    Daily Encouragement
    I listen to this daily as I walk my dogs and it keeps me encouraged and motivated to show up the best I can in my marriage. So very grateful to have found this podcast!

    New, intrigued listener
    I first listened to the Empowered Wife audible book and then began Laura’s podcast. I keep returning to listen to more episodes. I believe it is because there is a sense of awakened hope for women who want their marriage to not only work, but be all they dreamed of and more. Hearing about how the skills have worked for so many women is inspiring.

    the keys I needed!
    Thank you so much Laura! I have read your book “The Empowered Wife” and am doing your workbook. I also listen to this podcast regularly to remind myself of the 6 intimacy skills. I have seen a huge positive transformation in my relationship, thanks to your help.

    This is what I need
    This podcast takes the book Laura wrote and expands to so much more. I love hearing all of the testimonials because this is how I relate and understand what I need to do to move forward and fix my marriage.

    More women need this show
    I have learned so many skills on how to talk to my man from this show. I’ve watched my man go from defensive and frustrated in our relationship, when I was focused on the negative, to caring, supportive, helpful, loving, adoring, sweet, and considerate. I’ve even seen him begin to take better care of himself with the partner fulfilling prophecies I’ve been trying out. It almost feels miraculous!

    Horrible Audio
    I SO SO SO badly want to send these podcast episodes to all my friends, but the audio quality of the ladies being interviewed is a real roadblock for me! Please fix the audio so your message can reach more people

    Effective advice
    I have listened to a lot of Laura’s podcasts. Currently I am re-listening to the empowered wife book for a third time. Every time I start listening to it again I realize where I’m off track in my marriage and start course correcting. My husband responds very well and always finds me more attractive when I’m practicing the skills (even though he doesn’t know I’m practicing them).

    Life changing

The advice isn’t just theoretical; it’s practical and can be applied in daily life. Whether it’s improving communication, rekindling intimacy, or learning to better understand your partner, Laura provides tools that listeners can easily implement.

    Desperate
    These women are “taking accountability” (blaming themselves) for their losery, cheating husbands’ behavior 🤦🏼‍♀️ and deluding themselves to stay in these relationships, likely b/c they’re dependent upon the man 😞 I understand a relationship (and its downfall) takes two. We as women aren’t perfect. But you aren’t responsible for his inability to communicate or hear feedback like a grown adult. I think Laura provides some valuable info - e.g., we all could probably use a little more self care. I do think that many women are taking on masculine roles & masculine energy in a time when we can have, do & be whatever it is that we want. We probably need a better balance. With that being said, our tolerance for their childlike behavior is lower. It’s been shown that a woman’s quality of life decreases when she gets married. A man’s increases. Laura is probably “right” in many regards (according to a man’s pov). But it’s annoying that we should have to acquiesce and adapt our behavior in order to make men feel good. The girl whose husband cheated on her with her best friend while she was pregnant said she now “uses duct tape.” Poor thing. She’s completely isolated in a foreign country & desperate. The intimacy skills essentially teach that we’re supposed to be respectful, good little girls and handle these grown men with kid gloves in order to not hurt their fragile little egos. Keep your mouth shut, have a “whatever you think!” attitude, pretend to like their bad gifts, etc. It’s no wonder that more women are choosing to be single and/or turn gay lol. How about men rise up rather than us settling?

    I love this podcast
    I cannot stop listening. I found this podcast after reading her book and I am HOOKED. These women and Laura are so inspiring!

