Each week, Dr. Brittany Woolford and Dr. Mallaree Blake read an anonymous listener story about something happening in their relationship that they want feedback on, but don't want to share with their friends. We then dive into whether or not this is normal relationship behavior or something that needs to be immediately addressed. 

Sometimes the answer is "yes, everyone does that." Sometimes it's "okay, we need to talk about that." Either way, you'll leave understanding a little more about why people do what they do in relationships.
