In 2019, our marriage hit rock bottom—so close to divorce that we thought there was no way back. But through deep healing, transformation, and a relentless pursuit of something better, we didn’t just save our marriage—we created something more beautiful than we ever imagined. On our journey, we realized that the conventional advice from counselors, pastors, and mentors wasn’t enough. So, we set out on an uncharted path, searching for real, lasting change. Now, standing on the other side, we’ve mapped out the exact process that restored our love, trust, and connection—a process we weren’t given but one we discovered through lived experience. This podcast is our invitation to you: to walk this path with us, to challenge the norms, and to build a marriage that is passionate, open, honest, deeply connected, and full of life. No one told us it was possible—but we’re here to tell you: it absolutely is. Join us on this journey. It’s not just about saving your marriage—it’s about creating one that’s stronger, richer, and more alive than ever.","last_synced_at":"2026-08-01T00:20:32.101474+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-grounded-union-podcast-7220500"},"episode":{"title":"Why is my husband STILL lying to me?","slug":"why-is-my-husband-still-lying-to-me","published_at":"2025-12-12T16:11:50+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-grounded-union-podcast-7220500/why-is-my-husband-still-lying-to-me","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-grounded-union-podcast-7220500","url":"https://groundedunionpodcast.transistor.fm/s3/1","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/68d0489a/65e3ff1b.mp3","summary":"In this episode of The Grounded Union Podcast, Brandon and Caitlyn coach Drew and Chelsea through a three-year journey of porn addiction recovery that's been overshadowed by persistent lying. In this live call-in session, Chelsea vulnerably shares her heartbreak: despite Drew's initial confession and stopping pornography, she has \"literally zero trust\" as small lies continue to surface. Brandon and Caitlyn trace Drew's compulsive dishonesty back to childhood shame and his first exposure to pornography at age eight, revealing why traditional one-time disclosures fail. They challenge Drew to embrace daily radical transparency, explaining that \"silly lies\" signal deeper hidden truths. This raw coaching session introduces their four R's rewiring process and offers a powerful promise: commit to removing the veil completely, and your marriage will be transformed within a year.