    Best Marital Advice for Wives
    Have listened to almost every podcast episode. Currently reading THE EMPOWERED WIFE. Excellent advice and real life skills to not only improve your marriage, but also all your relationships.
  • ChristineB2424
    New listener intrigued
    I’m a new listener to the Empowered wife podcast. I’ve listened to several of the podcast episodes and bought the book. The ideas presented in the material and from the guests on the show have blown my mind wide open. I’m not sure the principles work but I’m going to learn more. Both my husband and I need it to save our marriage.
  • LevaStyles
    Highly recommended game changer
    I can’t express enough how incredibly grateful I am for Laura Doyle’s podcast and book, The Empowered Wife. The practical skills and insights shared are absolutely transformative. It’s not just theory – these are real, actionable strategies that have made a huge difference in how I approach my marriage and personal growth. What I truly appreciate is the unbelievable transparency of the guests. Listening to women share their stories with such honesty is both inspiring and reassuring. It’s comforting to know that I’m not alone in my struggles. Another standout aspect is the sheer relatability of the episodes. Whether I’m facing a communication challenge, navigating a tough moment, or simply trying to reconnect with my partner, there’s always an episode that perfectly aligns with my current situation. I find myself scrolling through the episodes, looking for one that speaks to exactly what I’m experiencing in that moment. It’s like having a toolkit of real-world solutions right at my fingertips. The Empowered Wife has been a game-changer for me. The blend of vulnerability, real-life stories, and powerful techniques makes it an invaluable resource for any woman who is looking to enhance her relationship. I can’t recommend it enough!
  • ChristaLaine
    Truly a gift!
    This podcast has been so comforting to me whenever I feel discouraged. Hearing the success stories of all these women (and men) gives me the motivation I need to keep fighting for my marriage. I’m so thankful for Laura Doyle and the work she’s doing to end world divorce. I saw a positive shift almost immediately after reading the Empowered Wife book, which convicted me to change certain behaviors that only now, after 24 years of marriage, I realize have been slowly killing my marriage. The book, together with the podcast, have been life-changers!
  • Nonicknameno300
    Completely changed my perspective for the better!
    This podcast was the most helpful thing I have come across is respect to making a marriage work. Everything she says is so in line with exactly why certain relationships are successful. So glad I came across this!!
  • Lil_CC_1
    A totally different marriage approach
    Just finished the book and starting the podcast now to keep learning and changing. This is making a difference in me and I look forward to seeing how it’s going to change my husband and marriage.
  • IVF Mom of 2
    What a difference in 24hrs
    Well it’s been just over 24hrs and I already see a positive change in myself and my husband. Can’t believe how much a small change can create such a positive effect in our marriage. I can’t wait to learn more!
  • Mshang9
    Amazing podcast
    Laura Doyle’s books and podcasts have changed my life for the better in ways I can’t describe easily. I love this podcast so much I’m in the middle of registering a second or third time to most of the episodes. Highly recommend!!
  • fffffffffffffffffgggggggdddddd
    15 minute clips
    Thank you so much for adding these short clips because I don’t always have time to listen to the longer ones. These short clips give me hope and ideas for what I can do to make my marriage better.
  • Hellopeople2
    Love it!!
    Absolutely love all the testimonies and unique insights!!
  • Ber2004
    Hope is returning…
    I don’t know how my story turns out but I know it turns out better because of Laura Doyle, her podcast and books. No matter what happens, I will be a better, happier woman and THAT will be the legacy I show by example to my kids and my husband.
  • Spainmtnchick
    What happened to the weekly guests?
    I used to love this podcast when they had weekly guests with 40-60 minute segments. Now these segments are only every other week;-(

    Changed my Life
    This podcast and the Empowered Wife book has changed my life for the better. I am so glad I found it. Thank you for sharing this valuable information!
  • SJordan123
    I love this so much!
    I’m working on bettering my marriage and this podcast might just save us! I’m learning so much. In just a day, I feel different.
  • EO-4
    Great encouragement!
    I always get so much encouragement from listening to these podcasts! Thank you to all the wonderful and courageous wives for opening up about their stories as their success encourages each of us!
  • FrancieCh
    Always improves my mood!
    My husband has commented about how I’m often in a lovely happy mood when I get home from driving around. I told him it’s because I’m listening to my favorite podcast in the car, but I didn’t tell him it’s called the Empowered Wife! That’s still my secret. :) I can’t help but get extra pep in my step and feel so inspired after one of these episodes. Tuesday is my favorite day of the week! I am feeling sad that we only get half an episode now each week. I’m thankful I have the older ones to tide me over on the off weeks, but I do hope that we can get to go back to having an hour of inspiration again every week. I really miss it! Also the men’s panels aren’t my favorite stories. Only rarely do I find them to be inspiring, and I wish they could be spread out more over the course of the year instead of lumped together in one month. Thank you for all you do Laura!! The world is a much better place because of you.

