Have you ever felt like you're trying so hard in your relationship—but somehow, you and your partner still miss each other? Maybe you’re stuck in the same arguments, or you find yourself overthinking what to say, trying to keep the peace, and wondering if things will ever feel easier.
If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
I’m Dr. Rachel Orleck, a couples therapist and coach, and I created Coupled With... because I’ve sat with so many couples who feel confused, disconnected, and totally overwhelmed by how hard it is to communicate. They’re smart, thoughtful people—people who are used to solving problems and getting things done—but when it comes to their relationship, nothing seems to work the way it should.
That’s what this podcast—and this blog—is here for. To help you understand why things feel so hard, and to offer practical tools (and a little humor) to help you feel more connected, seen, and valued in your relationship.
We’ll talk about:
Attachment styles (and how they shape your connection)
Conflict cycles (and how to break them)
The hidden ways perfectionism can mess with love
And how to stop managing your relationship and start really showing up in it
Nothing is off-limits here. Whether you’re trying to repair after a fight, feeling like roommates, or wanting to reconnect after a hard life event—this space is for you.
If you’re craving more clarity, less pressure, and a relationship that finally makes sense—welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
You don’t need another script. You need a reset.
In just 7 days, Break the Cycle will teach you how to:
Spot your relationship’s reactivity pattern
Regulate in the moment (even when you’re triggered)
Communicate in a way that finally lands
💥 Let’s make your next hard moment a breakthrough—not a breakdown.
