People in stressful relationships are 35% more likely to develop serious illness, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, and substance abuse.
Children who grow up in homes with a high level of marital stress are far more likely to become ill, and once in their teens, they tend to have more aggression, struggle with grades, and develop serious social struggles.

WELL, SHIT.
How does this relate to you?
Well, I would bet that you would identify with one of statements below.
SO, WHICH ONE ARE YOU?
I’m pretty damn happy in my relationship.
THIS YOU?
THEN, TELL ME IF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR:
- The two of you are super connected, but there are times when you wish your partner would say something different to comfort you
- There are one or two issues that you differ on and no matter how many times you discuss it, you never reach resolution
- You’re very comfortable with one another, but sometimes you feel like you’re in a romantic rut
- You both get caught up in everyday minutia… ending up talking about bills or the kids or your jobs and not really connecting
- Keeping things exciting and thrilling needs to be a priority, because lately it’s just kinda “meh”
- You work hard to stay connected, but since the kids came, it has been a decent struggle
- You’ve often felt like the two of you are truly #blessed, but would love to know specific tools and techniques to communicate more effectively
- You’re still totally in love, but want to make sure you are continuing to make your relationship important
- You would LOVE to know what to say when you don’t what to say
I’m NOT ALWAYS SO happy in my relationship.
HIT HOME?
THEN, TELL ME IF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR:
- You often don’t feel heard in your relationship
- You feel like you are having the same conversation over and over and nothing changes
- If you’re super honest, you aren’t convinced the two of you will make it
- You (or your partner) often feel like you can’t say anything right
- You get fearful of (or just don’t want to deal with) how they will respond to serious subjects, so you keep quiet… until you explode, of course.
- You feel like your partner always thinks he or she is right, always wants it their way, and you always take the backseat.
- You are dying for connection and intimacy, but that rarely, if ever happens
- You often wonder if you’re asking for too much, are too needy, or think they may end up leaving at some point
- Even the conversations you start out on a good foot, end in both of you upset, unheard, and without solutions.
- You can’t imagine shit being exactly the same in 5 years or even 1 year, but have no idea where to start
[I see you rolling your eyes, but stay with me].
The skills needed are actually rooted in science and decades of research, based on fact, and can be implemented by literally anyone. Yes, even you. And yes, even your partner.
So, why does communication feel so damn hard sometimes?
It’s simple;
You just haven’t ever been taught.
I mean… how on earth would you know?
From Mom and Dad? Um, no.
Your last relationship? Hell, no.
Society and media? Absolutely not.
Enter into challenging conversations without being afraid of what your partner may think or say. You’re so connected these days that you always figure out an awesome solution where you both feel honored.
Be totally open and honest with your partner on the regular which has created killer intimacy between the two of you
Have sacred time together where you are both present, connected, and have a real understanding of each other.
Be truly vulnerable with one another which amplifies your incredible friendship, has you laughing your asses off together, and having frequent “pinch myself” moments.
Deal with fam, in-laws, and all that drama with ease, confidence, and true collaboration.
Spice things up in the boudoir department. Hello, Sexy time! How we have missed you!
Hear from your friends/fam how much your partner raves about you when you’re not around
Have people comment on Facebook/Insta pics of the two of you with #couplesgoals
to flying on the wings of connection, intimacy, and confidence in your relationship.
This 6-week, home study program will have you feelin’ like #couplesgoals in no time.
A truly happy, honest, and connected relationship isn’t just a dream.
It’s your reality.

WELL, SHIT. YOU MISSED IT.
BUT, WAIT! ALL IS NOT LOST!
Drop your info in the form below and you’ll be the first to hear when registration opens for the next round of Relationship Rx.
BTW… I’M AMY.
Have I not introduced myself yet? #rude.
M y name is Amy Smith (aka The Joy Junkie) and I teach aspiring badasses (you) how to effectively communicate without being assholes. Like, having a serious convo with your partner about the kids/sex/in-laws/finances and coming out the other side more confident, connected, and happy. Hello! No more simply surviving your relationship… it’s time to truly love it.
I believe that the key to unlocking killer communication is about understanding all those pesky feels, having a clear grasp on how you and your partner thrive, and implementing research-based and proven tools designed to create damn-near miraculous communication.
Through my near decade as a coach, speaker, and podcaster I have helped thousands of people unlock all the shit that stifles our happiness and connection in relationships. Of course you need more than that, so here are a few more reasons why you should listen to me [grin]:
- Everything I teach you in this course I have seen work miracles in people’s lives… because you need results, not theory.
- I’ve been in a serious #couplesgoals relationship for 21 years. (Yes, I got married when I was 12… J/K) Hi, Mr. Smith! Trust, it’s not rocket science and it can TOTALLY be taught.
- I’m actually a legitimately trained life coach. Yeah. No shit. Certified and credentialed. Boom.
- I have many thrilled, previous students who RAVE about the results these classes have made in their lives [like those up there + all over this page].
- I’m known to over-deliver. Tons of rich content. Tons of bonuses. You’ll be like, I can’t believe I didn’t have to give up my first born for these goods.
- I speak your language. F-bombs and drinking analogies abound.
Listen up, Love, your relationship happiness, connection, and intimacy are a big, fucking deal.
I mean, your health actually depends on it.
So, if I may be so bold, life is too damn short to waste one more minute in a BLAH or MEH relationship.
Or to think that it’s just not in the cards for you.
Or you guys will work on it when the kids are older, or when you aren’t so busy.
Or whatever other bullshit excuse your inner shit-talker may be throwing at you.
Listen to me.
No more banging your head against the wall having the same god-damned convo over and over.
No more fighting with no resolution.
No more walking on those damn egg shells.
No more butting heads on the kids/sex/in-laws/finances and getting nowhere.
NO. FUCKING. MORE.