    Surrender single preparing to be a wife
    I love this podcast because I struggled with the Superwoman syndrome and this podcast and your books:Surrendered Single & Things will get as good as you can stand has changed my life. While I'm still learning and growing, this journey from single to wife with your insights has helped me tremendously. My only suggestion is add more content for the single women who are struggling to find a partner. Thanks
  • berepavyou
    From hopeless to happily hopeful
    I ran into this podcast by accident just because one day I was searching keywords related to marriage issues and once I heard the first episode I simply haven’t been able to get enough. The interviews are absolutely beautiful, have ended listening to episodes with hopeful tears and have started implementing some skills and starting to see results. Definitely the best thing out there you can listen to to transform your life and marriage.
  • Flor Falero
    What happened?
    Where are the weekly interviews? That was what I looked forward to every week for inspiration and an hour of self care. This new way is no fun!
  • lex podcast girl
    New format
    I appreciate the intent of the new format but I’m sad that it means less content. I love the long form episodes!
  • Never Losing Hope
    New Believer
    I’ve been with my husband for 20 years, 12 of which married. We have been together since we were 18 years old. Recently I’ve noticed that we aren’t the same people we were in our 20s, our wants and our needs have changed throughout the years. Lately I feel like we have disconnected and it’s causing a huge strain in our marriage. I recently read the Empowered Wife book and loved Laura’s approach on having a happy, successful, intimate marriage. I’m hoping that with her guidance and my courage I can apply the six intimacy skills and begin to feel that love and spark in my marriage that has slowly faded away.
  • Mrs. ireland.
    absolutely wonderful
    This podcast and the intimacy skills are completely life-changing. Applying what I have learned to my life has transformed, both my marriage and all of my relationships, including the relationship with myself. Marriage is very important to me, So is self reflection and improvement. This podcast and the book “The Empowered Wife” was the missing link for me. It gave me tools that are practical to apply to every day life. It is refreshing to hear in this podcast such positive outlooks which also include humility and responsibility for what you have the power to change. Thank you for sharing and truly making my life a better place.
  • Joyfully now
    The Intimacy Skills are life changing
    The skills are practical and teach women the how, how to show a man respect in his language, how to be vulnerable with a man in 5 words or less, how to inspire his desire to be my hero, as well as how to receive his efforts graciously. How my happiness is my responsibility and how happy people have happy marriages. What Laura teaches is simple and deep, and has made me a much better, more empowered version of myself. Now off to my nap!

    ABUSE IS NEVER OKAY - GASLIGHTING IN A BOOK
    Dangerous advice to women who are already in a fragile state. Women, if you are in an abusive relationship you are NOT the problem and it is okay if you need to leave for your safety. I was recommended this book by my MIL when I was married to an abusive husband and in addition to the gaslighting by my husband, the book just intensified it. I tried for a year to put the advice given by Laura in place to fix my marriage, relinquish control, show respect, etc and the abuse only intensified to where my now ex-husband, threatened my life. I went to see a Christian marriage counselor and she actually gave me advice that potentially saved my life. All of that being said, sometimes you are not the problem and everything that you do cannot change someone else’s problems. You deserve someone who treats you and respects you equally!
  • Jessica_LovedCherished&Adored
    25 stars!!!
    Finding this podcast and Laura’s books has been such a turning point for me. I spent too many years on the battleground begging for intimacy but would snuff out any chance of closeness with disrespect, snide snippy commentary, and criticism. These concepts are so simple yet bring about MONUMENTAL changes. Shining the light on how I was making the dynamic such a battlezone through Laura’s teachings and 5 day challenge has changed the landscape of our family’s entire lives. We were headed toward a place of making decisions to separate everything but now our teenagers are disgusted that we can’t keep our hands off of each other;) He told me this morning when he left for work that he missed me already-swoon! Listen to everyone of these and really self reflect about how you are showing up with your husband, kids, parents-whoever! Life becomes so much easier when you practice these skills.
  • NatVNel
    One of my favorite podcasts ever!
    This is the podcast I needed. So encouraging and helps us to be hopeful that we can have the marriage we dreamed of.

