The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

When One Spouse Won’t Admit Their Part: A Conversation with My Husband 39:36

منذ 8 hours39:36

39:36

Have you ever wished your spouse would just see their part? You try to talk about the struggles in your marriage, hoping they’ll acknowledge how their actions (or inactions) are affecting you. But instead, they dismiss it. Defend themselves. Maybe even turn it back on you. And you’re left feeling unheard, unseen, and like you’re carrying the weight of the relationship all by yourself. I know that feeling. I lived it. For years, I felt like I was the one always reflecting, always working, always trying to figure things out—while Jeff seemed… fine. It wasn’t that he didn’t care, but he wasn’t seeing his part in our struggles. And because of that, I stayed in a protective stance, bracing myself for disappointment. Until something shifted. For the first time, Jeff admitted his own brokenness in a way I had never heard before. And in that moment, something inside me changed. My body relaxed. My heart softened. And I felt a sense of safety I didn’t even realize I was craving. So I sat down with Jeff for an open, honest conversation about what changed. Why was it so hard for him to admit his own struggles before? What was actually going on inside of him when he resisted seeing his part? And what finally helped him get to a place where he could take ownership? I didn’t hold back in this conversation, and neither did he. If you’ve ever wondered why your spouse doesn’t seem to see their own contribution to the disconnection, or if you’ve been waiting (and waiting) for them to finally get it, this episode is one you need to hear.

Why It’s So Hard to Admit Our Brokenness in Marriage—And Why It Matters 18:04

منذ 7 أيام18:04

18:04

Ever feel like you’re the only one trying to improve your marriage? It seems as though you’re constantly reflecting, adjusting, and trying to make things better—while your spouse seems unaware or unwilling to see their part? Maybe they shut down, get defensive, or act like you’re the one making a big deal out of nothing. It’s frustrating. Exhausting. And it can make you feel completely alone in the relationship. But why does this happen? Why is it so hard for some people—especially men—to admit their own brokenness? This week on the podcast, I’m diving into this question. Because when one spouse refuses to acknowledge their contribution to marital struggles, it creates a wall that keeps the relationship stuck. The other partner is left feeling unheard, unseen, and reluctant to change because why should they be the only one doing the work? The truth is, many people—men in particular—have been conditioned to see admitting fault as a weakness rather than a strength. They’ve been taught that being a “good” spouse means providing and protecting , not necessarily self-reflecting and taking emotional responsibility . And when they do start to see their part, it can feel overwhelming—like they’re failing or disappointing the person they love. So instead of leaning in, they push back. In this episode, I’m unpacking: Why taking ownership of our flaws feels so difficult. How this resistance impacts the marriage dynamic. What creates safety for BOTH spouses to be honest about their struggles. And how even one person can start to shift the cycle in a healthier direction. But that’s not all—I’m also bringing Jeff into this conversation. Next week, I’ll be sharing a raw and honest interview with him about this very dynamic. We’ll talk about what was going on inside of him when he struggled to admit his own brokenness, what finally shifted for him, and what he would say to other spouses who feel stuck in this cycle. This follow-up episode is going to be a powerful one—especially if you’ve ever wished your spouse could just see their part in the struggles. So first, listen to this week’s episode to lay the foundation, and then get ready for next week’s conversation with Jeff. Have you ever felt like your spouse just doesn’t see their part in the struggles?

Blame Shifting & Turning the Table: How to Stop Deflecting and Build Connection 21:42

منذ 14 يومًا21:42

21:42

Have you ever brought up something important to your spouse, only to suddenly find yourself on the defensive ? Maybe you wanted to talk about feeling overwhelmed with household responsibilities, and before you know it, the conversation flips—now you’re reassuring them that they do enough. Or perhaps you ask for more quality time together, and instead of responding to your request, they fire back with, “Well, you’re always on your phone!” That’s blame shifting —or what I like to call turning the table. It’s a subtle but powerful way conversations get derailed, leaving both partners feeling unheard, frustrated, and disconnected. In this week’s podcast episode, I’m breaking down: ✔️ What blame shifting actually is and why it happens ✔️ 6 common ways it plays out in marriage (you might be surprised!) ✔️ How to recognize when you might be doing it ✔️ The first steps to changing this pattern and staying in healthy communication This is one of those eye-opening dynamics that, once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And that’s a good thing—because awareness is the first step toward creating real connection in your marriage. If this episode resonates with you, I’d love for you to share it with a friend or your spouse—because the more we understand these patterns, the easier it is to break free from them.

