Welcome to The Repair Your Relationship Podcast!
Hosted by Stacey Curnow, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Relationship Specialist, this podcast is your space to explore how even the most painful patterns can become a doorway to deeper connection. Whether you’re working to repair your relationship with a partner, your teenager, a friend, or a parent, you’ll find wisdom, tools, and hope here.
Most episodes are just 5 to 10 minutes – small reflections to support you in healing attachment trauma and creating more connected, joyful relationships. While many episodes will speak directly to couples, this podcast is also for Individuals who want to heal attachment wounds and understand their own patterns and families who feel stuck in power struggles or chronic conflict, including those navigating PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profiles
If you’ve ever wondered:
- Why do I react so strongly in close relationships?
- Why does my partner shut down when I need them most?
- Why does my child explode when I ask them to do something?
- Why do conventional behavior strategies seem to make things worse?
This podcast is for you.
Each episode is grounded in the same trauma-informed, attachment-based approach I use in my Couples Intensives, parent coaching, and family work. And as I continue writing my upcoming book on parenting kids with PDA profiles (coming Fall 2027), you’ll hear more reflections and teaching woven in there as well.
