When you join the Communication and Connection Masterclass, you will see the changes you've hoped for.
You'll finally be able to...
- Talk through problems without getting sucked into a cycle of defensiveness, criticism, and shutting down.
- Tackle the actual issues at hand rather than shifting to fights between one another.
- Smoothly resolve disagreements that in the past would just leave you stuck and frustrated.
- Heal relationship wounds from the past so that they don't keep interfering in your current life.
- Connect daily so that you both feel understood and loved (and in turn, improve your physical intimacy!)
- Maintain connection with your spouse even during stressful or difficult seasons of life.
- Know whether individual or couples counseling is needed, and if so, how to find a therapist who can actually help you.

Happy Tears
"We were fighting constantly before working going through the class. To be honest, we were considering divorce. Now, we actually LIKE each other again. I feel heard, he feels heard.
Our family is better overall. We can tell that working on our relationship has positively impacted our kids. We are all so much happier now. Now that we've learned how to communicate."

About the Instructor
Kristin Penuel is a Licensed Professional Counselor and board certified counselor (NCC) in Trussville, Alabama, just outside of Birmingham. She has degrees in psychology, curriculum and instruction, and marriage and family counseling from Regent University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Kristin has a full therapy practice where she works with couples daily to help them reconnect, heal hurts, and create the marriage they want. She has had success with countless couples in the therapy office and hopes to share her research-based knowledge and strategies with any couple who needs it.
In the spring of 2025, Kristin started hosting communication in marriage workshops for the couples on her waitlist. After two full workshops, she realized the need was great, so that's what led to creating this more comprehensive online masterclass that people can access anytime, anywhere.
