Setting Boundaries and Building Security in Marriage with Christa Hardin

Cultivate the Ordinary

In this episode, Christa Hardin (MA Counseling) joins Travis and Jess again to talk marriage and ways we can become healthier as individuals and within our marriages. Christa helps us unpack what healthy boundaries are, how to establish them for ourselves, for our marriages, and finally in community. Cultivating the ordinary in marriage happens in small conversations and daily micro changes.

Christa shares very vulnerably about her own marriage and how she helps couples find a good balance with their unique boundaries in marriage. If you are feeling frustrated and anxious when it comes to your marriage, or you feel like your needs are not being met in your relationship, this episode will be very helpful for you.

Christa is a former therapist and now does extensive research and coaching for marriages and relationships. She believes in using a combination of general relationship techniques and the Enneagram assessment to provide nuanced care for her clients. Her podcast, "Enneagram+Marriage" has a huge reach and loyal following. Her book, "Enneagram in Marriage: Your Guide to Thriving Together in Your Unique Pairing," released in October 2023, and has achieved bestseller status on both Amazon and Baker Book House.
