DUELING DUALITIES
MARRIAGE | RECOVERY | HEALING | GROWTHTwo imperfect people sharing conversations most couples avoid.Opening doors that shame, fear, and silence have kept closed for too long—so fewer people have to carry the hard things alone.↓ Listen now ↓
MEET US: Jenn & Travis
We're just two teenagers who met in the wildness of Yosemite, fell in love and 21 years later are still doing just that.
We're meeting each new version of ourself and each other with compassion, curiosity and acceptance.
Our West Coast roots still heavily influence our East Coast (emphasis on coast) life. Raising three children, while healing our own inner children, keeps us grounded and committed to unravelling unfinished stories.
Welcome to the messy middle, where you find us reconnecting amid sex addiction, betrayal and healing childhood hurts that have rippled through (and ripped) our marriage.
Join us in our laughter and tears as we continue
to mend in real time.
We take our healing seriously,
but ourselves a little less so.
PRACTICE MAKES PROGRESS
Sometimes it takes an enormous catalyst
to disrupt the life you’ve built (hi, it’s us).
Sometimes it’s a quieter realization:
"I’m not living the life I imagined."Both require change.
Both require courage.
And both require support.
The truth is, new places require new tools.
Here you’ll find the practices, rituals, prompts, conversations, and resources that have helped us navigate betrayal, recovery, healing, and growth.Whether you're looking to reconnect with yourself
or your partner, you are in the right place.
We’re not offering shortcuts.
Just things worth returning to.
Letters from the Middle
Not everything belongs on a podcast. <GASP>
But it is true.Some thoughts arrive slower.
Through essays, reflections, and the occasional ramble, we share what we’re learning about marriage, recovery, healing, parenting, and becoming.We invite you into our inner worlds through writing
and we hope you will discover more of yours
through your own slowing down and writing.If you’d like to pull up a chair, we’d love to have you.
What's in a name?
Dueling Dualities isn’t an accident.
It’s the most honest thing we could call it.A duality is two truths existing at once.
Dueling is what happens when they collide.Between us → two people walking the same marriage, living completely different realities of it.Within us → the person we want to become
versus the person our childhood taught us to be.Dueling Dualities is what happens when all of this collides in a marriage. The friction. The growth. The becoming.We’re not here to resolve the tension, we’re here to sit in it honestly, so you don’t have to sit in yours alone.
