With Full Hearts: Capacity, Growth, and Our Final Episode

Dear WDMP Community,

What an incredible journey it’s been. We feel so lucky to have been in connection with you over the years as we’ve explored your burning Why Does My Partner… questions. With over 100 episodes across 7 seasons, this podcast has been a labor of love—and we could not have done it without your thoughtful engagement, deep curiosity, and ongoing support.

It’s with heavy hearts (and full ones) that we’ve decided to end production of the podcast. This decision wasn’t easy, and the reasons vary for each of us. Like many of you, we’re noticing the weight of the world, and our capacity is more limited than in the past. At the same time, we’re each growing in new directions, creating other kinds of learning and growth experiences for both therapists and laypeople alike. And because Why Does My Partner… has always thrived on the collective presence of all three of us, we agreed that if we can’t all say a wholehearted “yes” to continuing, it’s time to lovingly close this chapter.

We’re incredibly proud of the show we created, and we're so grateful for the richness it’s brought to our lives. To ensure it remains a resource for you, all of our episodes will stay available on your favorite podcast platforms for years to come. Keep listening. Keep sharing. Let these conversations continue to spark insights and connection in your lives.

In our final episode, we offer some parting thoughts on how you can keep nurturing healthy relationships in your own world. Thank you for being with us—through every question, every laugh, every moment of truth. It’s been our joy and honor.

As our paths continue to unfold, we’d love to stay connected. If you’re curious about where each of us is headed next, come along by joining our individual mailing lists:

With respect, wonder, kindness, and courage,

Rebecca, Jules, & Vickey
