Season 4 continues with a candid conversation on relationships, communication, and the emotional load many people carry in partnerships and family life. Clinician Kate from Oak Mountain joins the podcast to share insights from her years working with couples, along with lessons from her own long-term marriage.
In this episode, the conversation explores communication styles, unspoken needs, caretaking roles, guilt, and the ways childhood conditioning shapes adult relationships. Kate and Katie discuss why couples often misunderstand each other, how resentment builds when needs are not expressed, and why learning your partner’s emotional “language” can change the way conflict is approached.
The episode also brings humor into the realities of relationships, from Disney romance myths to diaper bags and an unexpected conversation about pineapples. Tune in next week for part two! Don't forget to subscribe and follow along with us on Instagram @katieostresscoaching.com
