The Podcast
Before & Beyond “I Do”

Marriage Begins with Hope

Two people fall in love, promise their lives to one another, and imagine a future built on connection, partnership, and shared dreams.

Yet every marriage eventually encounters challenges no one fully prepares for.

Communication breaks down.
Old wounds surface.
Conflict repeats itself.
Distance slowly grows where closeness once lived.

Before & Beyond “I Do” looks at what it truly takes to build and sustain a healthy, conscious marriage, not just at the beginning, but throughout the many seasons of partnership.

In each episode, Susan shares practical insights, honest reflections, and thoughtful , conscious guidance to help couples better understand themselves, their partners, and the dynamics that shape their partnership.
