    53: Managing Relationship Crisis with Dr. Becky Whetstone
    Dec 18 2025
    This week on Conversations for Couples, Julie and David Bulitt talk with nationally recognized marriage and family therapist Dr. Becky Whetstone, also known as the Marriage Crisis Manager. Becky is the author of I Think I Want Out and brings her decades of experience helping couples navigate the brink of divorce with honesty, strategy, and heart.

    In this episode, the three dive deep into what really happens when one partner quietly checks out, the surprising traits that predict a happy marriage (hint: flexibility matters more than romance), and why so many people never say they’re unhappy—until it’s too late.

    📘 Dr. Becky shares:

    • ✅ The Gottman-backed traits that predict marital success

    • ⚠️ What a “decider” is and how to catch unhappiness before it blows up

    • 🧠 Why trauma, shame, and grandiosity destroy communication

    • 🔄 The power of “repair conversations” and how to do them the right way

    • 💬 Real-life examples from couples in crisis (and how they pulled back from the edge)

    • 🛑 How to use separation therapeutically instead of rushing into divorce

    Plus, hear Julie & David’s own take on decades of marriage, how they resolve conflict using “Safe Talk,” and why they never want to go back into the dating pool again.

    51: Mediation Matters with Joe Dillon
    Nov 20 2025
    Divorce Mediation, Virtual Breakups & Real Boundaries — with Joe Dillon

    On this episode of Conversations for Couples, Julie and David Bulitt sit down with Joe Dillon, co-founder of Equitable Mediation Services, to dive deep into the world of divorce mediation, emotional intelligence, and how money and emotion often collide during the end of a marriage.

    Joe combines his MBA in Finance with extensive training from Harvard, MIT, and Northwestern, and has been a virtual mediation pioneer since 2011—long before it became the norm. But what really stands out is Joe’s personal story as a child of a highly litigated divorce, which fuels his compassionate, process-driven approach to helping couples separate without destroying their families.

    🎙 What’s Inside:
    💼 Why most divorce mediators are lawyers—and why Joe isn’t
    🔍 How deceit, ego, and entitlement derail divorce
    🧠 Using coaching and emotional preparation to mediate better
    ⚖️ What Joe learned from growing up in a courtroom (literally)
    👥 How he and his wife, Cheryl, balance working together and staying connected
    📍 Which states are actually mediation-friendly—and why that matters

    This episode is full of real-life insight, warmth, and practical advice for couples thinking about divorce, in the middle of it, or supporting others through it.
