This week, Roger welcomes relationship expert Lauren Dry, also known as The Connection Catalyst. Together, they explore why so many marriages end in divorce—especially second marriages—and examine the patterns that often undermine long-term commitment. Lauren shares her personal story of navigating her own relationship challenges and how those experiences led her to become a marriage coach. Their conversation includes practical strategies for building fulfilling partnerships, shedding light on how unconscious behavioral patterns affect relationships and how high-achieving individuals can channel their problem-solving strengths into personal growth.

Lauren underscores the power of self-reflection, vulnerability, and learning to downregulate from hypervigilant states. She and Roger discuss how compassion, kindness, and empathy can transform relationships, leading to deeper and more meaningful connections. Drawing from neuroscience and personal anecdotes, this episode offers rich insights for those seeking to align professional success with emotional fulfillment—making it a must-listen for anyone striving to strengthen their personal connections.
