003: Peter and Jennifer Diepstraten | How to Appreciate What You Have and Align as a Team Apr 21, 2014

In this humorous episode, Peter and Jennifer Diepstraten of FamilyCo share keys #2 and #3 about how to keep your love alive and make productive partnerships. Key #2 is why the “shoulds” erode our love in spite of our best intentions and what to do. Should the toddler be poddy-training so soon? Should the tween do more chores? Should I go to the gym now or after dinner? Should I put up with that or not? The “shoulds” are all of our expectations and ideals that get in the way of experiencing appreciation for what we have rather than focusing on what we don’t have.

Jennifer and Peter share their different views of how their sons should be raised and how to keep those different views from getting in the way of their relationship. Key #3 creates the possibility of being in a true partnership - one where you lift each other up and become your best selves together. They share their journey to create a North Star TM or purpose for their partnership and marriage.

001: Why This Podcast, Who We Are, and What You Can Expect with Peter and Jennifer Diepstraten Apr 21, 2014

Your hosts, Peter and Jennifer Diepstraten of FamilyCo, and parents of a blended family, are here to inspire love and possibility in your relationships.

We designed this podcast to show you that it really is POSSIBLE to have deep, connected relationships and families. Whether you’ve lost who you are as a married couple and you feel like you need a clear direction, whether you’re uneasy about approaching a sister, brother, child or parent again, or whether you want to get along better with an ex, this podcast goes beyond relationship advice to show you relationship transformations in love, understanding, and communication.

Their inspiration comes from their marriage, their divorces and hardships with family, and from a friend, who first demonstrated that divorced parents could babysit for each other’s children.

This podcast is founded on the following five principals:

1. A solid foundation and direction for relationship starts with a transformation in how you see your relationship, rather than from following relationship advice;

2. That although your relationships are not always what you expected, perhaps this journey is perfect just as it is;

3. Golden opportunities to have a deeper connection are right under your nose;

4. You already have what you need to allow what you want into your life, to speak your truth, and to stop second-guessing yourself; and

5. Real partnership is one of the ultimate and readily attainable human experiences.
