Let’s be real. “Fine” is not the goal. And yet, so many couples find themselves stuck in the land of just-okay, coasting through life like roommates instead of staying deeply connected.

In this episode, Angela and Sami sit down with marriage coach and licensed counselor Karen Maloney to talk about how to wake up your relationship before it hits a breaking point. Karen shares her signature “Marriage Jolt” approach and why small, intentional shifts can reignite connection in powerful ways.

Whether your marriage feels stale or solid, this conversation will help you want more, reach for more, and create more in your relationship.

What we cover in this episode:

  • Why being “fine” isn’t good enough
  • How marriages drift into autopilot without us even noticing
  • The difference between marriage therapy and coaching
  • Why discomfort is sometimes the key to connection
  • What a “Marriage Jolt” is and how to know when you need one
  • How to invest in your relationship before it becomes a crisis

If you're feeling disconnected, tired of the same old patterns, or just craving more joy and intimacy in your marriage, this episode is your sign to take the next step. Go hit play and start your own Marriage Jolt today.
