Welcome to Practically

0:11

Married, the podcast created to

0:14

help dating engaged and newly

0:14

married couples prepare for

0:18

healthy long term committed

0:18

relationships. I'm Paula Holt.

0:23

And on this show, I'm going to

0:23

bring you conversations with

0:27

experts who will give you tools

0:27

to take your relationship to the

0:30

next level. Although many of our

0:30

guests will be therapists,

0:35

please keep in mind that

0:35

practically married is for

0:37

educational purposes only, and

0:37

is not a substitute for therapy

0:42

with a licensed professional.

0:42

Alright, let's get into it.

0:55

Hi, just a quick episode today

0:55

before we release the last two

0:59

episodes of this first season.

0:59

In August, we're taking a few

1:04

weeks off to line up our guests

1:04

for our next season, which will

1:09

start in September. And we'll

1:09

also be working on some special

1:13

offers for resources to support

1:13

your relationship. Personally,

1:18

the big thing i'll be doing is

1:18

taking our daughter to college

1:22

for her first year, something

1:22

I'm very excited about. So while

1:26

I'm doing all that, I'm going to

1:26

ask you to do something to and

1:32

that's to leave a rating,

1:32

hopefully five stars, and a

1:35

review for the show. It's really

1:35

important to have podcasts for

1:40

reviews to grow your audience

1:40

and to let potential sponsors

1:44

know you have enthusiastic

1:44

listeners. Plus, I really want

1:49

to hear what you have to say

1:49

about like what you may have

1:52

learned from the show. So please

1:52

take a moment after you hear

1:56

this and write a review on the

1:56

podcast platform you use, if

2:00

you've never done it before, is

2:00

a quick process. And I'll put

2:04

links in the show notes

2:04

instructions for the major

2:07

platforms. Now next week, we'll

2:07

be welcoming back therapist

2:12

Shamaya Derek to the show, to

2:12

talk about navigating conflict.

2:17

Until then, thank you for

2:17

listening. And for the review. I

2:21

know you're about to leave thanks for joining us this week.

2:28

If you like what you hear,

2:32

subscribe to practically marry

2:32

wherever you get your podcasts.

2:36

You can also follow the show on

2:36

Instagram at get practically

2:39

married and send us a DM if you

2:39

and your partner want to come on

2:43

the show and talk to one of our

2:43

experts. Please take a moment to

2:47

leave us a review and hopefully

2:47

a five star rating. But the best

2:52

way to support the show would be

2:52

to tell someone about it. Tell

2:55

your friends, your family, your

2:55

wedding vendors and even your

2:59

therapist. But most of all,

2:59

share it with your partner.

3:03

That's all for now. Have a good

3:03

one.
