is geared towards both women & men to help us create unity & approach relationship from the same vision, instead of gendered division in relationship.

My friend turned me on to The Smart Couple and I really look forward to new episodes and love going back to listen to old ones I missed. Jayson has great topics and amazing guests that really bring a healthy, perspective that isn't the typical social norm of what is acceptable when in relationship long term. Jayson himself can be intense, but it clearly fueled by his passion for the topic, which is so appreciated. I love sharing the episodes with my partner and creating dialogue. Thank you for bringing light and health giving fuel to long-term relationships.

Really enjoy this podcast!
Hi there! I’m actually single, I ran into this podcast when I was approached with a poly-amorous and was doing research on the subject. What I found as I listened, is that the podcast is actually an amazing tool on communication skills in general - very applicable to work/professional settings, one’s relationship with self and with partners/friends/family. This last one on boundaries inspired me to write, phenomenal!! Keeps me expanding and curious, thanks so much Jayson and contributors!

I found Jayson Gaddis's work last summer during some pretty tough times in my relationship and personal development. I reached enough pain to where I was willing and taking action to do what ever I needed to do to grow. Finding Jayson's podcast was eye-opening to a no-nonsense, heartfelt approach to relationships but most importantly to finding your authentic self and learning how to stay true to yourself. I now follow Jayson's podcast, periscope, blogs, and when I can take his classes because it's truly been useful to actually seeing results. Don't get me wrong I spent months with one foot in and foot out, and the results were mediocre just like my efforts. But as soon as I delved fully the results are night and day. He's built an amazing community to help you along the way. I am so grateful for his work which to me was part of the final piece after many years of therapy and repetitive mistakes that only reinforced the behaviors and self-views I kept "saying" I wanted to change. I recommend this podcast and all of the other resources Jayson's offers to anyone who just wants to better themselves and their relationships (romantic and other types).

I have listened faithfully and shared this with so many friends and of course my own love. We listen together and my man really enjoys Jayson’s work also. Jayson is not only bringing this wonderfully rich, real and raw advice to the masses, but he and his wife are LIVING it. He is the real deal, I trust him and the experts he works with.

I am finally learning how to own my bullsh** with help from this podcast. I have passed along many of Jayson's podcasts to friends and family because I am so excited about finally learning tools that really would have helped me 10 or 15 years ago in dealing with all kinds of relationship stuff. I'm super stoked that it won't be another 10 or 15 years of me doing the same thing!

They are intense but if you want to grow and improve your relationship with yourself and those around you it is essential. This is important work and I wish I would have started sooner….but it is never to late. There are always great experts on as quests who practice what they preach. It not just reading material and theory. Its the real deal! Thanks Jayson for what you do!

Powerful, vulnerable, and juicy!
The Smart Couple podcast promises a lot- a framework for relationships in which we learn to remain in our integrity, meet our priorities, AND still have a fulfilling relationship? It sounds too good to be true. Jayson Gaddis recognizes that this is hard work, and that is just one of the aspects of this podcast that makes it so accessible. Jayson and all of his carefully selected guests on the show get vulnerable as they share the struggles they experience in their relationships. These experts and gurus are right there with us, facing the fire and holding themselves accountable, and the impact of that is great. I always end each episode feeling inspired, heart-open, ready to dig deeper in my own experience. This podcast is for anyone who is interested in growing and building self-awareness through their relationships.

This Podcast is like free couples therapy. I asked my husband to listen too and then we talk about what we got out of the podcast. We have found a treasure trove of helpful ways to see relationship that have shifted our approach and expectations of our marriage. Very edgy and “out -there” AND very real stuff to work with and improve your personal growth within relationship.

The Smart Couple Podcast & Jayson Gaddis are an unbelievable resource for anybody interested in personal growth and development. Jayson and the people he interviews are truly at the cutting edge of consciousness and the wisdom shared here will transform the way you think about both the triumphs and challenges of relationship. I’ve been married for three years and in a relationship for nine years. I consider us to be fairly aware and “doing our work” in our marriage and even so, I feel so supported and inspired by what Jayson is sharing here—I have received so many fresh insights and powerful tools to start integrating into my life right away. Thanks for the amazing content Jayson!

I have studied ( and been in) relationships for years and Jayson's podcast is the most practical and inspiring so far. ALong with his YouTube channel, the advices he gives are realistic and based on actual life, not some fantasized version of what we'd like our relationships to be, but what it takes to face our inner demons, move through the fire of relationship conflict and embrace it all with love. His latest interview with Annie Lalla has been the best one yet.

The material presented in this podcast, as well as in Jayson’s other courses, is absolutely invaluable. Uncovered in this podcast is a unique perspective about relationship, as well as a wealth of strategies designed to help people become clear about what barriers are contributing to frustration and disconnection, how to become more self aware about how they function in relationship and why, and how to become and express the most authentic version of themselves. I feel truly inspired and more connected to myself after every episode.

