Send us Fan Mail

In this powerful episode of Unspoken, hosts Nick and Nick sit down with Sean and Mendy, the founders of New Leaf Counseling and The Marriage Collective, to uncover their incredible journey from divorce papers to a thriving 30-year marriage. Listeners will explore how EMDR therapy served as a life-saving tool for processing deep-seated trauma, suicidal ideation, and "father wounds," helping Sean transition from a stoic Marine mindset to a life of vulnerability and resiliency. The couple shares raw insights on marriage reconciliation after an 18-month separation, the transformative power of faith during their "dark days," and practical relationship strategies like intentionality and "first dibs" communication to foster psychological safety. Whether you are seeking expertise on mental health recovery, trauma-informed counseling, or advice on becoming a "student" of your spouse, this episode offers a profound roadmap for healing and personal transformation.
