“Wherever you go, there you are.” - Dr. Maggie Augustyn
Relationships don’t fall apart overnight. They unravel slowly through unspoken needs, unmet expectations, and the quiet distance that builds when life gets too full.
In this powerful episode, Dr. Maggie Augustyn and Regan Robertson sit down with renowned couples therapist Dr. Cher Geiger to talk about how high-achieving professionals can find their way back to one another after growing apart.
What they cover:
- Why so many long-term relationships drift into “glorified roommate” territory
- How to identify the needs you’re not expressing (and why that matters more than you think)
- What really keeps couples disconnected and how to change it
- How admiration and emotional safety rebuild intimacy
- The “four fatal flaws” that most commonly end relationships
- Why therapy doesn’t have to mean you’re failing, it might be your most courageous move
Dr. Geiger’s approach is rooted in 30 years of experience and Gottman-based research. Whether you’re in a marriage, a business partnership, or any long-standing relationship, this episode will challenge and encourage you to reconnect with honesty, compassion, and courage.
Key reflection questions for listeners:
- Am I avoiding the hard conversations because I’m afraid they’ll hurt?
- Do I truly understand what my partner needs from me and have I shared what I need?
- Am I stuck in a cycle of resentment, defensiveness, or stonewalling?
- What would it look like to admire my partner again?
You are not alone.
Healing is possible. And sometimes, the first step is simply sitting on the same couch and choosing to talk.
Listen now and begin finding your way back to one another.