Jayson has cultivated a life’s work that truly resonates with the power and reality of what real relationships are. I’ve been invigorated and opened to a new way of thinking as of late around relationship and when looking for answers Jayson’s work has proved a major support. The Smart Couple synthesizes some of the best tools and more importantly understandings, that can help a major shift in our way of thinking about relationship. This work gives us direction as we sit in the ashes looking for answers and Jayson is truly a valuable guide. Special Thanks to JmoJenn for introducing me to this content.

In addition to co-writing recent New York Times bestseller The Myth of Normal with his father, Dr. Gabor Maté, Daniel is a composer, lyricist, playwright, podcaster, artist, musician, and mental chiropractor - a current day renaissance man. Hear about how Daniel relates to his father, his experience growing up with Maté privilege, and how he contextualizes the complexities of the parent-child relationship psychologically while providing us with insightful reframes that speak to how we relate to our parents as adults. A few quotes from the book we feel compelled to share with you in hopes of inspiring you to read/listen to the book: “Trauma, until we work it through, keeps us stuck in the past, robbing us of the present moment’s riches, limiting who we can be.” “What joys have you denied yourself out of a belief that you don’t deserve them, or out of a conditioned fear that they’ll be snatched away?” “Whether we realize it or not, it is our woundedness, or how we cope with it, that dictates much of our behavior, shapes our social habits, and informs our ways of thinking about the world.” “Time after time it was the “nice” people, the ones who compulsively put other’s expectations and needs ahead of their own and who repressed their so-called negative emotions, who showed up with chronic illness in my family practice, or who came under my care at the hospital palliative ward I directed.” “Chronic rage, by contrast, floods the system with stress hormones long past the allotted time. Over the long term, such a hormonal surplus, whatever may have instigated it, can make us anxious or depressed; suppress immunity; promote inflammation; narrow blood vessels, promoting vascular disease throughout the body;” “It doesn’t matter whether we can point to other people who seem more traumatized than we are, for there is no comparing suffering. Nor is it appropriate to use our own trauma as a way of placing ourselves above others—“You haven’t suffered like I have”—or as a cudgel to beat back others’ legitimate grievances when we behave destructively. We each carry our wounds in our own way; there is neither sense nor value in gauging them against those of others.” “Like our other needs, meaning is an inherent expectation. Its denial has dire consequences. Far from a purely psychological need, our hormones and nervous systems clock its presence or absence. As a medical study in 2020 found, the "presence [of] and search for meaning in life are important for health and well-being." Simply put, the more meaningful you find your life, the better your measures of mental and physical health are likely to be.

- AMA: Healing Attachment Wounds, Codependency & Happy Wife Happy Life - Jayson & Ellen - 433Curtis asks, “In your expertise, do you perceive that attachment wounds and attachment styles are healed and transformed during partnership or outside of that? I’m curious to hear your thoughts because I’ve been doing a bit of research and finding different takes on it…” Another listener wonders if these phrases signal a lack of personal responsibility in a codependent relationship: “‘I can only feel okay when she (or he) is feeling okay,’ ‘I feel I need to make her (or him) happy,’ and ‘Happy wife, happy life’ ; how would an attachment framework view codependency?”. Ellen and Jayson address how we can heal our attachment wounds/adapt our attachment styles, highlight how we impact one another, and discuss the importance of finding common ground to propel the relationship forward. Stay tuned to the end for your action steps.

- AMA—Anxiously Attached Person, Emotions and Men, Accepting Your Partner as They Are - Jayson and Ellen - 429Taber asks, “I’m an anxiously attached person and it’s become clear to me that it doesn’t work for me that my partner talks to another woman every day, behind my back. I have found proof that he has crossed the line with her before, and with anxious attachment I am not in a healthy enough place to accept him continuing friendship with this person. I’m welcoming advice on how to set this boundary for myself without just ending the relationship, and I certainly don’t want to give an ultimatum. I’m new to this and need to set my mind free.” Lestie wonders, “What do you simply accept in a relationship in the other, as opposed to trying to change it? I.e., one of you is clean, the other is messy, one is punctual, other is never on time… I’m having difficulty knowing what to and what not to address. I know Gottmans says 69% of issues in relationships aren’t resolved and it’s more about how you communicate about them than trying to change them, and where to draw the line? Some of these issues really bother me. I also tend to fall into the fixing role and can be a perfectionist, and I’m not wanting to do that in my relationship.” Angela asks, “Why do men view emotional development work as weak? I’m trying to put more insight into understanding this concept in society. I do understand society has had some old idealism about masculinity, not being in touch with emotions, and not being able to be as vulnerable because it’s seen as weakness, but I’d love to understand the depth of this and what’s really going on.” Join Ellen and Jayson’s in-depth chat as they talk through your questions in this Ask me Anything episode unpacking boundaries, insecure attachment dynamics, acceptance, and the systemic effect that is at play with men and their emotional landscape.

