Interested in potentiall being on Salty Sweet?
Season One — Streaming This Fall
Kristien and Stijn love each other. The question was never that.
He drinks. She manages. He evades what the alcohol covers. She stays safe from the intimacy she says she longs for. He hates how sad she feels about the drinking. He doesn't want to be controlled. She is willing to be his therapist, at the cost of their intimacy.
Season One follows Kristien and Stijn through the ups and downs of substance use, and how they both learned to survive inside of a bottle. Will they find their way to sober intimacy? Will they kick out the mistress, the bottle, and become a couple alone together? We don't know how it ends yet. Neither do they.
Listen to Salty Sweet on all major podcast platforms.
You are years into the relationship. Things have gotten salty.
Something's got to change.
Deep inside, you know it doesn't need to be like this. But you don't know how to shift it, and likely you've already tried. Are you willing to give it one more go? I'm casting Season 2 now: one couple ready to do the healing relational work. The arc from stuck to reconnected, with me as your guide. I offer a safer, compassionate and effective space.
Salty Sweet follows your relationship through the actual work of relational healing. The real sessions, the friction and the repair, salt and sweet both, so other couples who are suffering in silence can hear themselves in it and know there's a way through.
I'm Dr. Pavini Moray, a Relational Life Therapy practitioner and Somatic Coach with 15+ years of experience and a strong track record helping couples move through the stuck places into relationships that actually work. Season 1 airs this fall, and I'm casting the second couple now.

Your guide
I've spent 15+ years working with couples at the edge of giving up, and watched most of them find their way back. I trained in Relational Life Therapy with Terry Real, hold a PhD in Somatic Psychology, and run couples intensives where, by day three, couples consistently leave clearer, more connected, and many recommit to each other on the spot.
Our goal isn't a polished happily-ever-after. It's the true story, so the couples listening in silence know there's a way through.
Questions you might have
What actually happens in a session?
The same work I do with any couple in my practice: real-time Relational Life Therapy and somatic coaching, aimed at transforming the pattern that's kept you stuck, and getting you free.
Will people know it's us?
Only if you want them to. We record audio only. You decide whether to use your real names and voices.
What if we start and want to stop?
You can. This is your relationship first and a podcast second.
How do you pick the couple?
I'm reading applications now and looking for a couple with eight or more years together and real willingness to do the work on record.
Does this cost anything?
No. The three to five sessions are free, and you'll also get a voucher toward a discounted intensive.
How do we apply?
Applications are open now and I'm reading them as they come in. If you are thinking 'this won't work for us', you are exactly who I want to talk with.
