What Accountability Looks Like

In this episode, Dr. Tracy Dalgleish and her husband Greg explore why accountability feels so difficult in relationships and how blame quietly erodes connection. They break down the difference between intent and impact, why apologies often fail to repair, and what real accountability sounds like in everyday conversations. Drawing from clinical experience and real-life moments, Dr. Tracy shares a simple framework couples can use to move out of defensiveness, reduce conflict, and rebuild emotional closeness. This episode is for anyone feeling stuck in the same arguments and wanting to shift from being right to being connected.
