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.

Episode 55: Reconnecting w/ Yourself as the way of Strengthening your Marriage
In this episode, I’m sharing why the key to strengthening your marriage starts with reconnecting to yourself.
For so many women I work with, the journey back to love and connection begins with self-awareness, self-care, and reclaiming joy. If you’re feeling disconnected or overwhelmed, this episode will guide you through practical steps to get back to a place of clarity and connection.
Here’s what we’ll explore:
🌟 How self-awareness helps you break unhealthy patterns and communicate more authentically with your partner.
🌟 Why self-care is essential for both your personal well-being and the health of your relationship—and how to make it a priority without guilt.
🌟 The power of reclaiming joy and why it’s so important to show up fully in your marriage.
🌟 How these practices lead to deeper emotional intimacy, healthier conflict resolution, and a thriving relationship built on interdependence.
This episode is packed with actionable insights to help you start small, stay consistent, and create meaningful transformation in both your life and your marriage.
