In this episode, Dana sits down with therapist and author Elijah Weinstein to talk about the quiet drift that happens in marriages when kids enter the picture. From unspoken expectations and the myth of empathy to practical tools like the import/export list and full communication, he shares honest and actionable lessons on how to stop growing apart and start showing up for each other again. You don't need a perfect marriage to start strengthening it, you just need the willingness to say the hard things out loud and give your partner the full picture instead of expecting them to connect dots you never drew. Elijah's book, From I Do to We Do , is available starting March 17, 2026. Find it and all the links at eliweinsteinlcsw.com , or connect with him on Instagram at @eliweinstein.lcsw .
