The Release Podcast

11. Julie Menanno (Part One) Renowned Marriage Therapist & Bestselling Author of SECURE LOVE

Is the purpose of marital therapy truly to stay married?

Julie Menanno is a licensed marriage and family therapist, a leading voice on attachment styles with over 1.2 million instagram followers and the bestselling author of "SECURE LOVE: Create a relationship that lasts a lifetime." She earned her Master’s degree in Psychology from Phillips Graduate Institute in LA, and has a clinical therapy practice in Bozeman, Montana, using Emotionally Focused Therapy known as EFT, for couples working on attachment issues within relationships. Julie is also a wife of 24 years and a mom to six kids and one dog.

On episode one of this two-part podcast, we define attachment styles, examine how they can change depending on the relationship, and dive in to why the nervous system should be the first thing you worry about when trying to communicate with your partner. We look at why you have to stop trying to change your partner, and go deep on how shame sabotages our chances at connecting.

On episode two (below), we get to know Julie a lot better, partly with the help of her husband, who joins as a surprise call-in guest! We talk through how her evangelical childhood impacted her career choice, what being a boy-mom can teach us about romantic relationships, and why a midlife romantic post-mortem is so very important.

My grand conclusion is that she was in fact born to do this work, and destined to outline in her unique way what it takes to create SECURE LOVE. By the end of our talk, I’m pretty sure I officially won at podcasting, because according to Julie, who is renowned by millions of followers for her own insights on love…I made HER feel seen.
