Communication becomes one of the greatest challenges families face as life changes. Feelings get tangled, conversations feel heavier than they should, and even people who care deeply about each other struggle to feel heard.

In this episode I talk with Mark Oelze, a marriage and family counselor with more than thirty years of experience helping couples and families restore connection. Mark is the author of The PLEDGE of a Lifetime, a simple and powerful communication framework that teaches people how to pause, listen, and speak with intention. He has spent decades guiding families toward calmer conversations, healthier relationships, and stronger emotional connection.

Together we explore how the PLEDGE helps families communicate with clarity and compassion and how a few intentional steps can make every conversation feel different. If you want a better way to talk with the people you love, this episode offers encouragement, insight, and practical tools you can use right away.