    Life Changing
    I have read The Empowered Wife at least 7 times and have been listening to the podcast for over a year. It is so encouraging to feel like you can DO something to help your relationship. Hearing these women’s stories reminds me every day to keep up with the skills and inspires me when I’m struggling.

    A Game Changer for my Marriage!
    I cannot say enough good things about the Empowered Wife Podcast! This show has been an absolute game changer for my marriage. From the very first episode I listened to, I was hooked. The advice and insights shared by Laura Doyle are not only practical but incredibly inspiring. The podcast covers a wide range of topics that are relevant to every marriage. Whether you're facing communication issues, struggling with intimacy, or just looking for ways to strengthen your bond, there's something in every episode that will resonate with you. What I love most is how Laura blends her wisdom with real-life examples, making it easy to relate to and implement the strategies in my own marriage. One of the most impactful changes I've noticed since tuning in regularly is the shift in my mindset. Laura's emphasis on respect, self-care, and positive reinforcement has transformed the way I interact with my spouse. We've become more understanding, patient, and loving towards each other. It's amazing how small changes can make such a big difference! I also appreciate the supportive community that the podcast fosters. Knowing that there are other women out there experiencing similar challenges and victories makes the journey feel less isolating and more empowering. If you're looking for a podcast that not only provides actionable advice but also uplifts and inspires you to become the best wife you can be, look no further than the Empowered Wife Podcast. It truly has been a blessing for my marriage, and I believe it can be for yours too.
  • ReceyCup!
    Needed the skills
    This podcast has changed the way I see my husband and myself. It is helping me change the way I look at him and how I see myself. I don’t need him to make me happy AND I can be happy even if he’s complaining. Both of us are changing because I’m changing.
  • ghgdjfvhjdfhkvdgkhhfh
    How do you respect your husband
    I’ve listened to many of your podcasts read both of your books. I tried the skills for 3 weeks but nothing was reciprocated or appreciated, I must be doing something wrong. Please help. I absolutely love every aspect of your writing.
  • Magmom3
    Love
    I love the stories in this podcast. Women helping women is a beautiful thing!
  • Blanca Araceli
    Very hopeful!
    I love the this podcast. I’m so glad there’s a resource like this. I felt so hopeful to find this resource after looking for answers other than divorce. None of the three pastor’s wifes I asked advice from could help me. There answers were “I’m sorry I’ve never gone through something like that. I won’t know how to help you”. Thanks so much Laura for this!
  • Devy2024
    Thank You
    I though the teacher who incoureged me to read the Empower Wife book got confused, so I decided to first listen to her youtube videos. After leasing all those wounderful testimonies I totally change my mind. I bought the 2 books and the audio as well. I think its one the must marvellous teching for our lost generation.
  • Aaz31
    So helpful!
    I’ve been really enjoying all of the content and transformational stories! It really helps to understand and reinforce the content of Laura’s book.
  • CarWalt
    I love this podcast!
    I found this podcast and the Empowered Wife book in January 2024. I love to listen to an episode every day to stay encouraged and inspired to show up daily as the wife and woman I want to be. Each woman’s story is so incredibly hopeful! And I love to listen to Laura encourage and affirm each guest. So thankful I found this podcast!

    After trying to do things my way for so many years and failing, trying to control my husband/marriage and “fix” I have finally found a whole new humbling outlook on my own behavior. I first listened to the book on Spotify then searched out Laura’s podcast. I now have ordered the hard copy and workbook on Amazon. I feel for the first time my marriage as well as other relationships in my life can heal. I listen daily to multiple podcasts and relate with so many. I’m hoping to join the ridiculously happy wives soon and be in a community as well as get coaching to keep working on myself and marriage.

    My friend who is now a coach introduced me to this podcast and book. It’s really fun to listen to and relatable in many ways. I wish I had it pre-marriage but it’s never too late. Easy to understand and practical skills that definitely help and work quickly.
  • sunnynslo
    So much good info!
    I love this podcast and advice given, it’s such a different take than the complain hamster wheel I’ve been on. It really is an inside job. Thank you Laura for sharing and being on the mission to end divorce!!
