I love the Decoding Couples Instagram account, so of course I had to check out their podcast which does not disappoint! The content and delivery is all so relatable. The best part is Rachel and Stacey’s chemistry. It is truly a rare thing. You will feel like you are chit chatting with a couple of your wisest girlfriends… who just also happen to be licensed therapists. Highly recommend!

Y’all speak facts👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Love the tips and podcast, just please let each other talk and finish without cutting off or responding to each sentence with yeah, oooohhh, omg yes. It’s very distracting

10/10

I love listening to the pod. It’s got a good mix of information and humor and honesty. Keep it going!!

Relatable, funny, and very informative!! I am always looking forward to the next episode!

Both Stacey and Rachel have such great perspectives and I look forward to listening to each episode!

I really loved the “breaking down resentment” episode. You gained a new listener. Great insights and actionable steps. 5 stars!

Appreciate how practical and real the advice is. Recently took their course and I feel like the podcast just adds to it. Great stuff.

These girls are the best.

I enjoy the candid discussion and value adding information. Each episode entertains and drops some helpful knowledge along the way.

This podcast is informational and really makes me look at my relationships more in-depth. I love how relatable and real Rachel and Stacey are!

I LOVE how vulnerable and relatable the hosts are in this podcast. I appreciate that they have the training and expertise to guide listeners through all the challenges that come along with being in a relationship. I feel heard and validated and also called out and corrected. 1000% recommend for solid advice no matter what stage of a relationship you’re in or if you’re preparing to be in one.

I really REALLY want to love this show, but the way they end almost every sentence with the habit of upspeak grates on my nerves. They have solid advice, but the upspeak robs these super intelligent professionals of a lot of credibility.

Going to see my mom for the first time in 15 months and this is helping me emotionally understand myself and my relationship with my mother better so I’m not triggered within moments of her asking me questions.

I literally just realized that I have emotionally immature parents and they still are. Wow I really needed to know that in order to properly handle the things going on in my marriage at this point. Thank you so much for that show. I have downloaded the book your recommended as well.

Rachel and Stacey are so knowledgeable in relationship advice. I love that they are coming from a place of experience.

I love listening to Rachel and Stacey’s episodes. They are so down to earth and just make you feel human by the way they share their own experiences - professional opinion vs. what they do in their own relationship. It’s good to see that they are a work in progress in their relationships too. It normalizes your own situation. 💗 Can’t wait for more episodes!

Love love love this podcast. I’m learning a lot even if it’s hard and I love how Stacey and Rachel never make me feel judged

Love, love, love!! Relatable, funny, and knowledgeable. One of my new fav podcasts! Incredibly helpful ways to better relationships and face those tough conversations, not only with our partners but ourselves! I’m hooked!

I love the DC IG page so much that it led me to this podcast. I’ve listened to the first 11 episodes, but the underlying theme is that this is very sales pitchy for their Relationship Roadmap. They talk about topics at a high level and tease that you can get more information about topics through purchasing that. I could get over the sales pitch, but I cannot get over inconsistent volume. I shouldn’t have to turn the volume up after the intro or down so the transitional music into DMs segment doesn’t blow my speakers. There is a huge swing in volume throughout the episode.

Nothing made me happier when the gals from decoding couples decides to launch a podcast. They are legit so smart and their content is so informative, fresh and most importantly is information that I can apply to my relationship. I love the podcast and how Stacie and Rachel share their own personal stories. I learn so much from you gals. THANK YOU for what you do!

I really enjoy how they combine the spine of Gottman principles with attachment theory and relational life! I too struggle with mental and emotional health issues and have listened to these therapists all throughout my year+++ long separation and now divorce. Thank you for helping me help me stay alive.

Love this podcast

All of it. Relatable. From my 18+ year marriage to my relationship with myself, this is the place to go for relatable wisdom.

Okay, let me begin by saying I LOVE Stacey and Rachel and am thrilled they have this podcast! Listening to them makes me feel like I am best friends with them (I wish)… and every episode is packed full of great insight and advice. They aren’t afraid to speak their minds, keep it real, and provide lots of laughs too (their IG page is a must follow if you haven’t already). I applaud these women for having open, honest, and real conversations. I feel so validated knowing I’m not alone in my relationship struggles. I appreciate the way Stacey and Rachel not only share their professional opinions, but also discuss their personal thoughts and experiences as well. 10/10 would recommend!

