Relation-Smith is a podcast where a husband and wife share their relationship through conversation — sometimes naming what’s happening between them, and sometimes simply letting it be experienced.
Hosted by Jamie and Stacey Smith, the show centers emotionally safe dialogue across a wide range of topics, from moments of tension and difference to lighter, everyday conversations. Rather than teaching or advising, Relation-Smith demonstrates what it can look like to stay curious, present, and connected over time.
