Marriage at a Crossroads... Is It Fixable or Foundational Issues? with Relationship Coach, Dawn Smith

In this episode, expert coach Dawn Smith joins Karen McMahon to dive into marital conflict and how to navigate relationship challenges. With over a decade of experience understanding how men and women process emotions and make decisions differently, Dawn provides strategies for couples facing marriage issues.

Dawn combines couples counseling with practical coaching to help partners break free from disconnection patterns, fostering deeper communication and understanding. Her actionable tools are especially helpful for couples at a crossroads or struggling with communication and conflict.

Throughout the conversation, Dawn also explores how neurodivergent conditions, like narcissism and ADHD, can impact relationships and whether these issues are fixable or foundational. Her insights help couples determine whether the challenges they're facing can be worked through or if deeper, systemic issues exist.

With expertise in mental health, neuroscience, and relationship coaching, she empowers individuals and couples to find clarity and connection. Her work has been featured at TEDx and leading conferences.
