Before & Beyond “I Do” is the podcast for committed couples who want to create, or recreate a strong, deeply connected, conscious marriage designed to last.
Whether you’re engaged and already facing issues you don’t want to carry into your marriage, or you’re years beyond “I do” wondering, How the hell did we get here? this podcast offers real talk about what it actually takes to build, repair, and sustain a healthy partnership.
Intuitive Relationship & Marriage Coach Susan Ortolano goes beneath surface-level communication advice to explore the wounds, beliefs, protective patterns, and relationship dynamics quietly shaping how you show up with one another.
This is an inside-out exploration of marriage that goes deeper than the relationship advice you typically hear. You’ll gain insight into what is happening beneath your struggles, understand why your patterns persist, and learn practical ways to transform how you communicate, navigate conflict, rebuild trust, deepen intimacy, and consciously care for your partnership.
You’ll also come to understand Susan’s core, game-changing marriage philosophy: Marriage Success is an Inside Job™ and discover how changing the way you relate to yourself, your partner, and the challenges between you can transform your entire marriage.
Because strong marriages don’t magically happen. They are consciously created, or recreated by two people willing to take ownership, heal what needs to be healed, and grow individually and together.
And this is where the next chapter of your love story begins.
