My interest in marriage began more than 15 years ago leading me to pursue certifications in premier marriage education programs including The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work and Bringing Baby Home from The Gottman Institute, Prepare/Enrich®, and Couple Communication. I later launched the award-winning blog Marital Musings and wrote for the wedding website Style Me Pretty.

I was inspired to launch Practically Married when I noticed a lack of accessible marriage preparation tools. In the development process, I consulted with numerous therapists through my affiliation with the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), and gathered extensive feedback from beta-testing couples.

Prior to running Practically Married, I graduated from Stanford University and earned an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern. I’m also a wife, mother of two, podcast enthusiast, aspiring tennis player, and a beast on the dance floor (if I do say so myself).

CONNECT WITH TODAY’S GUEST:

Chris Browning is the creator and host of the award-winning, short-form podcast Popcorn Finance where he discusses finance in about the time it takes to make a bag of popcorn. After earning a degree in finance Chris realized just how little he had known about managing his own money and knew he couldn't be the only one. So he created a podcast to help those feeling the same way. Each week Chris breaks down the world of finance in just a few minutes to help listeners get over their fear of money. You can find Chris featured on CNBC, PBS, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and Forbes. You can also catch him providing personal finance advice weekly on NECN.
