Dive into the art of navigating transitions in relationships. From parenting and marriage to personal growth, they share stories, lessons, and the tools they’ve developed to tackle life’s big changes.

The conversation highlights how being proactive in therapy and communication can prevent the crash-and-burn moments many couples face. Julia introduces the concept of “contracting,” a strategy she and Adam used during a difficult period in their relationship, which later became a cornerstone tool in her therapy practice.

With their signature mix of humor, vulnerability, and insightful tangents (ever heard of “Sunny by Bobby Heb” as a labor playlist?), Julia and Adam explore the importance of addressing needs before they become crises and how therapy offers tools—not just advice—for life’s challenges. Tune in for real talk, practical advice, and plenty of laughs as they unpack what it means to navigate life’s transitions together.

In this lighthearted and unfiltered episode of Marriage Maintenance, Adam and Julia dive into the reality of opposites attracting—and the quirks that make their dynamic work. From Julia’s dim lighting and sleep hygiene obsession to Adam’s laid-back approach (and notorious desk clutter!), they unpack the funny moments and challenges of their relationship. With humor, love, and a few sneezes, they explore how their differences create balance, help them grow, and keep the partnership grounded. Grab a cozy seat, settle in, and laugh along as they celebrate the beauty and chaos of being truly, wonderfully different.

In this episode of Marriage Maintenance, Julia and Adam open up about their mixed feelings on podcasting and navigating the vulnerable space between sharing and privacy. They discuss the challenges of balancing honesty and humility with public exposure, how social media impacts perceptions, and why they’re committed to keeping their conversations genuine and relatable. With candid moments, laughs, and reflections on life, marriage, parenting, and mental health, they explore what it means to connect meaningfully without telling others how to live. If you’re looking for real talk with a touch of humor, this episode is for you.