CONCERNS ABOUT MY SPECIFIC RELATIONSHIP
IS THERE ANYONE WHO SHOULDN’T TAKE THIS COURSE?
This course is all about helping couples connect and communicate with one another in ways they’ve never tried before. So, if you know communication is your issue and you both are invested in making the relationship work, you are all golden. But, if any of the descriptors above apply to you or your partner, I would highly suggest considering therapy or consulting a medical professional equipped to properly diagnose and treat such conditions.
MY PARTNER WILL NEVER CHANGE, SO WHY WILL THIS MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
You share something you would like your partner to work on, they maybe do it once, and then it’s back to the same old shit. That’s actually super common. And, it’s actually fixable. It’s not actually about what you HAVE been saying, it’s about what you HAVEN’T been saying. This course will completely change everything about how you communicate and it’s designed to help you get through in a way you never have before.
WHY SHOULD I WORK ON THIS STUFF IF MY PARTNER ISN’T WILLING TO?
Also, what you may be feeling could fall into the realm of “tit for tat” and it can be poisonous to a relationship. As in, I’ll be romantic, but only if you are. I’ll be vulnerable, but only when you are, etc. If you continue on this path, it’s likely that it will only breed more anger, resentment, and mistrust.
But, if you really want to hold your head high, know you did your damnedest, and know you’ve kept your side of the road clean, this course will absolutely give you that peace of mind. For sure. And, in a best-case scenario, it just may change your entire relationship for the better.
IS THIS COURSE PRIMARILY FOR HETEROSEXUAL COUPLES?
Equality and fairness are huge values of mine, so same-sex couples or anyone identifying in the LGBTQ arena is more than welcome to participate.
LOGISTICS QUESTIONS
HOW MUCH TIME WILL THE LESSONS TAKE PER WEEK?
DOES IT MATTER IF I'M LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE U.S. OR CANADA?
DO I GET LIFETIME ACCESS?
WHAT TECH DO I NEED TO KNOW FOR THIS COURSE?
Your audio lessons and worksheets are delivered via email. You will receive the MP3 file with two options: You can choose to download the file to your computer and then to iTunes or your audio listening platform of choice or you can simply click the LISTEN NOW link and you will be able to listen via online streaming.
Your weekly worksheets will be given to you in PDF format which can either be printed out or filled in online.
WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY?
I will, however, request that you show me/submit your completed week 1 worksheets as proof that you gave it the good college-try. I will not issue returns just because you changed your mind as I expect that you do your due diligence and have full intention to put YOU first and complete the program. I must be notified within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. Due to the digital nature of this course, after 14 days, no refunds will be issued. For a full explanation of this policy, please visit this page.
miscellaneous questions
CAN’T I JUST LISTEN TO THE PODCAST AND GET THE SAME INFO?
Plus, I never, ever want my students to think they could have just gotten the info on the pod, so I make it extremely important to save the juiciest and most life-changing content for my students!
I’M GOING TO BE OUT OF TOWN, WILL I GET TOO FAR BEHIND?
HOW DO I KNOW THIS WILL WORK FOR ME?
I’m not saying it’s a cake-walk, but I absolutely believe you can do this. You may actually be surprised how simple some of the strategies are. But, I will say this: I’ll be goddamned if I fight harder for your relationship than you do. Show up, implement, and you will totally blow yourself away with what you are capable of.
IF I'VE ALREADY TAKE ONE OF YOUR PROGRAMS, WILL I STILL BENEFIT?
Even if there is a thing or two you may have heard, chances are it will benefit you to hear them again… or apply them in new ways. If you have worked through any of my other programs, this will absolutely push you in different, profound ways.
WHAT ARE YOUR COACHING CREDENTIALS?
GOT ANOTHER Q NOT MENTIONED HERE?
SHOOT ME A MESSAGE BELOW!
IMPORTANT: I will, however, ask you to submit your completed week 1 worksheets as proof of your good college-try. Additionally, due to the digital nature of this program, I will not issue refunds for change of minds or change of circumstances. I expect you to be intentional about putting YOU first and doing the work.
