What Makes It Work?

The “What Makes it Work?” podcast is a deep dive into the intimate world of relationships. With curiosity and humor, we explore the depths of long lasting relationships. Learning to grow together, rather than apart is an art all on its own. So we’re interviewing relationship experts, sharing personal stories, and connecting with other couples to help answer all the big questions. Can you stay together after infidelity? How do you navigate mental illness in a relationship? Is love enough for a relationship survive? We’re your hosts: Jocelyn and Isaiah! We have been together for 8 years and have been married for almost 5. And yep, we’ve been through relationship growing pains just like everybody else. Come along with us as we seek to discover- what makes a relationship work over a lifetime? This week Jocelyn and Isaiah take a deep dive into sexual assault and how it can affect a relationship. They share research and personal stories about how to navigate sexual trauma while being in a relationship. They also talk about how consent is not only necessary but incredibly sexy!
