Shaking My Husband for Connection: A Man’s Journey of Waking Up Emotionally
About this episode
The episode explores emotional growth in marriage through the experiences of Jeff and Korinne, focusing on unresolved grief and connection.
In this episode of the Grounded Union Podcast , Brandon and Caitlyn sit down with Jeff and Korinne, a couple married for nearly 27 years, to explore what happens when emotional growth finally arrives years after it was needed, unpacking how unresolved grief, emotional shutdown, and missed connection quietly shape a marriage over decades, while sharing how childhood emotional neglect, long-term resentment, embodiment work, the validation flow (listen, reflect, ask), and the 4R’s framework can help couples move through regret and resentment without shame, offering hope that healing doesn’t require a do-over, only presence, responsibility, and the courage to feel.
