Chats from the Peak.

Co-hosted weekly by the analytical romantic and the honest realist.

Frameworks, scripts, and cultural-first communication tools delivered as the kind of real conversation you'd overhear between two women who've been doing the work. No therapy-speak. No "here are five things." The real thing.

Loving Me Loving You Loving Us.

Hosted by your co-host. Real Black couples, honest conversations, no script.

Interview format. One couple at a time. The conversations you usually only hear at the cookout after the third glass of wine — except we press record. What the seasons of marriage actually sound like.

When silence becomes a strategy.

And why pretending the conversation isn't happening is its own kind of conversation.

Silence as a strategy — and the cost of it — Oct 14, 2024 —

The week we finally named what wasn't being said.

We break down the three forms silence takes in a long marriage — protective, punitive, and pre-exit — and walk through the scripts that have broken the pattern for couples we've worked with. Plus: a listener write-in about the hardest kind of silence, the one that comes after the fight is technically over.

If the show has helped

The quietest way to pay it forward.

Reviews and subscribes are how this work reaches the next couple who needs it. If something we said landed — a script, a story, the 4/4/4 — a 30-second review might be the thing that puts us in someone else's ears.

Thank you for being a Peak Seeker.

This is the podcast I've been trying to find for three years. You sound like the friends I wish I had when my husband and I almost didn't make it. Thank you for making it for us.
