Season 8 is Coming
What’s New, What’s Staying, and How You Can Help Shape It
I’ve got some exciting news to share as we gear up for Season 8 of the Relationships Made Easy podcast, which officially launches the first week of August! Whether you’ve been around since July of 2018 when I started, you’re a newer listener, or (gasp!) haven’t listened yet (!) thank you for being here. Whether you're working on your marriage, healing old family wounds, navigating friendships, or learning to finally show up for yourself, this podcast is for you.
🧭 What’s Changing (and Why)
Starting in Season 8, I’ll be shifting all work-related relationship content, those tips about your boss, that passive-aggressive coworker, the burnout spiral, all of it, into a new podcast that I’m calling (drum roll please)…
🎧 Work Therapy with Dr. Abby Medcalf: Where your work relationships get the therapy they’ve always needed.
Launching in October 2025, this podcast will be short and sweet with each episode focused on one problem and tips to solve it, in 20 minutes or less. That means Relationships Made Easy will now focus entirely on your personal relationships, your partner, your friends, your family, and of course, the most important relationship: the one with yourself. Will the tips still apply at work? Of course they will. I’m just not going to be calling that out anymore.
💡 Help Me Shape Season 8
I’m mapping out episodes right now, and I want to hear from you:
What are you stuck on?
What keeps showing up in your relationships?
What do you wish I’d cover but haven’t yet (or you want an update)?
If there’s something you’d love to see in Season 8, email me at abby@abbymedcalf.com or head to my Let’s Connect page. Just keep it short, no long personal letters or advice requests (it’s not ethical for me to give individual guidance over email). But a direct question or topic idea? Yes please.
