You Don’t Marry a Person… You Marry Their Trauma with Yvette and Glen Henry

About this episode

In this episode of Shaping Freedom, Lisane Basquiat sits down with Glenn and Yvette Henry, creators of How Married Are You?, for a real and honest conversation about marriage, identity, and the work it takes to grow together.

They share how their relationship was shaped by what they each brought into it, from family patterns and expectations to unhealed experiences, and how those things showed up in their marriage over time. From shifting roles at home to navigating challenges with communication and intimacy, their story highlights what growth actually looks like in a long-term partnership.

They also talk about therapy, self-awareness, and the importance of doing your own inner work. Glenn reflects on learning to “father himself,” while Yvette shares her journey through motherhood, identity shifts, and learning to slow down.

This conversation is about doing the work, breaking patterns, and becoming the kind of person who can build the life and relationships you truly want.