I really like what I’ve heard so far, and would give a full 5 stars, but I’m waiting to see how these two cis-het-white women handle the complexities of different kinds of relationships, including mixed race, mixed faith, political differences, neurodivergence, etc.

The content they provide is great and they offer great practical ways to work on your relationship.

Love this podcast! I wish I could listen to a new episode during my commute every day…all their advice is a game changer.

Rachel and Stacey really dive deep into relationship struggles and give explanations and insights into why we struggle within our intimate relationships. They provide real life examples, tools, and prompts to use that are so helpful and actually work!!!

Love that they are open with their struggles and things they’ve done to work through them. Their conversations are thought provoking and fun!

These girls always relate back make me feel like im not crazy !! They dont make you feel guilty or upset with yourself, always feeling understood and like my partner and I can get through this together(:

I have been following Decoding Couples since the beginning and am so excited to see their knowledge manifest as a podcast. I am a relationship therapist, as well, and can vouch that these professional women are doing absolutely brilliant work. I can’t wait for each episode.

Rachel and Stacey always have an honest and vulnerable and helpful conversation. Love to listen

This podcast is genuinely amazing. The sound is great the topics are interesting and informative the hosts are super likable. Five stars.

So glad they have a podcast now. Found them a few years ago on IG. Always great advice and so much validation. Plus I discover other great books and coaches/therapists through them too. Thank you!

I love how relatable they are and how they bring up uncomfortable topics. They are so insightful and I LOVE following them in Instagram and am so excited that I can follow them here too!! I can’t wait to gain all the knowledge!! ❤️❤️

After a failed marriage, I didn’t want to repeat similar relationship patterns. These ladies do a great job at breaking down relationship patterns and how to proceed fairly in uncomfortable moments within a relationship.

These two women speak the ugly truth about marriage and relationships. They are so open about their own marriage flaws and give amazing tips and tools to navigate the journey of marriage and relationships . Love Love Love!!!

These two are great! I learn so much from their podcast. They offer some great tips, but more importantly remind me that all relationships have challenges, and there are ways to work through them! They are also fun to listen to :)

Relationships are amazing, and hard. Kiddos are amazing, and hard work. But marriage after kiddos can be hard, overwhelming and take away much of the time that just used to be two people having fun. Parenting can also reveal old wounds that never healed or were addressed… I’ve been following these two ladies on Instagram for awhile and their guidance is always helpful. Honest. Hard to swallow at times… but always with the goal of improved communication and relationships. This podcast should be required study… for anyone looking to stay married after kiddos. Or co-parent respectfully.

I’ve been following these two ladies since the beginning and the the way they bring the reality of relationship is unmatched. We relate through the shared stories of their own relationships so we can apply the same techniques in our own. Definitely with a listen and follow on IG, won’t be disappointed.

I have followed these two for a long time on social media and they have a real knack for describing scenarios from both partners points of view. I love the podcast as well and I can’t wait to continue listening in the future!

Found their account on instagram and have loved the easily digestible and relatable marriage advice!

Love Decoding Couples! Find their advice useful in difficult seasons but even when things are going well. Marriage is a lot of work and this is a great space for considering your own feelings, growing your understanding and making improvements. Very thought provoking.

Just started listening to the pod and loving it already! So much easy to implement, practical advice. Stacey and Rachel are totally relatable. I feel like I’m listening to two of my girlfriends chat!

I’ve been following their instagram page since I was single and now, obvs, while married. Their advice on IG helped me to heal and helped me pick a better partner than what I had done before. Now listening to their podcast, helps me as a married woman go through things that I thought were only happening to us. Stacey and Rachel do such a wonderful job making me feel heard and relatable with their content. They are just awesome and wish them the success they deserve.

I’ve been following Rachel and Stacey on insta for awhile now and was so excited when they started a podcast. It’s like listening to two of my smartest friends digest relationship issues and keeping it real!

I’m a huge podcast junkie and this is now in my top rotation! Rachel and Stacy are funny, relatable and honest in their advice and experiences. It’s so refreshing to listen to each episode and I walk away feeling better! Must listen!!

I love this podcast! Rachel and Stacey hit on the topics we all tend to struggle with in relationships at one point or another. I’ve applied some of their insights into my own relationship and I can see the benefit of taking new approaches and viewing situations with more nuance, and less binary thinking.
