Marriage, Motherhood & the Messy Middle; What happens when the therapist gets real
What if the therapist stopped giving advice and started getting real?
Welcome to Marriage, Motherhood, and the Messy Middle - where I, Carrie Cohen, licensed therapist and creator of the Safe2Love™ Method, pull back the curtain on what life actually looks like when you’re juggling a marriage, raising kids, caring for aging parents, and trying to figure out who you are in the middle of it all.
After 25+ years of helping other people navigate their relationships, I’m done pretending I have it all figured out. This podcast is my unfiltered take on the beautiful chaos of midlife - the marriage fights that happen at 2am, the mom guilt that hits when you’re just trying to take a shower, the sandwich generation overwhelm when everyone needs you but you’re running on empty.
Here’s what you WON’T get: perfect advice from someone who’s got it all together.
Here’s what you WILL get: Raw, honest conversations about what it really takes to love and be loved in the thick of real life. Because sometimes the most healing thing isn’t another strategy - it’s knowing you’re not the only one figuring it out as you go.
If you’re a woman navigating marriage, motherhood, and everything in between, welcome. This is your space to feel seen, heard, and a little less alone in the beautiful mess of it all.

Marriage, Motherhood & the Messy Middle; What happens when the therapist gets real
Episode 46: Stuck in your Head? It's hurting your marriage more than you think.
Hey there! In this episode, I'm diving deep into a topic that's close to my heart and probably yours too. Have you ever found yourself stuck in a loop of overthinking, analyzing your partner's every move, or feeling constantly on edge in your relationship? Trust me, I've been there, and I want to show you how our minds can become our own worst enemies in love.
Here's what I'll be unpacking for you:
- I'll explain the hypervigilant mind and why your brain might be on high alert 24/7
- We'll explore how your body responds to threats that aren't even real (and why it feels so intense)
- I'll break down why those anxious thoughts feel so darn convincing, even when they're not based in reality
- We'll discuss why simply "thinking positive" isn't enough to break the cycle
- And most importantly, I'll share practical techniques I've learned to rewire both your brain and body for healthier relationships
Join me as I uncover the sneaky ways anxiety creeps into your marriage and share powerful strategies I've discovered to break free from the overthinking trap. I want to help you create a more peaceful mind and a stronger connection with your partner.
Whether you're dealing with past trauma, chronic anxiety, or you just can't seem to get out of your own head, I promise you'll walk away with valuable insights to transform your relationship from the inside out.
Let's work on this together – your calmer mind and stronger marriage are waiting!