- AMA: Mismatched Sex Drives & How To Feel Like You’re Enough - Jayson Gaddis - 427Nicole asks, “I found your interview with (Dan) Savage to be highly enlightening and incredibly emotional. As a married straight woman in a monogamous relationship with children, I felt very triggered by the concept of ‘enough’. Am I enough? I am constantly struggling to feel like I am enough of anything, and I feel like your podcast has started to help me feel settled into an idea that monogamy and marriage can provide enough for both partners, if it is viewed as a journey and a goal. This interview ripped open some pretty deep and vulnerable wounds surrounding being enough.” Erica wonders, “I’ve been married to my husband for nine years and together for fourteen. Even in the beginning of our relationship the sex wasn’t as frequent as I’d have liked, so I had to. Now we’re married and I feel like the sissue is in the different sex drives continues to bother me. I just need to need more sex than he does. He knows that I wish he’d initiate sex more, and we’ve gone to many years of therapy. I fear this will never get better. Is it foolish to think my husband could change? Is it possible for men to become more assertive or change how often they need sex? I’m afraid to get divorced as we have a seven year old son, but I think i’m coming to terms with the fact that this issue isn’t going away as I continue to resent not feeling desired.” Tune in to hear Jayson unpack these poignant questions from fellow listeners.

- Relationship School Podcast Dec 20 · 24m AMA - Unresolved Conflicts, Sexual Desire Differences, Challenging Friends - Jayson & Ellen - 426Shavani asks, “Most times conflicts drain us of mental energy and time, even with both partners’ willingness to work through it. For me, conflict often takes hours of constant talking, fighting, and finally resolving. This is especially tough when work is involved that requires preparation and clarity. How do we work through conflict in a way that doesn’t impact other parts of our lives that are important for our personal growth and well-being?” Kim wonders, “Have you ever covered sexual frequency in a marriage? He wants it WAY more because that’s how he thinks of connection, and I don’t want it nearly enough because he won’t open up, let me in, and connect on a deeper emotional level, so there is a constant struggle.” Lilian is curious: “I have a dear friend that means well but always plays devil’s advocate when I come to her with a painful experience or when I need support. She says it’s because she’s a Libra. Where’s the line of calling your friend out on their B.S., and holding space for them with empathy in moments when they are experiencing pain?” Join Ellen and Jayson as they unpack listener questions regarding unresolved conflicts, sexual desire differences, and challenging friendships.

Does that change over time? What can I do when I get triggered by his independence?” asks @twopopcorn. “Therapists always say, ‘You’re responsible for meeting your own needs’...How do you allow yourself to depend on someone and also not expect someone to give you what you need?” Jean is curious about.

- Dependent, Independent, Interdependent - Jayson and Ellen - 423When you hear the word “dependency,” what does it conjure up for you? Feelings of resistance? Discomfort? Maybe a squirmy feeling? Or something more positive? Does it feel good for you to be needed? When we first emerge into the world as infants, we are 100% dependent on our caregiver(s) for all our physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual, and relational needs. Our parents have been responsible for every one of our needs, day in and day out, for years. It is a biological imperative to attach to our caregiver (attachment figure), and it’s completely instinctual—it’s how a baby survives. Being someone’s attachment figure is incredibly demanding. Attachment science empirically speaks to the similarity between how a child attaches to a parent and how an adult attaches to their spouse, meaning our attachment figure changes from our parent to our significant other. However, your partner is not your caregiver… Contingent on your attachment style (anxious, avoidant, secure), it can become triggering to depend on or depend on someone else. Join Jayson and Ellen to better understand healthy and unhealthy dependency, normalize it, and even use our needs and dependence to deepen connection.

- The #1 Reason Your Partner Won’t Do The Work - Jayson Gaddis - 421Do you find yourself in a relationship with someone who isn’t meeting you halfway? Are you curious to learn why your partner refuses to do their part of the work in the relationship? According to behavioral psychology, human beings are hedonistic. We prefer pleasure over pain, good over evil, comfortable over uncomfortable—even though it is through discomfort that we grow. If you listen to the podcast, I consider you a growth/developmental-oriented person. If a non-growth/developmental-oriented person stays in a relationship with you long enough, they inevitably will bump up against discomfort and will do one of three things: run, check out, or sabotage. Tune in to this short episode to learn more about avoidance tactics, the number one reason your partner resists change, and the role shame plays in this dynamic.

- Why Ages 0-3 are Vital for Healthy Child Development - Personality Disorders Part 2 with Judith Pearson, Ph. D. - 418By far the most important age to get parenting “right” is 0-3.
