Hi, we’re Jeremiah and Julia.

There’s a lot of fantastic info in the psychology and wellness worlds about how you can live a more fulfilling, healthy life. But these spaces often leave out an important distinction.

We make decisions in relationships.

We share information about ourselves in relationships.

We have parents and siblings and cousins and grandparents. We participate in sports teams and school projects and community groups. We have besties and squads and crews.

We have long-term primary partners, and a host of other relationships with varying longevity. We have sex. We play.

And these relationships require skills that the capitalist and competitive systems of religion and finance and education do not embody:

• Collaboration.

• Mutuality.

• Teamwork.

Relationship 101 explores how we communicate, organize, solve problems, and connect.

We want to help you have relationships, encounters, and dynamics that contribute to a joy-filled, rich life.

Five of Our Favorite Facts About Us

1. We are certified sex therapists. We have a combination of 30 years of professional experience helping couples and families create relationship dynamics and family structures that work for them. We have our certification through the American Association for Sexuality Educators Counselors and Therapists (AASECT), the premier professional organization for sex therapy.

2. We are podcasters. We hosts of the podcast Sexvangelicals: The sex education the church didn’t want you to have. We are survivors of Purity Culture. While our podcast focuses on the influence of Evangelical, Mormon, and Pentecostal (or EMPish) communities, businesses, and industries on the development of relationships and sexuality, EMPish churches are just an extension of a deeper cultural challenge: The hyper-individualism of American and Western cultures.

3. We are geeks. We are invested in reading and hearing how psychotherapists, sociologists, fiction writers, journalists, and religious leaders describe relationships and sexuality. Our Substack involves exploring these different voices and translating them into practical tools, stories, and processes for you to have the best relationship possible.

4. We are married. We are doing relational work alongside of you, and quite a few of our Substacks are direct results of how we solve problems, struggle to collaborate, play (traveling and hiking are our favorite joint ways to play), and attempt to co-exist.

5. We are business owners. We are two of about 15 therapists nationwide who have expertise working with both relational health, sexual health, and religious trauma. Our international coaching business, Let’s Heal Together, serves couples who are unlearning limiting, repressive messages about sexuality and learning how to communicate their desires with integrity, courage, and differentiation.
