How We Got Here: Paul & Dr. Lisa Get Personal

Love in Session

Show Notes

Before they started unpacking everyone else’s relationships, Paul C. Brunson and Dr. Lisa Paz had to figure out a few things about their own.

In this special episode of Love in Session, Paul and Lisa turn the questions on each other—and nothing is off the table. They trace the unexpected paths that led them here, from the experiences that shaped how they understand love and relationships to the careers, families, failures and big decisions that changed the way they see themselves.

Paul opens up about the moments that challenged what he thought success was supposed to look like, while Lisa shares how her own experiences shaped the therapist, relationship expert and person she is today. Together, they get candid about the advice they actually use in their own lives, how they approach difficult conversations, what they’ve changed their minds about and the relationship lessons they’re still learning themselves.

And along the way, you’ll learn a few things about your hosts that might surprise you.

It’s part origin story, part relationship deep dive and a chance to finally answer the question: Who are Paul and Lisa when they’re the ones in session?