Breaking the Cycle: How to Stop Old Wounds from Hijacking Your Marriage 23:53

منذ 21 يومًا23:53

23:53

Have you ever had a moment where your spouse did something small—ignored a request, seemed distracted, didn’t respond the way you hoped—and suddenly, you found yourself way more upset than you expected ? Maybe you lashed out, shut down, or felt deeply hurt over something that, logically, didn’t seem that big. It happens! And there’s a reason this happens. In those moments, your reaction isn’t just about your spouse —it’s about something deeper. It’s about a younger part of you, a part that learned long ago how to protect itself when love or attention felt uncertain. Maybe as a child, you had parents who were physically present but emotionally distant. Or maybe you grew up feeling like you had to fight to be seen and heard. Fast forward to today, and your nervous system still remembers. So when your spouse seems disconnected or unresponsive, your body reacts—not just to them, but to all the times you felt unseen before. In this week’s episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage , I’m talking about what’s really happening when small conflicts turn into big emotional reactions —and how you can start recognizing and responding differently. In this episode, you’ll learn: ✅ Why certain interactions with your spouse feel more painful than they “should” ✅ How to recognize when your inner child is reacting instead of your adult self ✅ Simple steps to pause, reparent yourself, and shift into a response that creates connection instead of conflict This is a powerful shift that can change the way you show up in your marriage —and help you move from frustration and resentment to deeper understanding and connection. Here’s to seeing yourself—and your marriage—with new eyes. ❤️ CBS News Interview: 6 Tips For A Healthy & Loving Relationship Unlock deeper connection in your marriage with my free guide, Daily Prompts for Deeper Connection with Your Spouse —get it now!

Reconnecting Through Deliberate Conversation: Transforming Date Nights 26:29

Have you ever sat across from your spouse on a date night and felt… nothing? Like you should be enjoying yourselves, but instead, the conversation feels forced, surface-level, or stuck in logistics? Or maybe you’ve stopped doing date nights altogether because, honestly, what’s the point if they don’t feel special anymore? If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many couples quietly struggle with feeling disconnected, assuming that if conversations aren’t flowing naturally, it must mean they’ve lost interest in each other. But what if that’s not true? What if the problem isn’t that the connection is gone… but that you just need a new way to find it again? In this week’s episode of AwakenYou in Your Marriage , I’m sharing why engaging, meaningful conversations don’t just happen—they’re created . I’ll help you see why your date nights might feel dull or distant, and most importantly, how to change that. If you miss having date nights that leave you feeling seen, heard, and excited about your marriage again, you won’t want to miss this episode. Your next date night could feel completely different with just a few small shifts. Let’s make it one you look forward to.

Have you ever felt completely stuck when it came time to apologize to your spouse? You know you need to say something, but the words feel heavy—almost impossible to get out. What if I told you that the real challenge might not just be about your spouse... but about how you feel about yourself? In my latest podcast episode, Breaking Through the Forgiveness Block: How Self-Forgiveness Leads to Healing Apologies in Marriage , I dive into why many of us struggle to offer a heartfelt apology. Spoiler: it often starts with the shame we carry inside. If we haven’t forgiven ourselves for the mistakes we’ve made, it becomes nearly impossible to ask our spouse for forgiveness in a way that truly heals. You’ll hear a powerful story about one of my clients who faced this exact issue after betraying his wife. He wanted to make things right, but no matter how hard he tried, his apologies felt shallow and disconnected. It wasn’t until he began the process of self-forgiveness that he could offer his wife the apology she deserved. Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode: Why traditional apologies often leave us feeling empty or defensive How shame holds you back from offering a genuine apology The powerful impact of self-forgiveness on your ability to reconnect with your spouse A step-by-step process to transform how you approach apologies in your marriage If you’ve ever found yourself struggling with guilt, shame, or apologies in your marriage, this episode is for you. It’s time to release the weight of your past mistakes and open the door to real healing—both for yourself and your relationship. 🎧 Listen to the episode now!
